Professional Safe Robbers Take

& FIoren.

Floren & Benson's general store at
Pennock was burglarized last night.
the safe forced open. and a quantity
of cash taken. The burglars made
their entrance thru a side door. They
cut hole in a panel Of the door thru
which they had reached in and un-
hooked the latch. The work was evil
IDENTITY that of professionals. The safe
was opened with hammer. and other
tools, without explosives, and Mr..
: Benson says that 1T was a neat job" ="
The firm estimates their loss at about
800 in cash. the exact amount not
being known. There was no evidence
Of goods being taken. Not a soul in
the village heard or saw anything Of
the burglars and they made good
their escape. There was no one
sleeping in the store building. Two
strangers alighted from No. 8 last
night who have not been accounted
for, but it is thought that the bur-
glars had their own rig. Sheriff Bonde
was notified this morning.
