Neighhors living about 100 feet away
from the former postoflico said that
between and 3 o'clock a heavy ex-
plosiou was heard. but as their home
IS located near the railroad IL was
thought that the noise was caused by
one of the warning bombs which are
placed at certain points In the road to
warn Of the approach of n train.
when Mr.. Morris. who has been
robbed Ave times I'm tho past three
years. three of which, robbcries oc-

used To ignite the g,yccrinc. was found

been used 10y the thieves in their work
had also been left behind.
The neighbors who had heard the
explosion said they also heard tho
thieves draw up m front Of the former
