truet for the work of t;:ivu. in tut
district, have placed in the curbs

the first paving that will give the
west portion of the city what has
long been needed, a permanent road
way that can be traveled In wet
weather as safely as in dry.
This sect'on of the city in the
winter and spring mouths has been
up against it. as the roads there
have been practically impassible and
with the laying of the pavement
Wi st to 10th street it will give them
a real street and one that they can
use at all seasons of the year, re
gardless of weather conditions. Tiie
residents of that portion of the city
have long been neglected and it Is a

.sheriff Ryder and Chief of Police
Cook were early on tiie scene yester
day and later conferred witli Mr.
Coble. It is the unanimous opinion
of the officers that the robbery was
committed by professional "yeggs,"
familiar with the postofficc premises,
habits of employes and the move
ments of night policemen. The gang
was large enough, it is believed, to
permit a "watcher" to report on the
movements of policemen on duty
Tuesday night.
Late yesterday new evidence was
obtained, including the names of at
hast two persons who were in the
Packard and a check-up indicates
that these men have unsavory char
acters. Officers in surrounding towns have
been notified of the theft, including
those in nearby large cities where
the loot would be likely to be offer
ed. It is the first time in the history
of the Nebraska City postoifice that
a robbery hafl been attempted. Post
master Bartling said yesterday.
Postoifice attaches admit that the
looting of the building early yester
day was a complete and thorough
job. There were hardly enough
stamps on hand when the window
opened to enable clerks to handle
the day's business. A fresh supply
was ordered rushed from Omaha.

I From Friday's Dally
Last night ere A. S. Ghrist, owner
of tho Christ furniture store on
South Sixth street, retired for the
night he visited the store to see that
all was well, and thereby had sev
eral minutes of excitement.
Mr. Ghrist came in at the front
entrance of the building and had
proceeded to the back of the store
room when he heard certain myste-1
rious noises on the roof of the build
ing that were not unlike the foot-
stops of prowlers and at once visions
of burglers atfd robbers flashed into
1::; mind. One of the rear windows,
leading to the upper fioor of the
building was found opon and as this
led to the rug and curpet depart-.
ment it gave some strength to the!
b.::--Ier theory.
Toe wwnss ot the wvc secured Che ,
services of Officer Clyde Jackson and
they then explored tho roof vherel
tho mysterious sounds had cornel
from but without locating any clues i
or signs that there had been prow- i
lers on the roof of the building. The j
only object found that gave any light
on the mysterious noises was a small
board that had evidently blown on
to the roof and doubtless caused the
noise that was heard.
The incident caused a great deal
of excitement for the owner of the
tore for some time as well as the
police and a watch was kept in the ;
''icin'ty of the store for the rest of J
the night but no one showed up or i
gave any indication of unlawful in-
tentions toward tho furniture estab
