Durham, y. c., Nov. 2G.--Sometime DUR
ing last night two safes were robbed In

the office Of the Durham Paper Box fac
tory. In the first named robbery the rob-
bers secured $3.50 in money and an old
Swiss gold watch. the property of Mr..
Paul Collina an employee OF the company,
which was valued at $3.50. From the lat
ter place the robbers secured $3.50 in

about or O'Clock this morning, when
the office forces OF the two concerns show
cd up Tor work. The matter was at once
reported to the police and Chief Woodall
and his force OF men have been turning
every possible clue to apprehend the men
who did the job.
Chief Woodall says that the Standard
Oil safe was blown open with nitro-glycer-
inc and that professionals did the job
There are others who believe that the safe
was beat open with a sledge hammer and
that local men committed the crime.
The safe, which was a small one, was
taken from the office OF the company and
rolled out a side door. There under the
wagon shed and inside an inciosurc the
party or parties used q fourteen pound
sledge hammer to batter the door. The
knob and lace OF the combination were
knocked off and on the door OF the safe
are large number of dents. The inside
door was broken off and the plaster paris
scattered Chief Woodall holds to tho opin-
ion that the knob was knocked off, the
explosive poured into the safe and that
the blows on the door of the safe were
for tie purpose of causing the explosion.
Entrance to the building was gained by
pulling 4 staple to a large door in the rear
Of the building and then everything was
easy.
At the paper box factory was entered
through a rear window, the safe had been
left without the combination on and the
inside partitions were knocked out.
