filling their pockets with nuts from the stock
which his friend had put outside on show.
Anxious to protect the interests OF the grocer,
Schaufier made a rush for the boys. The
group scattered, and the boys fed in every d.

hands were filed with nuts. and pursued him
into the middle of the avenue. There he cap

BURGLARS USE DYNAMITE.
A Steel Safe q Foot Thick Blown Open by
skilrul Professionals.

skilruI ProressionaIs.
BALTIMORE, Nov. 20.-Skilful professional
burglars forced open q steel safe in the mattress
factory of Fred Walpert s. Co. early this morn
ing, and secured between $500 and $500 in cash.
in addition to checks, notes. drafts, and other
valuable papers. The safe, which is of an i'm
proved burglar-proof combination-lock pattern.
10 eight feet high. and has doors a foot thick
composed OF plates Of hardened steel. 1t was
blown open with dynamite.
The Job was one Of the cleverest the detectives
have seen in many O day. With a powerful
rotary breast drill and black diamond bit. the
burglars bored n quarterback hole through tho
hardened steel plates in a slanting direction
beside the knob Of the combination lock. When
they had reached the interior of the lock, they
crumbled a stick of dynamite into small pieces
and worked them through the hole into the open
parts of the lock.
Next an exploder was placed on the end of q
piece of fuse several feet in length and intro
duced into the lock among the dynamite. The
space around the fuse in the drilled hole was
neatly plugged up with cotton and wax. The
end OF the fuse was led around to the rear of tho
safe, wet blankets were hung over the front OF
IL, and wet mattresses were stood up against 1t
and tied with ropes. Dry mattresses were then
placed against the wet ones and the fuse was
touched Off and the safe opened. The burglars
left behind a set of tools of the finest make and
nearly new.
