ZEBULoN, Ca, Oct. 5.-Burglars en-.
tered the store Of Sullivan, Stade & Co.
here, blew open the safe and secured
about S75.
The burglars effected an entrance
through the front door by prizing it
open and were seen and heard during
the time by two or three parties living
near by, but they were afraid to give an
alarm, as the burglars had guards, it
was supposed, stationed on the streets.
The safe door was blown 10 atoms.
After securing the money the burglars
retired without 1nolesring anything in
the store so far as is known.
No clue by which they could be pur.
sued has so far been obtained.
