Last Sunday night the depot at Corder
broken into and S27 taken from the
money drawer. On the same night the
Alma depot was also broken into, but 1t is
not known here how much booty the
burglars obtained. The night before
Christmas robbers broke into the bank at
MAYHEM and blew off one OF the outer
doors of the large iron safe, In which the
books and other valuables of the bank are
kept. The inner doors were strong
enough to resist the crowbars and cold
chisels with which the robbers attempted
to gain access to the interior, and they
left, probably thoroughly disgusted with
their failure. All the robberies were
doubtless committed by the same parties.
