Place on Granite Street Was Visited Last

forced their way into the offices at
Broggi Bros. granite plant at the foot
of Granite street and relieved the safe
of S. in bills and a small quantity of
loose change Entrance was gained by
means Of broken pane in the office
window. The burglars finished the work
evidently started sometime before by
small boys and destroyed the entire win
dow in their efforts to reach the room.
That they were successful was much in
evidence this morning when member
of the firm opened the Office to see pa
pers scattered about the floor and the
safe door wide open. Investigation re-
vealed the absence of the money.
The safe is not kept locked and who
ever entered the place had little difficult
ty in acquiring the loot. The firm inn
mediately notified police headquarters
and Officer Harry Gamble was sent to
the shed to look for traces of the mid

window, fired at every movement
within his range of vision.
Soon after daybreak the posse was
reinforced by party of county de-
tectives under John T. Burke, and
preparations were made to rush the
house. A heavy fog hung over tbs
valley, delaying daylight until long
after 8 o'clock.
Miss Estelle Yekbik, who was
shot twice when she refused to adj
NIT Rokowski to her home after he
had killed the constable, was in the
Homestead hospital lowering near
death, with a bullet close to her heart

had been beaten by the son yester-
day afternoon, and for which Con-
stable Windt tried to arrest him, was
held in the police station as a wit
ness of the shooting.

word was brought from Hays, a vii
lage nearby, that Rokowski had Just
passed through there, going up the
Monongahela valley. Investigation
showed the house was empty, the man
having slipped away in the fog A

Atlanta, Dec 30-A wildcat" all

created panic on Forrest avenue
yesterday afternoon, by climbing
fences, romping over peoples front
yards, hurdling though trees and
smashing water plugs.
The car belonged to Brigadier Gen
eral r. K Evans, but neither he nor
anybody else was responsible for the
wild flight The engine had gone dead
on the slope of hill, right on the
streetcar track. The tracks were
slipper, and the street was slipper.
The two occupants got out to crank.
Just as they occupants got out 20
crank the car. 1t wouldn't crank.
Just as they were considering other
ways to start it, streetcar, which
couldn't stop because the wheels we're
slipping bumped the auto in the rear.
The bump set the auto engine to going
and kicked the clutch in. The car
started down hill like mad, and part
way up the next hill before the steer
ing gear began to twist little. Then
the car left the road and played about
among the front lawns. The only
thing it failed to get over was a gran
lite wall, where it came to a halt. The
car wasn't exactly ruined, but it will
be in the garage for a long time TO
come.
