SAFE CRACKERS IN SUMTER
Burglars Get in Their Work Successfully at Gobb and
DeSoto.
Three safes blown to atoms and
contents scattered over the stores
was the scene presented Monday
morning at Cobb and De Sota when
morning at Cobb and De Soto when
of business and viewed the wreck
and ruin thus wrought.
Professional safe crackers had
been at work there, and this work
had been done successfully.
At De 4oto the stores of Eshton
Howe and Eugene Moore had thus
been burglarized, while at Cobb,
few miles beyond, the safe of Jesse
Hill had been dynamited as well.
And the cracksmen with their loot
were already mlleB away.

Robbers Left No Trail.
Citizens of the little towq^,hurrled
to the stores thus dynamited In
■“lie, effort to get a clue to the cracksmen,
but no trail had been left by these
professionals, for such they evident
ly were. By daylight they were
doubtless many miles away.
Efforts were made to put dogs up
on the trail but this might have been
useless in view of the fact that doz
ens of people had since been around
the premises and, besides, the rob
bers had evidently left by train.
The Work Done at D’Soto.
In the store of Mr. Howe things
were found In confusion. The safe
was badly wrecked and everything of
value In the way of cash, checks, etc.,
was carried away. About $600 in
money was secured by the cracksmen,
and about $1,000 more in checks.
Later In the morning nearly, If
not quite all the checks, postofflce or
ders and other papers of like kind
were found In a barn near by. The
robbers wanted only the hard cash,
which could not be identified Tn the
event of possible capture.
Left Money nt Moore’s.
At the store of Mr. Eugene Moorse
the sate was dynamited, as at the
Howe store. Fortunately Mr. Moore
had taken all the money out at
closing time the day before.
A number. of pennies and small
change left In the cash drawer was
found intact, the cracksmen disdain
ing to take such money. The stock
In neither store was disturbed,
far as known, the yeggman caring
only for the dollars.
Both the Moore and Howe safes
were shattered by the blasts, the
cracksmen using a powerful explosive
which rent the Iron safes as easily
as if made of wood.

Four or five miles beyond DeSoto,
at Cobb station; the safe In the large
general store of Mr. Jesse Hill was
dynamited by the some bunch. The
iron door was riddled by the explosion
but, strange to relate, nothing was
stolen.
It is supposed that something
frightened away the burglars just
they opened the jHlll safe. It Is
thought they caught a passing train
and got safely away.
Residents of Bd Soto heard the
reports of the explosion, but as It
occurred shortly before 4 o'clock
Monday morning, and about the time
for the arrival of a train, they sup
posed It was torpedoes exploded there
as a stop Blgnal.
The burglaries, quite naturally,
created much excitement both at De
Soto and Cobb.
Professional Cracksmen.
There Ib not the slightest doubt
that the burglars are hlgh-clasB ar
tists In their line, and the same
gang that operated last week at other
points down the Seaboard. At .two
or three towns safes have been dy
namited recently.

Discussing the financial cituatlon in
ew York today, a well-known leader
monetary circles said:
“The true inwardness ot this thing

gency part ot it—Is very generally
misunderstood. It Is not the con
sequence of Rooseveltlan policies 01
political policies of any kind, aa many
Wise people affect to believe, and many
focllsh people do believe, but is the
abnormally properous conditions.

“Think ot It, wheat In the West at
$1.10 a bushel, and corn, oats, pork
poultry, dairy products, fruit, and
garden products, all at top prices—
add to that the colossal sums repre
sented by cotton on hand and in

be to properly perform the financial
function of 'handling* such a mighty
mass of good things.
