entered the Maine Central station here
some time during Friday night, dyna-
mited two safes and escaped with more
than $1,000 In cash, and without leaving
any clew to their whereabouts or the
direction in which they fled. 1t is be-
licved, however. they crossed the Cana
dian boundary.
The break was discovered early Sat
urday when Michaei Gleason, the sta
ton agent. opened the station. One of
the safes blewn open was the property
of the railroad and contained money re-
ceived from the sale of tickets and
from freight receipts. The other safe
belonged to- the American Express
Company. The doors had been blown
off in 4 skilful manner. and the work
had Deen performed so we'll that no one
in the neighborhood had been aroused
by the detonation, although there must
have been two separate explosions. The
interior of the station was badly
wrecked by the force of the explosions.
In another part of the station was a
large safe belonging to the United
States government. containing customs
receipts, Beecher Falls being a port OF
entry. The burglars evidently over
looked this safe or were frightened
away before they had time to open it

Ernest Dalton of Chicopee," said Mrs.

and are not inclined to build hopes ON
false foundations.
Mrs. Russell said further:
my fathers name was John Dalton.
but whether he was the man who left
the big fortune, or a cousin. or no rela-
ton is entirely unknown to me.
This may seem strange. but I have
only the slightest knowledge Of my
father. He and my mother were mar
ried in Leicester, Eng. when both
quite young. They separated. my
father going into the British army and
to India and South Africa.

that my father had died in the army.
She rarely or never mentioned him to
her children and I know nothing about
him. or his relatives. my first recollec-
tons being of my childhood days in
Bridgton.

brother Ernest in Chicopee. from whom
we expect news shortly.
''While it may not be impossible that
the John Dalton was my father. it may
possibly he that he was a cousin. in
which case there are probably manv
heirs. and so there may not be much
coming to u.s.
The Russells are more inclined to the
opinion that the John Dalton is dis
tant relative. although they have no di-
rect knowledge that John Dalton. Mrs
Russell's father. is dead.
