Reynolds Postoffice was Robbed of $1,100 Last Friday Night.

Robbers gained entrance to the Reynolds postoffice last Friday night, dynamited the safe and secured 21,100 in cash and other valuables. The robbery was discovered by Postmaster E. A. Bush Saturday morning. The safe contained $175 cash, |625 in stamps and 9300 in jewelry. The dynamiting was so muffled that oo one in town heard it. After robbing the safe the burglars went to the barn of Marshall Snyder where they stole a horse. A buggy was taken from another barn and the escape was made. The horse and buggy were found Saturday at Monon. There is no clew that is apt to result In a capture of the robbers, although people remembered Beeing two strangers in town during the previous day, and they seemed to lay around tbe postoffice part of the time.
