Mr.. Foster will make a survey OF
the topography Of the city and has
obtained several Of the best maps

SAFE BLOWER TELLS ODD
TALE OF HIS DOWNFALL

4&ANH vi 4AAS wv III ALL
Milwaukee, Wis, Feb. IT,
There was sad, sobby story told
in the district court here yester-
day by Edward Lavery, ii years
old.
Lavery had been serving a
term in the house of correction
for vagrancy, and was brought
into court to face the more Sc
rious charge Of safe blowing.
"To-to-think that | have
come to this" sobbed Lavery as
he faced Judge Neelen.
Judge Neelen is a kind-hearted
man. He was interested.
Tell me your story" he said
to Lavery.
once sobbed Lavery, "once
I was rosperous safe blower"
"What!' exclaimed Judge Nee
len.
"Yes, your honor" shifted Law
cry, "and | might be one yet, if
l had not failed in me duty"
'Iow did you fail in your
duty?" asked Judge Neelen.
Il didn't-didn't kill a dep
uty sheriff when I had de
chance" snuffled Lavery, his
voice choking with bitter sobs.
''You-you didn't kill" gasp
ed Judge Neelen, who was pass
ing into sort of dreamy state.

ued Lavery. Il had de chance an

''What happened them?" asked
Judge -Neelen.
81 was IA marked man, your
honor, among de profession, and
1 couldn't get away wit a job
anywheres. A safe blower has to
work wit a gang, your honor"
The detectives who came here
after Lavery say there is more
truth than poetry in his story.
They say Lavery's other names
are Thomas Moffat and Thomas
Elliot, that he was for years one
of the most notorious-or as Law
cry himself put it, successful,
yeggmen in the country, and a
leading member of the famous
"towery gang" of Ohio.
The fallen safe blower will re-
turn to Ohio to answer the
charge of blowing the safe of the
City Bank, at Hillwood, Ohio, a
suburb of Columbus, December 2,
1910. Lavery and the gang got
$5,z25 out of that job.

long severe winter exterminated
all in this country, but another in

border and is officially reported
