| Stolen from a car on the
Central {of Georgia} Railroad, on Thursday
night, a keg, containing Forty Thousand Dollars, and a box, containing
Three Thousand Seven Hundred Dollars in Gold. Five thousand dollars of
the Gold will be given for its recovery, and in proportion for any part
of it, and an additional sum of five thousand dollars in currency will
be paid for the detection of the thief or thieves, paced in the jail at
Savannah. The circumstances under which the robbery was committed were
that a car was chartered to bring certain things from Macon to Savannah,
and placed in the charge of a special agent, who, after travelling from
Macon to Station Number Five, discovered that the door of the car had
been opened and the keg and box taken out. The above reward will be paid
for the recovery and detection, or for information that leads to the
recovery and detection. |
