", R. Linco|n's Office at
Brunswick Entered.
Several Sticks Of Dynamite
Left, Two In Office Stove.
Was Robbery or Desire 10 Blow Up
Place Object Of Visit?

Brunswick, Me-. Nov. 14.-(SpeciaD.-
When William r. Lincoln arrived at
his grist mill on Cumberland street this
morning he found the place in con-
siderable confusion. Lying on the floor
We're half q dozen sticks Of dynamite
The knob had been broken off the SAT-
and tho hinges were also missing. In
the Office drawers had been pulled open
and had evidently been searched. But
strange to say nothing was missing
except a ball of twinr and that WAS
later found under q box ear that stood
on the Enill siding
Mr.. Lincoln at once communicated
with Chief of Police Lincoln II. Colby
and Deputy Sheriff John Leonard. They
agreed that ii was best 10 keep matters
as quiet as possible and it was not until
the middle Of the aftrrn""n that the
news Of the break leaked ont.
The Gtiieers found that the would-h"
safe blowefs Han gained entrance to the
mill by pryihX q window open with a
crowbar. EAt6fssa door had also been
opened. With .sshatchet or heavy ham
:. mere TIE attempt had been made To
wreck the safe and then the men had
evidently been frightened away. before
they had Il chance to use the explosive
with which they had come laden.
;s,z But in the course Of their search tie
0faccrs made discovery. Hidden in
thr ashes of the stove. in which the
wood fire had gone out were tNC
sticks of dynamite. This has set tho
officers to guessing. the question that
has arisen being. did the mon break
into the mill with the intention of rob
bling the safe or did they intend to have
the place blown up when Mr.. Lincoln
started the fire this morning" 1t is;
thought by many that the damage done
to the safe was only Il blind To cover
up the fact that the mill had been
broken into and powerful explosive
placed in the stove. They might have
Thought that when Mr.. Lincoln dis
covered the sticks of dynamite lying
around on the floor that he would
think that that was all there were and
that the robbers had become frightened
away. but when he lighted the fire
and the heat reached the explosive in
the stove the entire mill would be
destroyed.
This is the third time that an at
TEMPT has been made to rob the safe
and as a result Mr.. Lincoln leaves no
valuables whatever in the building
when he closes it for the night.
