BUSY SAFE ROBBERS

- Burglars blew up a safe and wrecked the bank at Diagonal, Iowa, at 1 o'clock yesterday morning. Citizens were awakened
and opened fire, and the burglars left their tools and fled without securing any booty. A bottle of unexploded
nitro-glycerine is still inside the safe, and the bankers fear to open it.
