Especial Telegram to the Globe.l
LAKE CRY, June 28.-One of the most dar-
ing and successful burglaries was perpetrate
at Maiden Rock, Wis, Friday night last,
that was ever known to that quiet little burg.
Some time during the night burglars entered
the dry goods store of Trumbull & Hara by
prying off the castings of the back door. Once
inside the polished Williams proceeded to open
the safe by professional means, namely by ex-
perimenting upon the com bination, as shown
by tally sheet found upon the premises the
following morning, and by which they succeed
ed in opening it, and took therefrom over
$4,000 in current funds; after which they
quietly took few cigars from an open box on
the shelf, and as quietly took their departure,
not leaving even trace behind by which they
might be tracked In view Of the fact that the
job was accomplished in such mysterious
manner, it is evident that it was done by ex-
perts or some one familiar about the premises.
Up to this hour q P. NJ clue whatever to
the robbers had been found.
