Surround Building After
Nitro Blast Wrecks
Toudouze Safe.

Trapped in the Toudouze Brothers
General Merchandise company, 1890
South Flores street, early Saturday.
a 32-year-old safe-blower, claiming
Kansas City as his home, was cap
tured when a police Gordon was
thrown about the building.
The unmuffled blowing of the firm 8
safe awakened W. r. SAMSON, us
Mildred street. Looking through his
bedroom window he could trace the
burglars movements in the store by a
flashlight in the mans hand.
Detectives Joe Ruhnke and Bill
Carver, and Emergency Officer Cliff
Ramschissel answered Sansom's call.
Had the police emergency car been
a few seconds later, the safe-blower
probably would have escaped. As two
of the officers guarded the back of
the store, the burglar leaped back
into the building, barricading the en-
trance.
Triangular in shape, the building
presented officers with real problem
for entering and guarding at the same
time. A gaping hole in a plate glass
window in the front of the store,
where the bandit had entered provid-
ed an added avenue Of escape.
