Supreme officers will be present at that time to conduct the installation. An attempt was made to rob the Fullerton postoffice some nights ago but the thieves were evidently frightened away. Postmaster Edwards had several hundred dollars in the safe, but this was not molested, as the robbers could not open the safe. No explosive was used. A crowbar was used upon the door, but apart from a number of dents on the safe door no damage was done. It is thought to have been the work of an amateur.
