They climbed down over the coal in

the engineer To start the train. This he
did and at almost the same moment a
series of shots sounded from the mail

When the pair on the engine had
done their work, the train pulled into

STATE TROOPS GUARD
PROPERTY AND PEACE
NEAR BELLOWS FALLS
RANDOLPH'S STOLEN
SAFE is FOUND
1t Was Discovered on Lonely Road
Leading to Bolton Noun

Randolph, July 30.-Slowly but sure.
ly the evidence is being gathered which
will lead TO the gathering in of the
whole band of criminals which have
been terrorizing this section of Yer
mont recently with bold robberies. The
latest link in the chain is the finding
Thursday by Railroad Detective G. L.
Hodge of the Central Vermont and De-
tective George Given of the American
Railway Express Co. of the safe which
was taken from the depot in this town
on June g. The safe was located on
the logging road leading to Griffiths'
sawmill en- route to Bolton mountain.
An axe was found near the safe, with
which the hinges of the safe had been
broken off. Most of the contents of the
>safe had been taken, including about
S3S5, although few papers were left
behind.
The safe and the axe were taken to
the Chittenden county Jail, where the
axe was later identified by Philip Hal
lock, farmer living on the main road
about two and half miles from Wa
terbury. as one which had been stolen
from his place during the early morn
ing of June 10, following the night of
the robbery
Hallock arose early that morning
and as he was going out of his house
about o'clock, he noticed three men
near mis- woodpile, one of them making
off with his axe. He gave chase, but be-
fore he could reach them, the men had
reached their car and were gone. 1t is
possible that Hallock will be asked to
identify some men who are suspected
of being connected with this robbery.
The safe, which was stolen from Ran
dolph depot, weighed about l25 pounds,
so that the thieves had very little trou-
BILE in handling it. The method used in
the theft may be recalled. One of the
thieves went into the depot on the eve.
ming OF June Q and asked the station
agent to look up some baggage for
him. The agent asked for the checks,
but the man said he had left them
and was very anxious to
get his baggage at once. The agent,
to give the best service posi-
BILE, went into the baggage room to
look for the mans baggage, and while
he was gone, two other men went into
the office, picking up the safe, car
ried it away.
The men must have then driven all
night, arriving at the Hallock place in
the early morning hours, and, after
stealing the axe, taking the out -of-the.
way mountain road and there breaking
open the safe
Although no statement has been Civ
m out as to the names of those con
'erned in the robbery. il is thought
hat some very definite information Is
n the hands OF the officials which will
'e brought forth at the proper time.
