$3.50 in Cash and Two 500
Liberty Bonds Taken From
ut 2a&Oil Company Safe f
LANGDON ICE CREAM -!
PLANT is ALSO VISITED
Blood Marks in Both Places;
Jobs Believed to Be Work
of Professionals

Evidently working on the assump-
ton that the pickings would be easy
and the harvest large since the banks
had been closed since Saturday noon,
safe-crackers visited the office of the
Standard Oil company early this
morning and secured about $3.50 in
cash and two 500 Liberty bonds
after blowing the safe with nitro
glycerine. So.
The clock in the office was stop
ped at 2:45 this morning and this is
the same time that passengers ar
irving on the early morning train
heard an explosion which they were
sure was more than part of
Fourth of July celebration. ~
A number Of checks which were
in the safe were not taken. The
two Liberty bonds were taken from
an envelope which also contained two
discharge certificates which belonged
to members of the local office force
and which were placed there for safe
keeping. The discharges were not
taken.
The Langdon Manufacturing plant
was also visited, soon after the other
visit, it is believed. Nothing of any
value was taken from this plant, the
unlocked safe containing little else
than a number Of checks which were
carefully looked over but left.
That both jobs are the work of the
same men is the opinion of the Off
Gals of both companies as we'll as
the police, since bloodmarks were
found in both places. Evidently one
Of the robbers was injured in some
way when the Standard Oil company
safe was cracked. The safe blowing
at the oil conipany's Office Is believed
beyond doubt to be the work of ex-
perts in that line, since the manner
in which the door was blown off show
ed experienced hands had turned the
trick. H.
Entrance at the oil conlpany's Of
flee was gained by breaking a VIM
dow in the office. A side-door was
forced open at the ice cream plant.
The police department is on the job,
but with practically no available clue
as yet, the chase appears to be a blind
one. The only clue as yet reported is
the finger marks on the glass from
the broken window at the oil COM
pany's office.
