ATTEMPT TO BLOW
OPEN THE SAFE
Postoffice at LAGRANGE Was Entered
But Robbers Were Frightened
Away.

LA GRANGE, Mo-, Aug. 3.-An ur-
successful attempt to rob the safe OF
the postoffice here was made during
the night of July 2S. During heavy
rainstorm the would-be safe breakers
entered the building by breaking the
glass in south door and then reno
ing heavy bar and paddock. They
then went to work on the safe but lett
without accomplishing anything. Just
as they were apparently ready to blow
the safe, the robbers were frightened
away, leaving everything in their
haste to prevent their capture. As a
matter of fact, no one had detected
their presence in the building and il
was not known that the building had
| been entered until morning. When
! Postmaster Klusmeyer came to the
! building he found the broken door ano
when he entered the office, he found
four ounce bottle of nitro -glycerine
and box of dynamite on the safe
I The safe was not damaged.
4 A similar attempt to rob this safe
was made on April 81, just threc
months ago. Government detectives
/ are investigating, but it is not known
whether they have a clue.
