THIEVES GET

some time during the early morning
hours today and was ransacked. Just
what the thieves got has not yet been
ascertained and will probably not be
until an inventory Of the station eff
fects is made. which will be done to-
morrow morning.
So far as known the only thing the
robbers obtained was the contents OF
the telephone pay station. There were
number of express packages in the
station. hut whether any of them were
stolen is not yet known.
The thieves made one attempt 10
break into the station by forcing a
shutter i'm the mems waiting room. but
did not succeed. They then turned
their attention to a window of the
station agents office. Here they broke
the lock of the iron grating. protecting
the window. and then broke the glass
over the lock. Entrance was then
easy. In addition to the money taken
from the telephone booth a bunch o
keys are known TO be missing.
The robbery was discovered by sta
/ ton Agent John r. Bittle when he
opened the building at $50 o'clock
this morning. There is no safe IN the
place. and everything of value, includ-
ing money. is taken home each might
by the station agent.
