Monday _A bold robbery was committed on
last when the train from Clay-
1 ton, Ala., George D. Smith, conductor,
reached Eufanla, leaving the train upon
a side track, for the purpose of making
up the different freight trains, as is tlm
custom. Conductor .Smith left his safe,
containing about $800, in his car, but
was surprised to find upon returning
about, an hour later that the safe and
contents lmd disappeared. It appears
that two negro men had entered the
car with an empty trunk and placed
the safe in it, and carried both to a
negro’s house, where they were found
several hours afterwards. Tlie negroes
wore arrested, and one of them is held
for trial and the other discharged.—
