SAFE WAS BLOWN OPEN

oct.

Jamestown Alert; Sunday morning
between 2 and O'Clock, the general

Of the professional burglar. From indi-

gagged on the Job The% b4ks fl the
back door by boring holes inr:tl1e door
and unfastening the lock They then
drilled into the safe in the store,
and inserted a heavy charge of pow
der and dynamite and blew open the
safe door. They secured about $50 in
silver and the refriainder in currency
to the amount of about $40. They
took one check an asylum check for
produce, payment on which has been
stopped. A number of other checks
were iR the safe which were not taken
The burglars made their escape, and
so far no clue has been found of them.
The. drill they used, on the safe they
stole from a blacksmith, shop in the

supposed that the men went east by
the usual hobo route. The rapidity
with which they. worked is seen in the
fact that the Clamp family slept over
head on the scond story and before
they could get down to the lower floor
after !, being 4. awakened, the burglars
had looted the safe and departed. The
store was filled with smoke when the
doors were opened. The explosion
made, a great noise, and .dislodged some
goods from the shelves, and moved the
safe from it's place on the floor quite a
distance. Valley City and jamestown
polieei have been notified to look out
for the burglars. A brace and bit were
