They Drill Hole at Wake 4 Bal
IauG's. bat Leave job Unfinished.

Burglars are at work I'm Richmond but
they are not experts.
That much was proven by the bungle-
some manner in which they attempted to
effect an entrance TO the safe of Wake
& Ballauf. They broke into the office Of
the firm which is situated on Seventeenth
street near Main, and bored hole into
the iron safe, after first having Knocked
the hinges off. They applied dynamite
but did not use a second charge, and this
would indicate that they were frightened
off before they could complete the job
Mr.. Wake discovered the evidences of
the visitors when he opened up his office
Tuesday morning and at once summoned
the police. These experts in criminology
Immediately upon seeing the safe pro-
nounced the work that of nOvices and on
that hypothesis they are now working
They have not as yet made any arrests
There were only a few dollars in the
safe, and had the thieves succeeded in
blowing il open they would have received
but little reward Tor their work They
took nothing. but Mr.. Wake says il will

damages done TO the safe
