MIDWEST OFFICES
ROBBED OF BONDS
MIDWEST REFINING COMPANY
LOST LIBERTY BONDS IN
DARING THEFT.
BIG SECURITIES GONE
TAKEN FROM STRONG BOX IN
OFFICE WITHOUT LEAVING
CLEW.
Western Newspaper Union News Service.

Western Newspaper Union News Service
startling robberies perpetrated in
years, enacted in the heart Of the
Denver financial district, astonished
the police when officials of the Mid
west Refining Company, with offices
on the eighth and ninth floors of the
First National Bank building, re-
ported the loss of $1S,35O in Liberty
bonds, which disappeared from the Of
flee of Henry A. Jones, treasurer Of
the company, some time between 2 80
o'clock Saturday afternoon and 8 80
yesterday morning.
Appearances indicate that the theft
was what the police term IAN inside
job"-the work of someone familiar
with the office surroundings.
The bond burglary affords paral-
lei to similar Liberty bond thefts in
the New York financial district re-
Gently which caused police all over
the United States concern. With alb
SOlutely no tangible clew, the author
tiles have begun an investigation, De-
tective George Sanders being assigned
to the case.
There is not the slightest evidence
that a sneak thief unfamiliar with the
office could have robbed the treas
urer's desk, which apparently had
been opened with a key.
Inside the desk an iron strong box
which held the bonds was found with
it's lid pried open and the contents,
$4,000 in Liberty bonds Of all de-
nominations and $500 Of personal Sc
curities, missing.
Treasurer Jones reported the rob-
berry to the police Immediately after
he had opened the desk and noted the
loss. He declared to the police that
he had left the box inside his desk,
securely locked, Saturday afternoon.
AS he left the offices on the ninth
floor of the bank building, he said, he
noticed several clerks perusing the
ledgers and accounts, working Satur-
day afternoon, which is half-hOli-
day, to catch up.
The missing bonds were held by the
treasurer for distribution among en-
ployes as they made final payments
for them by time subscription ar
rangement. The police say that the
bonds are not registered, and thus are
readily negotiable.
That the robbery is the work Of a
person familiar with Mr.. Jones' office
is evidenced by the fact, the police
say, that the burglar entered office
number 800, that of the treasurer,
without molesting any of the dozens
of other private offices. Nothing but
the strong box within the desk was
tampered with, the rObber going di-
rectly to the box and making away
with his loot quickly and quietly.

The thing is impossible. A wall

with leaves to match, may be borne
with for a day, or even a week, but
when it comes to living with it a
whole year. and often much more,
it gets on the nerves and trays the
edges of the nervous system.
Then there is the flower paper, a
few degrees worse than the fruit salad

background may be all right, but when
it comes to what the Covent garden
