amateurs FAIL TO
BREAK Theatre SAFE
Police Believe Boys Tried
Night Robbery of Ma
jeStic Theatre
ARE SCARED AWAY
WITHOUT LOOT

Slime time during the night thieves,
presumably boys, broke into the Ma
iestic Theatre, Market street above
Seventh. and made an unsuccessful
attempt TO break the safe. That the
work was by amateurs was evident to
the police today when they investi-
gated the attempted robbery. The
would-be thieves after gaining en-
trance to the theatre through the
doorway opening of Shipley street,
went to the second floor front of the
building where the theatre Office is
located. Here they started work on
the large safe, and while the safe
did not show any marks of drills,
the combination had been badly dent
ed and knocked on Il Is thought
that the thieves became scared while
at their work, as they left without
taking anything.
The attempted robbery was discover
ID at ESQ o'clock this morning by Rob
ert johnson, colored, ianitor al the
theatre. Johnson, as was his custom,
went to the theatre 10 work and on
going to the Shipley street entrance he
was surprised TO find the doors open.
On entering he saw at a glance that
,omeone had been in the theatre and at
once notified the manager, James n.
1inns Word was also sent to the po-
lice station and an investigation was
made.
No trace OF the thieves could be
found. however. As nothing had been
taken and the combination on the safe
showed that amateurs had been at
work, it is thought the attempted rob
berry was the work of boys.
BY breaking the combination OF the
safe. it was impossible for the manager
Of the theatre TO get into it and Walter
j. Hartlove, the locksmith, was sum
moned After working on the lock for
some time, the safe doors were opened.
