three safes in the office of the street
railway company here early today of
for having overpowered the watchman
whom they bound and gagged. They
secured sveo on cash and a check for
$300 from the two sales. The third
safe which was not troubled, costumed
- about Soho in money. An employee of
the railroad company who heard the
sound of the explosion and approach-
ed tbc office was driven back with re-
volvers by the robbers. The men es
caped in a team and when the alarm
finally was given trace of them hat:
been lost. Later in the day, however,
they were heard of driving toward the
west and as the police of all the sur-
rounding country were notiziied early
hopes were entertained that the rob-
bers would be captured.
The office of the Street Railway
Company which was robbed was in
the car barns located about a mile and
a quarter out of the city. Three men
are usually on duty there at night, an
engineer. II mechanic and a watchman.
At about 2: 30 this morning the watch
man Edward Winn. was making his
rounds and was approaching the of-
office when he was seized around the
neck from behind by a man. While
he was firmly held in this position
another man pinioned his arms
brought them down behind him and
tied them. Then a gag was forced in-
to his mouth previous utterance hav‘
ing been prevented by the pressure
upon the throat. The other two men,
employed by the company being in
different parts of the establishment,
knew nothing of what was going oh.

watchman was pushed out of the room
and a moment later the charge in the
safe door was exploded. Then the
men went back into the office. taking
the watchman with them. immediate

floor and in a short time the discharge
took place. Then from without the
door the watchman heard the‘rattle
of silver coins. A few moments later
the men were ready to leave and df~

up the team " the others paused by the
captive watchman. Just then the ma-
chinist, who had heard the sound of
the explosion, came running up but
his advance was checked by the sight
of levelled revolvers and the com-
mand: “Now go back and don't be
foolish. "
Then the sound of wheels was heard
and the robbers hurried out and drove
rapidly away. Immediately Watchman

The Norwalks today are in the
hands of a real blizzard. which began
early this morning The snow is plied
everywhere and traffic of all kinds is
to a great extent impeded and even
the trains down the Dsnbnry division
have been quite late all day. The
street car track sweeper of the Con

service and has aided greatly in run-
ning the cars. None of the cars are
running on schedule time. The big
freight car of the Colea Electric Ex

Wall street barn this morning, but had
to return after trying for at least a
-half hour to climb the Westport hill.
The expressmen as yet are all out with
their trucks. No great damage has yet
been reported from the storm.
