NUMBER 52
Safe Crackers Foiled.
An unsuccessful attempt was
made Wednesday morning to crack
the sate at the (). R. & N. depot,
but the burglars were frightened
aw.iy before their efforts to blow
open the strong box had been suc
cessful.
About four o'clock in the morn
ing, guests at the Hotel Alton, just
opposite the depot, were awakened
by an explosion, and looking out
of the hotel window, saw the burg
lars at work, one being on watch
outside, while two were conducting
operations within the depot office.
Being unable to phone to the
nightwatchman, the parties at the
hotel called to the burglars, fright
ening them and they lost no time
in getting out of sight. They had
entered the depot by prying the of
fice door open and had then gone
to work on the safe with tools stol
en from the rock quarry near by.
Two charges of dynamite were ex
ploded against the safe door, but
the only damage was to the knob
and combination, the door remain
ing intact.
While suspicion pointed to three
parties who had been hanging
around town for a number of days,
no convicting evidence was obtain
able and uo arrests were made.
Russian Thistles Near Colton.
On Thursday, when repairing
culverts between Johnson and Col
ton, I took a by-way through the
farms ot A. M. Bibins and others,
and on coming to the summer fal
low of N. K. Hiiigins I saw a pecu
liar looking weed. On examination
the weed proved to be Russian
thistle. There is quite an amount
of it in this field, showing that it is
not the first year in that neighbor
hood.
It resembles tumble weed to some
extent, but differs in color, and the
stems have stripes running length
wise of a pinkish and red color. A
specimen has been left at the post
office in Pullman. I will also try
to have specimens on exhibition at
Johnson, Colton and Union town.
It will be well for all farmers to
see the specimens, if they are not
acquainted with it, and watch dili
gently and eradicate the pest if
possible. Now is the time before
the seed is ripe enough to scatter.
J. M. Rkid,
Superintendent No. 2.

Canada, but Russian thistle.
