The thieves pried off a window in the back shed, and, breaking a light of glass in the door leading to the store, drew the bolt and gained an entrance.

Passing a box of tobacco, they paused long enough to to help themselves to a. considerable quantity, after which they proceeded to the safe, but that was securely locked, and having satisfi- ed themselves that there was nothing to be got there, they made their escape.
