and opened the safe. The safe lock was not
in good order and he left the door slightly
aar. 1t was now closed and he was unable
to open it. The door leading from the cellar
to the store had been forced open, showing
that the burglars had entered that way. He
called in some workmen and had the safe
drilled and opened, when he found that
about so in money, partly in gold, had been
taken. He says that about two weeks be-
fore the store was broken into in the same
way and SO taken He said nothing about
the first loss at the time. He also states
that there was about : 300 in the safe at the
time of the first visit and about 800 the
second, yet the thief contented himself with
/ a much smaller amount The burglar has
not yet been apprehended, and no formal
complaint has been made.
