HAUL At NORMA

Kenmare, N. D., Feb. 1.-THE
Norma Implement & Hardware Co.
store was entered some time dur
ing Wednesday night, the safe
blown up with a charge Of nitro
glycerine and 500 in cash taken.

large safe was pried open by the
use of hammers and wrenches talk
en- from the stock, and a charge
of nitro drilled into the inner door

small change were left scattered
about the floor. The loss was not
