I The safe m the postoffiee was blown about two o clock .Tuesday morning, the firet time 3n the history of the office although Jamestown, Yellow Springs and Selma have been blown many times. i *'K?eJ\'ork ,was that o f professionals in that burglary tools were found and the work of blowing was done by . nitro, something local, talent never cares to experiment with. So far as known there were five men in the party and probably a sixth at.the automobile that was sta­ tioned on North Main street. The discovery was made by Mr, Lloyd Confarr, who resides within a short distance from the .opera house on East Xenia avenue. Marshal H. A. Mcl-ean, was sleeping in the engine room and had been aroused by the men when they broke open the door. Lights were burning as usual in the mayors .office and for this reason Mr. . Confarr could cep two men standing patrol at that door. It was for this same reason that Marshall McLean could not get to the telephone in the office. While these two men were here two'others were at the end of the street watching from that direction. The fifth was on the inside. By special apparatus the knob was pulled on the safe allowing plenty of -room to poiir the “ soup" ready for the explosion. The report was distinctly heard by different people about town but as they had nothing o f this kind in mind there was no effort to locate the cause. Mr, Confarr was con­ vinced what was going on and. began firing his revolver, out the bedroom window.. The warning Bignal was giv­ en, and all the men took to a run around the corner North on Main Main street. ' , “ While none o f the men were prob­ a b ly hit yet the firing from the Con­ farr gun frightened them away be­ fore entrance was gained into the ..vault. No, time was taken to gather up the tools. It is evident that big money'was looked for as small change and some few stamps in an open drawer were not touched. It is said that the de­ partment following the Yellow Springs blowup has loolcpd for such an attempt here. .Had the men gain­ ed entrance they would have been dis­ appointed for Postmaster Turnbull following instructions had his stamps in another place of safety and remit­ ted his cash each day. tinder this plan the burglars -would - have , had slim pay fo r their night’s work. Experts have been ordered here to open the .vault door as no one here •cares to tamper with it, the nif.ro hav­ ing been spilled and ran down on the . floor under- the door*. -The records o f the postofiice being in the vault as well as, stumped paper made itlmpos-' sible to serve patrons Tuesday yet Mr. Turnbull lmd all" the stamps neces- MEMORIAL PROGRAM.
