The safe was blown with nitroglycerin.

the safeblowing at Drennen's," said
Chief of Police Bodeker. "and at once
went to the scene. After prelimi-
nary Investigation I can truly say that

At 2:S0 O'clock yesterday afternoon
Goodgame swallowed the contents of

attempt at suicide. His plight was dis
covered and City Physician Charles e.

where his stomach was pumped out.

1t was stated that Goodgame had

Goodgame resides at 2O3o Lyons

line. where he operates small gro
Gerry store. He also is employed by the
R. D. Burnett Cigar company as por-
ter. OF the arrest officer Moser gave
the following account
I'VE had been watching the r. d.
Burnett Cigar company for over a week
seeking to capture the thief who had
been plundering the place in the early
morning hours. We got the tip Satur-
day night that at daylight Sunday
morning the thief was to make another
attempt at breaking in Burnett's place
the office of the Taxicab company
across the street from the cigar COM
pany and watched for hours.
Enters Store
About 445 o'clock a negro passed
us and crossed the street and entered
the Burnett place with key. We made
no move and awaited developments In
about eight minutes the negro came
out of the store with his arms laden
with IA boxes of Portina cigars and
ttwo boxes of chewing gum. We then
rushed across the street and arrested
him before he could make a move to
resist. The negro readily adpitted his
guilt as he was caught red handed with
the goods.
| Later we went to Goodgames home
and his little store and recovered about
$500 worth of stolen property.
George Goodgame is well known to
the police as in prohibition time he
operated blind tiger After local op-
tion became effective Goodgame started
preaching and in this way managed to
escape conviction on many of the
| liquor cases against him.

more serious as we deposited in the
bank $4,000 at o'clock Saturday night.
However, to the best of our knowledge
the robbers secured approximately
s2500 in currency. They left behind all
the silver amounting to about $500 and
a roll of bills containing s61. They
also forgot to take any of the valuable
jewelry that was stored in the safe.
You can also state that our loss is fully
covered by insurance.
TAXPAYERS NEED
MORE PROTECTION
Lately there have been many things
happening to the police department but
there is one thing that has not hap
pened and that is to provide adequate
police protection to the. taxpayers Of
this city. 1 have no censure to offer to
Chief Bodeker for the fact that our
safe was blown open or to the police
officer on that beat. If / understand it
correctly the policeman on the beat
where our store is located covers sew
eral blocks and while he was at one
end of his beat our safe could have
been blown open several times withou-
discovery. The whole fault lies in the
fact that there are not enough officers.
1t is time for the merchants to look
at the situation seriously, as with the
holiday season at hand and thieves
committing such a bold robbery in the
heart of the city, the police department
should be at its highest efficiency"
A hammer and steel punch which
Chief Bodeker discovered the thieves
had left in Drennens store was turned
over to the detective department.

between the Messrs, Drennen and Com
