Safe Blown
U
Up In Power
Go. Office
Yeggs Get Away With
Several Hundred Dollars:
Building Wrecked.
STRUCTURE WILL
BE TORN DOWN

An unknown burglar or burglars en-
tered the office building of the Noun
tain States Power company last Thurs
day night and at about 1915 o'clock
blew up the safe, using an explosive so
powerful that it practically wrecked the
building, two-story frame structure.
The safe was made of light sheet
steel with the walls packed with as
bestos, designed chiefly as protection
against fire. Apparently the safe was
first opened, the money removed, and
then blown up with charge placed on
the inside of it. The force Of the ex-
plosion completely demolished the safe
and made shambles of the interior of
the building. The top Of the safe was
blown through the ceiling, coming to
rest in a room above the office. One slab
of the sheet steel was blown against the
east wall of the building with such
force as to smash a hole completely
through the wall The other side of the
safe was blown through a west win
dow directly in line with where the
safe stood 1t took with it a piece Of
door within the office, leaving it on top
of the porch of the Driear house, dis
lance Of some 30 or 40 feet. That side
Of the safe was blown through the win
dow into the yard Pieces OF wall
paper and splinters show the direction
of the explosion through the window.
They are scattered across the yard to
the house occupied by Mr.. and Mrs.
E. J. Driear, Mr.. Driear being local
manager Of the company.
The safe was recessed into parti-
ton, with wall at its back. This wall
was torn to splinters, as is shown il
the picture ON this page, More than 20
electrical meters, stored in the supply
room at the rear of the safe, were
destroyed. A small refrigerator there
was also smashed, and the room in gen.
eral converted into a SHAMELESS.
Three RefriEerators Ruined
The front Of the safe was blown into
the front office. A heavy counter was
moved and three new electric refriger-
ators destroyed The refrigerators were
in the direct line Of the explosion. One
was blown over and its sides smashed
as though 1t had been hammered with
a huge sledge hammer The top was
torn--eff another of the refrigerators
while the third one was showed against
the floor of the display window with
such force as to badly dent the side
of the frigerator coming in contact with
the window.
All the plate glass in the front of the
building was blown out and crumbled
into small pieces. The frames support
ing the glass were heaved outward
and some of them broken.
The west wall of the building was
bulged outward and moved off the
foundation. A partition at the rear of

CONTRACT BRIDGE

| could not afford to lose even one
heart trick.
The 10 Of clubs was led and
finessed. 1t lost to South's @. AS
expected, the leader was out of
hearts, so he had to lead back an
other suit. When trumps were not
led it appeared as if at least one
missing honor of that suit was
held by the leader. The 2 of dia-
monds was led. Declarer split
honors, his 10 forcing North's @,
which lost to the Ace. That was
fine. The Ace Of trumps was led,
picking up Norths only spade.
The Z followed. South played the
8. Declarer's 9 won the trick. Both
declarer and South made errors.
Declarer should have taken his two
heart discards before leading the
second spade. When declarer led
the second spade South should
have won with his K, and led
diamond. Then North would have
taken two heart tricks and defeat
ed declarer.
Dummy was put in with club.
On two good clubs declarer let go
both his losing hearts. At the
ninth trick dummy's last trump
was led. It made no difference in
final results which honor South
played. It merely seemed more
normal for him to win with his K,
but he chose to let declarer pick
up the ] with the Q. This left
South the bare K of spades, while
declarer held the 1913. The 10 of
diamonds lost to the K, giving de-
tenders their second defensive
trick. The of hearts wcs led,
obliging declarer to ruff. South
let go his lowest diamond. Dunn
mys good 9 of diamonds took the
twelfth trick. Of course the final
trick went to South's K, with de.
clarers 10 undertaking dummy's
last heart. West had found just
enough favorable breaks to fulfill
his game contract.

Everybody must have noticed
how certain people, especially men,
after middle age, come to assume
this STOPPING, observation-disclosures
posture over a large Santa Claus
stomach.
They are further Characterised
by the fact that they have some
what purplish notified complexion,
due to the fact that the lungs are
compressed and proper aeration is
not obtained.
A curious symptom is shortness
Of breath when in the standing po-
sition. which disappears when in
the living position. This is exactly
opposite Of the shortness of breath
which occurs in heart failure, when
the patients cannot get their
breath while lying down, but can
get it perfectly while standing up.
# is due to the fact that the heavy
pendulous abdomen pulls on the
diaphragm in the upright position,
and does not allow it to empty the
lung completely in expiration.
Certain of the consequences of
this condition and the treatment
will be discussed in later articles
this week.

Plans Nome Bldg. Work To Co On
 During Winter

Attention of Nugget readers is called to the advertisement that appeared in last Mondays issue calling for sealed proposals for the furnishing of all labor and materials & performing all work for the construction of the U. s. Postoffice and Court House at Nome, Alaska. The advertise ment states that the bids will be publicly opened at Washington, D. C., at l PM, July 20, 1886.
 According to a news letter from the delegates office, it is learned that the plan is to have the con- tractors put in the foundation, and get the outside of the struc- ture completed by fall and the heating plant in working order so that the inside work of the building can be done during the winter months. This will be good news to Nomeites who have been waiting patiently for action on this project since the big fire of 1884. It will also provide work and a payroll during the long winter months, and it is to be hoped that the building will be ready for occupancy next spring or summer.
