Safe Blowers Driven Off.

Wellington, Kan., dispatch: Safe blowers raided Milan, a small town six teen miles west of here, early In the morning and after entering every store of importance, among them the one in which the postoffice is located, wrecked the safe and fixtures of the Milan State bank with dynamite. Two doors were blown off the safe, but the third, on which was the time lock, resisted the force of the explosives and a score of men who had been aroused by the noise rushed into the streets with shotguns and drove the robbers away before they had secured much plunder.
