Thieves, They Coz Only Worn Type
writer and Valueiess Strongbox

Officials of L. A. Wilmington & Co,
commercial brokers, Of 253 West
Thirty fourth Street, have lost the
thrill which accompanies the discovery
that one has been robbed. Their
Offices on the third floor were broken
into sometime between Saturday after
noon and yesterday morning, and the
safe was ripped open. This the fourth
time recently that it has occurred.
As the robbers continue to rob the
Wilmington concern they get less.
Members Of the firm expect to receive
an insulting letter from the perpetra-
tors of the latest intrusion, berating
them for not having something in the
safe that is worth the trouble neces-
sary to break into it. For no other
reason can they imagine why the
thieves took typewriter away with
them.

If any one is contemplating breaiing

to satisfy that unlawful purpose"
The indictment charges him with be-
ing party to the payment of a gratu-
ity of $50 for the recovery of a stolen
automobile. He asserts that the money
was received and disposed of in ac-
cordance with department rules, one
half goinG to the detective, 10 per cent
to the Police pension fund and 40 per
cent to the police relief fund. He sub
mitted Photographic copies of police
records in proof.

last four years has been Santa Fe
telegrapher at Houck. Mr.. Lindstrom
is engineer for the ice plant at Wins

was very gratifying to their teacher.
Mrs. Rudd plans to give a recital
during the early winter at the Pres
byterian hall, to which the parents of
her pupils will be invited. Each of
the numbers, both solo and duet, will
be a selection from some well-known
opera.

Can't you see it now! The biggest
tree the mountains boast! Hung with
tinsel and snuggy looking packages
which you know are little gifts foi

carols sung by every man, woman and
child Of the community?
Already we love to think of it as
our own community tree for this year
its success will settle for the sue
ceeding years the idea that Flagstaff
must always have its big community
tree and each and every organization
in town help with its existence.
Are you already learning the words

really sing them.
