BURGLARS AT The
POST OFFICE.
Arrival of NJ light WatChman
Hover ThWarted Plan to
Wreck Safe.
Ran Out Door and ESCAPED.

An attempt to blow open the safe
in the Post Office was made about
two O'Clock yesterday morning,
and that it was not successful was
due to the arrival at the rear door
of the building of night watchman
Hover. The plans were we'll laid.
The burglars, after prying open the
swinging doors at the front Ell.
trance, made provision for their
escape in case of detection by cut.
ting the electric light wire, causing
it to be dark both in and outside
the building. They also took the
additional precaution to tie the hall
door, below the post Office, leading
up to Mrs. D. w. Kitchens ap-
partments, with rope. They then
turned their attention to the safe.
The large knob was twisted off,
and into the aperture had been
placed good sized charge of nitro.
glycerine. Everything was in readi-
ness to complete the job. The fuse
with cap attached, was lying on the
top of the safe, and FIVE minutes
more would have been sufficient
time for the robbers to have accom-
plished their purpose.
When Hover appeared at the
rear door, they took to their heels
and escaped through the front door.
Hover pursued them but the chase
was futile, the darkness enabling
them to get away.
He Immediately enlisted the aid
of Paul r. Eyerly of the Moyning
Press, who was the nearest person
at hand, and together they made
an examination of the office, after
which Hover went to the Exchange
Hotel to awaken Postmaster Jas. c.
Brown, while Eyerly, revolver in
hand, stood guard at the office door.
An examination by Mr.. Brown
showed that all the burglars had
secured was nine cents, which had
been taken from the money order
drawer. Nothing else was dis
turbed. Had they succeeded in
blowing the safe open they would
have been rewarded to the extent
of $4,000 including money and
stamps.
The perpetrators were doubtless
accomplished in their art Every
thing showed the skill and training
Of full-fedged burglar. 1t is not
known how many there were of
them. Two suspicious looking
characters were observed lettering
about in the vicininty of the post
Office early in the evening. They
may have been and probably were
members of the gang but there
must have been more. The fact
that they got out OF the building so
quickly, would seem to indicate
there had been pickets stationed on
the outside and that the robbers
had been warned of Hower's ap-
proach. The arc light on the
Square was out, but there was
bright light in the First National
Bank, and anyone standing near
Rishton's store could easily have
seen Hover passing.
The safe being locked, charged
with nitro glycerine, there was no
money orders issued at the post
Office yesterday. Postm ter
Brown detailed the circumstances
to the York Safe Company, and
they Immediately sent an expert
here to see what can be done. He

STRIAL EDITION.

This special number OF the
Herald clearly shows that Aberdeen
has much to offer the investor and
bomeseoker. Furthermore, the
edition is convincing proof that ADJ
erdeen has fully recovered from the
effects of the great fires Of 1903.
The Illustrations and the reading
matter should prove a sufficient ar
gument to induce capitalists. man
ufacturers and desirable homeseek-
ers to personally investigate the al
Turing opportunities offered them
here.
throughout the work, it has
been the intention to avoid any
over-statement or to make any
claim that would not stand the most
searching investigation. Aber-
deems attachments and prospects
have been presented in an ex-
tremely conservative manner, and
no allowance need be deducted from
the facts and figures found in the
columns Of this paper.
Had there been more space avail
able, no doubt other business men
would have encouraged this COM
munity work by advertising patron
age, and the absence of representa-
ton of any firm or individual is no
reflection on their public spirited
ness or enterprise.
