Thieves Blow Safe at Davis' Wholesale Feed Dealer, July 24, 1923

Yeggmen Wrecked Feed Dealer’s Office

High Point, July 23—The office of W.A. Davis, local wholesale feed dealer, was wrecked about 14:30 this morning by thieves attempting to blow open his safe.

The attempted safe cracking was evidently the work of a novice. Dynamite or other high explosive was used. The yeggmen were afraid to return for the $4,000 inside the safe. The office was reduced to debris as the ceiling was blown away from the walls of the office.
