Monday night burglars entered the harness shop of P.M. Stevens and blew open the safe. They had to use two charges before they could get into the safe. The only secured about $16, two of which belonged to the local camp of the Modern Woodmen of America, Mr. Stevens being treasurer. The robbers secured the dynamite at the stave mill, the foreman there missing three pounds the next morning. The secured a bit stock from Uncle George Andrews' blacksmith shop, and showed their honor by returning it to its place. A package of dynamite was found rolled up in a roll of leather. It was evidently the work of amateurs and not a slightest clue to their identity.
