entered. and producing package
which he said WAS valuable asked 10

he did not wish to keep it with him
for fear of belrg robted. The agent

opening lis office, he discovered that
the door OF the SAFE had been broken
open and the lock broken, while the IN
terror Of the safe bore evidences OF All
explosion. All the money that was IN
the safe was missing. An examination
convinced those who saw it that the eX-
plosive had been blown INTO the So e
keyhoie, and the lock destroyed.
The agent notified The agent OF
the express company N tins

TO the police in various cities.
The man vino lie t the package for safe
keeping Friday evening has not since
been SEEN and the conlpany's detectives
believe that he WAS q burglar. They
have also come to the conclusion that
the package WAS nothing more nor
less than an 'lnfernal machine. No
trace !of the package remains, and the
safe door WAS blown of, while the al
sence of drill holes around the lock
plainly shows that the EXPLOSION came
