LARGE PART OF PLUMBER IS PROP
ERTY OF BALDWIN UNI
VERSITY.

Bera, Ohio, Oct. 29.-One of the bold
est safe robberies ever perpetrated in
this vicinity occurred at an early hour
Saturday morning in almost the heart
of the village. The hardware store of
Lawrence & Brightman was entered
the large safe was cracked, and the
robbers made good their escape with
more than 100000. Baldwin university
bears the heaviest loss. G. G. Bright
man, the junior member Of the firm, is
also the treasurer and trustee of Bald
win university, and all of the valuable
papers Of the institution which were
left in Brightman's custody were kept
In the safe. Bonds, notes and mort
cages of the university aggregating
100000 in value were secured by the
robbers. Many of the notes held by
Baldwin university We're of long stand
ing and bore numerous Endorsements,
making it impossible to produce them
in duplicate.
No Clue to Thieves.
diligent search for the thieves has
been instituted, but as yet no clew as
to their whereabouts or identity has
been established. A fact regarded as
most singular is that the explosion of
the safe was hear by parties residing a
half-mile north and more than that
distance southwest of the center Of
town, while those residing in the bust
ness district were unaware that an ex-
plosion had occurred. The force of the
explosion was most terrific. The safe
was constructed on fire and burglar
proof principles, yet the heavy doors
were twisted from their hinges as if
made of paper, and large pieces of the
safe doors were firmly imbedded in the
walls of the building, one section
weighing fifty pounds being blown clear
through a partition into an. adjoining
room. Six men are believed to have
Oeen engaged in the affair.
