EXPERT YEGGMEN BLOW OP SAFE
IN HEILIG LHEfllfiE AHD
Portland, Dec. 26.—The safe at the Heilig theatre, the fin
est theatre in Portland, wao blown open by yeggmen last night
who secured S2100. So expert was the manipulation of the
nitro-glycerine by the robbers that the manager of the theatre,
who slept in a room above the office ,was not disturbed, and did
not know of the robbery until he opened the office today. Win
dows within six feet of the safe, were not broken.
The robbers entered the theatre through a window, and the
dtectives are of the opinion 1' At the men are experts from the
east, but they left no clue.
The money stolen represents the receipts incident to several
performances since Saturday noon, when the banks closed, and
the loss will fall about equally on the theatrical troupe and the
management of the theatre.
St. Louis, Dec. 26.—Oscar Chitwood, charged with having
led Sheriff Jake Houpton at Hot Springs, Ark., last August,
is taken from the county jail at Hot Springs early today and
ot to death. Three masked men did the shooting .while about
teen other masked men looked on.
Chitwood was being taken from the county jail to the police
' ition, preparatory to being transferred to Benton, Ark., today,
r trial, when the mob appeared . He was in charge of a single
puty ,and had just left the jail door when the deputy was or-
red to throw up his hands. He did so, and almost immediate-
three shots rang out and Chitwood fell dead. The authorities
11 investigate to ascertain how it became known to the mob
'it Chitwood was to be removed from jail this morning.
