W. A. Buster,
Treasurer of Sonoma County, reports that the safe in which was deposited the
public funds, was robbed some time during last Sunday Evening. Of the
particulars of this affair, we are unadvised, other than by rumor. As near as
we can get at the matter, it would appear that at the time of the robbery there
was, or should have been. In the safe, from $13,000 to $14,000, all of which
belonged to the State, excepting about $1,200.-- That the robbery was
discovered about 1 o'clock, A. M., Sunday morning, by two acquaintances of Mr.
Buster's whom he was lighting to their rooms, and that his attention was called
to it by one of them remarking that the safe door was open. We further learn
that the safe exhibited no evidence of force having been used upon it, but on
the contrary went to show that it had been opened by a key. |
