YEGGs ATTEMPT TO ROB
CONTINENTAL STATION
TUESDAY MORNING
ROBBERS RoUTED BY THE CITY
MARSHAL IN THEIR ATTEMPT
TO STEAL SAFE

Yeggs broke into the Continental
Oil Station Tuesday morning about
2:30 a. M. with the intention of max
ing some easy money, but were foiled
in their attempt by the appearance Of
Marshal Brooks Mason on the scene.
Upon his arrival several shots were
fired, both by him and the robbers.
but evidently none took effect with
the exception of one or two that hit
the building.
The plan of the yeggs was evident
that they intended to steal the safe.
which was a small one, weighing in
the neighborhood Of 400 pounds, that
they intended to take out OF the back
window. They got it as far as the
window and were evidently disturbed
before they got it out.
The damage done by the would-be
robbers was small. being the breaking
of three window panes and breaking
lock off the inside door Nothing
else was disturbed or anything taken.
and. if they had got away with the
safe. they would have only got about
s35.0O. that being only part Of the
Mondays business.
Night providers have hard time to
get away with anything in Holyoke.
because Brooks is always on the job.
No trace Of the robbers could be
found with the exception of an over
coat with Denver trade mark on il.
and it is thought that they were out
of-town parties.
