Show POLICE AFTER SAFE CRACKERS Salt Lake, Nov. 6. The police dragnet drag-net is stretched across the city to ensnare en-snare the men who early yesterday morning blew the safe in the office of the Crager Iron works, 531 South State street, and escaped without leaving leav-ing clews for the officers to follow and without plunder of any value. At an early hour this morning the men were still at liberty. So swiftly and quietly did the men work that the robbery was not dis-cpvere'd dis-cpvere'd until F. H. Crager., manager of the works, opened the office yester-dny yester-dny morning. The force of tho explosion explo-sion shattered every window of the office and blow the safe to bits, but people in the neighborhood did not awaken. The night watchman who watches the place has about nineteen blocks to patrol and the cracksmen evidently selected a time when he was farthest away from the Crager office. Only about $1 in stamps was in the safe and the office papers wero not touched.' ,The work, at first reported to be that of experts, was later pronounced by the police to be an amateurish job. It is thought In some police circles that the gang who, several months ago, blew four safes on Eccles avenue and killed Special Officer Hargrove, did the work last night, but this could In no way be confirmed. The police are still working on the case and are on the lookout for known cracksmen that may be in the city. |
