DUNMORE camp A burglary which appears to have been the work of professionals was perpetrated at the olllce of the Dunmore Lumber company, last night, when the ottlce was filtered and the safe cracked. Entrance was gained by forcing a side door. The large safe, containing a mimber of leases, contracts, and valuable papers, was left open last evening, and the contents of this were inspected and littered about the tioor. It probably took two explosions to take the door off, as two reports were heard by a resident of that vicinity, who paid no attention to them, laying their cause in another direction. The robbers were not disturbed at their work, as everything had been carefully inspected. The small safe contained only 80 cents in change and a glass cutter, and as far as can be learned these were the only articles taken from the olllce. No clue as to the identification of the robbers was left. Officers for the ensuing year were elected as follows: President, J. C. Tenant, Wilkesbarre; secretary, H. J.

DUNMORE camp A burglary which appears to have been the work of professionals was perpetrated at the olllce of the Dunmore Lumber company, last night, when the ottlce was filtered and the safe cracked. Entrance was gained by forcing a side door. The large safe, containing a mimber of leases, contracts, and valuable papers, was left open last evening, and the contents of this were inspected and littered about the tioor. It probably took two explosions to take the door off, as two reports were heard by a resident of that vicinity, who paid no attention to them, laying their cause in another direction. The robbers were not disturbed at their work, as everything had been carefully inspected. The small safe contained only 80 cents in change and a glass cutter, and as far as can be learned these were the only articles taken from the olllce. No clue as to the identification of the robbers was left. Officers for the ensuing year were elected as follows: President, J. C. Tenant, Wilkesbarre; secretary, H. J.
