$140 in cash and $1000
stamps, according to
transmitted to the sheriff's office this
morning over the telephone. Details
of the robbery were meagre, but from
reports received this afternoon, the
same robbers attempted to blow the
safe of the N. B. Long meat market,
knocking the combination from the
safe with a hammer but leaving with
out securing anything, evidently hav
ing been frightened away.
Word of the postoffice robbery was
sent to Postoflice Inspector Fullin
wider at Spokane who immediately set
the wheels in motion throughout the
northwest to apprehend the robbers
and secret service operatives are now
on the way to Kendrick. The sheriff's
office also notified all towns in this
neighborhood of the robbery. Sheriff
Campbell and Deputy Sheriff Hall im

the robbery and, while it is announc

was drilled in the heavy safe door at
the postoffice and a charge of nitro
glycerine Inserted. The cracks of the
safe were well soaped and when the
charge w-as exploded, the brick lining
of the safe crumbled and the door is
said to have swung open without dam
* age to the combination. It was an
easy matter to pry loose the inner
door and abstract the money and
stamps.
It w-as learned this afternoon that
roomers in the Guy hotel heard ex
plosions about 3 o'clock this morning
and that a young boy in the hotel
arose to see what the noise was about.
Suspecting burglars, in hearing a noise
in the hallway of the hotel, he rushed
hack to his room and crawled beneath
his bed. The postoffice is adjoining
the hotel. It is understood that the
robbers effected an entrance to the
postoffice through a rear door by the
use of a pass key.
Postmaster Harry Stanton was to
have checked out as postmaster to J.
F. Brown tonight. It is reported that
the night watch at Kendrick general
ly goes off duty about 11 o'clock which
leaves the city unprotected during the
balance of the night.
Tried Long's Safe First
KENDRICK, April 10—(Special.) —
Safe crackers entered the postoffice
and the store occupied by N. B. Long
& Son, as a meat market, at about 3
o'clock this morning, and appropriated
about $1000 in stamps and $150 in
money from the postoffice.
A bank
pass book laying on the cash register,
Saturday night
showing a deposit
probably saved the safe at Long &
Son from being cracked, as the com
bination dial had been twisted off with
a pipe wrench that had been procured
by the burglars at the Northern Pa
cific pirmp house. The wrench was
found just outside of the postoffice
fits the dial on Long & Son's safe,
indicating that the robbers tried the!
market safe first. The postoffice safe
is badly damaged.
H. G. Stanton came
Postmaster
within one day of being out of of
fice as John Brown, the newly ap
pointed postmaster was to have taken
charge of the office at thè close of
business today. Air. Brown had con
tracted with Mr. Stanton for the fix
tures of the office and would have
formally received them Saturday but
from the fact that he was busy with
other matters.
No clue as to the identity of the cul
prits has been found, but with the
county authorities, together with post
office officials it is hoped that better
results will be' obtained than there
last fall, when the safe at the
was
Kendrick store was blown and several
hundred dollars taken, without
much as a clue ever being found.

Since the battle began the Germans
captured 130 square miles of territory,
30 villeges and one fort, the French
admitted. It is estimated that the
losses on both sides exceed 200,000.
The Crown Prince rushed fresh
troops to Bethineourt today after
squeezing the French from the salient.
The French point out that Douaumont
is the only fort taken despite the ex
tensive use of famous heavy artillery.
Germans Make Gains
LONDON, April 10.—Germans pen
etrated the French trenches for five
hundred yards in the vicinity of Dead
man's Hill in a terrific onslaught last
night, Paris admitted. The battles
on both sides of Bethineourt were the
most furious since the Verdun smash
began. The loss on both sides on
Sunday was appalling. In attempting
to force the evacuation of the fortifica
tions northwest of Verdun, the Ger
mans used nutcracker tactics and sac
rified hundred of men. The French
line was broken northwest of Avo
court.
The French, however, drove the Ger
mans back again. During Sunday the
Germans smashed heavily at Dead
man's Hill, in the Cumeries woods.
They were repulsed during the day
and renewed their attacks last night,
meeting with some success.
Official reports indicated that the
Germans started a general offensive
attack against Verdun along a 12-mile
front on Sunday. Berlin claimed that
the Silesians captured 700 Frenchmen
and 15 large guns, retreating from
Bethineourt.

AMERICAN TROOPS
CLOSING ON VILLA
MEXICAN BANDIT IS BUT ONE DAY
AHEAD OF CAVALRYMEN WHO
ARE FOLLOWING HIS TRAIL
American Forces Are in the Vicinity
of Parral—Villa Trying to Join
Larger Body of Men
By the United Press Associations.
EL PASO, April 10.—Doggedly trail
ing Villa, American cavalrymen reach
ed the desolate Siarras around Par
ral The bandit is one day ahead, with
200 followers at Magistral. He is at
tempting to join the Arrieta brothers
with 3000 men near Durango, the
Americans at Parral stated.
Villa passed through Parral Satur
day. Magistral is 70 miles south. Al
though the Mexicans insisted that Vil
la was wounded, James Hamilton, an
Englishman, at Parral, declared that
the outlaw was not hurt.
Officials have not regarded as ser
ious General Salazar's sudden de
parture after issuing a proclamation
asking the Mexicans to join the new
revolution. Salazar is known to op
pose Villa. Alarmist rumors of the
imminent danger of a Mexican upris
ing here are treated lightly. Consul
Garcia denied in a statement that
Washington had promised not to pur
sue Villa beyond a fixed distance.
