Nearly Robbed Safe.

On Tuesday night an attempt was
made to break into the safe at the
Folly Theatre. The outer door was
opened by working the combination
and the inner door was nearly de-
stroyed by the use of a chisel and
hammer. The whole job seemed to
be joke on the burgler, as it re-
quired only a few more ticks from
the expert who came to repair the
safe, to open the inner door, where
the receipts of the evening before
would have been available. No evil
dence was found where the yeggs en-
tered the Theatre and it is through
that they perhaps had secreted
themselves in the house during the
show. There is no clue.
