Three Blown Open in One Night at
Tacoma.
Tacoma, Jan. 29.-During the early
morning robbers blew open with nitro
glycerine three safes belonging to the
Tacoma Steam Laundry, Aubry Wag-
on Company and the John G.. Camp
bell Company. The laundry and the
John G. Campbell company are the
heaviest losers The laundry safe was
demolished and the $500 it contained
gathered up by the robbers from the
debris. The robbers put up bold
front. Edward Earle and Frank Mil
Ter, two employees Of the laundry We're
sleeping in the building. The crash
of the Office window awakened them,
but before they could get out of bed a
masked man was covering them with
revolver and counseling them to keep
under the covers. He stood guard over
them while the men worked at the
safe. A fourth man watched on the
sidewalk.
When the explosion came all the
robbers united in a scramble for the
funds. Miller and Earle escaped and
gave the alarm at 80 a. III. The
iron door was blown off the safe and
the office furniture demolished.
The safe at the John G.. Campbell
Company's Office was also wrecked.
The door VISA rent in twain and torn
from the hinges.
But little harm was done to the Au-
bry safe, the door appearing to have
given way easily. In neither of the
latter safes was there anything of
value.
