An attempt was made this morning to
force open the safe at the iron foundry
known as Colvin's foundry at l9l Globe
street. IL was evident that two men were
working in conjunction with each other,
and their scheme was as shrewd as IL
was bold.
1t was about l o'clock this morn
ing when a man called at the foundry,
and asked TO talk with the watchman.
James Luraing. lie entered the works
and talked with Mr. Lurains, then went
away. The watchman started on his
rounds OF the works AS usual.
Later In the morning, Mr. Luraing
went to the office. and there to his sur
prise saw an unknown man at the safe
making Intellectual attempts TO force II
open.
The man saw the wstchman and with
the alertness of an acrobat leaped out
of the window. and disappeared down the
street. There were no signs OF any rob
bers' or safe breakers tools In the ONCE,
but on the front Of the safe were two
marks such as might have been made
with a pocket tool.

man who called earlier. but II Is believed
that he was acting In conjunction with

Fortunately, the alert watchman came
10 the office as he did. He attempted 20
capture the intruder. but the would-be
safe-breaker was too quick for him.
