Meanwhile the OFFICIALS called

some Of them were out Of town,
others did not answer the phone
at all--none could be reached at
that moment.

dent; there we sit. cudgeling our

SULLIVAN, echoed the others
in establishment.
''Of course. Sullivan; Lord bless
HIS crooked soul" Gradually smiles
Of understanding and hope replaced
the worried looks. Sullivan was
q notorious hank burglar and safe
blower who had been captured in
the bank several weeks before while
in the act Of preparing to blow
the very safe which It was now
30 important to open. A few min
utes' conversation over the phone
with the chief Of police and the
matter was settled: In half
hour q car containing several
policemen and the welI-known
criminal drew up to the door Of
the hank. They had not only
brought the safe blower. but all
Of his confiscated tools as well.
At a quarter to twelve Sullivan
called to his wife and woman
friend who had come tn-cheer her.
Now, then, she'll open.
The door swung wide and the
bank officials found themselves
looking squarely into the muzzles
OF six deadly automatics held in
the hands Of the two women and
Sullivan.
'I'm much obliged to you gen.

At the point of the efficient
looking autonatics, one of the
bank officials was forced to bind
the other three men and he, in
turn, was tied by one Of the
women.
Sullivan vanished within the
vault. He reappeared with a we'll

and gagged men an airy adieu
and walked leisurely out with his
two lady friends into the arms OF
Gordon Of police.

To The Ladies:
There are sometime, unusual occasions of
such importance that it is difficult to portray
merely with printers ink just how important
they may be.
An event is now tanspiring which means
very great deal to a large majority of the
women and girls of this community.
It is an opportunity for most of you to
practice real thrift and at the same time OBJ
tain things you greatly desire and need.
This occasion is the combined July Clear
ance and Removal Sale now being conduct
ed at the Frantz Shop.
1t will continue until the opening of the
new Frantz Shop at ITO East Second St.
The necessity for raising an extraordi-
nary sums of money for equipping and stock
ing the new store = an earnest desire. to de-
liver merchandise to you at minimum prices
and a tremendous effort to so reduce our
present stocks as to simplify the removal
work, all combine toward giving you bar
gains in apparel, millinery and dress access
cries that are almost breath-taking in their
greatness.
We really urge you to ike advantage of
this opportunity = do it today if possible; if
not, come tomorrow, or next week - just so
