Cracksmen Blast Safe at Mcßae Mcßae, Ga., Aug. 7 —Robbers gained an entrance to the Sou thern Railway depot at t-h.s place this morning at 2:35 o’clock, "dyna mited the safe of the agent, practic ally demolished the sides of the ticket office, set fire to the debris, and jarred the city from one end to the other. The robbery, which was committed while the electriet lights were burning in the building, net ted the theives only a few dollars, as there was only a few dollars in the safe. The entire town of Mcßae was jarred by the territtie blast. People rushed from their homes, thinking that the huge boilers at the city pumping station had blown up Smoke was seen issued ng from the Southern Railway depot and the searchers found that the agent’s of fice’had been practically demolished. The robbers gained an entrance through the front door of the office. The safe was a complete wreck, the door having been blown across the room, striking the opposite wall, crushing and splintering it into many fragments. A number of tickets and some money was found burning on tin floor. Currency amounting to $lO was also found scattered about the room. The loss will be small as there was little money in the safe. The thieves escaped and the au thorities have been notified. The effectiveness of the work leads to the belief that the thieves were pro fessional cracksmen. Mr. J. F. Floyd brought in the first bale of cotton here last Tues day. it weighed 536 lbs., and was sold to the Cochran Union Ware house Co. for 17c per lb., netting just $91.12.
