driven back by the flames leaving the door open,
Arriving at the scene just at this moment and
| learning its situation, made an unsucceasful at
temptto get to it and lock it, then offered a re.
ward of $le0 to daring fellow to 20 in and lock
| the safe He accomplished the feat and soon after
the hoor fell with the safe into the basement II
contained papers to large amount, the destruction
of which would have been az irretrievabIe az bank
bills. The Safe was subjected to an intense heat
surrounded by large amoant of combustible ma.
terias. On removing the Safe from the fire after
| 1t had somewhat subsidized, (ths Safe still being red
hot the papers were taken out bright az new in
the most perfect order. The wooden lining of the
SAFE was not disfgured at ALL and presented no ap
peararce of fire. The door-pstes are wsrped, on
