Cot Tools From Section House and
Swi|ied Thirty Gallons of Gaso
line From Tool House
While There.
Yeggmen cracked the safe at the
Maypearl postoffice last night, hut
they found it a T’.uv.v’ as the oil
fuen would say. The rafe was1
wrecked from the explosion but only
50 or 60 cent3 iu change had been
left in the safe by the postmaster
late yesterday.
| The robbers secuttd tools from ihe
section house to effect an entrance
to the building drilled into the door
jot the safe and set oft a .h.irge of
i__
Lome high txpli-'v?. They wet?
evidently after money anti only
money because no stamps were
taken. The robbery was not dis
covered until 7 o’clock this mors
leg, and no trace of the men can Jr
found.
W. T. Brooks, who lives near tic
postoffice building, thought he heard
an explosion but was not sufficieat
•ly aroused to make investigation.
In fact he had almost forgotten tie
noise lie heard until it was recalled
by the news of the safe blowing.
It is evident that the safe
ers were traveling by motor i
for they swiped thirty gallons of
gasoline from the section home
where they procured tools with which
to effect entrance to the building.
Notice.
The postoffice will be open frop
10 to 11 Monday, Jan. 1, 1917. Cfty
and rural carriers will make de'.(J
