SAFE IS CRACKED Small Amount of Cash Is Secured —3$300 in Checks —— “ROBERTS FRACTURES WRIST Businessmen’s Smoker — Sonator Trumbull Undergoes Operation— Small Fire Yesterday—Forestville Ttems—Brief News. The safe in the office of the Stand- ' ard Oil company at Railroad street, was cracked open by what seems the work of experts, some time after 9 o’clock Saturday night, and early yesterday morning. The robbers were rewarded with a small amount r their efforts, there being but $25 in cash, and $300 in checks which were not indorsed. R. D. Smith, manager, discovered the robbery when he visited the office yesterday morning. He at once notified Con- stable Philip Marino, who went to the scene. Superintendent Egan of the state police, was in turn notified by Constable Marino. He looked the place over yesterday afternoon. special detective was detailed to case and he arrived today. The safe was left in the position found and nothing was touched until the arrival of the detective. En- trance was gained through a small window in the rear of the building, { which gave the thieves access to the The safe is in the west cor-: ner of the office against steam pipes on the wall.

This is the third time under the surgeon’s knife. combination and knob was chiseled | off, a large blacksmith taken from one of the tool houses nearby, was used. After removing these, the safe was tipped over, evidently by an iron bar, as marks on the floor and bottom of the safe show this. The bolts were released when the safe was tilted and the door was easily-opened. It was a little matter after that to open the inner door as well as the strong box. Nothing else was disturbed in the office. There is no burglar light burning during the night, and the cracksmen had good opportunity to work. The lock on the garage, where all the large trucks are kept; was also broken. It seems that probably the robbers were in search of a car but werc dissapointed in this. There seems to be no possible clues left by which to trace them, aud the clean job on :the safe gives evilence that the work was that of expert men. There i= never any large amount of cask left in over night, the majority of it being in checks. Fractures Wrist Charles Roberts of 176 West Main street, met with a painful accident yesterday morning, on the sidewalk in front of the Con- gregational church and fractured his right wrist. Mr. and Mrs. Roberts were about to leave for Hartford, and Mr. Roberts left shortly before on an errand at one of the stores, in passing the church, he slipped, and attempting to catch his balance, held his right hand out. He fell heavily breaking the wrist bones, Dr. Bull was summoned and advised his removal to the New Britain hospital. An X-ray was taken of the break and afterwards set. Dr. Fromen attended Mr. Roberts at the hospital. After the bone was set, it was found that a small splinter ‘had not been placed correctly against the bone and the wrist was broken again East Berlin Items Mr. and Mrs. R. O.
