Shawnee Bank Burglar Alarm
Causes Excitement.

Recent rains have caused a rurI-
Der of newly laid Sidewa lks on the
North side to sink. The walk in
front of the No. l fire station near
the south SIDE of the building has
sunk several inches in one place.
Near the corner of North Kansas

pressed by the damp weather.
Alarm Causes Excitement.
The burglar alarm at the Shawnee
State bank building was set off Sun
day morning at 8 O'clock causing
considerable excitement in the yicin-
1ty by the constant ringing of a large
gong located on the south side of the
building. 1t was ten minutes before
o'clock before the bank officials ar
rived at the bank and disconnected
the current. The cause of the alarm s
going off could not be ascertained.

Weather conditions generally have

there was a lack OF rain.
