ally nice. But unfortunately he
waited till not 90 much as q Fl III ap-

WelIs-FargO Safe Combination
Forgotten by Employee.
Changed Every Sixty Days So
No One Knows 1t.
FORTUNE is INSIDE
After Changing Figures" Agent
Can't Remember Them.
Company May Have to Hire
Safe Blower.

Wichita, Kan, Aug. 1S.-To have sew
eral thousand dollars of your own mon
ey within a few feet of your right hand
and not be able to reach it. is hard
luck. That is the predicanent in which
the WellS-FargO express office of this
city finds itself. The money, together
with some valuable papers, is locked up
in a big safe, and there is not man
on earth, so far as the officials have
been able to find out. who knows the
combination which will open the safe.
Ten days have elapsed since the
doors of the safe swung open for the
last time, and during that time every
man about the office has tried his hand
on the combination, but without sue
cess. A liberal reward awaits the
clever man who can devise q means OF
opening the safe without destroying
either the lock or the contents of the
safe.
When the combination of an office
safe is lost, or the only man in town
who is acquainted with it dies. it is
usually possible to wire to headquar-
tiers or to the factory. or somewhere,
and get the combination by wire or re-
turn mail. Not so with the Wells
Fargo.
The combinations on all the safes in
all the Wells-Fargo offices in the cOun-
try are changed about every 60 days.
This is done as a precaution against
ployee learning the combination by see
ing it worked several times every day.
l.. e. Castle of the local office is the
man who changes the combination on
the safes in the Wichita offices.
When Mr.. Castle changed the COM
bination on the big safe the last time
he forgot to make a note of the new
combination before closing the doors.
AS soon as he had finished working
with the machinery on the inside of
the safe door he slammed the door
shut and all hope of ever learning the
combination vanished.
Mr.. Castle realized his mistake as
soon as the door was closed, but try as
he might he could not remember the
grouping of numbers which would in
dicate the arrangement of the lock.
1t is now thought that the safe will
have to be shipped back to the fac
tory from which it came. At the fac
tory is Il man who does nothing else
but work on balky or unknown combi-
nations.

Kansan, It's Owner Twenty-Five
Years, Receivers Heirloom.
ROMANCE is RECALLED
Bachelor, Fond of Boy, Gives
1t as Remembrance.
While Threshing Wheat Stod-
dard Loses Keepsake.

Wichita, Kan, Aug. 1S.-A dozen
years under soil in a Kansas wheat
field has neither affected the works
nor the polish of a silver watch be-
longing to Sheldon Stoddard of this
city.
D. G. Kimple, who lives on a farm
near Lyons, Kan, was cultivating his
wheat field few days ago and plowed
up a bright, shiny watch. Mr. Kimple
remembered that many years ago MI
Stoddard had lost. a watch in the same
field, and upon investigation he found
this to be the same timepiece.
Mr.. Stoddards eyes glistened with
joy as he told the story of the highly
priced watch, which was given him
nearly forty years ago and mad been
lost for twelve.
The watch is not only surrounded by
interesting history, but is tangled IN
the midst of a romance When Mr..
Stoddard was 2 years old H. g. Blan-
chard, a bachelor, who had become very
fond of the youngSter, moved to CALI
fornia and lived there for many years
A short time before his death, however,
Mr.. Blanchard returned to the home Of
Mr.. Stoddard who was then young
man, married. and the father of d
small family.
It was in 1872, just a short time be-
fore Mr.. Blanchard's death, when he
had the only jeweler of the then little
town OF Valparaiso, mo, OfueF a Spe-
eial silver watch. This jeweler was
William Vail, a cousin of Edward Vail
of this city. The watch is solid silver
and exceedingly heavy. The works are
of fine standard make and the sup :
posed cost is nearly 800.
Mr.. Blanchard gave the watch to Mi.
Stoddard as d remembrance, with the
understanding that it should be handed
down in the family as token of
friendship Of "Old Bachelor Blan-
chard..
For % years never a day passed with
out the relic in Mr.. Stoddard's pocket
Twelve years ago, when the owner
was superintending a job of threshing
upon his farm, the watch was mystic
riously lost. Search was made in vain
and hopes of regaining it were given
up.

TRAMP COUNTY ATTORNEY DIES.
Colonel James ii. Snead Was on
'sHike'' when Nominated.

Tribune. Kan, Aug. 18.-Colonel
James H. Snead. county attorney of
Greeley county, is dead here after a
short illness, having been attacked by
a paralytic stroke. Colonel Snead is
the man who made Greeley county
notorious in the campaign last sum
mer as being nominated and known as
the tramp nominee for county attor-
ney.'' He was ~ years of age. Ken
tuckfan by birth but a western rover
by nature.
Admitted to practice of law as a
boy in Kentucky, he came to Kansas,
and during the Civil war was a gov
eminent scout. After the war he To-
Gated in Salina. Kansas, and entered
upon the practice of law. Later he
represented Saline county in the KAN
sas legislature, was often elected and
often defeated by small majorities.
Colonel Snead three years ago was a
candidate on the Republican ticket for
the nomination of county attorney of
Greeley county, but was defeated. He
was placed on the ticket by his
friends without consulting him, and
after his defeat he was placed by petit
ton on the Independent ticket and
again defeated for election.
At the time of his nomination he
was tramping over the country and did
not know of his good fortune until he
the daily papers had announced his
