a half nelson on his fighters while
they are going good. but once the
rollers commence to whirl around he
generally finds an out. He ought to
be due to spring new one pretty
soon.

ABOUT TWO WEEKS AGO BOLD
CRACKSMAN TRIES TO BLOW

ENED AWAY-WORK D1SCOv.
Erred THIS WEEK.

It became known Tuesday that
about two weeks ago an attempt was
made to blow up the large safe in the
Campbell Mercantile store in this city,
when safe specialist had occasion to
examine the safe.
Two weeks ago at about l o'clock in
the morning, when E. A. Marsh was
passing the store, he heard loud re-
port and was sure that safe crackers
were at work. He notified the police
and they Immediately surrounded the
store, guarding both the front and the
back. Fred Ward and son Kenneth, Of
the store, were summoned from their
home and five police and a number of
other citizens entered the store and
searched for the disturbers, but alb
oolutely no trace was found of them.
Mr.. Ward thot the police had been
mistaken and the matter passed from
his mind until Tuesday, when safe
man came into the store to examine
the unused safe. He found that a
Jimmy had been used on the dial and
It appeared as tho quantity of nitro
glycerine had been poured in. It was
no doubt the report of the explosion
that disturbed dad" Marsh. The
safe expert was not particular about
fooling around the safe and any brave
man who will volunteer to open it can
get box Of choice cigars from Mr..
Ward, we are sure.
It is believed that the cracksmen
lay in hiding in the store that night
until the searchers left and then quiet
~ sneaked out. !
