CHICAGO, January 24.-One Of the boldest
and most successful burglaries ever planned
and executed in this city occurred about Z
O'Clock last evening at the office Of the South
Chicago iron and steel works, Ashland Aven-
ue, near Both street. 1t was not reported by
the police until o'clock this morning, and
then it was learned that three masked burg
lars had forced the office door open, bound
the janitor, and, while one of them stood
guard over him with pistol, the others
drilled hole in the safe and blew open the
combination, and, bidding the old watchman
a cheerful good night, left, taking one thous-
and dollars in five dollar gold pieces, one
hundred and fifty dollars in coin, together
with about nine thousand dollars in bills done
up in envelopes and ready for paying the
help to-day.
The above facts are given by the janitor,
Brooks, but the police regard something
about the affair sufficiently suspicious to i'm
plicate him, and have accordingly arrested
him and his son. He told contradictory
stories.
