WATSON AMI HIS Wl DOW ROBBERS ENTER EUGENE DRUGSTORE BY SKYLIGHT AND BURGLARIZE SAFE , W. L. DeLnno's drug store was en tered some time lust night, the safe bored Into and something like $200 In cash, besides a number of valua ble papers stolen. The robbery was first discovered about 7 o'clock this morning by the i clerks, John Buster and John Cart- ! mell. As they entered the store and went Into the rear room they noticed that the back door was ajar. Know- : ing that the door Is nlways kept lock ed and bolted during tho night and being certain that It was left thac way Sunday, evening, then at once knew tl at something wns wrong and began to make an Investigation. They Inmedialely discovered that the I safe had been tampered with. The riooi'B of the safe were closed, but two half-Inch round holes were found ' In the outer door and stcM borings TRYING TO BUY SENATORSHIP IN BADGER STATE Milwaukee. Wis., May 13. An Evening Wisconsin special dispatch from Madison, Wis., says politicians about the state are somewhat exer cised over the rumor that money is being U3cd to Influence tho election of a United States senator. Two members of the assembly, It Is said, have confessed that they have been I j JAMES O. DAVIDSON. Governor of Wisconsin, who has senatorial aspiration and who was a poor immigrant thirty-fivu years ago. approached, hi. en. or believed they had were found on the floor directly be neath them. Robbers had been there and boring into the lock through the first steel sheeting of the door had tapped the levers which control the bolts of the lock and. worked the combination. The outer doors of the safe being open it was an easy matter to then secure the contents. The Inside door is never locked and the cash drawers and the drnwers containing papers and documents are secured by only flimsy locks and were easily pried out. The cash box wns carried away, but the two other drawers were left beneath tho safe after the robber or robbers had ransacked them and found nothing of valito taken. Kutercd Through Skylight. The safe cracker entered the build ing by letting himself down through the skylight with a rope. Ho evident ly reached the roof by climbing a ladder telephone polo In tho rear of the building, or by a ladder which stood against the wall of the build ing. Iln romoved one of the panes of glass from the skylight, making a hole plenty largo to admit him, and tied a half inch rope to a round stick of wo:id about four feet long nnd two Inches In diameter. The skylight is directly over the prescription case, nnd as the man let himself down by the rope he knocked a bottle off a shelf and broke It, spilling the con tents on the floor. This seemed the only bunglesome thing tho fellow did, everything else Indicating that he was nn expert in the safe cracking busi ness. In searching for oil to nsslst him in boring through tho tough steel door of the safe ho found a bot tle of liquid sheep dip which one of the clerks hnd mixed up during tho previous day or the day before. It had the color of oil and tho robber thought It wns such, as ho used It In his operations. As there Is no oil whatever In the stuff It proved or lit tle value to him, but In the durkness he probably did not know tho differ ence unless the smell of tho dip put him "wise." Was n Professional. The location of tho holes In tho rii fn door and everything else con nected with the robbery Indicates that the miscreant Is no novice nt tho work, hut that he Is n professional, nnd knows all about the mechanism of a safe. The holes aro directly above the bolts which control the combination, and In each Instance the hole tapped the bolts. The fellow left absolutely no cluo to his Identity, being careful to leave nothing behind him which would give tho officers a tin ns tn where ti Btart In to look for him. The entire Job wns of tho kind that baffles the officers entirely, and shows that the robber wkh an old hand at the busi ness. Hi-tween HI 715 and 200. W. L. DeLnno, proprietor of the store, when asked by a reporter this morning as to the extent of his loss, replied that he did not know exactly, but he thought It was In the neigh borhood of $200, though it may not have been more than $175.
