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. Safe Blown nt Cobb.

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.
