PosJolflce Robbers' Getaway, j
Scranton, April 20: ? Scran ton
Graded school was well represented
and made an admirable showing at
Florence Field day, winning seven
first prizes and one second prize. In
the needlework department Annie
Lee won a first prize for a dress.
Emma Fountain won a first prize for
a cooking cap. Vivian Pate, of the
advanced first, crude, won first Drize
in reading contest. John Ralston
Pate, 3d grade, won first prize in reading
contest. He won last year in 2d
grade first prize. R E Lee, of the
6th grade, won second place in the
sweep-stakes spelling contest. Rosa
Wall won first in the declamation
contest. Dessie Graham picked off
two first prizes, one for the best axe
handle on exhibition and in the running
high jump. This is the second
time he has wen in the latter. Besides
being a farmer and student at
the graded school,he is an athlete and
somewhat of an inventor,having perfected
a seed-dropping planter for
peas, etc.
On opening the postoffice Thursday
morning of last week Postmaster
R B Cannon found that yeggmen
had entered the office during the
previous night and blown open the
safe, secured the booty and weie
kind enough tolclose the door of the
office by placing a chair behind it
before they departed. Mr Cannon
notified the postoffice authorities and
'phoned Sheriff George J Graham at
Kingstree, who sent his famous
blood-hounds"Jin charge of Jailor
Cockfield on train No 80. The dogs
failed to get a trail in the office or at
the blacksmith shop of Mr WL Jones,
where the cracksmen got drills and
other tools to drill or tap the door
of the safe so as to place the explosive.
A short stick of dynamite was
found under the|safe. The explosion
broke some panes of glass in the windows
and the barometer, the contents
of which smelled of camphor,
which confusion^ of smells might
have baffled theRdogs in picking up
the trail. No trailjwas found at the
shop, so the robbers must have had
something on their feet. The haul
they made was $750 in postage
stamps and $25 in cash. A postoffice
inspector was here Thursday. This
office was looted about twelve years
ago.
