Hubbard. Sept. Blowing the safe
with dynamite, and securing 5000 in
stamps and s25 in cash, cracksmen
early this morning made successful
raid on the postoftice here. The burg
lars escaped either in an automobile
or on motorcycles.
Entrance to the postoffice was ef-
pried open. Miss Kate Frederick,
milliner who lives next door TO the
postoffce. heard a noise and, upon
looking out, saw a man in the dark
ness, back of the postoffice. Shortly
afterward townspeople were awakened
by the report Of the charge of dynamite
The safe door was blown to pieces.
Motors Indicate Escape.
Not long after the sound of the ex-
plosion was heard, an automobile motor
was heard as the machine was prepared
to start AT about the same time the
noise of motorcycle was also heard.
AS motor traffic early in the morning is
not common here, it is believed that
the burglars used either one or both OF
the vehicles as means OF escape.
Marshal c. A. Coram, who lives four
blocks away from the postoffce, was
not able to reach the scene of the oper-
atoms until after the thieves were well
on their way There is no clue. The
postoffce clock this morning was
shown to have stopped at 1880, which
was probably the exact minute OF the
explosion.
