OF The Safe Was Easily Worked BY Robbers
at MChugh's Planning Mil.

When Mrs. j. f. McHugh opened his
Office at his planning mill, situated on
the river bank near the foot of Fifth
street, an unwonted sight met his eyes.
Private papers, account books and the
apartment drawers of his safe were
scattered over the floor in greatest
confusion. A momentary glance at
the room and its condition served to
show him that during the night an at
tempt had been made to burglarize the
mill. The safe door was standing wide
open. the apartments used for securing
the cash and valuable documents had
beer broken open and the entire safe
rified of it's contents.
On making an examination Of the
burglars means of entrance, it was
found that they had climbed up on
shed in the rear of the office and had
then broken the catch which fastened
the window. The sash was carefully
removed and laid on support in tho
Office and the bold thieves had safe
and commodious means of ingress and
egress. They then calmly pulled down
the window blinds so that they might
not be observed by curious eyes, helped
were in the office and striking match
after match, proceeded to work the
combination of the safe.
1t happened that Mr.. McHugh had
only given the combination a slight
turn when he locked up for the night,
and the burglars were fortunate
enough to be profited by this state of
affairs. When the safe door was op-
ened, the boxes in the safe still re-
manned inaccessible and a means of
forcing them had to be found. They
accordingly utilized Mr.. McHughs tin
shears and were successful in prying
open the boxes.
Then began a complete search of all
papers and contents of the boxes. The
results, however, must have been dis
appointing, as Mr.. McHugh never
leaves any money in his Office during
the night.
The marauders were determined not
to go away empty handed, and so took
with them two notes of $50 and $50
each payable the German and the
First National Banks, respectively.
Two pass books of the Dimes Savings
Society, glass cutter valued at s5 and
hammer completed the plunder
There is no clue by means of which
the guilty parties may be detected, but
it is Mr.. McHughs belief that the rob-
berry was committed by persons famil-
lar with the premises.
This is the second attempt which
has ben made to burglarize Mr.. Nc
Hugh's Office. but in both cases moth.
ing of value has been secured.
The banks have been notified of the
loss of the notes and nothing can be
realized by the burglars from this
source.

Rural Route.

The hustler, Arch Rightmire,
OF near Warren was a business
visitor in the city Thursday.
He has been working up an in
terest in Free Rural Delivery
and succeeded in securing no
signatures tothe petition. The
route would leave the
Warren road 81 miles from this
city and go to the west of and
north of Warren and then back
to Warren and return to this
city over the Philadelphia and
Monroe City road. Mr.. Right.
mire is enthusiastic over the re.
suit for two reasons. First, the
convenience securing mail.
Second, the prospects of better
ing the roads in his section of
the country. From our point of
view the second will by far be
the greater and more profitable
to the farmers. Because it will
add pleasure, convenience to
his family and an occount of
putting him in touch with the
markets, will put money direct
ly into his pocket and at the
same time enhance the value of
his farm.
