WOODBURY..

THE SAVINGS BANK BURGLARIZED.
Quiet and sedate Woodbury. had a
genuine sensation, Wednesday, when
the Woodbury. Savings bank was bur-
glarized in the early hours of that
morning. At about O'Clock the bur
glars broke into the savings bank and
cracked the safe with dynamite, but
though they carried away number of
papers stored in the bank, they secured
only small amount in cash, reported
to be 500. The explosion which COM
pletely wrecked the safe, said to be
valued at $1,000, was loud enough to
awaken many Of the residents of the
town. The first person to hear the
report was Miss Rebecca Huntington,
a nurse, a daughter of Judge Hunting
ton,at present caring for DR. Reynolds,
at Mrs Lewis home. Mrs Lewis house
adjoinS the block in which the bank is
lOca ted. She is the owner of the block.
Miss Huntington, the nurse, heard the
first report, being aroused shortly af-
ter , O'Clock by muffled explosion,
but not hearing any further disturb
ance rshe attached little Importance
to it, until about 3 O'Clock, when an
other explosion, and much louder one,
was heard. After becoming acquaint-
ed with what was going on, she awoke
everybody in the place by ringing a
bell. Within few minutes.the whole
neighbOrhOod was aroused. On infOr-
nation given by the nurse, a party of
men followed in the direction of the
thieves. The burglars went south
ward toward Southbury. but it is not
| known whether or not they altered
their course after getting outside the
| town limits. Entrance to the bank
was gained by carefully removing a
:, dow and placing it on the ground with
out breaking it, showing them to be
thoughtful and considerable burglars.
The first explosion tore open the front
door to the safe, allowing the burglars
free access to the drawers inside. The
thieves evidently sat on the floor, fol
indications point to this, and examined
all the papers in the safe. A package
of chewing tobacco belonging to then
was found in the safe. After pulling
everything about for about three-quar
tiers of an hour, and tearing open {
number of envelopes containing small
sums of money, the burglars concluded
to try another explosion SO as to re
move the inner door. When the re
port came it was SO loud the burglar.
were surprised, and after picking up al
the papers scattered about the floor
and about 500 in cash, departed. The
thieves in their hurry to leave over
looked the inner compartment, where
quite sum of money was kept. The
