New Burglar Alarm In
L Bank Proves Its Value
The sounding of the new burglar
el arm recently Installed In tho Citi
zens Bank aroused the people in the
east side at about 1 1 o'clock Tues
day night, just as they were sinking open air concert this, Friday, eve
in their first beauty slebp. The sound ninK In tlle Da,v. at whCh the follow-
of the big gong Jangling out on the
night air brought out a large num
ber of residents In thr.J vicinity,
while visions of a rifculatlon hank
robbery with Its attendant excite
ment floated thru the brains of those
who were first on the scene."
Assistant Cashier F, 8. Engle was
oris of the first to reach the bank,
and entered the front door, only to
i
find everything In order from first Carl Loveland, former leader of the
indications, and It was thought that 'organization, who will occupy a place
something had gone wrong with the ' wltn tno clarlonettes, and other crack
mechanism of the burglar alarm, musicians. These players will be
A more thoro search tire next i Wtn the band all thru the celebra
mornlng, however, revealed a clue ion and will be the leading aggre
that led the bank officials to be cer-'gation of musicians during the three
tain that the bank had been entered
by some one at that hour and that
the vault door had been tampered
with. On closing the vault the com
bination has to lie set with absolute
accuracy, and upon close investiga
tion it was seen that one of the
knobs had been moved slightly.
Further ' investigation by Chief
of I'once iiatcner touna mat one o,by
the back windows to the bank was
unlocked. Close to this window
stands the hot water tank, and in
front of this tank a type writer box
had been drawn, while marks of
greasy dingers were seen on the tank.
Dust had accumulated on the top of
the tank, and in this was plainly
dlscernable a footprint, and also a
dusty footprint on the Window sill.
It is thought that tha trespasser
had gained entrance to the bank by
this means, and had secured an
easy exit In case of a surprise. That
the surprise came to him when he
moved the knob on the vault door
was evident, as it set oft the burjlar
alarm and made noise enough to
rouse tli whole city.
Another olue that led the police to
think Intruders had been about the
bank was the fact that the little dog
belonging to Mrs. Wlneland, who
livse in apartments In the bank
building, was aroused at about 11
o'clock, and set up a terrific barking
at the window in the apartment over
that which was later found unlock
ed. It was while the little animal
was so agitated lhat the burglar
alarm sounlded.
Th bank officials are confident
that the work was that of an ama
teur, who had dropped in and hap
pened to choose this bank out of the
three In the city on which to attempt
a roH)bery. as no professional would
have attempted such a Job with the
prominent notices of the burglar
Tuvmf alarm staring them In the
faces from nil the bank windows,
TNey congratulate themslvtee on
the fact that the new alarm proved
so efficacious on its first trial.

Five new ticket offices are being
installed to accommodate the crowds
at the roundup, O. T. Borgnor will
have charge ot this business, and is
gathering ticket sellers who have ex
perience with this work to look after
each window.
Another new feature Is being ar
ranged at the roundup grounds that
will be ot Inestimable advantage to
the patrons. This Is the establish
ment of a regular Jitney gate about
100 yards farther down from the
main entrance. On former occas
ions traffic has been greatly con
gested on account, of only one en
trance for private cars and Jitneys.
The latter takes much longer to dis
gorge their loads, on account of pay
ing fares and making change, while
family autoes can unload in much
less time. The use of this Jitney en
trance will be strictly enforced, and
will greatly facilitate matters during
the crush at the roundup shows.
