Major D. $. Fletcher characterized the

receiving as the poorest which he had
ever encountered. citing as a typical
instance the fact that he had mailed
a letter at p. m. at Takoma address

blocks Of the substation at Takoma,
and that delivery was not made until
late the following afternoon, instead
of in the morning. Major Fletcher

TEGGMEN WRECK
BANK BUILDING
Robbers Send Safe Through Ceiling
With Series of Explosions
Suspects Arrested.

Mullins. Dec. 3.-Thrce explosions
from charges of nitroglycerine prac-
tically destroyed the bank building of
Nichols, five miles from here. when
the safe was blown open by yeggmen
at 2:3O o'clock this morning. Po"~
tions of the heavy safe door we're
hurled into the ceiling, tearing its
way through the roof. All windows
in the bank were shattered and the
the building was generally demoliSh-
ed.
Just how much money was taken
can not yet be determined. The final
charge. which was to open an inner
chest containing the money, was Sc
powerful that 300 81 bills were torn
into Shreds. OF the 81 ,S34 in cur
rency in the safe, S36.64 was picked
up in the debris this morning.
Three men have been arrested. Two
coming from the direction of Nichols
were arrested early this morning 10y
Policeman Byrd. Another giving his
name as Tom Reynolds and his home
as Richmond. Va, was arrested al
Pee Dee by Officers Berry and Davis

of age. His left arm is off just below

4sts, street, ventured out with his shot
gun and fired three cartridges in the
direction of the bank. One struck the
end of a freight car and two were
said to have gone through the bank
windows. The shots were answered
with pistol shots by the robbers and
so far as could be learned no one else
attempted to intercept the looters.N BY
some it is claimed that there were as
many as 30 minutes between the first
and the last report.
While all this was going on, the
operator and barber remained in the
building, panic stricken. They were
afraid to leave on account of the
guard, and expected every moment
that the building would be blown up.
They called to those in the house
nearby to come and carry them away
but could not get any one out. Short
ly after the third explosion the men
came out and all went up the rail
road. Harl Griffin lives just beyond
| the depot and as they passed HI.
l:Duse he was standing on the fr)n;
orch and asked what the trouble was
They fired one or two shots al hir'
and proceeded on down the road. A
negro living near Nichols said that
he passed five white men on the rail

fr$n Nichols.

several hundred yards down the rail-
road, thence into the public road to
the new bridge. Here the trail was
lost, and the conclusion drawn was
that the robbers had entered vehicle
held in waiting. Robbins then took
the dogs back to Nichols, where 300
or 400 persons had gathered.
Instructions were then given to
have the suspect taken to the woods
and made to climb tree. Several
people were made to follow close by
to guard the movements of Reynolds
The dogs were then turned loose over
the yard traversed by the crowd. They
at once picked up the trail of Rey-
nolds, which was followed to the tree.
Others were made to strike trails, but
the dogs repeatedly refused to follow
these. Reynolds was placed in the
Jail at Marion to await developments
in the case.
In the Building.
In the adjoining building on the
second story is the telephone eX-
change. Here the operator was asleer
and in an adjoining room almost over
{ ne bank a negro barber. The impact
from the explosion almost threw these
out of bed. They rushed to the win
dows to see what the noise was an,
discovered three men directly under
meath them. By this time many Pep
sons living nearby were up and were
running through the darkness towart
the bank when the second charge wa
touched off.

hair, and fair complexion. Reynolds
vigorously protests his innocence.
Shots Are Fired.
Several shots were exchanged with
the robbers when the bank was being
robbed. Later when the yeggmen
were leaving, Harl Griffin came to the
porch and inquired what the trouble
was. The answer was one or two shots
fired at him by the escaping safe
blowers.
A telephone message from Nichols
told of the robbery soon after it oc-
cured Rural Policeman Hunter with
several deputies left by daylight for
Nichols, Sheriff DoZier with Officers
Berry and Davis going to Pee Dee,
believing that the yeggmen might
possibly attempt to board a train al
this junction. Shortly after daylight,
Officer Byrd arrested two suspicious
characters, who were lodged in the
Mullins Jail. These were coming down
the railroad from Nichols. A few min
| utcS later a message was was received
| telling of the arrest of Reynolds at
| Pee Dee. The same train that bore
! the Pee Dee prisoner to Nichols also
| brought Guard Robbins from the
State penitentiary with his blood
hounds, who had been called over the
| long distance telephone in time to
catch the early morning train.
Dogs Find Trail.
AS a matter of precautiOn, the bank
building had been roped off. In con.
sequence the trail was readily picked
up by the dogs, and the trail followed
