The depot at Woodwork Station
was burglarzed Monday night
Entrance was effected by breaking a
pane of glass and opening the sash
lock; the window then being easily
raised. AS no money is ever left in
the building, there being no safe, the
burglar did not get rich. The ticket
case was pried open with the shovel
used for the coal, but no tickets were
discovered missing. From the dis
turbed condition OF the drawers it was
evident that the burglar had made a
thorough search for financial aid.

public yesterday and there is no doubt
