Rockingham Register 4 telegram was
received here early Thursday morning by
the Chief of Police stating that sometime
during the night previous the safe OF the
Grottoes Company at Shendun had been
| blown OF, n, and considerable amount OF
money stolen. Among other things the
craftsmen secured three 500 notes, one OF
which had the word "Collin" written upon
#. The evidences of the Burglary that
we're left indicated that it was the work
of professionals, and that there was more

stveral experiences lately with safe-blow-
ers. and the new city evidently stands in
need of better police protection.
