Burglars At The Argo Mills

The office of the Argo Mills in the Northside, Ann Arbor, was burglarized last night and 81 cents secured. From all indications it was the work of amateurs. They gained an entrance through a front window which they pried up. They broke off the knobs of the safe with a big 150 pound iron shaft but could not open the door. They wrenched open the money drawer in the desk and found 81 cents which they took along. Maj. Stevens, the treasurer of the company, never leaves any money at night in the drawer or safe. All bank bills are taken out of the office. He had to send to the Detroit Safe Co., for an expert to open the safe as all the books are in it. The burglars evidently knew about the marriage of the bookkeeper Colin M. Stevens, and calculated that some one might forget to take the usual care of the cash.
