 the break. Only the timely arrival of Officer Wolf prevented the successful carrying out of the biggest robbery in this town in years.

 From the burglars viewpoint, it was a
 hard luck job, for they had done their
 work and were all ready to make off with
 the loot when the officer arrived. As in
 dicatings how near they were to getting
 away it may be mentioned that they had
 locked the door through which they had
 entered and taken out the goods, locked
 it from the inside, and gone out through
 the window from which the screen had
 been partly torn away. In another ten minutes clothing and men would have
 been gone and. loss of nearly SG,000
