BANK SAFK AT COPK BLOWN.
Explosion, However, Fails to Open
Yault.?Not hint*; Lost.
# ?
Access to the safe of the Bank of
Cope, which burglars attempted with
three explosions about 3:30 o'clock
Sunday morning by (he use of nitraglycerine
or other strong explosives,
was gained about 2:30 this afternoon
after mechanics and citizens from the
town and Orangeburg worked on the |
battered combination of the outside J
doors for a number of hours, and the!
contents were found intact,
The attempted robbery, which to j
all appearances was the work of
amateurs with some of the tools used
by professionals, was absolutely unsuccessful.
It was supposed that possibly
the outside doors were blown
open and, upon discovery that the
valuables were further protected by
a screw door on the inside, the doors
were closed and otherr explosions
effected with the hope of opening the
screw door. Such procedure and even
the tackling of a screw door safe at
all is considered amateurish, as proI
fessional burglars seldom attempt to
get into a screw door safe as their
method of construction renders such
a thing next to impossible.
Approximately $1,000 in cash was
in the interior compartment under
protection of the screw door. This
represented all the valuable contained
therein as other valuable papers
were mostly in the hands of corresponding
banks.
Three explosions are reported to
have been heard about 3:30 o'ciock
''Sunday morning. The burglars are
supposed to have used an automobile
in their movements as several citizens
heard a car arrive in the town
from the north, it is reported, shortly
before the explosions, and depart
soon thereafter. It is supposed that
two or more were in the party.
Everything in the bank was found
to be in perfect condition except that
soap was scattered over the floor and
fixtures and half a bar of Octagon
soap was found on the floor in front
of the safe. Cashier Carl Gibson's
large army revolver was found in its
usual place under a desk. No drawers
were open and there was no appearance
of an attempt to bother anything
but the safe. With a new lock
and combination for the outer door,
it is stated that the safe will be in
as good condition as formerly.
Entrance to the buildingrwas effected
through the front door which was
pried open with a crow bar. No clue
as to the identity of the burglars has

rious cities and towns in this section
and throughout the state have been
notified of the affair with instructions
to watch for the guilty parties.
The. bank opened as usual Monday
morning and business proceeded normally
except with slight inconvenience
as the result of the books being
in the upper compartment of the safe
which was not opened until after bank
hours. The institution carries burglary
insurance. F. A. Ad den, of Orangeburg,
is president of the bank..
The affair caused quite a sensation
in this community; however, the officers
of the institution, the depositors
and the public generally express gratification
that the attempted robbery
proved unsucecssiful, and that the
damage was very slight. This is the
first occurrence of the kind to happen
in Cope.
STRANGE GHOST SHIP.
Historic Illusion Recalled by Fisherman's
Death.
Gloucester, Mass., Dec. 1.?The
burial today of John Winters recalled
to old-time fishermen a tradition
r\f o mrvrjom "Dlvino- Dutchman" and
VI U 1UVUV1 u * ?o ?' _
its ghostly crew thai were believed
to roam the seas in pursuit of a ship
that had sent them to the bottom.
Winters was the last survivor of
the crew of the Gloucester schooner,
Charles Haskell, which, in a storm
in March, 1869, ran down and sank
a Salem schooner and its entire crew
off the Georges Fishing Banks. He
died at the Fishermen's Snug Harbor.
in his 82nd year, repeating almost
to the letter the tale of the ghost
ship of the fishing banks, which was
supposed to have pursued the Haskell
throughout its carreer as a fisherman.
Once off the Eastern Point, at the
entrance of Gloucester harbor, Winters
said, a schooner ran down the
wind, hove alongside the Haskell, and
her phantom crew climbed the rigring,
declaring themselves the ghosts
of the Salem fishermen.
Winters and others of the Haskell
crew refused to ship in the ship again
and a new crew was taken on.
These returned with a similar story

dunnage bags and quit.
Another and still a fourth crew |
were shipped, but each came to porti
with a renewal of the story of a ship
shrouded in white and a spectral
crew and the Haskell was hauled up,
y unable to get men. She finished her
seagoing as a sand freighter and the
Salem ship was not heard of again.
