WARDEN’S OUTING «\u A son of Mr. John O’Reilly, St. .Paul-st, stated this morning that he saw a strange automobile with the top up running along that thorough- fare several times last evening, and {it is believed by some that the crooks are travelling through the province in this manner. When TrainmaSter J. W. Anderson arrived at the station this morning they receiVed a life sized surprise on entering the ticket office. Everything was topsy turvy, and it looked as if several carpenters had been at work during the night making alterations. Portions of the door and the side pannelling were scattered about and the big 4,000 pound safe had disap- peared as if by magic. Out through the hall and ‘On through the ladies’ waiting room marks in the floor plainly showed that the safe had been hauled to the station platform. Mr. Anderson notified the. section- men .to patrol the track in search of the safe as it was feared it might be on the roadbed somewhere and easily cause a wreck or tie up traffic. Chief Short was then notified and he lost no time in reporting at the station and also visiting the spot where the safe was found. Herehe secured a number. of small drills, which had been used by the cracksmen. Trainmaster Anderson believes that the burglars worked at the safe near St. Peter-st r‘arbgnd about six ‘0"- clock this morning, and fihygtfie blows which the crooks rained on the safe (1001‘ were not heard .by some one in the vicinity is remark- able. I They battered the door to pieces, cutting the heaVy :screws in the hinges with the axe. Once the door was demolished it was an easy matâ€" ter to get at the contents. The burglars paid no attention to the papers, merely scattering them a- bout. It wais mOney they were after and they secured, it is believed, a- }:out $150.00. The mOst remarkable feature in (-Onnection with this daring burglary is the fact that it must have been committed when daylight was breaks ing. There is no night man at the 0 RR. station and the burglars there- fore had no fear of being molested in their Operatiom. But, how they (would move the door, etC., and haul the big: safe to the station platform without making sufficient noise to arouse residents in the immediate vi- cinity is a mystery. One of the sec- tionmen stated that on being arousâ€" ed from his slumbers ‘about four o’clock this morning he looked out towards the (3.13.11. tracks and saw two men in shirt sleeves shoving a lorry ‘ down the track. This incident did not arduse his suSpicion. howev- er,“ and he thought nothing more of it until apprised of the burglary; the door eonténts, The part theft are AAAINA BAAAAAAYAA AAAAA AA.

It was gone. Schelby had simply nipped it out of his pocket while he was talking to him. ' Evidently he would tackle selling almost anythixig anywhere. By cent-din papers he was selling a certain kind of furnace also. Mr. J. W.
