SAFE CRACKERS & HORSE THIEVES, j
KellcltTille (Jets a Call an ISauor's
Safe is Blown ana Two Rigs Stolen.
It wes supposed that Forest county had
prety well cleaned out the horse thieving
gangs that have operated within her bor
ders for the past year and a half, but it
seems the thieves are not all in the peni
tentiary yet. Saturday night last thieves
thought to be three in number broke
into Charles Bauer's general store at
Kollettvillo, blew his safe open with
some sort of explosive. Had they turned
the knob the door would have opened, as
it was not locked. No money was kept
in the safe, but In the small iron money
chest in the safe there were a number of
papers, valuable only to the owner, which
was taken, evidently under the impres
sion it contained money. Several notes,
aggregating between $.",200 and $1,500 ia
value, Insurance policios to the amount
of $5,000 or $6,000, some deeds, and other
papers were in the small ches', most of
which belonged to Mr. Bauer, and some
tho propeaty of neighbors, who had been
allowed to put them there for safety
against fire. About $5 in money, some
jewelry and other articles were taken
from the store, valued at about $25, aud
then it is presumed the thieves went to
Wm. A. Kribbs' livery barn and' stole
two horses and two buggies, and drove
otf in the direction of Tionesta.
The discovery of the raid was not made
until 8 o'clock Sunday morning, when
Xtr. Kribbs and G. P. Green, owner of
one of the buggies taken, started in pur
suit of the thieves.
Passing through here Sunday after
noon they were led to believe by tue
track evidences that the thieves had gone
toward Oil City. When they reached there
they got werd that the horses and rigs
were found near Titusville. And there
is where they found them. On an island
at East Titusvillo the two horses had been
unharnessed and turned loose. A search
for the papers taken from Bauer's storo
revealod the fact that they had been
thrown In a pilo and burned.
Messrs. Kribbs and Greon returned on
Monday evening with their horses and
rigs complete. They brought with them
a cigar box filled with tho charred I a
pers, among which were many pieces
that were easily identified by Mr. Bauer.
The thieves ore evidently fond of their
"budge," for when they passed through
here between three and four o'clock they
made a brake into the bar room of the
Hotel Agnew and helped themselves to
several bottles of liquor and a box or two
of cigars. Evidences of those thefts were
found near where the horses were found.
