BURGLARS blew
THE SAFE Open
SWIFT & CO.'S PLANT AT cLARks.
BURG WAS ROBBED, BUT NO
MONEY WAS SECURED.

CLARkSBURG. W, Va, May o.
The safe In the Office Of Swift & Co.,
at the corner Of Ohio avenue and
North Third street, was blown open
Tuesday night by burglars. The loca.
tion of the establishment places ii out.
side of police protection and the mat.
ter was not discovered until this morn.
Ing. when the Office force went TO
work.
The building was locked TIP as usual
Tuesday night. Yesterday morning
the company's drivers went to the
place about S o'clock and noticed that
the office door was open. They
thought that some OF the clerks had
arrived early and paid no attention
TO Il. Later, when Mr.. Cox, the book.
keeper, arrived. he discovered the burg.
iary.
The safe lay in n heap on the floor,
with the bottom out Of II. The singu.
lar and fortunate thing about II was
that the inner compartment Of the
vault. which contained the money,
was left intact. After blowing the
safe the crackmen had twisted n
knob from the inner compartment and
had evidently been frightened away.
No money was taken. The only loss
suffered by the company was the de.
structlon Of the safe and the damage
TO the room, which had holes knocked
into 1t by the flying fragments Of the
safe, and two revolvers which the mis-.
ereants found In the Office.
The parties left their shoes and somn
soap in the office and these were the
only clues from which the bloodhounds
took their scent. Morrison, of Mounds.
Vile, arrived here at 1880 o'clock
from TunneltOn With his dogs. They
struck the scent and went around the
north end OF the building and then to
the railroad In the direction OF the de.
pot, circled the depot several times,
thence across Baltimore street to the
Koblegard Wholesale house, and back
to the depot again. Mr.. Morrison took
the dogs back to the beginning and
they followed the same course. This
led the authorities 10 believe that the
guilty parties took a train and left
town.
The police think that this Is the
same gang that operated here last
February. This Is the third attempt
to crack this safe and the first sue
cessful one.
