CRACKSMEN AT WORK The office of the Welliver Hardware company was the scene of a daring safe robbery Thursday morning. Tlio cracks men after successfully opening the safe got away with booty representing in cash checks and notes, over one thousand dollars. The offices are in the eastern end of the big warehouse situated on Church street at the D. L. & W. railroad. The safe crackers showed considerable familiarity with the premises. They gained admittance by forcing open a window on the second story at the roar of the building. To reacli the window they climbed to the roof of the long ouo-story annex built at the rear of the warehouse proper. Thurs day morning a short ladder,brought to the spot by the burglars, was found ly ing under the platform at tlio door of the annex, where goods are loaded and unloaded. This ladder had been utiliz ed by the robbers in getting to the top of the building. Marks of their feet on the tin roofing could be detected, where they had made their way along to tlio rear window of the warehouse proper. On the window frame may be seen the marks of a jimmy that had been used to good elt'eet, the lower sash having been forced upward un til the patent fastening gave way. The robbery was committed about three o'clock Thursday morning. At that hour people in the immediate vic | iuity were aroused by a loud report. Tim noise was attributed to an explo siou of iron in the Danville rolling mill and no alarm resulted. It remain ed for George Gross to literally catch j the robbers red-hamled and to report | the affair in such good time that the j officers were enabled to get on the trail of the cracksmen before they had escaped very long. Mr. Gross, who was working on night turn at the Danville rolling mill, was returning to his home about 3:20 o'clock Thursday morning and had reached a point on the D. L. & \V. track just opposite the large ware house when he was surprised to see two men leap to the ground from the large side door, which was wide open. A third man suddenly materialized, stepping between the two men and Mr. Gross, not more than four feet from the latter. Had there been any doubt as to the character of the men it would have been dispelled as they jumped to the ground by the tell-tale clink of coin, which came from the in side of a box that one of them held under his arm. Mr. Gross believing that prudence was the better part of valor did not tarry to interview the men, but got down town quickly as possible, where lie related what had occurred to Night Watchman Lewis Byerly and W. E. Young,after which lie called upChief of-Police Miucemoyer. Lewis Byerly called out Officer Voris, while Night Watchman Young aroused W. W. Wel liver, member of the lirm that had been robbed. When Mr. Welliver entered the offices of the company the rooms were still full of smoke. The cracksmen had done their work well, demonstrating that they were no novices. One of the double doors of the safe was shattered to pieces, the interior being fully ex posed to view. The plan adopted by the cracksmen was to break off the combination and also the knob or handle of the door. Through the small round aperture produced nitro-glycer ine or some other high explosive was poured,the joints having been careful ly closed with soap. The office presented a woeful ap pearance. Fragments of the safe door, lay scattered about. The walls ami furniture were bespattered with soap, which was shot 111 all directions when the explosion occurred. The safe was entirely rifled of its contents. The drawers and the frame that supported them are badly shatter ed and splintered. Tlio covers of sev eral of the books are mutilated al though the leaves are intaot. The money drawer contained less than twenty-five dollars in cash and this is all the safe blowers secured that will be of any value to them. The safe contained notes and checks amounting to nearly or quite a thou sand dollars, all of which were carri ed off. That the robbers will be able to realize anything 011 the notes and checks stolen is not at all probable al though the loss of the paper will be felt by the Welliver Hardware com pany, which will be put to endless trouble in securing duplicates. As described by George Gross the three men were of unequal height,one bieng a rather portly fellow. The tall est wore a long overcoat.
