NEW MARTINSVlLLE.
Postoffice Scene of a Daring
Robbery Tuesday.
Nearly Five Hundred Dollars Secured -
Reward Offered.

Following on the postofice rob.
berry at Uniontown last week.
comes the postoffice at Martinsville,
which was broken into last night,
,afe blown open and $500 IN post
age stamps and $50 In money Sc
cured. The robbers gained an en-
trance by prying open the window
In the rear OF the building. Nitro
glycerine was used to blow the
safe open and the work was neatly
done. Enough of the liquid was
used to burst open the safe and
plainly showed the work of ex-
perts The force of the explosion
could be distinctly heard by the
citizens residing In that part of the
city, but nothing was thought of 1t
at the time, until the people awoke
this morning to find that the post
Office had been robbed while they
lay asleep. The safe was blown
open between the hours of and 2
this morning. After securing
the stamps and the money,
they hastily made their way
from the building In the same man
ner that they entered. A buggy
belonging to John Witten was
standing on the street, which they
took and rapidly made their way
out of town. The horses and buggy
were recovered this morning at
Woodland, this side of Powhatan.
They crossed the river here and
made their way for some point up
the river. The horses had been
hard pressed and were In a jaded
condition when recovered. A post
Office inspector arrived this morn
Ing and after going overssererything
found that $500 In postage stamps
and $50 In money was secured. A
large reward has been offered for
the apprehension of the robbers
They went In the direction Of Bel
laire, Ohio, where 1t IS expected
they will be captured. 1t IS thought
TO be the same gang that robbed
