The front windows are plate glass which may account for the explosion not break ing them, but the ones on the south side are like those on the east end ordinary windows. The damage will probably be a couple of hundred dollars. It is nothing short of a miracle that the people in the building escaped un hurt and that the damage was not greater. TOM I HEARING CONTINUED FROM YES TERDAY AFTERNOON TO 10 O'CLOCK TODAY Charged With Grand Larceny, the Value of Their Boodle, All of Which Has Been Found, Being $100—Bonds Fixed at $500 Each —Excellent Work of Aberdeen Po lice Force in Apprehending the Crooks. Charles Kinney, alias Jack Web ster, and Martin Dougher, the two me| who were arrested night before last on the charge of grand lar ceny, committed by lifting a grip of jewelry samples from H. V. Guess, a traveling salesman at the Ward ho tel, appeared yesterday afternoon foe fore Justice W. O. Jones. The men were not ready to plead and their case was postponed until 10 o'clock this morning. Bail was fixed at '$500 apiece, In default of which the men were locked up. The goods, which the two men are charged with stealing, were as follows: Thirty-four rolled scarf pins, 11 pairs of rolled gold sleeve buttons, 1 rolled lady's charm, 2 gentlemen's rolled gold wtatch chains 14 rolled gold lace pins, 3 ladles' waist sets of pins, 6 rolled gold sasTi pins, 3 rolled gold plain finger rings, 1 wide band finger ring, 1 rolled gold chased band finger ring, 1 baby rolled gold plain finger ring, 1 plain sample roll, 1 lady's Elgin, .watch, with gol,d filled case, 1 gen tleman'j-f leather hand grip. The total value was given by Mr. Guess at '$100. 'Chief Zlrbss discovered the case yesterday morning In the rear of the Freeman ibuildlng on Railroad avenue east. It Is the opinion of Chief of Po lice C. E. Zirbes that the two men will be. bound over to the circuit court and will ask to go tyefore Judge McCoy as soon as possible to enter a plea of guilty. fThe quick apprehension of the men: is a feather in the claps of ev ery member of the night police foroe. lOhisf Zirbes was not notified of the theft until nearly two hours after the crime was committed. He did not hesitate .to get his men into quick action. He and his men at once commenced a systematic search of. the places which the men would probably frequent and the result was as the chlef anticipated as soon as he heard of the crime. The feat of catching the thieves is another ex ample of the efficiency of the Alber deen police in catching crooks. The men were in D. F. MciPher son's clothing store Monday after noon and acted BO suspiciously that the clerks kept their eyes on them. It was well that they did for they were detected in the act of placing some goods together so that when the opportunity was afforded them t|py would have placed them under tfjielr&coats, I |$jThe News—No Pure Drug Cough Chire La#a would be needed if all Obugh Cures were like Dr. Shoop'a Cotugfi Cure l*-i*nd hat been for 20 yeark The National Law now re $uirjj* tlgat it any. poisons eater into a cough gtixtur*, It most fee printed on the label oc package.
