CRACKED THE SAFE-
BOLD IlOllllKltV (W THE TOM
OFI'ICE. The 1'aperK and Cali-box Found, But
Money and 3Nen Still Mi-dnir.
X Slick Job.
The discovery early Monday morning
of the fact that the ostollice safe had
been robbed -aused a gcd deal of ex
citement amoug the Ksiple of Harrison.
Attention was lir-.t attracted by the
broken windows in the front ot Mir
steller Brothers store, in which the jhjsI
ofliee is locatet. Investigation as to tlie
cause soon led to the discovery that the
safe had lieen forced ojs-n and the cash
Ikix and contt nt -i c arried off. The mon
ey drawer at the stamp window bad also
b-en relieved of its cash contents as well
as the ca.h drawer of the h'.hv,
The robbers had first vi-itcd the black
smith shop of W. O. r.ilt.Mson and
drew a staple from the door an! helped
themselves to tools. The front door of
the store was forced 0en by the use of
a large chisel and a rasp. The perpe
trators evidently understood their busi
ness and did riot propose to be given
away by a lire so they went to the tin
shop at the rear of thu store where they
procured a large sprinkler which they
filled with water, a jiortion of which was
used to wet the floor in front of the safe.
A hide was drilled thr nigh tlie top of
the safe just far enough back to come
inside of the inside door another evi
dence that it was done by men w ho un
derstood the business and a charge of
sullicieiit strength to blow both doors
oir the safe inserted. When it exploded
most of the glass the window was shat
tered. The crashing glass awoke I.ew is
(K'rlac h who was sleeping in his store
and he got up and looked out toward the
postollice, but all was still again and
he returned to bed, others heard the re
port of the explosion, but as it occurred
between two and three o'clock it did not
thoroughly awake any of them except
Mrs. T. O. Williams who thought there
was a fire and aroused Mr. Williams,
but after looking out and seeing no sign
of lire they were soon sound asleep,
The cash box of the safe contained
alxmt $110 in cash, a check for tf22, vil
lage warrant to the amount of fl) and
a lot of vouchers, receipts, etc., no use
them, and a gold ring. From the draw
er they got aUmt a dollar in pennies and
from the store till in cash. There
was also a registered letter taken from
the safe but the supply of postage
stamps representing epiite sum were not
disturbed. e
Yesterday morning the cash box from
the safe Was found in W. li. Wright's
garden along the snow fence east of the
section house, and all that had been
taken except the cash and ring. The
letter that was registered was also found
anil it suileu thai if ) was sent in it so
that tlie robbers got 1 1U and the gold
ring for their night's work.
So far no clue has been obtained as to
the perpetrators of tlie deed. On Sun
day a man got his dinner at Sheriff
IJew's, there being no ou at home hut
his mother-in-law and the children and
in payment left a new silk handkerchief
which had never been unfolded and some
one entered H. J. Hiuiley's house some
time before midnight Sunday night and
look about all there was that was good
to eat and also a gun, but what con
nection, if they have any, with the rob
bery is not known.
Postmaster Marsteller, Sheriff Ilew
and every one else are doing all in their
power to run down the robbers An
other indication that, the j ' was done
by professional safe crackers is the fac t
that all the tools used on the job were
found except tlie chill, and us no drills
were taken from tlie blacksmith shop, it
is ipiite likely that they had a special
kind.
The ptst few days seem to have
been very hard on mowing machines.

lent instructors have been secured, and

can lie given.
Every effort to curtail expense to
teachers will lie made and the superin
tendent will endeavor to secure board
