Our citizens were very much surprised
the morning of the 3lst of December to
learn that the post Office and jewelry store
together with Shanes (the jewellery safe
had been broken open. Entrance to the
building was secured by forcing open the
front door, after which the back one was
opened and left open and the safe blown
but fortunately an entrance to the safe was
not secured although the doors were more
or less blown to pieces. Some postage
stamps and small change was then taken
from the post Office and about twenty-five
dollars i'm value from the jewellery store.
Inside the safe was several hundred dollars
which they came very near securing. Be
tween eleven and twelve o'clock parties left
the hall directly over the building and about
two o'clock the night watch and telegraph
operator discovered a bright light there
which attracted their attention and they
went and tried the door, finding box
against 1t on the inside, but as this was
common place for boxes they left it without
investigation, and it is, think, fair to pre-
sumo they also left the burglars In the build
ing at the time. 1t was first believed they
had some clue to the intruders but the trail
is lost and there is very little hope that any
thing farther will he done in the matter.
