1925 From Grocery Store In
Kensington, Md.

Yeggs blasting a safe yesterday

The safe crackers, who escaped
In an automobile, entered q branch

The car In which the burglars
escaped was headed toward Wash

10 the police to be on the lookout
for them.
Some time ago the store was
looted and goods valued at hundreds
of dollars were stolen. Entrance
was gained yesterday morning after
fhe yeggs wrenched the lock off the
front door. They made no attempt
to deaden the sound of the ex.
plosion as is usually the case in
such robberies. The force of the
explosive, which is believed to have
been dynamite, blew the safe door
through the ceiling. The store was
partly wrecked.

will in all probability seek his

enmeshed in the affair is the young

PULLMAN, Mich. April 21.-The
most serious forest fire in many
years has swept through the scrub
oak and second growth of Allegan
county. north Of here, and now
threatens Bravo, with q population
of $500.
Several small homes already have
been destroyed, and families in the
burned area have had to scurry for
shelter. The fire 10 said to be fol-
lowing in many places the right of

1t is not known what damage may
have been done to the road.
The flames. which started Tues.

have devastated an area a mile or

day.
The territory, old white pine
country, now covered with second
growth and scrub oak, is sparsely
settled.
The futility of attempting to
fight the flames has been admitted,
and the only hope for Bravo lies
it is said. in a possible change in
the wind.
The sheriff's office at Allegan
said today that so far as is known.
no residents of the district have
been injured. It was believed at
Auegan that the comparatively
small width Of the area being burn
ed will permit OF easy escape to
either side Of the flame path.
