Show BANK SAFE ALARM CALLS OP POLICE False Alarm Takes Them in Hurry to the Utah Savings & Trust Company. About 9 o'clock Monday evening the bank safe alarm at tho police station bGgan to ring, continuing for almost throe minutes. It was ascertained that tho alarm came from tho Utah Savings and Trust company, 235 South Main street, and the patrol wagon, with Lieutenant Lieu-tenant ITcmpcl, Dotcctivo Ed Jannoy and Patrol Driver Brown, responded. Patrolmen Olough and Olsou wero picked ux on tho way. After a quick and exciting run it was found that it was simply a false alarm. Sovgd of tho employees of tho bank wore going about thoir work when tho officers rushed in, and they were utterly ut-terly astonished when asked what was tho matter. Tho officers oxarained the safe, and tho timo lock of tho reserve chest had been set for ten hours, the same a? usual, but the outer doors had not been closed, th unexposing the delicate deli-cate mechanism of tho lock. The only way that tho alarm could be accounted for was that as some ono was passing by ho happened to touch the automatic alarm releaso. Another theory was advanced to tho effect that soine electric wires might; havo become croiscd and thus turnod in tho alarm. Tho patrol wagon made an excellent ran considering the corners which had to bo turned. Perhaps the most exciting excit-ing part of the affair, however, wns tho immenso crowd which gathered around tho door of the bank. The crowd was so dense that it was almost impossible to cross tho sidewalk within with-in fifty feet of the door. |
