There Is Not the Slightest Clue as to Who the Robbers Are Have Probably Made Good Escape. drawer but only found a small amount of change. Nothing Was Taken. It Is evident that the robbers visit ed Hiatt & Company's drug store on Xorth Main street but Mr. Hiatt was unable to discover that the thieves had taken any money or articles from the store. He knows that the store was entered because when he closed up Friday afternoon he locked the doors, as usual. This morning hs dis covered that the front door of the store had been opened. There is not the slightest clue as to who the robbers are. No one no ticed strangers in the town last night and no one heard a horse and phaeton drive into and out of town after mid night. This morning three suspicious characters were found in a cattle pen near the Bis Four tracks at the edge of town. They were questioned by the town marshall but It is not thought that they had anything to do with the raid. It seems to be the gen eral impression that the thieves have made good their escape and are now miles away from Lynn. NOT FOR CRUMPACKER SPLENDID JURY IS SECURED TO GRADE THE PRIZE PICTURES Won't Be Drawn Into Govern orship Race. Indianapolis, May 11. Congressman; Edgar Dean Crumpacker of the Tenth district refuses to be drawn Into the race for the rernibliean nomination for governor next year. He says that Three Well KnOWn Authorities not under any circumstances will he become a candidate. He will, howev er, ask for another term in congress. Many of Congressman " Crumpacker's friends have been booming him for I governor on the belief that he is one of the strongest men in the state. He is not allied with any faction and is undoubtedly a powerful factor in his own district. He is not, however rtadv to eive ud his dace in con gress.

HARRY GALLAGHER TO BE INFANTRYMAN Another Well Known Young Man Has Decided to Go In Uncle Sam's Service. SNAVELY WAS REJECTED. FOUND AT THE LAST THAT HE HAS A DEFECT OF VISION NEW RULE IN REGARD TO PURCHAS ING DISCHARGE. Robbers at an early hour this morn Jng ma-de a raid on Lynn, north of thi3 city, and after breaking into four etores and the postoffice, made their escape without any of the residents of the town being the wiser. Not un til about C o'clock was it discovered that the town had been visited by jobbers. Besides robbing the stores end the postoffice the thieves entered the barn- of Mrs. Mary Hinshaw, 3 miles north of Lynn, and stole a horse and phaeton. It is quite probable that the thieves came to Richmond after snaking their operations in Lynn, for shout 7 o'clock this morning Charles "Worley, a farmer living on the Chest er .pike, about. three, miles north, of Jtichmond, found Mrs. HInshaw's horse wandering about the College Hill school' yard. The horse was in a pitiful condition as a result of hard driving. The phaeton was found standing at the side of the road. It is thought that the theives. there' probably not being more than two of tljera, walked, to Richmond and left town either by railroad or traction car. ' The Safe Was Blown. At the general store of G. F. Cheno weth the thieves blew a safe but no one heard the explosion. There is the greatest excitement prevailing in Lynn today and the business men of the little town held a meeting thi3 morning and raised quite a subscrip tion for the purpose of running the thieves down. Bloodhounds have "been sent for and they will probably be put to work this afternoon. After stealing the horse and phae ton from Mrs. Hinshaw's barn the thieves drove to Lynn. They first l)roke into the William Males black smith shop where they stole a crow bar, screw drivers, chisels and other tools which were used in looting the various places visited. It is evident that the raid on the quiet little town was not made until 1 o'clock or later as the Knights of Pythias held a so cial meeting last night at the lodge tcoms, which are on the second floor of the K. of . P. building, just over the Chenowetb, general store. This meet ing did not conclude until after mid Slight and those who attended state that there were no signs that robbers wem-then operating in the Chenowetb, More. Overlooked the Bank. After securing tools at tho black smith shop the robbers evidently vis ited the Chenowetb store first. This store is located only a -short distance from the bank, which Tor some reason the robbers overlooked. The Cheno wetb. store was entered from the side door, which opens on Church, street, by prying it open with a crowbar. The safe is located in the glass parti tioned private office of Mr. Chenow eth. Holes were drilled into the safe door then a quantity of dry goods, overalls and waste were piled about the safe to deaden the report. The blowing of the safo was the work of an ex pert. As was stated the explosion was heard by no one, but the door was blown into a thousand peices, all of them falling within the safe. Not a pane of glass in the partitions was broken, nor were any of the show cases. The thieves succeeded in se curing about $30 from the safe. There was also consiaeraoie jeweiry taiien from the store, the exact valuo of Which is not known. To the Postoffice Next. After making this good haul at the Chenowetb. store the robbers crossed Church street and broke into the rear door of the postoffice. They obtained but little loot there because Postmast er Frank Doly has made it the prac tice of taking the receipts of the of fice to his home each evening. He has done this ever since the postoffice eafe was blown a year or two ago at which time a big haul was made. The postoffice safe has been in bad repair ever since this robbery and the thie ves this morning did not have, much trouble hi opening it. but alt thy got was some loose cnange.

