Postoffice Robbed at Culver.

Burglars broke into the postoffie at
Culver Thursday night, dynamited
the safe, blowing it into to scores Of
pieces, and succeeded in getting about
$500 worth of stamps and a small
amount of money.
Postmaster Wiseman had just sent
the receipts of the month of October
to Washington. If the work of the
burglars had been five days earlier the
loss would have been much greater.
The robbers succeeded in making
their escape without attracting at
tention, and left no clue as to who
they were or where they went. The
building as well as the safe is reported
badly wrecked.
