MYSTERIOUS BURGLARY
Safe at Hcgan's Market Opened
and Robbed.

Sometime between the close of business
Saturday night and the opening of Hogao's
meat market Monday morning the safe was
opeoed, the money vault forced open and
$50 IS in cash and about $50 in receipts
stolen. The outer door of the safe was not
broken or dis6gured 10 the slightest degree,
but the combination was unlocked and
reocked after the cash vault was removed
The cash vault was forced With an old chise,,
which was found near by, and the wool
work around the draw was considerably
broken and uutilated 10 doing go The cash
vault was found this morning ID the lot in
the rear of the meat market where it had
been taken, apparently, to be broken open
1t s thought by Mr.. Hogan that an entrance
was effected through the back door, there
being slit in the wire of the screeo door
just above the lock Nothing in the market
except the safe was distursed and the ROBBERY
was not discovered Until the safe was opened
Mr.. Hogan was n the market Sunday for
few minutes and although be noticed nothing
wrong it is possible that the robbery may
have occurred 90 Saturday night, for unless
he bad opened the safe and discovering the
loss cegan an investigation it is oct probable
that be would have observed that the wire in
,ne door bad been cut.
Altogether the robbery is a most mysterious
flair and there is no clue that the police can
take up in the effort to apprehead the blr-
glar. The fact tna. the coubnation was
worked, the safe cpeced and relocked. ls
circumstance that is almost inexplicahe aud
appears 10 Indicate that either some one had
learneo the combination or en- expert safe
cracker did the work.
