AMATEUR SAFE CRACKERS
Ruin Safe But Get Nothing For
Their Work

Evidently some novice 81
safe-cracking forced entrance
through a window to the office
of the warehouse of S. M. Ward
Co., in this town, Friday night,
and made an unuccessful at
tempt to open the safe.
From the tools left behind it
was discovered the would-be
safe cracker had entered the
garage of H. M. Duyckinck, just
across the railroad tracks, and
secured hacksaw and blades,
with which the hinges of the
warehouse safe had been sawed
off, but the safe could not be
forced open. The combination
knob had also been broken off.
That the burglar gave him
self a lot of unnecessary work
is shown from the fact that the
combination to the safe is al
ways left hanging on the knob,
the safe being used as a protec-
ton to the books of the firm in
case of fire. The thief carried
off the paper with the combina-
ton on it, but left the envelope,
evidently having tried the COM
bination but failed to be accu-
rate with it.
Nothing was missed from the
office, nor does anything but
the tools appear to have been
stolen from the garage.
The safe was practically
ruined, the firm being compell-
ed to purchase a new one.
No clue leading to the iden-
tity of the craftsman has been
found.
