Bank Robbers Fail
At First katiCna,

Some excitement prevailed
about the First National Bank
Tuesday morning when it was
learned that n robbery had been
attempted during the night. The
front door of the bank was found
partly open and Il crow bar and a
couple % slcdgc hammers and two
or three smaller tools were found
lying outside.
Roy S,alcy, who sleeps il '..

Two o'clock in the morning, he

and struck match, but hearing
nothing further he soon went 10

The striking of the match
probably what saved the bank
from further attack, as the too

making their getaway.
Mr.. Russell found the tools

uses every day and he also found
that the door to the tool house
had been pricd open and the too's
taken.
Roy Stalcy states that he could
not b" certain that he locked the
door, but he feels quite sure he
did. The fact that there is 40

South Sea Islanders of Enter

put on their very original enter

course in keeping with the primi-
tive surroundin rs of the South
Sea Islanders, and in keeping
with the primitive idea. a cani-
bal feast is prepared. Dick Rodda
seemed to be the most tempting
subject for a pot roast and
with the usual cere monies. they
chucked him into the oven.
When he was Drowned to the eX-
quisite taste of the chief cook"
he was brought forth and carved
into slices appropriate for serv-
ing. Milk was served. presum-
ably 'cocoanut milk" and they
say that everyone partook with
a relish. OF course, Dick was
no: literally cooked" but he
was well roasted"
The joke was that after Dick
disappeared into the oven. a big
chocolate cake with white frost
ing to outline the features and
form of a man, five feet tall and
of fair proportions, was drawn
forth and placed upon the cary
ing table.
The entertainment was very
enjoyable and many pleasant
remarks were heard from those

Considerable excitement pre-
vailed Saturday night in vicinity
OF Mr.. Woods residence on West
Sixth street. Two young ladies
who request the Enterprise to
withhold their names, came
home from town on the 9:30
Golden car, getting off at Griff-
ith, and as thoy were proceeding
homeward with their arms full
of bundles, two young men, APP
parently, came up briskly from
behind and snatched their purses
and ran.
The young ladies' aroused the
neighborhood with their screams.
but their assailauts made their
getaway. Chester Lawrence,
who attended Odd Fellows Lodge
ia Arvada says he saw two
young chaps lettering in that
vicinity few minutes before.
The young ladies say that they
had about $i.00 in all in their

from them.

letter to Sheriff Dennis he asks
that his trunk and valise be sent
to his brother at Lumbcck, Can

The letter was mailed to Shcr.
iif Dennis in letter ostensibly
written by Berry's brother. The
letter OF request was supposed to
have been sent to the brother of
Berry with the request that he
forward it to Sheriff Dennis.
Apologies were made in the let
ter for the spectacular escape of
Berry. 1t is somewhat of a re-
lief to know that Berry was no,
dcvOured by the venomous rep
tiles of the swamps of Oklaho-
ma, and he may yet be a guest

Arvada Creamery
To Start March |


2o'clock by those who are inter-
ested in seeing a creamery estab-
lished here at Arvada.
Quite number of prominent
farmers met with Mr.. Finkbeiner
and number of business men
and went into the details of the
plan.
Hon. Wesley Staley presided
over the meeting and stated that
as business man in the commun-
ity he was interested in seeing a
creamery here to take care OF the
dairy business instead Of seeing
it all go to Denver, and that the
First NationalBank would aid the
farmers in the purchase OF dairy
stock if they did not feel that they
had money to spare for this pur-
pose.
Mr.. Finkebeiner was called
upon to explain his position. He
showed that he had gone over
the matter thoroly. He said that
the creamery business was diff
erent from most any other be-
cause it was not the matter OF
findlug a market for the finished
product so much as finding the
raw material with which to run a
creamery.
He said he was ready to put in
the machinery for his creamery,
but that he felt it would be un-
wise to do so unless he could be
assured of plenty Of butter tat to
keep it going.
OF course he did not demand
that he should have the full re-
quirement for a lifelong business
at the start but he did want
to be assured that he would have
plenty at his disposal. The low
estimate would be about Is pounds
of butter fat per day to start with
for which he will pay the Denver
price.
Some of the farmers were anX-
ious to know whether or not he
could use the whole milk. He
stated that he did not want to
start with that idea, but after ne
got the creamery going in good
shape he might find it profitable
to put in a small condensory.
He thought that disposing OF
the butter milk at first would be
all the by-product he would want
to undertake to dispose of. He
proposes to sell the butter milk to
those who want il for lattening
purposes or for domestic use at
the Denver price.
VIII. Ketner, Claude White, DR..
C. V. Shoop and l.. T. Rogers.
were among the farmers who
showed much interest. 1t was
thought that arrangements would
be necessary 70 collect the cream
from the small producers, as is
now being done by the Windsor
dairy.
At the close of the conference
Mr.. Finkbeiner' expressed salts.
faction at the Encouragement he
had received from them and an.
nounced that he would 20 ahead
and install his machinery and
have it ready to begin operations
about March lst.
MIR. Finkbeiner has an ideal
place for such a business being
on the tramway line and on a
main thoofare. Wadsworth Ave-
nue.. and convenient to Arvada so
that the farmers can do their
trading when coming to town
to deliver their cream.
He has plenty Of money to
finance the installing of the plant
so that the farmers are perfectly
safe in changing to him. who
:, now are hauling TO Denver.
The Presbyterian church will
meet with Mrs. W. p. Greene.
Thursday Dec. 18th for an all day
meeting. All members are urged
to be present.

are part Of the scenery.
