Attawaugan compsny's Safe Cracked -$4oo or $500 Secured-Three Men in
 Big Auto Suspected-Georss L. Lyon
 Resigns After Forty Years Service.

Burglars cracked the safe in the mill office of the Attawaugan company, in the village of that name, early We'd nesday morning, and got away with between S400 and $500. The neatness with which the opening of the safe was accomplished would indicate that the men who did the work were famil- jar with the use of explosives. The break was not discovered until the office, which is located over the com- pany's store, was opened for business Wednesday morning. Notice of the af- fair was immediately sent out, but no trace of the men could be obtained. The money they secured was in envel- opes and was to have been used to pay operatives of the mill Tuesday is the regular pay day for the Attawau- gan company, and the greater part of the weekly payroll had been distribute ed on that day. the money which the burglars got being due to operatives who had not called for their pay or failed to secure it for other reasons.
 The safe was opened by the cracks men about 1.20 Wednesday morning; at least the office clock stopped at that time. probably because of the first explosion. of which there were four or five. The explosions were subdued, but were heard by residents in nearby dwellings. although they did not inves- tigate the cause. There is good reason for believing that the safe was opened by the same parties that are responsi- bfe for the Taftville postoffice job. and the robbery of F. l. Rasine's store at Plainfield. A strange touring car in which the cracksmen are accredited with operating has been running back and forth between Danielson and At tawaugan for the past few days, and was in the vicinity of Attawaugan on Tuesday night, and also in Dayville. Three men have occupied the car whenever it has been seen.
 While the break at the Attawaugan mill was fairly successful, 1t might have been more so. Tn their haste the money. one envelope in particular con- taining oyer $50.
