]. S. Nance's Safe Robbed.

The store of Mr.. ]. S. Nance
at Crawford was entered by
burglars last Friday night. and
his safe blown open and robbed
of it's contents. From the tracks
left by the burglars it is suppos-
ed that three men participated in
the robbery, and this theory is
strengthened by the fact that
one man purchased three tickets
for the sOuthbOund train on the
Mobile and Ohio railroad. which
passes Crawford shortly after
midnight, just about the time
that the robbery is supposed to
have occurred.
The burglars gained an en-
trance to the store by breaking
the paddock on the front door of
the establishment and evidently
made their exit through the rear.
as the back door was also found
open. A hole was drilled through
the top Of the safe and dynamite
inserted therein. The safe was
blown open and completely de-
molished. its contente being laid
bare for the offerings of the
thieves. Under ordinary cir
cumstances Mr.. Nance keeps a
large amount of cash on hand.
but o" last Friday he had cashed
a check for one of his friends,
and there was only about eight
dollars in the safe at the time
that it was blown open. This
money the robbers appropriated
but did not take away any mer-
chandise or modest any thing
else in the establishment.
The only clue to the identity of
the robbers is found in the fact
that one man purchased three
tickets for the southern train, as
stated above. The purchaser of
the tickets was a white man of
youthful appearance. So far as
can be learned his companions
were not seen during their stay
IN Crawford. From the manner
in which the robbers went about
opening the safe it is evident
that they were experienced
cracksmen. They evidently ex-
pected to make a big haul, but
were disappointed on account of
the fact that Mr.. Nance had dis
posed of most of his money in
cashing the check above referred
to.
