Muench & Nemetz'
Market Burg|arized

Our town was in a tremor of
excitement Wednesday morning,
when it was discovered that
Meunch and Nemetz's meat mar
ket had been robbed in regular
yeggman fashion. Sheriff Joe
Dennis was on the ground early
and inspected the manner in
which the safe had been cracked
but there was not much of a clew
to work on. The robbers had
blown the safe door off it's hinges
apparently after ehey Ihad tried
to break the safe open with a
spike bar taken from the C. & S.
tool house. The knob had been
pried first and then the combina-
ton was knocked off and a large
nail driven into the hole where
this had been and evidently a
charge of powder had done the
work.
The drawer containing the
money, which happened to be
only SO. SO in change was taken
out and another one containing
some checks and papers, was
carried to the c. & S. tracks near
Valley avenue crossing where it
was found by Mrs. Muench who
was on her way to milk early
Wednesday morning. She saw
some papers scattered about with
Mr.. Muench's name on them and
then saw the drawer, She hur-
ried home and told her husband.
On arriving at the store Mr..
Muench found the door unlocked
and the battered door of the safe
leaning against the wall in the
llttsc room 1t occupies and one Of
] his coats, which had been soak.
Ell with water, was over it, hay
ing been used to deaden the
sound Of the explosion.
The cash drawer had leer
bried open and five dollars taker
from it.
! ne front Gou of Juclem'.
store was also found unlocked
but nothing seemed to be miss
ing, though it is believed tn,
thieves must have been scarce
away.
Strange as it may seem no one
in the neighborhood heard tn

Irrigating Ditch
Claims Life of Child

Claims Lite OF CnIId
One of the most distressing &C.
cidents occurred about l O'Clock
last Sunday at the tramway via
duct on Ralston avenue, when in
the twinkling of an eye the life
of Gilbert Eugene Helm, the 16
months old son of Mr.. and Mrs.
M. E. Helm was snuffed out by
drowning in the Wadsworth ir-
rigation ditch.
The details of the tragedy are
the most narrowing imaginable.
Mr.. and Mrs. Helm had two
little boys aged respectively 16
months and three years. They
all sat down to dinner about IL
o'clock, little dreaming that with
in one short hour the Angel of
Death would stalk forth and
snatch one from the happy group.
After dinner the two children
wandered out into the road in
front of their bungalow and got
to the viaduct, when Mr. Helm
discovered them and went to
bring them back. On the way
back from the bridge Mr.. Helms
attention was attracted else
where for just a moment, but
this was long enough for the
little toddler to get over to the
bank of the ditch and attempt to
to throw a pebble into the water
to see it splash. A scream from
Harold, the older child attracted
Mr.. Helms attention at once and
he ran to the ditch in a frantic
effort to save the child.
The banks were high with
weeds and the water was rather
muddy and he wos not able to
see the little form as it tloated
down the stream. To add to his
confusion the ditch separates
about so feet from the tramway
viaduct, one part turning into a
sewer tile, crossing the street ard
then turning and crossing the
tramway on the bridge. TIE
length of this pipe is about 1C0
feet and the size about IL or Is
inches in diameter. The Other
part of the ditch goes straight on
and through pipe on the other
side of the bridge. Mt know
ing which one the child was in.
MIR. Helm thought the chances
favored the latter and ran to the
mouth of the flume. He was
then convinced that it had taken
the other course.
His cries for help attracted
the attention of neighbors close
by, among whom were Mr.. and
Mrs. ]. A. Pierce, F. c. Murcqi-
son and Mrs. F. C. Vetting.
The child seemed to have lodged
in the pipe, but it was imposs-
ible to tell for certain just where
it was. After about twenty
minutes, which seemed hours to
the distracted parents, it was
thought best to turn more water
into the flume to flush it on thru
which proved successful, and
Mrs. Vetting was the first to see
the lifeless form emerge from
the mouth of the death trap.
DR.. Foster had been called in
the meantime and worked hard
over the little one in an effort to
rescusitate life, but without sue
cess.
Mrs. Helm had had hope up to
this time, but gave way when it
was found nothing could be done,
and it is needless to say the fond
young father was dazed with
grief and shock.
The funeral took place from
the Baptist church Tuesday after.
noon at l o'clock, Rev. Cooper
officiaring.
