Cracksmen mt Work.

Tuesday night Roberts Bros bakery, cor.
ncr Main and La Sale streets, was the scene
of very bold attempt at safe-cracking. 1t
appears that at some time during the early
hours OF the morning an entrance had been
affected to the store through the cellar way
on the outside by means of picking the lock
The door on top leading to the cellar was
opened, a small piece having been cut out OF
the door sufficient for hand to be thrus,
through to remove the bolt on the other side
The key hole of the door to the entrance
had been plugged and then to work went the
craftsman. The combination plate was brok
en- off and hole was bored almost through
the safe door, but it is supposed that the bur
glar or burglars were alarmed by the work
men who generally go to work in the bakery
between 8 and O'clock. In the safe was
money amounting to about $50. Nothing
was missing in the morning but few dollars
in silver and eight dollars in counterfeit sill
yer. The safe was located ut the front win
dow of the store almost in full view Of anyone
who CHANGED to be on the street, and it is
another one Of those mysteries how the at
tempt could be made to blow it open without
being discovered in the act.
Though the scene OF this attempted safe
breaking was but q few doors from where the
late fire broke out, the theory of "spontane
Gus 'bustion" has not been advanced by the
Roberts Bros, as an indirect cause of tbs
robbery. They think that the theory ei
spontaneous abstraction" of the money in
the safe is what induced the attempt, and it is
safe to presume that this is the more correct
theory.
