without unusual noise or confusion.
From an inner vault they took $4,000
in polished, blue-white diamonds
Next they centered their attention
on a smaller safe whose mechanism
was far more intricate. 1t was
guaranteed burglar proof by reason Of
twin electric combination locks and
managers Of the company had placed
in it $4,000 in gold currency. Spread
ing a coat before the door to act as
an insulator against grounding, they
dcftly fingered the combination by
sound of the clicks as the tumblers
fell. Electric wires Of hair breadth
were moved aside and gently laid on
wood props to prevent their sounding
an alarm
An inner steel door was then ripped
from its sockets by means of sectional
crowbars and the thieves abstracted
the valuables without disturbing a
paper.
They escaped through a so-called
burglar proof door, closing the door
behind them and replacing the wooden
alarm rods without forming the circuit
which was supposed to summon help If
touched.

day they found complete set Of

SWOLLEN STREAM
ALMOST FATAL
Callender's Wagon Swept Away at
Widows Creek Last Saturday and
Old Man Came Near Losing Life.

Last Saturday while crossing Wild
ows creek west Of the Shaifer place
the wagon belonging to w. A. Callen-
der was carried down stream by the
swift current and an old negro named
Jim Walker clung to the body Of the
wagon and was rescued from a pile Of
drift further down the creek.
The road has been so bad near the
stream since the freshets of the early
spring that drivers prefer to ford the
creek below the bridge rather than
stuggle over the slides and washes.
Mr.. Callender's wagon arrived Just
after the heavy rain and the stream
was badly swollen. However, he at
tempted to cross. The wagon was
overturned, but the driver and team
succeeded in getting across with the
running gear of the wagon The body
Of the vehicle was washed away, the
old man scrambling out when il was
overturned and clinging to it, Some
distance down stream the body LODGED
against drift and this saved the aged
negro's life.
