SAFE CRACKED AT CORICH & SONS
SALOON

Some time Sunday night the safe in
the office Of John Corich & Sons. was
blowed with nitro glycerine and S75O.55
secured by the expert handling the job.
In another locked drawer of the safe
was more than $1,000 fortunately over
looekd by the robbers. The thief or
thieves entered the building through
a rear window The combination lock
was knocked from the safe with q
large sledge hammer and crowbar sto-
len from the c. & s. section house here
and were left in the office. The profess
sionals then closed the aperture around
the door of the safe with soap and
touched off the charge of explosive.
The job was complete and showed that
the man or men handling 1t knew ex-
actly what they were doing. The rob-
berry was discovered by Luther George
and VIM. Mitchell when they OPEN
ed the saloon for business at o'clock
Monday morning.
Officers working on the case refuse
to disclose what clues they haev The
job is said to be exactly like several
others recently done at Trinidad and
towns in Las Animas and Colfax coun-

this section. Several arrests of sus-
poets have been made ana evidence is
accommodating against them. A supply

the effects of one of the number.

A. G. Graham.

OSdJu Cdill6 upOll
Albert Clifton Graham, a veter-
an travelling salesman of this
city, yesterday afternoon at a.
bout $3.50 o'clock, as he was con-
versing with friends, in the city
of Port Lavaca, where he was
making one of his regular bust
ness trips. A laughing remark
was followed by a sudden pain,
a quick ~faintness, and within
two minutes, as he sank gently
down, supported by the arm of
w, B. Grizzard of this city, he
breathed his last.
Mr.. Graham was born in Lex
ington, Mo-, on March 20, 1857,
was therefore, at the time of his
death, so years 5 months and 8
days old. He came to Texas
when a young man and was mar
ried to Miss Marie Border, a
stepdaughter of the late Govern
or o. M. Roberts, and she with
two daughters, Mesdames Carl
A. Grammar and L. B. McGuff-
in, survives him.
He had been a resident of this
state for about 35 years and
during nearly all of this time,
he was a travelling salesman for
the international Peters Shoe
Co. He had a wide acquaintance
over the state, who found him
a man of high ideals, strong con-
victions, careful of his good
name, and determined to make
no representation that he could
not fully substantiate. He was
knightly in his bearing, kindly
and courteous to all.
For about fifteen years Mr..
Graham resided at Austin,
where perhaps he is better
known than at any other Texas
city. About five years ago, he
was given a territory in South
Texas, and as his daughter,
Mrs. Gramann, then resided
here, he decided to locate in Gu
ero, where he has since lived,
and where none have known him
but to love him, and none speak
of him but to praise.
The remains were brought to
Cureo on the morning train
from Port Lavaca, and from the
depot were taken to the resi-
dence of C. A. Gramann on Con-
zales street, from where the flu
neral will take place this after
noon at 5 o'clock. Rev. u. B.
Bowden, formerly Episcopal rec
tor here, will have charge of the
services at the house and at the
cemetery the Knights of Pythias
will be in charge and will use
their beautiful ritualistic cere-
monies. Mr.. Graham was a long
time member of the Episcopal
church and Knights of Phytbias
lodge, and was always loyal to
both.
Having known him a number
OF years, the Record shares the
loss of the community in his
passing and joins his wide cir
Gle of friends in an expression of
sympathy for those near and
dear to him, who are sorely be-
reaved.-Cureo Record.
