five thousand Dollars stolen.[-One of the
most daring robberes of which we have ever
heard, occurred in the city of Columbus, Geor-
gla, on the 18th inst. On tie evening of that day,
Just as the officers of the Western Insurance and
Trust company of that city were about closing
the Vaults and bank for the night, three or more
persons entered the banking house in disguise,
secured the officers in such manner as to FENDER
them unable to give an alarm and then proceeded
70 rob the vaults. This they did, and then escap-
ed. AS near as can be ascertained, the following
amounts were taken SO, 900 in American and
Georgia gold; $4,000 in notes of Augusta Insu-
rance and Banking Company, Brunswick Bank,
Mechanlcs Bank of Augusta, and Bank of
l75 in Columbus Bank notes and other claims on
said bank; package of memoranda of monies
In the hands OF agents of the bank amounting to
2,4oo, various packages of special depostes, com
posed of 900 in notes of the Bank Of Charles
ton, $l4 900 in notes Of the Bank of Darien, Ga.
and $4,000 or $4,000 in various other bank
notes. reward Of $4,000 is offered for the re-
covery OIL the money, or proportionate sum for
any amount recovered, or for any information
which may lead to the recovery.
