STEAL SI2OO IN RINGS
IturelnrH Stent Trn.v of Its lllninonilH
from NonlVrrV Jcttflrj More.
Some time during Wednesday night
or early Thursday morning burglars
smashed the plate glass window of
Neuffer's jewelry store on Main street,
and stole a tray of 10 diamond rings,
valued at approximately $1,200. The
rings and the window were not insured.
It will cost $75 to replace the window.
When the burglary occurred or by
whom it was committed is unknown.
While he discovered the broken window
when he opened the store Thursday
morning, Mr. Neuffer did not discover
his loss until noon. It has been his
custom for years to place all jewelry
trays in a safe every night before clos
ing the store and Mr Neuffer was so
confident he had done so Wednesday
night that he and his clerks were con
gratulating themselves earlier Thurs
day morning with the belief that the
robbers had been scared away after
breaking the window and before steal
ing anything.
When Mr. Neuffer went to the safe
about noon Thursday, however, to get
some Jewelry for display he found
those rings were missing. They had
been on display in the window Wed
nesday. Three of them are cluster
rings, the others being single stones of
high quality.
APPROVES BONO ISSUE
Governor Signs Bill Authorising 94,000,-
000 Lien for Capitol Buildings.
The *54,000,000 bond issue against
the capitol land grant tor the com
pletion of the Temple of Justice and
the construction of other capitol build
ings in Olympia was approved by Gov
ernor Ernest Lister this week. The
signing of the bill was a source of
great satisfaction to Olympians and
much praise was bestowed upon Sen
ator P. H. Carlyon for his effective
work.
Under the provisions of the bond
issue $551,750 is made available im
mediately and it is probable the work
of completing the Temple of Justice
in accordance with the architects's
plans will be begun shortly. The con
struction of the new administration
building, utilizing the old uncom
pleted foundation, lies in the discre
tion of the new capitol building com
mission to be appointed by Governor
Lister. This building is scheduled to
be the next erected. •
The pen with which Governor Lister
signed the bond issue measure is now
in the possession of Senator P. H.
Carlyon and is highly prized.
Now that the legislature is over we
are anticipating the advent of not a
few Democrats imbued with the no
tion of saving the state —after their
own fashion. Our only hope is that
they succeed. Mercy on us if they
don't!
