A BOLD SCHEME.
An Attempt Wm Made to Blow the
Safe of W-H. Newton & Co.
Safe blower* tried to gel in their
work in our city late Friday night,and
but for the fact tint they were fright
ened away, they would have made a
good haul. ~
The safe they attempted to blow be
longed to W. H. Newton & Co., and
an entrance to the office was effected
through a rear doer. Three boles
were drilled through the outer casing
of the safe door and dynamite was in
serted aud exploded, which filled the
safe with steel, cement and other de»
bris, but failed to break the lock.
• The robbers then made another aU
tempt to- reach the lock but their drill
struck a heavy steel plate and they
were forced to give up the job.
Officers Phelps and Ison Were on
duty at the time, and heard the report
made by the explosion. They thought
some one had fired a gun in the alley
in the rear of the Savings bank and
made a thorough search for the offen
der, but could find nothing wrong.
The attempted roobery was not dis
covered until yesterday morning when
Mr. Newton opened his office, „ and
found the floor and desks covered with
dust and plaster paris caused by the
explosion.
Mr. Newton says he was paid nearly
S3OO Friday, and the parties who com
mitted the deed were probably aware
of it and expected to find the money
in the safa when they succeeded in
forcing it open
It ie not known why the burglars
gave np the job when they were just
abeut to force the safe open, but it is
thought they were frightened off from
some cause.
The police are working en the
but have so far found no clue, and
probably never will.

gave me up, saying that I could live

single instance where it failed to give per

always make permanent customers. We
sell more of this article than all the other
Carminatives, soothing syrups and colic

A Child Enjoys
The pleasant flavor, gentle action, and
soothing effect of Syrup of Figs, when in
need of a laxative, and if the father or
mother be costive or bilious, the most
gratifying results follow its use; so that it

every family should have a bottle.

simplicity of the combination, but also
to the care and skill with which it is

true and original remedy. As the
genuine Syrup of Figs is manufactured
by the California Fig Syrup Co.

assist one in avoiding the worthless
imitations manufactured by other par

given to millions of families, makes
the name of the Company a guaranty
