some very daring robbers. The Bank

room of Ocnce HGuse. The robbers
entered the Bank by removing Il pane
of glass from one of the Windows
.Iey carried in with them two axes
and u crow bar, with which they chop
ped and priced into the uper part Of
the safe-One Of Marvin's large bank
ing saieS-in which was some papers
in the stamp drawer, containing about
800 in mouCy. The money in the
stamp drawer was all the robbers got
although from the signs they must
have tried haru get into tue lower
part Of the safe where the cash was de
posted The safe IS badly damaged
80 much so that it will require some
our or five hundred dollars to repair
it, The wonder with us iS that mel
could work with axes and a crow bar,
in such public place, and not be dis
covered. As vet no trace has been
got ut to lead 10 the guilty parties.-
