perate because of the dullness, made
an effort to revive the interest in tu-

failure was complete. One of them
became insane. The other was forced
to accept the humble position of an
under gardener at a merchants coun.
try seat.

Office detectives and the local constables

at this place early yesterday morning
and blew open the safe with dynamite.
The burglars were traced as far as
Glenwood, where they abandoned the

New York few hours after the rob-
berry.
Postmaster James H. Cox and his
clerks overhauled the office this morn

as he is able to learn, the thieves Sc
cured about $1,000 in cash and stamps
He said the burglars were evidently

knew that a large sum of money would
be in the safe, as 1t Is customary to
make returns and deposits on the fol-
