SAFE BURGLARY
NIPPED IN BUD
BY SILvIS MAN
l.. ID. Newton Walks Into Market
While Job Is in Progress
Perpetrators Escape.
Especial Moline service.J

An attempt to carry away the
safe of the George Newton Sons
meat market, SIG First avenue. Sill
Wis, at s O'Clock last night, was
frustrated by the appearance OF
Louis D. Newton just as the
Thieves were making ready to load
the depository into a Packard au-
tomobile. The safe was abandon
ed in the alley at the rear of the
store and the three men and a
woman in the car made a clean
getaway. The machine was found
this morning at Warmers Crossing
in East Moline, where 1t had been
abandoned when the gas gave out.
The machine is the property of O.
H. Gavin of Columbus Junction,
Iowa, and was stolen in Muscatine
about a week ago. Mr.. Newton
had gone to the market, not to bat
tie with burglars, but to fill an
order for a restaurant across the
street. 1t has been his practice to
do this on Sunday evenings for
some time. He parked his automo-
bile in front of the market while
he went to the restaurant to see
what was wanted for the early
morning trade. Then he unlocked
the front door of the market, went
inside and turned on the lights. He
noticed that meat block had been
moved, and he knew at once that
some one had been in the store. He
went to the Keystone Drug store,
next door, and got Guy Pulley, the
proprietor. Julley got his revolver
and the two men went around to
the alley They saw the auto,
which had been parked on Eighth
street, driven toward the alley, but
the driver Of the car, seeing New
ton and Pulley, turned the machine
around and startde toward East
Moline.
Newton and Pulley found mo one
in the alley, and the supposition is
that the thieves, after having moved
the safe to the alley, went together
to where their automobile was
parged, intending to ride back and
get the safe. They were probably
after the machine when Newton
first entered the store.
An investigation showed that en-
trance had been gained through
rear window, the bars of which had
been pried apart and the pane
broken. The safe was taken out
through the rear door. The safe
weighs 500 pounds. 1t contained
about 800 in cash and papers and
other articles valued at 500.

INDIANAPOLIS, IND.-From the de-
j lightfuI hubub of Los Angeles
comes the announcement that Jimmy
Murphy. one Of the youngest of the
prominent gasoline charioteers, will
drive a Duesenberg in the Interna-
tional 500-mile race to be waged over
the bricks of the Indianapolis Motor
Speedway, Monday, May 80.
Murphy was fourth last year in a
Duesenberg and wants another
chance at the fat purse which is hung
up each year at the great Indianap-
oils event. Murphy is a careful, con-
sistent driver and although his car
was miles per hour slower than sew
eral other mounts in last years event
he was ever in the running, plugging
along, nursing the speed and endur-
ance of his car into first-division
position.
The youthful driver learned many
of his racing tricks from the worlds
speed king, Tommy Milton, former
ly with Duesenberg, but who is now
plotting a Durant Special. And hav.
ing followed Milton through his rae
ing teens II was not unusual to see
The Owosso times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1897-1926, 1921-04-15

him trail to the finish line just short
space behind Milton last May.
Murphy has the distinction of his
first winning being a championship
race, when he swirled around the
boards of the Los Angeles Speedway
at the rate of 1882 miles per hour in
a nonstop drive little more than a
year ago. He bested a field of classy
drivers and his skill has been sub.
ject of discussion and consideration
ever since.
He demonstrated in that race that
"Old Man Luck" valuable com.
panion in racing, was with him. for,
while attempting to turn an extra
lap after getting the checkered flag,
he ran out Of gasoline and had to
walk home from the back stretch.
Murphy has a big following In In
dianapolis and around every course
for that matter. His genial DISPOSE
ton, determination to win, and a
kindly word for all who work with
him, make him a favorite.

HOW Can YOU TELL YOUR
FAVORITE TOBACCO?
As Plain as the Nose on Your
Face-Just Smell Il

Smokers do not have to put tobacco
in their pipes to find out if they like it.
They can just rub the tobacco between
the palms of their hands and smell it.
The nose is an infallible guide to smok-
ing enjoyment.
All smoking tobaccos employ some
flavoring "to improve the favour and
burning qualities of the leaves, to
quote the Encyclopedia Britannica.
Naturally, there is considerable differ
ence in the kind of flavorings used, and
the nose quickly detects this difference.
TUXEDO Tobacco uses the purest,
most wholesome, and delicious Of all
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. And the almost
universal liking for chocolate in great
measure explains the widespread popu-
larity of TUXEDO Tobacco.
Carefully aged, old Burley tobacco,
plus a dash of pure chocolate, gives
TUXEDO Tobacco pure fragrance
your nose can quickly distinguish from
any other tobacco. Try it and see.
