Burglarized Last Night
OFFICERS NOW SEARCHING
Only About $50 III Money and Stamps
Was Secured But Some Private
Papers of the Postmaster Were
Carried Away in Drawers.

The post Office at Mortified Falls was
bnrglaIized last night and the safe
blown open. About 500 IN money and
stamps was secured and two drawers
containing the private papers Of the posts
master were carried away, presumably
for a more leisurely examination. Sheriff
Tracy was notified, and he, with several
deputies III Barre, Montpelier and sur
rounding towns, and also States Attor-
ney Gates went to that village this morn
ing to investigate.
This IL the fourth or fifth time that
the Fails post office has been broken into,
the last occasion being August IL, 1905.
Never before, however, has the safe been
blown open as this morning. This leads
to the belief that it was professional
yeggmens who did the work.
About one o'clock this morning Miss
Annie Rich and Mrs. Pierson who live
nearby the post Office, which is situated
"a little off the main part of the village,
were awakened by three explosions They
attributed the noise To an earthquake
and were surprised therefore that the
building did not shake, Il. L. Cross, the
postmaster, who lives little further
away, aho heard sounds, which he
thought came from revolver. No in.
vestigation was made at the time.

Mr.. Cross went 10 the Robbins store, in
which the post office il located, ne found
one window smashed open with railroad
coupling pin, the sash and all being car
ried away. Later Deputy Sheriff H. D.
Camp traced this coupling pin and found
1t came from freight car on tie nearby
track
Inside the post Office Mr.. Gross found
"a disarranged state Of affairs. The rob
bers had used the coupling pin TO break
OF the knob Of the safe. Then they had
drilled holes and inserted nitro -glycerine
and cement. The floor and desk were
covered with debris, and the contents Of
the safe were removed largely. In the
two small drawers which the robbers
carried away was $40 belonging 10 the
money order department. on tie FIRST Of
the month from 500 to si0a in stamps
of smaller dimensions had been received
and little had been sold The stock was
all taken A blue book containing stamps
nf larger dimensions was not taken BY
tie robbers Nor did they carry away
six central Vermont mileage books and
tickets. although they scattered them
about the store. The postmaster also
found on the floor O half-buned fuse
United SKATES Inspector d. J. Rapp of

tors Of the act.

sAUCY NICARAGUA.

President zelaya Of Nicaragua APP
parently is taking a mean advantage
of the fact that Secretary Taft, the
political diplomatist of the administra-
ton at Washington, has engagements
that will keep him busy for several
months. Under such conditions, the
Nicaraguan president is openly refus-
ing to be satisfied with any peace prop
ositions offered by the United States
authorities looking 20 a settlement Of
the troubles growing out of the latest
Central American revolution.
The trouble arises over the refusal
OF Honduras TO pay the expense Of
being whipped by Nicaragua. Not salts
fed with achieving a victory over the
Hondurans and driving President Bo-
niIla into exile, the president OF Mica
ragua has filed a claim for indemnity
In which he asks Honduras to pay all
the expenses Of both parties TO the
contest. Honduras refused, and APP
pealed TO President Roosevelt. who ad-
vised Zelaya to make peace with Hon
duras and cut out the money consider
alton. zelaya answers with defiant
refusal TO modify his terms and init
mates that the Nicaraguan forces will
be marching on Washington unless
President Roosevelt backs down.
This business Of policing Central and
South America is getting TO be a pretty
big lob even for Uncle Sam. AS soon
as one insurreetion OF revolution is
suppressed trouble breaks out IN the
