A GOOD HAUL
BURGLARY AT RAILWAY STATION. EXPLOSIVES USED. (Per United Press Association.) Waipukurau, November 22. Late last night or early this morning the railway station was burglariously entered by means of forcing a window from the platform. No doubt an expert had been at work, as explosives were used with success in forcing open the large . safe, the inner casings being blown into a tangled mass. A luggage sack was used to deaden the sound and the fuse was applied to the keyhole of the safe. Two cash boxes are missing containing cheques and notes for a substantial amount and also silver and £4 in pennies.
