Horse And SADDLE STOLEN
FAILING TO GET ANY MONEY,
ROBBERS APPROPRIATED
VALUABLE ANIMAL

When Ben Bruhn arrived this morn
ing at his livery stable, which is 10
Gated on Twelfth street between Doug
las and National avenues, he discover
ed an attempt had been made last
night to crack his safe. He lso discov.
cred that man named Charles Will
liams, who had been employed by him
at the stable, had disappeared, to-
gether with valuable horse, saddle
and bride. Mr.. Bruhn believes it was
Williams and possibly an accomplice
who attempted to blow the safe.
Three holes were bored in the safe
door. The brace and bit with which
the job was done were found lying
on the floor in front of the safe Evi
IDENTIFY the robbers had been frightened
away before being able to complete
their job. No Ritroglycerin or other
explosive was found in the barn. 1t
is believed these were taken away
by the yeggmen. The safe was not
badly damaged 1t contained only $35.
Williams came here some time ago
For a time he vas employed by the
Ackerman dairy. Later he washed
dishes in a local restaurant, enter
ing the employ of the Bruhn stable
only a short time ago. Williams is
possessed of the cast of countenance
known as "rat-faced." City Marshal
Ben Coles, seeing him about town, be-
came convinced he had seen his pic
ture in a list of escaped criminals
whose arrest is desired by peniten-
tiaries and detective agencies. Coles
took the trouble to look through all
the photos of criminals possessed by
him but could not locate Williams
face in the entire bunch.
1t is believed. however, that Will
Hams is something more than an
ordinary thief. The officers think he
is a professional safe blower. Doubt
less while in Las Vegas he was under
cover, endeavoring to elude officers
after him for some big job. Deciding
to leave, Williams probably thought
he would get into practice and gain
a little pin money by blowing Bruins
safe. 1t is believed the name will
liams" was a fictitious one. A strong
effort will be made to capture the
man as it is thought not at all un-
likely that he is desperate criminal
and will pull off big safeblowing in
this part of the territory if not taken
into custody.
It is certain Williams was
assisted in drilling the holes in the
safe and that the men took plenty
of time at the job. A large number
of cigar stubs were scattered about
on the floor of the office, showing
the leisurely manner in which the
men worked.

Jones under arrest. 1t is said that
Jones made damaging admission at
the time he was taken into custody,
which will not be made public until

Attending physicians have given up
hope for Gardner's recovery and his
death is expected at any hour. He
was shot through the right side of
the head. just above the ear. Two
No. 4 shot took effect in the brain.
Jones will likely be held until Gard
ner dies and will then be arraigned
on charge of first degree murder.
Jones came to Taiban about fifteen
months ago. He is 32 years old He
and Gardner had been associated to-
