TWO ELEVATORS AT REMINGTON ROBBED

Amateurs Get Small Booty For Hard Work—s 32 From One Elevator and $3 From Other. Yeggmen, apparently of the amateurish variety, visited the two grain elevators in Remington Monday night and used tools stolen from the Jordan blacksmith shop in entering the safes. At the Farmers' elevator they hammered the doors with sledges and succeeded in getting $32 in money. The safe of the Kelly Grain Co. is not locked, money in only very amounts being left in a ssmaflt drawer which is kept locked. This drawer was broken open and $3 taken. Postage and internal revenue stamps and one endorsed check were not taken, leading to theibelief that the deed may have been performed by local talent. The nightwatoh did not see or hear the burglars and the first evidence of the visit occurred when the elevator men went to thg grain offices in the morning.
