Stolen from the Safe.

fhe safe in the post office at Sen.
eca was blown open early last F'rida,
morning. 1t is thought to be the

There were several registered pack
ages in the safe and these were ri
fled, but 1T is impossible to tell the
value of the contents.
Four men were arrested Friday
afternoon, suspected of having some
thing to do with the robbery. They
claimed to be connected with the
carnival company, then showing at

They were sentenced, however, to 80
days on the gang for vagrancy, and
all four were put to work at once

the case.
Chief Harbin located a lot Of valu-
able papers, consisting of deeds,
notes, ETC., belonging to Postmaster

their spoils, throwing away what
they considered of no value to them.

rested, and who are now at the coun-
ty farm working out a 30-day SEN
tence for vagrancy, are William Neil
