BANK OF TRENTON ROBBED. About $15,000 Worth of Liberty Bonds and Stamps Stolen. Edgefield, Oct. 20.?The Bank of Trenton was entered and robbed early this morning. The thief entered the front door and blew out an excavation in the wall of the outer vault sufficient for a man to get through where the deposit boxes of private citizens are kept, contents of most of the mbeing taken, consisting of liberty bonds and war savings stamps laro'piv The inner vault and safe ? where the money was kept was not entered and no cash was taken. While no official statement of the amount of bonds and stamps stolen has been made, it is variously estimated that * from $15,000 to $20,000 was the amount. The boxes of several, one of them Betis Bouknight's containing $12,000 in bonds, were not molested. Many of the boxes contained jewelry, much of which was stolen, besides a considerable amount of liberty bonds. B. R. Tillman had taken from his box a watch formerly belonging to his father and a very valuable diamond ring. The robbery occurred about two o'clock, but nothing was known of it uniil eight. The bank carried burglary insurance to the amount of thirty thousand dollars and nothing will ultimately be lost by it or its custom' ers. Bloodhounds we're brought to * the scene about 9 o'clock but as so many had entered the bank and place before this, no trail could be struck. Several strangers were noticed at Trenton yesterday but no suspicion was aroused. The robbery is thought to have been the work of professionals who made good their escape. i m m Party invitations, juvenile stationery and children's correspondence cards on sale at The Herald Book i .
