SAFETY VAULT BOXES OPENED

Iliink Jlnll lliif-riirtlni | Mho I lull
Their Money Mlstlni ; .
The general belief that a safety deposit
vault ls absolutely rvcure against loss by
theft or fire hut been rudely dispelled In
Omaha by the discovery that large sums of
money have been mysteriously taken from
boxes In the safety vaults of the Omaha
National bank. The discovery was made
more than two weeks ago and every pre
caution has been taken by the bank olllclals
to keep the matter a close secret. Chief of
Police Seavoy and one of h.s detectives have
been working Industriously upon the caio
and J. II. Mlllard , president of the Omaha
National hank , has given the larger share
of his time since the discovery to an effort
to unravel the mystery sunoundlng the case.
Ho has even rnado a trip to Chicago for the
purpose of making a special Investigation
Into the workings of the safety deposit sys
tems In that c ty , to discover , If possible ,
whether any Important precautionary mea
sures hail been nrgUcted In the Omaha vault
sy.tem.
WHO TUB I..OSKHS ARE.
The principal loser In the case Is William
Glndtsli , thu dtugKlst at Twelfth and Dodge
utricle. Sir. ( Jladlsh has been the lensee
of a box In the vaults of the Omaha National
for a number of years. Last March he
placed In Ma box the bum of $2,700 In gold.
On October 5 he discovered that about ? lf > 00
ot the amount was mining. He at unco
notified Mr Mlilurd. anil the Investigation
commenced. Mr. Mlllard called In Chief of
Police Seavey , and a detective has had charge
of the case ever since. So far , however , all
efforts to discover the manner In which the
money was lost have failed , and the bank au
thorities , us well as the police , arc as much
In the dark as ever.
Another party who claims to ha\o lost
money from 'hoault Is IJIanche Wilson ,
proprietress of a resort on Ninth strent.
Jllss Wilson claims that three $100 bills
have been abstracted from her box and that
Ktio has no means of knowing how the
money was lost. She discovered her loss
over a year ago , but for some reason has
taken no action In the matte ; until recently.
She has now engaged an attorney and made
nfllilavlt to the particulars.
Very naturally the discovery ot the losses
has overwhelmed the Omaha National olllcluls
with perplexity They pHce every reliance
upon the parties who have any connection
with the management of the vaults and are
thoroughly In the dark as to ho\v the losses
could have occurred.
President Mlllard stated to a Bee reporter
yesterday that the report of the losses
came to htm as one of the grcalst surprises
of hh life. The vaults are under the manage
ment of lira , Mary McAusland , n very estlma-
l > lo lady who la In every way fitted for the
responsible position she occupies. No shadow ,
of suspicion exists that the losses have oc
curred through her knowledge or connivance
In fact , It would be absolutely Impossible * for
any qne , not entitled to open a box In the
vaults , to do so without her assistance.
WOMAN POSSIBLY SUSPKCTI3D.
'Mr. Oladlsh was'iccn last night , but he
refused to say anything pgsltlvely. From
his conversation , however. It could be Inferred
that ho lost more than was supposed at first.
lie spoke of ? 1GOO or $1,800 ns the amount
of his loss. Ho also stated that the sus
pected party was out of town , or hidden at
the present time. Who was suspected he
refused to say , but In the conversation he
remarked "that a < woman was harder to
entch than a man. " The police are equally
silent about tin- matter ,
Mrs. McAusland said that she was In
charge of the vaults most of the time , and
who.n she was absent , some trusted employe
of the bank was delegated to attend to them.
No one could enter the vaults without her
knowledge , and she said that as far as she
knew no one had opened Mr. CUdish's box
except his wife. In regard to Miss Wilson's
lt > 3S , Mrs. McAusland was Inclined to think
that It was a mistake. Other questions Mrs.
McAusland politely refused to answer.
Dl&nchc Wilson said that she lost $300
tbout a year ago , She had lost her box key ,
but she said that no one but herself had ever
entered her box with her knowledge and con
sent. She had not sued the bank for the
money , because her friends had advised her
not to do BO , for the reason that she could
not prove that she had the money In the box.
She also said that at the time she had mlsseil
the money $900 remained , she having hai !
$1,200 In the box.
Mr. Gladlsh said that he would begin a sull
against the ban ) : for the recovery of the lost
amount ,
HOW THE VAULTS ABB PUOTECTni ) .
The safety vaults arc constructed In the
basement of th Omaha National bank buildIng -
Ing , near the corner of Thirteenth and Doug
las streets. They nro modeled after the
best systems In the > country and the private
boxes are surrounded with every safeguan
that the Ingenuity of science can devise
The lessee of a private box Is first require !
to write his signature In a book and also
upon a card , together with his residence
etc. He Is then given a private pass won
and no two Individuals have the name past ,
word. Kach box renter is ahi
supplied with two keys to
his box. When lie desires , to gain access to
the box ho has rented ho is first require !
to pass through the heavy steel gates b :
giving his pass word , If It Is required of him
In the event thut ho Is not recognized. Hut
oven utter he passes through the steel gates
to the Interior of the vaults ho cannot opei
lila box without the assistance of the maim
ger. The Individual boxes , of vihlch there
arc several hundred , are Inside a burglar
proof vault constructed of the best hardenei
steel and supplied with double time locks
Each private box has a ttroiiK
lock , which cannot be opened with
out the use of two different keyy
The manager of the safety vaults has one
key , of which no duplicates exist. Slit
places , her key In the lock mul then th.
owner of the box can throw back the bol
of the lock by using the Key furnished bin
when he rents the box. When ready to
leave he cannot lock thn box without the
use of both Ufjs , neither can ho remove hi
own key without leaving the box open
This fact precludes the possibility of any
renter leaving his box open , for he canno
remove his key without locking the box.
