The ticket Office Of the Southern
railroad, at Humboldt, was broken
open and robbed Monday night, April
18th by burglars, who blew the COM
pany's safe to atoms and broke open
two large trunks belonging to strang-
ers. They obtained about 50 in silver,
which was about all the safe contained,
and it is not yet known whether any
thing was taken from the trunks or not.
The, door of the safe was blown out
and struck the ticket case, knocking
it into splinters. The tools used by
the burglars were left in the office, and
bear the stamp of c. Lander, a wagon
maker of that place, who says they
were stolen from him. Several per-
sons heard the noise made by the ex-
plosion, but the result was not known
until o'clock the next morning, when
the agent went to the Office. No clue
to the perpetrators has yet been OBJ
tanned.
