Tho safo stands in tho main room of tho establishment and is easily accessible. It is tho custom of Chris Keegnn who opens up in the morning, to 1111 lock tho safe, so that if any extra uluuige is necessary it can bo readily reached. Yesterday morning he uu locked tho safe, but did not open the door. In tho afternoon his partner, Harry Luy, cauio in and opened the safe. lie found almost at once tlm the purso in which their change in gold was kept had vanished. How and when tho purse disappeared in still n mystery. Evidently while ICeegnn was working nbout tho rear part of. tho saloon during the morn ing the thief had quietly slipped in swung back the door of tho safe, took the purse containing tho gold and made his way out as quietly as ho had como in. That tho robhor knew what ho was after and just how to get it was ovident, as he could not havo had moro than a few min utes to turn tho trick. Tho loss is between $75 and $100 Some months ago tho City drug store in Jacksonville vras entered and the "chango sack," concealed in its usual place, was taken. Tho Luy & Keegan robbery looks liko the work of tho sanie artist. WANT PAVEMENT " BEFORE TREES Ladles ot Greater Medford Club Hit Snag in Their Program for Beautl fication of Streets of the City.