Gallagher, a well known young man of this city, lias enlisted in the United States army, and has left for Columbus, O., where he will receive his assignment to ..the .LiOth. Infantry, San Diego, Cal. ' . Owing to a defect of the vision in his left eye. Hubert Snavely was Fri day night rejected by the army offi cers. Snavely was admitted by Ser geant Bard, but on close investigation of his vision it was found necessary to refuse him admittance to the army ranks, much to the sorrow of Sergeant Bard, as he considered Snavely one of the best applicants he has received in the past two years. Sergeant Bard has been apprised of the fact that the war department has made new rulings in regard to the pur chase of discharges by the soldiers. Prior to May 1 the cost of personal dis charge was $120, after one year's ser vice, which decreased five dollars per month after that time. The discharge can now be secured for $100 after the first year, SOO after the second year; $75 after the third year; $70 after the fourth year'; $60 after the fifth year, $oO after the sixth year up to the tenth year. After serving in the army over ten years the discharge can be secured- for $40. If soldiers can prove that either of his relations are depenc . ent upon him for support he may bej discharged by favor, and at the same time will be given all allowances as though he had served his full term of enlistment.

Notwithstanding an outward appearance of apathy and lack of interest in the case of Wil liam D. Haywood, the first of the offi cers of the Western Federation of Miners called to the bar to answer the charge of conspiracy and complicity in the murder of former Governor Frank Steunenberg. there has existed for some time in Boise an extremely tense condition. The presence in the city of a number of private detectives employed by both sides and the outspoken attacks by the radical element of the Social ists, necessarily brought out many rumors and reports, purporting to come from authentic sources, of prob able trouble, such as an attack on the jail or an attempt to spirit away some of the chief witnesses for the prosecu tion. The proceedings in the court room yesterday did much to dissipate this. There was a spirit of give and take. A joke from one or another of counsel, or a laugh caused by the an swer of a talesman acted as safety- valves and when the day was over the strain was relieved and every one breathed easier. Mr. Richardson, one of Haywood's leading counsel said today: Depends on the Sheriff. "We expect the sheriff will select his veniremen with fairness and with care, so as to enable us to secure an impar tial jury. If the right class of men is selected we will not take a long time to secure a jury." While the number of witnesses to be called on both sides looks formid able, there is good reason to believe that a very large number of these wit nesses will not be in attendance. A considerable portion of the witnesses for the prosecution live in Colorado or in other neighboring states. This is also true of the defense, as the home of the prisoners is in Colorado and it is not possible to bring them to Idaho against their will. Lawyers of Boise, not connected in any way with the case, but who know as much, as is known of, what both sides expect to do. say that after the jury is secured the trial of the case ought to be over in two weeks. Will Orchard Testify? Several members of the Western Federation of Miners, who are now in Boise watching the progress of the case, do not join the belief existing ia some quarters that Orchard will refuse to testify. They believe that he will make his statement upon the stand. On all sides there is a question as tg. how far Orchard will be allowed to go In his statement, which, it is alleged, im plicates Haywood. Mover and Petti bone. It is around this evidence that the whole case undoubtedly will move. statement printed by the Chicago Journal charging that one.

Moyer, the prisoner now In the jail here charged with the murder of former Governor Steunenberg, is one and the same man, is denied by the prisoner and his counsel. , A jury of the most capable nature has been secured to pass upon the display of Indiana pictures that will be submitted at the local art exhibit next month in competition for the Foulke prize, established the past year. All three of the men selected have consented to serve, receiving only their expenses, and expressed pleasure in doing so because of their interest in the art movement. One of the three judges chosen is T. C. Steele of Indianapolis, one of the best known artists of the Hoosier state and who last year was himself awarded the Foulke prize on his picture, "The Cloud." Having won the prize last year Mr. Steele is not eligible to com pete again and hence can serve on the jury. L. II. Meakiu of Cincinnati is another member. He is a teacher in the Cincinnnati art academy ana is a landscape painter of ability. The third member is James William Pat tison, artist and teacher of the Chica go Art institute, xvir. i'attison is a much-traveled man and an art con noiseur and is the author of a series of articles now running in "The House Beautiful." j Directors Hold Meeting. j At a meeting of the directors of the Art association Friday night Mrs. j M. F. Johnston, the president, made! a reuort as above and there was a i general discussion "fa reference to the coming exhibit and the ways and means for conducting it. It is desir ed to make this exhibit as beautiful and attractive in the way it is dis played as possible. As already stated, Richmond and Muncie are this year working jointly in portions of the display that is to be made and pictures are now arriv ing in Muncie, which will have the first exhibit. The Richmond exhibit will have numerous features that win not be shown at Muncie. One is the display of photogrphy and another will be the Indiana work submitted for the Foulke prize. Mrs. jonnston has aided the Muncie Art League in every way possible and has compiled its catalogue. Situation at Muncie.
