A safe combination was known, and $580 was taken. Harry Rose of Renovo alerted police, and nearby departments were notified. The money represented the day’s business, scheduled to move east on train 54 at 10:34. Authorities suspect a well known local with familiarity of depot conditions. Driftwood, Feb. 17.
