BURGLARS
Attempted to Rob B. & 0. Depot at
CrestOn,

An attempt was made to burglarize
the Il. & o. station at Creston. Station
Agent Blodgett noticed couple of
men lettering around the depot and and
for n time he watched them. They f.
nally disappeared and Mr.. Blodgett
went upstairs to his rooms to retire
for the night. Mrs. Blodgett, who at
tended the performance at the hall, re-
turning home soon after. supposed that
her husband was in the Office await
ing her, and walked in upon the men,
who were in the act of forcing the
ticket case and money drawer. She
called to her husband, but by the time
he got down stairs, the men made their
escape through the east window of the
telegraph Office. The burglars left
empty handed, and but for the timely
arrival Of Mrs. Blodgett they no doubt
would have secured large number Of
tickets and what money there was.
