Che ponderous safe OF the German
bank was removed last night to Its new
quarters In the Grand Opera House
block. The work consumed several
hours, and It was nearly midnight before
It was completed. Some difficulty was
experienced In removing the safe from
the wagon into the new building, and a
force OF men were busy with jacks and
other appliances long time before they
succeeded.
The safe IL very heavy and It's weight
