They Crack II Safe at HatfeId's Store
Sunday Morning.

Wilkes Barre, June 7.--Burglars of
the. safe-cracking species operated in
Dallas yesterday morning. At a. m.
they entered the large general store of
Harry Hatfield, and blew open the safe
by exploding dynamite, first drilling a
hole in the top of the safe. The door
was blown completely across the store
and other parts of the safe were scat
tered promiscuously about the store.
In order to deaden the noise of the re-
port two large sacks of salt were placed
on the safe. The burglars secured SIS
in cash and lot of valuable notes and
papers. They also pried open the
money drawer under the counter, which
contained about 81 in small change
Strange to say, however, they did not
touch the contents of the drawer.
b After they had finished their nefar-
ious work in the store the burglars
chartered (without the company's per-
mission) Lehigh Valley hand truck,
on which they rode to point below the
Ice Cave hotel. There they threw the
truck over the embankment, and pro-
