Postoffice Burglary in Brookhaven Accounts for Loss
The Brookhaven post office was robbed last Sunday night with four to five hundred dollars abstracted. Entry was gained through the door panel and cross-bar, the old safe broken open by force. Thieves used tools from Penn's blacksmith shop, leaving an axe and other implements. Isaacs on Railroad Avenue reported about nine dollars in cash and thirty in goods missing. Government and Mrs. Tyler the postmistress lost part of their money, while two silver watches and stamps remained undisturbed. The burglary appears crude, suggesting local culprits, not professionals, possibly three or four men familiar with the area. The community intended to ferret out the culprits.
