Station on Jefferson Street 'Peninsular" Stoves and Steel Kjuiges at Low Clearance Sale Prices Fifty Models 16 SECURE BUT LITTLE CASH Select Time When Watchman Is Away, Work Quickly, Dynamiting Safe, and Make Their Escape Without Leaving Clews. Robbers dynamited the safe In the Jefferson-street depot of the Southern Pa cific Company about 12 o'clock last night and secured between 575 and 5100 In money and three checks for email sums. The cash and checks were In a wooden box, which the criminals carried away with them. They used excellent Judg ment, selecting from several the one with the coin, and leaving those in which were kept nothing but papers. The Eafe was wrecked. The police were noti fied by Night "Watchman Merrill and started an Immediate Investigation. Ticket Agent O. A. Sinks was summoned from his home, and after reaching the scene of the crime, stated the amount taken was not more than 5100. There Is no clew to the perpetrators. The trick was perpetrated while Nlghtwatcfaroan Frank Merrill was making his rounds. In addition to the depot building itself, Merrill has charge of the company's property as far south as the roundhouse, three blocks distant. Everything points to the fact that the robbers executed the Job strictly according to set plans. The last train, for Oswego, leaves the depot every night at 11:30. "Watchman Merrill usu ally, makes his rounds Immediately af ter. Therefore, it appears that the criminals had familiarized themselves with the surroundings, had become ac quainted with the workings of th place, and prepared for Quick action about midnight. The robbers arranged the charge of powder so that the explosion made vary little noise. The robbery was not dis covered until "Watchman Merrill, re turning from his rounds, went Into the building and found it full of smoke. Hasty examination revealed the demol ished safe and the scattered contents. Just as the patrolmen of the second re lief were reporting on duty at head quarters, the notification of the robbery was received. Acting Sergeant Carpen ter and Policeman "Wilson were dispatched to the scene, and made an Investigation. Detective Day also went to the depot and examined the place. None of the tools used for such a Job were left, but In their haste to escape, the robbers left two 520 gold pieces on the floor of the Eafe. The safe Itself was completely wrecked, the heavy door being blown across the room and the boxes inside scattered about in great confusion. CONCORDIA CLUB TO BUILD.
