Policeman Investigates.
AS soon as the door had been blown from
the safe. 1t is believed, two of the men
went outside to look out for the police or
others who might come, while one was left
inside to get the money and stamps Po-
nceman Bryarly passed the town hall on
his way to investigate the cause of the
explosion and had reached a point not
more than sixty feet from the post office
when he heard a voice call halt" He
stopped an instant to locate the person
who had spoken, and then made an
other start IN the direction of the
post ONCE. Before he had taken more than
three steps he heard the reports of two
pistol shots fired simultaneously. This
satlsned him that there were two armed
men IN 'front.' of him, and before he could
accomplish anything he saw two more
flashes which were followed by reports.
The officer had prepared himself for an
emergency by taking his weapon from his
pocket when he started from the railroad
crossing with the Waterman. The latter
retired when the shooting began, but the
policeman advanced and fired in the d.
rection of where he had seen the flashes
1t was impossible for him to do effective
work at that time, however, for the GRIM
fnals were In the rear Of the building and
We're fully protected until the officer
reached point south of the south line of
the building. He fired three shots and
then went in pursuit of the men. following
them through the grounds of St. Austins
College.
Darkness Favors Burglars.
From the college grounds the fleeing bur-
glars crossed Bunker Hill road and then
entered field to the north of that thor
oughfare. Because of the darkness the
policeman was unable to follow, and he re-
turned to the railroad crossing and tele-
phoned to the station to notify his su-
perior officer of the occurrence.
Miss Marean, the postmistress, was sum-
moned from her home, 3512 9th street. and
she was soon able to tell the police just
what had been stolen. While she regretted
the loss, she felt thankful that the burglars
had not taken the larger amount Of money

Suspicious Aroused.
After stopping the two men On the road
Policeman Bryarly visited the railroad
crossing to compare notes with Allen Ma
laney, the Waterman on duty at the rail-
road crossing. Some time before that time
the Waterman had heard suspicious
noise in the coal Office Of A. D. ". Burr,
near the crossing. and went to ascertain
the cause. He found that somebody had
entered the Office through rear window
and extinguished the light. It is now be-
Neved that 1t was the intention of the rob-
bers to take the contents of thelkafe in the
coal ONCE. TWO strange men were seen by
the Waterman. One stood in tn broadway
and the other was behind tree While
only two men were seen in the vicinity OF
the place this morning, the police are sat
1sded that there were three members OF
the party.
Escape Through College Grounds.
The post Office is In one-story frame
structure On the southeast corner Of 9th
street and Bunker Hill road. Only few
feet to the east is st. Austin's College, and
1t was through the college grounds that
the burglars disappeared. A brace and bit
had been used for the purpose of boring
holes through the door In the rear Of the
small frame structure, but this work, it
appears. proved to be unnecessary, as a
chisel did effective work, and the door gave
way under pressure, taking the facing
with it. With this door open reaching the
safe was an easy matter
Upon reaching the safe this morning an
explosive was placed in the seam over the
hinges and a mail bag was placed over 1t
TO oeaden the sound Of the explosion. The
charge was larger than was actually re-
quired to remove the door from the safe
and a piece of the metal was sent against

metal then dropped to the counter. Two

Papyrus Fragments Received at the
 Yale Library.
 The Yale University library has just received from the Graeco- Roman branch of the Egyptian Exploration fund a package of papyrus fragments inscribed with Greek writing, which were found at Oxyrhyncus in the ex- plorations conducted by MT. Grenfell and MT. Hunt. Most of these manu- scripts are of a commercial nature, but one is believed to be fragment of a lost tragedy by Aeschylus or Sopho- cles entitled "Niobe.' This copy is on the back of a roll of papyrus which bore on the other side old accounts bits of names and amounts of money and seems to have been written early in the second century of our era. It was published with a collotype plate in "The Oxyrhyncus Papyri," Part IT., in published in the same volume as the others, is part of lament for a pet, apparently a fighting cock, which was written in the first century of our era. This is couched in such fowery Ian guage that the suggestion has been made that it may be brought into me- trical form.
