Unscrupulous Young Men In Norfolk/ Who Have Tampered With the Or dinance and Lights Will be Arrest ed Before Very Many Days. There In trouble brewing for a few young men in Norfolk who Imvo inutlo the gas motor work overtime nnd who < lliln't motor In the collar cither. In all probability the middle of next week will land several well known youths behind the bars of the city Jail for tampering with the city or dinance nnd at the same tlmo the gas lamps on the street corners. While the lights arc supposed , ac cording to contract , to be turned on at certain times of the dark nights , there is no provision which says the company shall furnish nil out of doors with its gaseous product during the sunlit hours of the day. Tills is what some of the unscrupulous of the city seem to think , however , and llnding the valves closed tightly In the day time have taken it upon themselves to secure the supply. Half Dozen Cases. A half dozen or more cases have been located where the street lights were turned loose during the day and would run gas for hours into the open air. It may bo fun for the guilty fel lows but it is mighty expensive for the gas company and they purpose stopping the game. Detective Is Employed. A detective has been employed to ( do nothing but keep his eye out and he is just now busily engaged in col lecting evidence through which there may bo no loop hole for escape when the defendants are brought before the court. The line for this business is a heavy ono and every means will be employed to give the limit of the law to the guilty ones.

DON'T ' LOCK GOOD SAFE , Some Business Men Would Rather Give Free Access Than to Have It "Blown. " "To open safe , simply turn the lo\er and pull toward you. " The above sentence is written on a tag which hangs to the knob of the safe In the furnliiro store of Dador & Rogers. The f > nfu Is never locked for the reason that It Is a valuable ono. "It never pays to lock a valuable safe , say many business men , because the safe is not to bo had that is burglar proof. It's better to let a burglar have free access to the small amount of money lie will generally find In a safe than to lot him use nltro-glycorino or dynamite to blow It into fragments , " Through a little Inquiry it was ascer tained that no less than half the busi ness men of the city who have nso for a safe keep It solely as a protec tion against loss of certain papers by lire. It Is seldom that largo amounts of money are kept In them. The care ful business man generally deposits most of his money just before clos ing tlmo of his bank. Consequently the value of the safe is generally more than the money that is kept In it at night. A burglar will not bother to carry off papers or documents which would be of no use to him for the reason that they would only servo to Identify and Incriminate him. Fre mont Herald.
