INTO AND SAFE IS ROBBED

The safe in the Roysdon & Son
lumber yard was broken open either
Saturday or Sunday night, and over a
hundred and fifty dollars stolen. So
lar no arrests have been made, but
it is understood some promising clues
have been found.
The robbery was not discovered un-
til Monday morning, and so it is not
known whether the thieves visited
the place Saturday or sunda, night
The Murdo garage was also broken
into, but nothing had been disturbed
ana It IS supposed this entry was made
IN order to get suitable too4s with
which to break open the lumber yard
safe, as when discovered the oombina-
ton had been knocked off the door.
