SAFE IS ROBBED OF $32,000.

Burglars Loot the Dominion Bank in the Ontario Town ol' Napanee. Burglars entered the Dominion Bank at Napanee, near Kingston, Ont, and knowing the combination of the vault, opened it and stole $32,000. When the officials reached the bank in the morning they found the vault locked. The burglars changed the combination, and the manager of the bank thought that one of the clerks had made a mistake in locking the vault. An expert was brought from Toronto to open the vault and he occupied the whole day. In the meantime the burglars got a good start. In the evening about 7 o’clock the doors were opened and* the bank officials missed the money. Where the burglars got the information concerning the combination of the vault is a mystery. The National Liquor Dealers’ Association has decided to meet next year at Detroit.
