Burglary At Wilmington.
Burglars, apparently professionals
robbed the post Office in Wilmington
Tuesday morning, drilling into the
safe and blowing it open with nitro
gly cerine. They made a good haul
for country office, getting 5000 in
money and $500 worth of postage
stamps. Just what time the robbery
took place is not known, but residents
living across from the post office
building say they heard what seemed
to be a muffled explosion about
O'Clock, but it was not sufficiently
loud to lead them to suspect robbery
The burglary first became known
when Postmaster o. II. Jones went
to the Office at o'clock. He found
that the front door had been forced
and moment later he saw that the
safe, which was about three feel
square, had been blown open. A
hasty examination revealed the fac
that the money and stamps were
gone, also money orders amounting
to 500 and Postmaster Jones' private
papers, including insurance policies
notes, bank books, etc. The Will
mington officers were notified at once
and they made careful search fol-
clues but found nothing of impor
tance.
