The Safe Blower Visits City

Last Monday morning between
three and four O'Clock the safe in the
Trego Mercantile Store was blown
and sixty eight dollars taken.
Whether there was one or more par
ties concerned in the robbery of
course is not known. Who ever com
pretty well acquainted with the lay
of the land before undertaking it.
A brace was taken out of Harry
Richards shop and a bit out of E.
D. Beason's shop the party or parties
then went to the j. J. Keraus hard
ware store and broke in and stole the
powder for the job.
The enterance TO the Trego Store
was from the rear. The amount of
powder that was used caused heavy
explosion which was heard by several
people who gave it no thought as be-
ing connected with anything of that
nature. The door was blown COM
pletely off and the safe badly
damaged inside. Mr.. q ford says it
is unusual that the store kept any
money in the safe but on Saturday
after banking hours he thought the
money would be safe until Monday
morning. but hereafter no risks of that
kind will be taken. A strange circum-
stance in the case is that there was
some money in the drawer at the j.
!. Keraus Hardware store and at the
Trego store which was untouched.
The whole matter looks as though it
was the work of non-professional
and so far no clues have been traced.
