H. h. Bennett and AL. Rickerd have

The Navarro post office was burglarlzed
| last night. An entrance was effected by
boring holes into the spring lock that
locks the front door, after which the
burglars proceeded to drill hole into the

put and exploded, The conclusion forced
open the door of the safe, knocked q hole
into the wainscoating of the side OF the
building, shattered and broke the glass in
the post office boxes and demolished
things in general. There was, however
no money in the safe, as the Post Master,
Mr.. Corl uses the safe only for books and
papers, being just small flreproof safe.
A quantity of stamps and postal cards
which had been placed inside and the
| money order cash book, with the remitr
ance entry book were stolen and carried
off. The thieves that did the job were
experts evidently in the way they effected
an entrance to the building and did the
work. just what they want with the two
books that they carried eff cannot be told
and p. M. Cori will be inconvenienced for
| some time as the M. o, cash book 10 the
most important in the post office.
