Safe-B!owers try their hands in

LABOR.

THEY GOT BUT LITTLE FOR THEIR NEFARIoUs
| LABOR.
For some time safe-blowers have been
operating along the line of the G. 81 o. Rail
way, and on last Friday night they tried their
hands on two safes in this city-one in the
Office of the Staunton Milling Company and
the other that in the hay and feed store of M.
| Kivlighan, two doors east. Mr. John Dinkle,
| the Waterman of the Staunton Milling Com
pany, went to bed in the office about 10
| o'clock, and when he awoke about l o'clock,
he was surprised to find two white men in the
office, one by his bedside with a lighted
candle in one hand and pistol in the other,
who told him to be quiet. They required him
to get up and take seat in a chair to which
they bound him with wires securely and
| fastened the chair to post, and then threw a
| blanket over his face. They asked Dinkle
| the combination of the safe, but he told them
| that he did not know it. They then proceeded
| to force it, in which they succeeded, by first
prizing open the outer doors, and getting the
inner open by drilling a hole in the lock and
using an explosive, which did not make a
| loud report. They got but about 50 in money
| and check for s67 on a Charlottesville bank
| They took Mr.. Dinkle's silver watch which
was on a chair by his bedside and S1.50
which they took from his breeches pocket
To prevent Dinkle from giving any alarm,
they gagged him by stuffing piece of a
towel into hi. mouth. They then left that
Office and went to the hay and feed store of
MI. NJ. Kivlghan, two doors east which they
succeeded in entering by prizing open the
doors. No one slept in this store. They tried
the safe, and succeeded in opening the outer
doors but failed to get open the inner ones, as
for some reason they did not use any ex-
plosive, probably because it was too late in
the morning, and they feared it might be
heard by persons passing. This safe con-
tanned S35 in money and number of checks.
They forced the cash drawer in the desk, but
got nothing. Mayor Fultz offers reward of
$3.50 for the arrest and conviction of these
rascals.

As we have been to a heavy expense to fur

we hope you will recognize the propriety OF
paying up all arrearages, and, also, aiding US
to increase greatly our number of subscribers
Many of you we have INDUCED for a long
time, and true reciprocity of favors would
require you to pay up all arrearages and as
far in advance as you are now in arrears; but
we do not ask reciprocity of favors, but only
what simple justice and common honesty
demand; and that is, that you pay what you
are nor olcing. Do this and get your friends
and neighbors to subscribe. Show them your
paper that they may see it and judge of its
merits for themselves.
