pool-room and saloon. The safe. which
weighed about 415 pounds. was AT the

dow. Tho safe was rolled to tho door by
which they entered and presumably
loaded into team People residing in
the house in the rear claim to have
heard some noisc about $3.50 O'Clock in

tention to it. People residing upstairs
declare that they heard no roisc at all.
Chief OF Police Barber was notified

force that tho casing was broken for
about three feet The door On tho Inside

with a lock and bolt. and the force Of
the entrance here sent the screws which
held the bolt to the further end of tho
room Nothing was left In the place that
would give the officers any clue to work
