POSTAL OFFICE
ROBBED SUNDAY
Only $40 Secured; Believed
Thieves Expected Large
"Haul." IN

The Postal Telegraph Co. Office
was entered last night, the till brok-
en- open and $40 stolen. Chief of Po-
lice Odin OVERLY examined several OF
the messenger boys today but nu
clew to the thieves was found.
The door had evidently heen open
ed by a key and the till forced with
a pair OF pliers. Often on Sunday
nights money, left in the till amounts
to 5000 or moe and it is thought
that the thief or thieves expected to
make a much larger haul 81
Although the boys are heing given
close attention there Is some ground
for the belief that the robbery wa
not committed by youngsters and
other arrests may follow very soon.

butcher.
Since he was in the u. S. army

"The gun formerly owned by Jesse
James," Cahill related, "was obtained
by me from j. Northcutt Of Nebraska
City, Neb., a life long friend of the
famous outlaw. The Bob Dalton gun,
! got in Wichita-it was taken from
Dalton a short time before the COT
feyville raid by the Wichita police"
While in the Philippines and the
Orient, Cahill procured number of
odd appearing weapons including an
Egyptian rat-tal gun used in the
early part of the eighteenth century.
Most of the weapons have their dis
tinct histories, many with tell-tale
inches in their wooden handles. Sew
eral were relics Of famous murder
cases while not few were found by
Cahill in pawn shops and were pur-
chased because Of their antique makes
or other peculiar characteristics.
