Tbe first knowledge of tbe theft waa

Effecting an entrance through tbe
back door of tne store, the safe-crackers,
whose work marks them as experts,
need two charges of nitroglycerin«, one
being discharged at 1:58 o’clock and
the second at 2. Several men who were
awakened by the explosion of ths first
charge, noted ths time.
Parts si tbe
sate were blown all over tbe premises,
the combination going through a front
window.
The burglars secured 3140 in one-
dollar bills, 3250 in five-dollar bills, 326
in gold, 3fi00 in silver, two seek • con

watches, two 32.50 gold-pieces on «1» k-

set with diamonds, a ruby ring, two

Stamps to tbe value of 32000 also in the
