It Is Called the sold Man With
Four Legs" and Never
Fails.
INVENTOR is CONVICT
Continuance Is Made Of steel and Ripe
Of Safe Knob Without Making
Nolse-"soup" Sometimes
Necessary.

Grand Rapids, Mich.-A few years
ago a mechanician fashioned a few
strips of steel at his home forge and
the grotesque creation OF this man,
who is now serving time in the Ohio
penitentiary, was christened odd
man" and by way OF distinction he
was spoken of as having four legs.
But such legs
When top story men worked in
the Michigan Trust building here on
a recent Sunday and tore out the
combinations of two safes and shot
another with nitroglycerin, the -"old
man with the four legs left his
imprints on the safe. Where mis-
feet" had been planted were four
dents. Those marks spoke volumes
to the detectives.
Only the expert safe crackers use the
"old man." The man whose brain gave
birth to this ingenious tool fashioned a
most powerful and useful implement
for the craft" who use explosives and
drill steel safes for a living when some
commonwealth Is not feeding and
housing them in exchange for safe
cracking Job or some other depre-
dation.
"Old Man" ls Powerful.
A piece OF steel fashioned into the
semblance of a narrow horseshoe is
the framework CT the "old man.
There is Just enough room between
these strips to enable the old man"
to drop over the knob OF the safe.
Four holes drilled in the "old mans"
frame furnish the foothold for the four
legs.
The holes are threaded with fine
thread. as are the legs.
Once the "old man" fastens his grip
upon the safe knob the legs are
screwed into the holes. Tho close
threads on bolts and hole give the
"old man" a tremendous purchase
power and with monkey wrench the
legs" are screwed down.
In a moment they are fast and the
"old mans" back is bent to the task.
So short and powerful is his frame
and so closely set are his legs that
there is no chance for him to bend
at his work The combination COM
mences to give and as the jaws of the
wrench twist the legs in deeper the
knob is slowly torn out. Entrance to
the safe then is easy and the inner
compartments, once barred, are easily
battered in.

Little Boy Killed
At Hedgeville When Auto Driven by
Lancaster Negro Hits Him.

Mckee Turrin, 11-year-old son of
{. n. Irvine, who works on the farm
of Hannibal McBeath in the Hedge
vile section, of Boyle, just over the
Lincoln county line, was struck by
an auto driven by Irwin Turpin, a
Lancaster negro, about five o'clock
Wednesday afternoon and instantly
killed. People who lived near the
scene of the unfortunate affair say
that Turpin was driving at proba-
bly, so miles an hour and that he did
not stop. One report is that the
negro says he realized that he had
struck the boy but was afraid to go
back for fear he would be roughly
handled by the people in that COM
munity The auto is the property of
w. B. Burton, the well-known horse
and mule dealer of Garrad, who had
sent Turpin to Danville, with the
machine to have it repaired. The
negro was arrested and is in jail
kttS Lancaster, charged with murder.
The little fellow was hurled for
distance of so feet, it is estima-
ted, when the machine struck him.
He was playing on the roadside about
dusk and it is said started across the
road in front of the machine just as
it rounded short curve. The re-
mains of the little fellow were TAX

The negro was alone in the car at the
time that the accident occurred. He
declared that it was entirely acciden-
tai in every way and that he was
unable to stop the car when the child
ran suddenly in front of it. The
man claims that he was running on
Nv about 20 miles an hour at the
time.

Lincoln

The other tickets on the ballot re-
ceived few votes in Lincoln, the So
cialists making their best showing of
votes ever made in Lincoln by reason
of the big vote they polled at Row
land. where a strong Socialist local
has been organized and working for
some time. The scattering votes in
Lincoln were distributed as follows
Socialists at Mckinney; 2 at
Highland; l at Kings Mountain; at
No. precinct in Crab Orchard; 1 at
Waynesburg and 80 at Rowland, a
total of 81 in the county.
Prohibitionists- 2 at Mckinney
5 at No. 2 precinct in Crab Orchard /;
1 at Highland; 8 at Kings Mountain /;
1 at Crab Orchard No. 1; 8 at Row
land; in Macksville; 4 at Waynes-
burg; 2 at Turnersville and at No.
l precinct in Hustonville, total of
81 in the county.
Two Bull Moose or Progressive
votes were cast in the county, one at
Highland and one in Waynesburg,
showing that the some 900 votes
cast for Roosevelt in Lincoln in 1912
have gone to the two major parties.
The Socialist-Labor ticket received
one vote at Highland and two at

Wilson carried Montana by 10000.
Wilson carried the state of Wash

Friends of Gov. James M. Cox,
Democrat, who defeated Gov. Willis
in Ohio have started boom for him
for the Democratic nomination for
president in 1920.
Although President Wilson carried
Washington there is a possibility that
Hughes will get one of the seven
electoral votes in the State. A
Stream, Democratic elector, died
just before election and the name of
E. M. Conner was substituted on
some of the ballots. The substitution
was made so late that the name of
Stream appeared on the ballots in
many counties Votes cast for
Stream were invalid and may give
one Republican elector a plurality.
Illinois went for Hughes close to
100000 and beat Gov. Dunno for re-
election by 100000. They even car
ried Cook county, in which Chicago
is located and took away from the
democratic organization there 1,058
jobs with an annual payroll of ST.
822,730, which will undoubtedly be
considered the worst of all by the
Chicago democrats who have worn
their vests slick against the pie
counter Too bad, sure.
