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.
