Burglars descended upon the vii

the safe and took something over
500 in money, two gold watches and
two silver watches. They mastered
the combination in some way, and
did not use explosives.
The miscrcants broke into the
Great Western depot and took what
money there was in the drawer,
which was only lifty-three cents. They
tried to break into Jolnson's gro.
Gerry store, but were unable 10 effect
an entrance, or were frightened away.
There is no clew to who the thieves
were, but the officials of the village
called up the police station in this
city this morning and asked whether
there were any blood hounds here
that could be used to track thieves
They were informed that there are
none in the city.
