Nitroglycerin was used by thieves in blowing coal yard safes at Columbia City early Sunday mornsafes were located in the Albert Walter Coal company office and the Neible and Ramp Coal and Ice company office, the offices being located just across the street, east and west, from one another. No loot obtained at the Walters yard and the thieves only got at the Neible Ramp yard, most of which in checks. Entry to the two offices was made by breaking glass the front door and releasing the lock. The safe doors were soaped to prevent the nitroglycerin from running out onto floor. No one heard the explosions. This probably due to the noise made at the city power plant, which is less than block away.
