DARING ROBBERY!
This morning between one and

an - Iron Chest, containing notes of
hand and due bills, to the amount of

‘together with sundry other papers
In the chest there were also bank
bills, specie and gold, to the amount
of eleven hundred and fifty-six dollars,
making in all #fteen thousand one hun-
dred and fifty-six dollurs. ‘The rob-
bers entered the east window of the
store which was opened by the use of
a screw auger, by boring through
‘near the bolt of the window, by which
means they were enabled to remove
the key from the barr, when free ac-
cess was then had to the stove,
There must bave been two or three
concerned in this theft, as the iron
chest is 100 heavy for any one man to
