STILLSON WRENCH SERVES
' —‘ ' . .
AS MEANS OPENING SAFE
4 _____
OPENS SAKE CONTAINING
Nil CM ON DOLLAR*, WITH
STILLKON WRENCH
Many years ago Joe Earle,
known to everyone as •Gasoline
Red,” executed a pretty piece of
business on a safe belonging to
one of the banks in* Nome at that
t i nua~ —■
It developed that the Pioneer
Mining Co. had about one million
dollars in gold in the safe, but for
some reason the outside door of
the safe would not respond to the
combination. ‘Red” was called
and after looking the situation
over was about ready to call it
units. He had tried the combina
tion. but the tumblers would not
release.
Finally in his own words: “I
figured about the only thing left
to do was to try one of the oldest
tricks in the trade. f called for
a Stillson wrench. Grabbing hold
of the handle on the safe I put the
wrench on the combination and
with a super-human .'ffort. un
screwed the knob.
‘‘Probably you don't know any
thing about safes, but in the com
bination there is a larger wheel
on the inside with holes in it, in
which' screws are placed to regu
late the combination.
“Well, in working the combina
tion the screws come buck up
against each other and finally
when it is worked properly they
slide togetehr and the door will
open.
“I found that one of those screw .
heads had been knocked off re
leasing one of the tumblers and
putting the whole 'shebang' adrift.
I trots up to the hardware store
and got another screw and put it
in place, then screwed the knob
of the combination back on; clinch
ed 'er down tight with the Still
son, executed th». proper combina
tion and gently pulled the door
open.
“Well, sir; it only took me
about twenty minutes, so when f
collected I made the price $50.00.
The manager didn’t seem to like
it and said: ‘It’s exorbitant. You
only worked aim tit half an hour.’
Say, I said: ‘If I'd known yoa
thought that before I opened this
box, I'd have charged you $250,’*
and I'll bet I would have got t,
to". ”
Incidentally “Hed'' got his fifty
"n thp spot and the matter was
then forgotten about for many a
long year. This happens to be a
true story as witnesses will tell
you, so don't, rhtfik the editor was
having a pipe dream. Ask the'old
'imers.
