Crauts Pass waa treated to some

ing, when it was noised abroad that
the safe of Kinney & Troax had been
broken into the night before and
rifled of something like 1200 in cash
and some small checks. Investigation
confirmed the reports, showing tlial

which to cart the small safe oat to
the sidewalkand also taking a buggy
from the barn of Lee Calvert's place

waa conveyed to Jne of the vacant
lots in Sherman's addition and an ax
belonging to H. Horning was pur
loined and with this the door of the
cash box was .smashed in and its oon
tents obtained. "
The theft, while 'rather smooth,
was not a very difficult one to niakeT
but just how the party gained an en
trance into the; store remains a mys
tery. After getting .in it would be an
easy matter to get out, as the lock is
one of the slip-latch variety; The
padlock on the vault door was twisted

' Jim" .MoCumber, a crook' who is
becoming rather notorious in thiVneck
of the woods is just now endeavoring
to elude Sheriff Russell's vigilant eye
and thus far he has succeeded ad
mirably. Sunday afternoon, while everyone
around tbe courthouse was enjoying
the quiet of the .day, "Jim" got in
hia work and by the use oi a knife,
which he had .made .into a saw blade,
he proceeded to out one of the .iron
bars and he aawed the obstacle,
which measures about three-quarters
of aa inch through, with much ease.
Other prisoners, in cells aoroaathe
corridors, heard and even saw what
was going on and Tfter the "bird"
bad flown, they raised the alarm,
which was beard on the outside and
Sheriff Russell was at once oommuni-
cated with.
MuCumber is an old offender of
the law aud had only been out of the
county jail on another bad charge,
wiieu ne proceeded to "touch a
party at Leland for $10, as he was
assisting in putting said party to
bed, the individual .being somewhat
under the influence of liquor. "Jim"
was oaoa-ht red-handed aud was
brought to the county bastile, where
he was awaiting the pleasure of the
oirouit court. Which convenes on the
23d in.t.
Sheriff Russell has been scouring
the country for miles around in quest
of the fugitive and he has seut a de
scription to the various officials, all
up aud dowu the railroad. MoCumber
waa seen near Leland, since makinu
his escape, but thus far he has not
been uppreheuded.
Ho .is described as being 25 years
old. five leet, nine inches tall, dark
hair, blue eyes, very fair complexion
aud weighing 171) pounds. He has
very fine teeth, aome acars on hia left
cheek and when lust seen, wore a
dark, small checked suit, black, nar-row-briuitued
hat and shoes that
were nearly new. Any information
regarding big whereabouts should be
at once forwarded to Sheriff Rn. u
If it waa not for the rather unentl.
manly manner in which "Jim" took
his departure, the oounty officials
would probably not overly ex?rt them.
selves to bring him back to meet hia
just deserts. Bat it would be a
rather bad precedent to establish to
permit uie affair to jro onnoticid.
even if it would be ridding the county j
" cnaracter aud save the tax
payers some expense. But it might
put some bad notioua into the he.t
of other criminala and ao "Jim"
ought to be .made an example of and
ii ne is caught, he most
will be seut over the road.
