ROBBERS LOOT POST
OFFICE AT cRA6 ORCHARD

The post Office at Crab Orchard, in
Lincoln county, was robbed Thursday
night of about $1,200 in money and
stamps, there being 5000 to $500 in
money and the remainder in stamps.
The safe was blown open, being
practically wrecked, and it's entire
contents taken.
Nitroglycerine was used on the safe
but no one in town heard the report,
as twelve or fifteen mail sacks had
been wrapped around the safe to
deaden the sound. These were scat
tered about the room by the force of
the explosion.
Entrance to the postoffice. building
was secured by means of tools which
the robbers had secured by breaking
open the Louisville e Nashville tool.
house nearby. The tools were found
on the floor of the qostoffice in the
morning when the robbery was dis.
covered.
A train goes through Crab Orchard
early in the morning, and it is pre-.
sumed that the robbers escaped by
that means.
