The POStOffiCe at CrOmp-
ton Was Visited.
Safe Blown Open and Con-
tents Carried Away.
Thieves Left No Tracks and Secured
Little Booty.

Robbers were in the Pawtuxet Valley
again last night, and this time the post
office at Crompton was visited. The post
office is located in Batchelder & Heydon's
store, near the mill, and this is the Sec
ond time that 1t has received the atten-
tion of the knights of the jimmy and
drill.
When the store was closed last evening
everything was left in its usual condition,
but it presented a very different appear
Rnce this morning. The break was first
discovered at the time for opening the
storesthis morning when the front door
was found to have been forced open by
means of a jimmy, and the interior of
the store in confusion. An investigation
was Immediately made and 1t was Sc N
that the postoffice safe had been robbed.
The thieves had gone about their work
in a systematic manner and were evident
ly no novices at the business. After fore
ing the front door of the store they made
their way to the tafe, which 10 an old
fashioned one, and locks with key in
stead of combination, and stands inside
of the enclosure behind the letter boxes,
and commenced their work at once. They
apparently tried to unlock ii but failing
IN this two holes were drillad in the door,
one near the lock and the other near the
top hinge. These holes were loaded with
powder, the fuse lighted and the door
blown open without making enough noise
10 at ract attention. The explosion set
fire TO the books and papers In the safe
and the robbers evidently had some
tiouble in extingu shing tue blaze, as
considerable water was found on the
floor in the vicinity of the safe this
cracksmen made thorough search of the
interior OF the safe, but were poorly re-
'warded for their trouble as ii is the Gus
tom OF the postmaster to keep out a small
sum at the office. the rest of his money
being deposited in the bank each day.
They secured but few dollars in change
and about SIS in stamps. The money
drawer b. hind the counter in the store
was also forced open with a jimmy and
few cents that had been left in IL taken,
but the entire Eaul would not have paid
an honest man a months wages. After
searching the store for valus bIes and not
finding them the thieves left by the way
which they entered. closing the door
behind them. A bitstock, two chisels,
one three quarters and the other an inch,
and half wide, and a Dailcutter. were
left in the store by the thieves and we're
probably stolen from some carpenter shop
in the vicinity. Upon the discovery of
the break the police were notified, but
no clue has been obtained TO the visitors
or the manner in which they came or de-
Parted.
1t is thought that the break occurred
during the early rart OF the night as per-
sons in the boarding house nearby say
they heard a sound like tn falling of
heavy door about 10:30 O'Clock, but paid
no attention to it. The work was evil
IDENTITY the product of the gang which has
been working the State for the past few
months and they we're well acquainted
with the store and the habits of the pro-
prietofs and neighbors.
