The saloon of Simon Lewis, located

some time last night or early this
morning, a successful getaway being
made with about $50 in cash. The

at the Lewis establishment to remove
the money from the cash register each

Committee viii Be Able to Provide
Well for Az Whose Addresses
Can Be Ascertained.

Another busy day by The Argus
Santa Claus committee resulted in the
unearthing of many additional names
to be put on the list OF children who
will be taken care of this year at
Christmas through the medium of the
good fellows" Of the city and The
Argus. There are still many whose
names and addresses are unknown,
however, and the committee is
anxious to receive notification of these
either through the people themselves
or through neighbors. It is the earnest
hope Of the committee and in fact of
everybody who has aided in making
the project the big success it is. that
not one single child be overlooked on
the eve OF Christmas.
SEVERAL SAD CASES.
OF the many sad cases discovered
yesterday. the following two are fair
examples. A half clad, starved-look-
ing little newsboy was found half
asleep on the L. S. McCabe e. Co. de-
partment store steps. Kind hearted
clerks won his confidence and learn
ed that he was tired and sick but
thai his mother made him sell papers
TO help earn bread. The girls
or rather one of them-bought
out his entire supply of papers
and sent him home. An hour
later the same lad was found
10 another part OF the store and he
had fresh bundle of papers. Amidst
tears he told that he had gone home
but had been forced by his mother to
return to work He was cold and hun
CRY and sick but that had made no
difference with his parent The clerks
- dubbed together and saw that the laf
had something to eat and drink and
fitted him out with stockings and nit
teIs. He confded in them that he
had hopes that Santa Claus might
bring him a suit of clothes and a pair
o: shoes because he knew his parents
could not afford to provide them. Hhe
boy was allowed TO depart without his
address having been ascertained but
the committee will make every effort
to find him and see that his hopes for
Christmas are more than realized.
Another case. A lady member of
the committee boarded a street car
and found a little half-starved and
poorly clad girl there. The lady ask
ed the child If she was expecting a
visit from Santa Claus and the re
Spouse was no" The lady thereupon
promised the little girl that Santa
would visit her provided she furnish.
