SAFE ROBBED AT
 SOLDIERS HOME Money and Papers Taken
 During Night XMAS AT THE HOME Big Brick Kiln Near the Institution Destroyed By Dynamite-The
 Veterans Generally in
 Good Health

Mountain Greek, December 25.-(Speeial9 The usual gaiety which is characteristic of the Soldiers home at Mountain Creek has been somewhat disturbed the past week.
 The safe in the commandments oniee was robbed of over s1OO in cash and some valuable papers. It is rather sur prising as to just how easy'' the yegg- men found access to this booty" They entered the main building by slipping back window lock, through which they reached the commmandant' office. There, probably much to their surprise. they found the safe door unlocked, and then by simply prying open the inside small locked receptacle they secured the money and papers.
 A real "professionar' yeggman would have been ashamed to take the money, and like the renowned Dick Turpin, no doubt would have paid his respects to Captain Simpson and returned the loot.
 It was like taking candy from children.
 No clue has as yet been discovered that leads to the identity of the thieves. Every thing suggests that it was the work of some one familiar with the surroundings of the institution.
 On the same evening of this robbery brick kiln containing many thousands of brick belonging to Mir. Gilbert, about a quarter of mile from the home, was destroyed, presumably by dynamite. Just how to couple the two crimes requires the ingenuity of a Burns or the brain of a Sherlock Holmes.
 Many solutions are advanced, more es- pecially by the quiet old veterans, whose time is so abundant that opportunities for unraveling knotty problems like these two referred to seldom occur. As yet the mys- teries are hidden by mantle of doubt similar to the murder of Mir. Mcqueen, which occurred near this place some months since.
 This Christmas morning dawned upon the old veterans in fairly good health as an entirety.
 Many cheerful congratulations were ex- changed by the gray haired heroes of the sixties, and many were made glad by the receipt of presents from friends who yet remember the men who fought for south ern rights on the fields of Shiloh, Chick amauga and the bloody battlefield of Vir- ginia
 Miss Kate Lasste, the worthy matron. had a splendid looking Christmas tree placed in the hospital on which she dis played the many remembrances received for the patients under her care. By so doing this worthy woman made happy all those who were favored by a glimpse of her thoughtfulness.
