Big Safe Shows Dent Where Ban

When the train held up by bandits neal
White Sulphur Springs. Ga. pulled out
Of the north end Of the tunnel into Union
station at 1880 o'clock last night many
OF the station employees hurried to view
the interior Of the car in which the ex-
plosion occurred.
The crew Of the train had been changed
and most of the information that was to
be had was learned from passengers. The
fragments OF the safe that had been
robbed had been consigned to a junk pile
in one Of the shops OF tho Southern Rail-
way Company in North Carolina. but the
larger safe was stin in the car.
In the top OF this safe there was a big
dent. showing the result OF the effort
made by the robbers, but the lock was
intact. Two attempts were made to rob
the safe. 1t was explained. but the rob-
bers had to leave the many thousands OF
dollars behind and DO satisfied with the
500 they obtained from the smaller safe.

not even looking to SEQ the train pull
away. They were apparently looking al
the money they had taken from the de-
molished safe"
Many of the passengers did not recover
from the excitement until long after day
break, 1t is stated. and some Of them, eS-
pecially two foreigners, did not feel safe
until after the noon hour. They seemed
afraid that another attack would be
made and feared somebody would be
killed.
