Cateeohee Post Office Robbed.

Central, May 1.-THE post office at
Cateechee, few miles from here, was
robbed last night and about 800 in
stamps and a small amount of cash &C.
cured by the robbers. ct this place the
Norris Cotton Mills are located and the
Office accommodates a considerable CON-
munity. The work seems to have been
much similar to the robbery of the office
here some weeks ago and evidence points
in one or more ways that it must have
been members of a similar or the same
gang.
The cash drawer was taken away some
distance, where it was thrown down.
The evidence is that the men went at the
robbery in great hurry. The authori.
ties are endeavoring to strike some trail
of the men, but so far nothing has been
accomplished.
