This
place
, on
Rockland
Lake
, was the
scene
of a
bold
robbery
early
this
morning
. At
about
3
o'clock
the
citizens
were
awakened
by a
loud
explosion
,
which
proved
to be the
blowing
up
of the
safe
in the
Post
Office
.
Three
burglars
had
entered
by
forcing
the
lock
of the
door
, had
drilled
holes
in the
safe
, and by the
use
of
nitro-glycerine
had
opened
it
. They were
seen
by a
man
who
lives
in the
building
, but
threatened
to
shoot
him if he
gave
an
alarm
.
Citizens
near
by
reached
the
Post
Office
too
late
. The
tools
used
,
it
was
found
, had been
stolen
from a
blacksmith
near
by. The
thieves
had
taken
checks
,
money
, and
stamps
to the
value
of
$200
and had
got
clear
away
.
Some
men
saw
them
running
, but they
disappeared
in the
distance
, and as
yet
no
clue
has been
obtained
. "
