BOLD SAFE ROBBERY
IN CORDOVA
When the employees of Hie
Japanese res!urant on First
.reel arriver at. the store this
morning about six o'clock
they found that an attempt
. <ad dicen made to Mow open
lie safe during the night, anil
the contents .of the cash reg
ister had been stolen. All the
money in the cash register ex
cept the nickles and dimes
were taken amounting in all to
bon! 815.00.
Deputy Marshal Brigliiwell
was summoned and made an
examination of the safe and
Hie premises. The robber or
■obbers entered the restaurant
hrough the rear door, evi
tentlyby means of a pass key.
The combination knob of Hie
safe had been knocked off,
• 1 ni'ro-glyeerino poured in
'o it. The edges of the door
nd the hole where the knob
had been were then made aii
gli! with «oap and Hie explo
re fired. The charge Vas
ither defective or nol enough
id been used for it did nol
icceed in blowing the door
■ff the hinges.
Sacks of foodstuffs had been
oiled on the .afe to deaden the
mind of Hie explosion. The
ernetator.s of the deed must
' ave become discouraged at
heir failure to crack the safe
”i 'lie first trial for they went
way leaving the contents in
let. Over two hundred dollars
n cash was »in the safe.
An examination of the sof.
vas made this morning b\
