County officers today are searching for clues that might lead to the arrest of burglars who some time during the night robbed the store of Zeb Vocharne(?) at the Roberta Mill, four miles southwest of Concord. The robbery was discovered about 4 o’clock this morning and although the officers have been at work on the case throughout the day, they have discovered no definite clues.
The robbers smashed their way into the store, carried off some articles and then made off with the safe. Theu used a truck or an auto to haul the safe, which was found this morning just beyond Rocky River on the Roberta Mill-Harrisburg road.
Between $175 and $200 was in the safe when it was stolen, and this was carried off by the burglars who smashed open the safe before deserting it.
Persons living in the mill village did not hear the robbers and the exact hour of the burglary therefore is not known. Sheriff Caldwell was called at 4 o’clock this morning and advised of the robbery and he immediately started an investigation.
