Montour, May 29.-Cracksmen did
an Improbable job at the Montour
postoffice at an early hour this morn
ing. They blew open the safe and Sc
cured a few dollars and number of
private papers belonging to Postmaster
c. ]. Stevens, but Mr.. Stevens follows
the custom of placing the bulk of the
cash and stamps on hand in the safe
at the bank each night.
The cracksmen placed a heavy
charge OF explosive which blew the
safe door clear across the room. The
heavy door struck the heating stove in
it's flight and the stove was wrecked.
The building was slightly damaged.
1t is supposed that two men were
engaged in the job. DR.. Corns and Mrs.
Everest. landlady of the hotel are the
only persons who heard the explosion.
DR.. Corns returned from night call
into the country about 2:15 a. M, put
his team in the barn and retired. A
few moments later he heard the eX-
plosion. but did not give the matter
second thought, and the robbery was
not revealed until the office was OPP
ened this morning.
The cracksmen broke into the North
western freight house. and as the
speeder used by the section men is
missing. they are supposed to have
made their escape on the car. There IS
no clue.

Pedestrians were attracted by the
shooting and rushed upon the strug-'
Cling men. Dunn was dragged from
beneath Hickey and the revolver
knocked from his grasp. Hundreds
were attracted to the shooting. but
none Of the local police force appeared,
altho the shooting occurred a block
from the police station The shots were
heard by men in the station. The cause
or the shooting is unknown. The only
reason assigned is that Dunn held
grievance against Hickey because of
the commissioners employment of his
former wife as housekeeper. She was
divorced from, Dunn a few years ago.

possession Of her 9-months old babe,

the petitioner and her husband bill
for the board and care Of the infant"
1t was asserted that the restraint was
illegal in this particular.
That in January, 1912, some difficulty
arose between the applicant and her
husband and they were temporarily
separated. that at the time a brother
Of Mrs. Stewart took the child to Mrs.
Lantz to be temporarily cared for. but
since then the couple have become
fully reconciled, now live in Des Moines
and wish to have the care and custody
Of the infant.
When Sheriff Shores went to the
Lantz home to serve the notice of the
application for the writ. Mrs. Lantz
gave the child to the officer. saying
she could not go to the courthouse to
make defense because her daughter
was lying very ill. The sheriff deliv-
cred the infant to the mother who was
happy over its possession. She re-
turned to Des Moines last evening.

OF taking decisive part in the pending