Of course , It may bo suggested , that a
person not entitled to open any given box
may secure possession of the keys surrep
tltlously. Hut the possession of the key
"alone will not enable a stranger to open i
box. He must upon present.ng himself a
the safety vault present at the name time a
written order signed by the owner of the box
and he must also give the private pass word
These facts only servo to Increase th
mystery surrounding the los.es that hav
b n recently reported. President Mlllan
has made a trip to Chicago slnco the lossc
were reported and has carefull
examined the operation of the larg
safety deposit vault Byitcms In tha
cty. | He wished to satisfy himself that th
Omaha National hud omitted no precaution
nry measure for the protection of Its vaults
He Is perfectly satlstled that his pjuteni I
OS perfect as any In the country.
The Omaha National guarantees the Eatel
of Its vaults and U therefore very much ex
ercised over the developments.

MILWAUKEE , Oct. 2C. A special to the
Wisconsin from Iron Mountain , Mich. , bays :
The f.ite of the eleven entombed miners In
the Pewablc mine will not bo known for
some hours yet , probably not before night.
An Immense mass of rock , Iron ore and
broken timbers twenty feet In length Is to be
cleared uway. Superintendent 13 row n Is con
fident that all but three will bo taken out
alive and he has hopes for all. The accident
was w Jsed by the sandstone capping on the
third level of shaft No. 1 giving away.
The- awful accident has shrouded this com
munity In gloom. Following Is a list of ths
entombed men :
THOMAS PKNGLASE.
WILLIAM OLIVER.
SAMUEL HUSBAND.
GEORGE W1LCOX.
STEPHEN ALLEN.
WILLIAM HAIRD
GEORGE PORNEV.
GEORGE THOMAS.
GEORGE RICKARD.
PETER HE1LBY.
JOHN HALBERG.
Peter Hascae , the pit boss , In charge of the
men at thn time of the accident , and the
only one known to have escaped uninjured ,
states that the accident was caused by run
ning water eating away the sandstone cap
ping In a room 100 feet in height on the
third le\cl. This Immense mass of rock ,
weighing hundreds ot tons , crushed down
through the floor of the level carrying away
timbers and everything to the fourth level ,
on which the men were working. Ho beard
the thundering crash of rock and broken
timbers and by fast running made his escape.
Peter Gabardl , a trammer at work directly
umkr the fall ng rock , was caught and
crushed to death. Ills body has been re
covered.
To "rut a road through this wreckage to the
room in which the men are entombed Is a
work of difficulty which few but experienced
miners can understand or appreciate The
work cannot bo done hastily , for the walls
have to be heavily timbered ns the work pro
ceeds In order to avoid another fall of ground.
Although hard and persistent work has been
done since the disaster occurred by as many
eager men as could be worked to advantage ,
only the seemingly short distance of fifteen
feet has been cut through the conglomeration
of Iron , ore , sandstone and broken timber In
fourteen hours , and fifteen feet has yet to be
out , which will take until evening. An ominous
nous feature , and one that convinces many
miners that the men will lie found dead Is
that , although only fifteen feet away , not
the faintest sound has been heard that w < ftd
Indicate they were alive. Miners say that If
the men were olive this tact would have
been made known from their prison. It Is
the general Impression that they have been
suffocated by gunpowder gas. Superintend
ent Brown , who heads the rescue party , nnd
who has remained at his post since the hour
ot the disaster , says there Is on abundance
of good air in the room , and fs very confi
dent that eight of the Imprisoned miners will
bo found unharmed. Three , he thinks , may
have been caught under the mass and crushed
to death.
This Is the worst accident of the hind that
ever occurred on this range , the only approach
preach to It being the caving In of a ihaft at
the Kelrldge mine some twelve years ago.
when nine men were buried alive and their
lernalns never recovered.
DETROIT , Oct. 28. A special to the News
from Iron Mountain , MIchT , says : The fact
lias Just been established that at least a num
ber of the men In the mine are stIU alive.
The fact was ascertained by signaling with
hammers. It is now confidently expected
that the room In which the men are confined
will be reached by 6 o'clock.
IRON MOUNTAIN , Mich , Oct. 2C. The
only facts known at this hour , 11 t > . 'nf. , is
that a number of the men Imprisoned at the
Pewablc mines arcs alive. Who and bow-
many v.111 not bo known until morning , The
men are well supplied with air. Superin
tendent llrown is certain that at least eight
of the men have escaped uninjured , but fears
three may have been caught under the falling
mass of timbers and rocks and crushed to
death. .
