Safe Blown at Mount Ayr.

There seems to be an epidemic of safe blowing in this region, just now. There was one at our neighboring vi|Uge, Mt. Ayr, last Saturday night, 1 which makes the third in this region within a week. At Mt. Ayr the railroad depot was / broken into and the safe blown up. The robbers did not make any very great haul as the agent missed only 75 cents—which Bafpto in Longs.
