was made to rob the safe of the
Durham Light & Power company,
and the robber was disturbed in
the act, but from the work he
had accomplished it made little
difference a3 he would have been
busy a long time before he could
have done anytting the way he
was getting along. He was try

ing off the hinges with a hack

Mr. Sligo, the manager, hap
pened to be down the street

when he found the fellow, who
immediately made his escape.
The company do not pretend to
keep any money on hand in this

knew little about the situation.
