Monday morning when he made
the discovery. On his arrival to
open up the building last Monday,
to his surprise, he found the safe
wide open and the locker on the
inside pried open which contained
the above sum. The combination
was not injured, although dam
aged by a slight ebrasion made
with hammer. Inside the safe
there are three compartments
which were locked, and strange
to say the one containing the

No doubt the burglar was well

where between two billion and
three billion dollars added to the
states wealth.

have leased their oil rights and
stayed right along on the farm
and have not changed their habits
