Attempt Is Foiled To Rob Co-op Safe A safe cracker paid a vitt ttr the mill premises- of the 'Sea•. forth. Oo-op during Friday night or early Saturday morning when lin .was felled in an-'attem,pted robbery but badly damaged, the safe eseeedailY the door, Larry Murray, Egmondville, an employee at the mill, found the Me door open when he ar- rived for work or: (Saturday morning at 7,80. He notified the manager Lloyd Rowwtt who nati- hed the police, 0-. Rowatt told The News on Monday that they were well cov- ered by tbisuranee and that the safe would be replaced. Ile said he estimated the amount In the safe was not a great deal, per- haps $250, Ile (said no noticeable tire tracks had been found near the .building, and as far as he knew none of the neighbors had heard any prowlers around dur- ing the night. A single track leading across to the railway was found tread the rear door of the ' buiading which was somewhat tilled do with drrlt{bing snow. It is 'believed that the yegg en- tered the building some time af- ter 3.30 Sabunclay morning un- less he wee iu ,the building all night. Why he abandoned his tools and, left when he 'had the job nearly completed is not known. It is surmised that he was either frightened away dur- ing the dark hours, or had been unable to wait any longer as morning light was coming. • The tools lett behind were a heavy bar about two feet long something like a cement chisel, a cold chisel about none inches long, and a small sledge ham- mer. It would appear that this was a one maul job from the evildonee left behind, but there mai' have been a second man along as a. lecke lt. As neatly as can be de- eermined no vehicle was used close to the building by the rob- ber. - Local police said on Monday they had no definite leads ontlie case.
