BANK OF NICHOLS ROBBED.
Three Explosions -. Thoughb Cash
Practically All Destroyed.
News and Courier. }


message from Nichols at an early
hour this morning stated that the
Bank Of Nichols had been robbed.
Rural Policeman Hunter and several
from here left by daylight for the
scene and Sheriff Dozier and Officers
Berry and Deans went to Pec-Dce,
hoping to head the CraCksmen off
should they attempt to escape by
train. Shortly after daylight officer
Byrd noticed two men coming down
the railroad from toward Nichols,
and locked them up under suspicion,
pending an investigation.
1t was not long before Officers
Berry and Davis reported from Pee
Dee that they had picked up a sus-
pect there. The officers boarded the
Wilmington train and carried their
prisoner back to Nichols. On the
same train was John Robbins, of the
penitentiary, with his bloodhounds,
having been reached over the long
distance telephone in time to catch
the train from Columbia.
Dogs Follow Trail.
The bank building had been roped
off, and when the dogs were carried
in the bank they readily took the
scent and ran down the railroad for
some distance, and turning to the
right, followed a trail over the public
road near the new bridge, where it
was lost. This led to the belief that
the robbers escaped by a vehicle in
waiting for them. After the dogs
had failed to carry the trail further
Guard Robbins returned to Nichols
and left the dogs in the opposite side
of the street from the bank By
this time there was possibly 800
to 400 persons in the crowd. He
then instructed that the man arrest
ed at Pee-Dee be taken out in the
woods and made to climb tree.
Dog Released.
At the same time several other
parties were instructed to go off in
different directions from that taken
by the persons suspected. Robbins
blew his horn and a dog was releas-
ed. He ran through the crowd to
his master, passing over hundreds
Of footsteps; finally he ran back,
and the moment he scented the
tracks made by the man arrested at
Pee-Dee he dashed off through the
field and followed the trail straight
to the tree. The prisoner was
brInght down, protesting his inno-
cence. Several trails were made,
but the dog refused to follow any
other trail.
The prisoner VS. afterwards car
rted to Marion and placed in jail to
await further developments. He gave
his name as Tom Reynolds and
claimed Richmond as his home. He
was APPARENTLY about 80 years Of age.
His LETT arm was off just below the
shoulder He had blue eyes, light
halr was tair-complcctcd, with high
IoFchcad, ana seemed rather indif-
lerent to the serious predicament he
was IN, only claiming that he was in
hOccht OF the charge.

Bank Wrecked.

The beautiful little Bank OF Mich
OILS is almost complete wreck. The
entire front of the safe was blown
away and part Of it hurled through
the ceiling, carrying off the top of
the house. Every window in the
building was shattered. A sledge
hammer and bolts were secured by
which an entrance was made. In
side the safe the cracksmen found an
iron chest in which the money was
stored. 1t was this that required
the third charge Of nitroglycerine
In the strong box was $50 in cur
rency and coin. In the box was IS
lOO-dOllar bills beside other denomi-
nations. A careful examination con-
vinced the president that very little
of the currency was secured by the
burglars, as the terrible jar seemed
to have literally torn the bills into
shreds. Only $36.64 was picked up
from the debris. The cashier. b. B.
Ellington, stated to the reporter that
the bank was fully protected by in
surance. w. MEG. Black, of the
Bank Of Mullins, is also president Of
the Bank of Nichols.
