tifying them of the break and soon
there was crowd of excited residents
of North Bradford gathered 1T The
store. A. W.. Turner and II. l.. Dole
who live near the Humphry place, and
Deputy Sheriff Gerry, heard the exIlo-
sion and the three shots which follow
ed. They Immediately dressed and went
out to investigate. They arrived very
shortly afterwards and learning that
the mer had started in the direction of
Bradford Center on the road to Ban
gor., they followed them nearly a mile
bur found no tangible clues and were
obliged to abandon the search.
After the arrival of Deputy SprOul 4
more thorough investigation was made
1t was found that the store had been
entered by the front door. The bur
glars had bored holes through the lock
and had attempted to force an entrance
this way bat they had bored around the
wrong lock. Then they took piece of
iron and forced the doors. Knocking
the combination knob and the handle
from the safe door, they poured nitro
glycerinc into the hole left by the
knob and handle. They then attached
Il fuse to The safe and covered it with
blankets and empty meal bags to dead
en- the sound and prevent the frag-
mepts If steel from flying. The force
of the explosion besides effectively
opening and running the safe broke the
glass in the window in front of the
store. The drawers containing the
money were forced out with a jimmy
and the burglars carried them away
with them.
1t is claimed that the men came from
La grange in a team about midnight
and STOPPED at the house of Frank w.
King who lives on the Lagrange road,
and entered the barn, taking several
lap robes and empty meal bags, which
they used in blowing the safe A little
further along the road they entered
the blacksmith shop of Isaac W. Hall
through an open window and took
large iron rasp and bitstock which We're
found in the Humphry store in the
morning. Tracks Of the team where
they had driven up TO the two places
were easily seen in the morning.
The three men. it would seem must
have driven down the road toward
Bangor and left their horse and return
ed to do the job for neither Mr., nor
Mrs. Humphry saw or heard anythllS'
The whole countryside has been mouth
ed of the break and are on the lonk-
out.
In the safe there were 5000 which be-
longad to Mr. Humphry and Sloo'
which was the property of his father
in-law. Luther Gerry. 1926 in stamps
and $50 in cash belonging to the post

Humphry intended to go away
Wednesday and left the cash out Of the
safe for Mr.. Gerry. who was to take
charge of the store for the day. All of
this money was taken rs we'll as the
notes an mortgages. Among the pa
pers was an order on the town of La
grange for $40.
The town Of North Bradford is
stirred up as never before and there
was great excitement over the break.
TIL officers have hardly any clue on
which to work and it seems doubtful
if the perpetrators of the crime Will he
