Bank Breakers at West Buxton
Have Poor Luck.
They Could "Bust" Everything But
the Trusty, Old Safe.
That Rssi.,ed Drills. SJedses, Gunpowder,
kitro. .Gyc'rire and Dynamite.

PORTLAND, Msy 2l-The villsge of
West Buxton was much excited this morn
| ing over bold att 'mpt to break into the
safe of the Buxton and Hollis Savings
Bank. This savings institution has its
Office and vault in the northerly of two
brick blocks which are owned by A. KIP.
Lord. Esq, and are the principal business
houses in the village. The burglars gained
an entrance through the rear window
Thence they forced open the doors until
they reached the main room. A high iron
railing was scaled and the gate opened from
the inside. Work then began on the safe.
| From the evidence discovered since, it is
known that they had, besides their own
equipments, sledge and other tools taken
from j. +. Sands blacksmith shop, and a
carriage robe stolen from the shed of
Henry Fogg, who lives a mile below the
village. Ii is not known how long the
| burglars wo; ked on the safe, but about 2 A.
NJ. several residents were awakened by n
| series of explosions. Several citizens were
| soon on the spot with shot guns, but the
| bur glars had fl ID. Inside the hank were
many evidences that the burglars meant
| business.
Inc DuAl0n anu tO'us SAVINGS D1nk IA
| the only one in that portion Of York county.
| 1t has deposits amounting to about $500 600
| but very little of this is kept IN the vault.
There was about Sl200 there, Thursday
night, when the burglars made the attempt.
Today Treasurer Charles +. Weld and
Assistant Treasurer C.. z. Harmon were
busy taking an inventory of the articles
left by the burglars and trying to get the
safe open.
The vault of the bank is of brick, about
20 inches thick, and closed by double iron
doors locked by combination locks Inside
the safe is an old Lille burglar and ire
p DOT" safe made at Troy, n. Y, in 1851.
The officials of the bank attribute the
failure of the burglars to the fact that the
safe was so old that the crooks of this gen.
| Grafton did not understand it. This is prob
ably so, f,r there was M trouble in getting
through the two iron doors of the ult, a
drill hole and lictle powder beside the
lock, not only opening the door, but blow
ing one of the combination dial plates
through the window and far into the street.
But the old safe was not so easy.
o. Liquid nitro glycetine was poured into
the ample space at the top of the door, but
it seems to have run out the bot, ON as fast
as it was turned 10, although bar of brown
soap was partly used to stop these cracks.
Au attt mpt was made to attack the lock
through the knob of the combination.
That was blown off, but still the old safe
stood. Another stack with drills was
made but without success, and finally last
charge of dynamite vas put by the lock.
Before this was fired the burglars were
frightened away. They left pint fla,k
partly filled with nitro glyCerine dynamite
cartridge. cake of soap, drill brace and
half-a-dozen drills, about four pounds of
gun powder, oil can, etc.
