The aafe In the office of the Council
Bluffs Grape Growers' and Shippers' as
sociation was blown by burglars about 1
o'clock yesterday afternoon and badly dam
aged, buunol opened, and the burglars got
nothing. The burglars, although seen be
fore and after their work, got away, but
would undoubtedly have been captured it
the police department had been equipped
with a good automobile. The office is In
the east end of the warehouse and ship
ping station at Eleventh avenue and South
Seventh street.
Manager George W. Reye of the asso
ciation was In the office for an hour
during the middle of tho day, and left It
at 12:30. At 1:10, Just forty minutes later,
people across the street and in the Imme
diate vicinity, heard a muffled explosion,
and several boys, looking through the street
windows of the office, saw two men mov
ing about with white hanoKerchlcfa over
their faces. The police department was no
tified, but when the officers arrived a
few minutes later, the men had fled.
Entrance to- the building was effected by
breaking out a small window on the east
end of the office. The combination of the
safe had been broken off with a hammer,
the lock punched in and the explosive in
troduced there. The top of one of the
hinges was broken and an attempt made
o get the powder inside the safe at that
point. The edges of tha door were cov
ered with soap all the way around. A
bundle of family laundry, which Mr. Ree
had left In the office, had been wet and
spread over the safe to deaden the sound.
The explosion failed to dislodge the door,
but 'Jammed It so badly that an expert
will be required to open it. The uafe con
tained no money and there was no.ie about
the office, although desks and- drawers
locked were broken open in the search.
The explosion was very weak and did not
damage the office furnishings. -
A bit of homemade cloth fuse, part of a
bar of soap a-nd some wrapping paper fur
nish all of the cluea left by the yeggmen.
Chief of Police Froom assisted tha . de
tectives in making tha examination. Good
descriptions of tha men have been secured.
Both were young men.
When Manager Reye left the office his
attention was attracted to two young men
who seemed so much interested In his
office that he was on the point of going
back and asking them if they were look
ing for him. The description he gives of
thtm corresponds with the description of
the men seen Inside by the boys and of two
young men who were seen hurriedly to
leave tha building from the south side a
few minutes after the explosion.
Apparently common black powder was
Used and the men were not experts. They
were not local thieves, or they, would have
known that no money la ever kept about
tha place, aa all of tha financial trans
actions re by checks and vouchers. No
cash is either paid out or received there.
and Manager Reye does not remember ever
having more than $35 there,, at one time,
unless It 'was in the pockets of the men
dojnjf ..business.,;
nothing of value In the way of coin In
either nf the safes.
When the watchman went his rounds at
1 o'clock In the morning he found every
thing all right. Coming back between S
and S o'clock, he discovered the combina
tions had been broken off and that an ef
fort had been made to blow up the safes.
He reported his discovery to the police
station and an inspection was made by
Captain Dunn, who wss accompanied by
Detectives Dunn and Murphy. Traces of
soap were found on the safes, showing
that some explosive substance had been
used. A horse blanket had been used to
deaden tho sound and this had apparently
taken flro, as It was lying on the floor
soaked with water. A hatchet was also
found In the place and some such Instru
ment had evidently been handled for the
cutting off of the combinations and the
knobs on the door of the". vault where the
papers and books Of the firm were placed
for safety.
Frank Charles and John Kern, who gave
their addresses as Cleveland and Chicago
and who were arrested yesterday by Offi
cer Hudson with, it 'is said, a chisel and a
hatchet In their possession, .are held on
suspicion In connection with the case.

D. C. McCurtairi, a Choctaw Indian and
an .attorney ror his Vlb went on tiro

Murray In 1908 In Ihe lobby of. the Raleigh
hotel if Washington . had '.'offered i j
$25,000 aa a bribe to withdraw the t . 1
opposition to old 1 conrraets which' ere
disapproved by President Rooseve . He
declared he once had been enip ed by
McMurray while he was a '..agate to
Washington for his tribe, but. at asserted
the work for McMurray was In behalf of
and .with the consent ' of the Indians
When the bribe was offered, he was not

granted McMurray , in the oltisenshlp

As Indicated by Green McCurtaln, chief
of 18.000 Choctaws, the. IndUns have taken
the position that they signed a contract be
cause they had beoonie discouraged with

Type of Gas
Range "
We particularly recommend thia
range on account of its convenient fea
tures and the satisfaction insured by its
use. It has a large baking oven, a broil
ing oven and a warming closet, all heated
by the same burners, and all elevated from
the foor, so yim do not have to stoop to '
reach them a roomy burner top and a
large plate shelf. It stands clear of the.
floor, so that you may clean and Bweep
beneath it.
It is" much larger than the double oven range, but it does not use the slightest
bit more gas, in fact, with the same gas consumption you secure the added feature
of a warming closet, something the smaller range has not. ;
