It and a good one, too. A man who is

Three OFFICERS
TOFACE TRIAL
Montgomery Before Board
Despite Resignation
From Force
SAY ANOTHER
COP WAS DRUNK

The Police Commission at its
meeting this afternoon will hear
charges against two officers and a
complaint against another official.
The charge OF conduct unbecoming
an officer will be preferred against
Patrolman Edward Montgomery,
who resigned last Saturday after
charges had been preferred against
him. II is alleged in these charges
that Patrolman Montgomery bor-
rowed $50 or more in small loans
from storekeepers on his district and
then refused to reimburse his cred
itors. In one instance a storek eeper
informed the police that Montgom-
cry had offered to allow him to dis
pose OF whisky. This offer was
made when the dealer asked the Of
fcer to repay the loan.
Another officer will be charged
with sleeping while on duty.
The complaint TO be heard is that
OF an officer who is alleged to have
been intoxicated while on duty.
II is likely this complaint will be
followed later by formal charges
against this officer.

William Ackerman, an employe
OF the First National Bank. who was
ruturning home from a party, about
2.30 o'clock. and Robert Davis, the
night watchman. were some distance
away when they saw at least two
men jump into car in front OF the
postofiice and drive east on Second
street.
The 'yeggs" evidently made care
ful plans for a big haul but did not
succeed so far as II now known in
getting away with anything OF value
except the Nash car trolen from the
Abbott garade. The stamps and
change taken from the small safe
that was forced omen, amounting to
about $50, was found in a mail sack
on tho floor in front OF the vault,
where they had left 1t when fright

The postofiice which stands in an
open square was entered by Jimmy

doing this the burglars had broken
into the garage and stolen the car
and had also forced open the rail

An investigation made early this
morning showed the manner in

vault was still standing. This door
had not been opened up until early
this afternoon and experts have been

on entering the building the
''yeggs" evidently went TO work at

so little Of value after getting il open
turned their attention to the vault.
The family OF Colonel Robert II.
Williams. a short distance from the
postofiice, heard the noise OF the ex-

did not know what Il was. The explo-
sion aroused three bird dogs at the
home of Vincent NJ. Harrington
which is closer to the postofice than
the Williams hause. The dogs started
barking and kept it up for some
minutes until Mr.. Harrington got
up and quieted them. II is thought
that II was the barking of the dogs
that caused the ''yeggs' to depart
