Colfax Post Once Robbed.

OO1I8X t>O8C Olucc ltOUOcOs
Our citizens awoke last Wednesday
morning to learn that the iron safe
in the Colfax post Office had been
blown open with nitro-glycerine and
robbed. The robbery created quite q
sensation, and soon the sheriff and
his deputies were out ON the hunt for
the criminals. One or two arrests
have been made, but SO tar the guilty
parties have not been caught.
Investigation showed that the door
Of the iron safe was blown Oh and the
office pretty generally wrecked, the
thief or thieves having evidently used
an unnecessarily large amount Of the
explosive. Several parties claim to
have heard the explosion between 1
and 2 O'Clock. but no one got up to
see whatit was. and the robbery was
not discovered until about O'Clock.
kilograms were sent out in all d.
rectiOns. and In response to the infOr-
nation, Detective Lake Jones, of New
Orleans, arrived here Wednesday
evening to Investigate the situation.
The robbers got about 800 in all,
1924 being post Office money, and
about $75 belonging to Postmaster
VIM. LaCroix individually. There
was several hundred dollars In parish
scrip and postage stamps in the safe,
besides the books, which the thieves
did not disturb. They evidently were
familiar with Treasurer LaCroix's
movements, and probably expected
to swipe 5000 which he brought up
from Alexandria Tuesday night For
tunately Mr.. LaCroix deposited the
$500 In another place for the night.
and 30 none Of the parish money was
stolen.
The following reward Is offered and
description of the thief given:
