OAKV|LLE SAFE IS
BLOWN, BUT YEGGS
FAIL TO GET COIN

Two safe robbers, believed to have
been amateurs, attempted another job
in Shelby county early Tuesday morn
ing when they visited the store of
Squire j. J. Arnold at Oakville, After
chiseling the combination from the door
of the safe, the robbers opened shot
gun shells taken from the stock in the
store to procure powder to blow open
the OUTER door of the safe. The ex-
plosion blew this first door open, but
so jammed the inner door OF the safe
that the money inside was saved for
Squire Arnold.
The robbers. finding it impossible to
secure the money in the safe and rea-
lizing that the explosion had awakened
residents of Oakville, took the money
in the cash drawer tOtaling about $l4
and made their escape in an automo-
bile which had been kept waiting some
distance from the store, A bundle OF
cigarets. which the men had evidently
made up ready to take with them, was
left behind.
Two men were seen to leave the store
after the explosion. which occurred

employed in the store, and Arnold

They got up and dressed hurriedly. BY
the time they got downstairs, however,
the two robbers had fled.
Sheriff Perry was telephoned Inn
mediately and went to the scene in an
auto, arrived there within about halt
