10 Mondays paper We mentioned the
fact that Kellers grocery had been robbed
the night before and also made some com.
nents on the possibilities and probabilities
Of another burglarious raid in our midst.

toned, did not know that Saturday nights
work was not confined TO the Keller rob

some one had taken the hatchet belonging
in the place and tried to chop of the
L;nges and combination knob from the
safe. The door knob and combination
knob were bruised and battered of and
the soft metal ornaments on the hinges
had been broken from their places. OF

ton in such q fix that it could not be
opened, and the books and stamp being
locked up in the safe made 1t very incon'
venient for the clerks TO transact business.
