A MYSTERIOUS RoBBERY.-Some time apo
Mr.. Loyal Wilcox. being about to start on A
European tour. made a special deposit of $40 +.
UO IN the Hartford Bank, the same being in
Uniteo states securities, which were inclosed
IN small box. The facts as we learn them. are
as foilows:-Mr Wilcox called for his box. an d
the bonds were found to be safely inelosed in
II. He carried the box to his hotel took ON
the bonds and returned them (as he belle YES \
and bad them placed on special depost in the
vault. But the President Of the ban k does not
recollect that he returned with the bonds. and
II is thought that Mr.. Wilcox NAV have been
mistaken in his belefthat he brougnt them back.
If he did not. the property was lett at the hot
where he boarded, and from there il was taken
by somebody-whether upon that day or ar a
later period is not known
When Mr.. WIlcex returned from Europe he
applied for his bonds, bat they could not be
found. He was confident that he returned
them TO the bank last April, but the bank off :
GERS could not reooilect the fact and It would
be singular If the bank had been robbed, "a
dlmcult thing in the Old Hartford. auy way. !
1t should have been robbed of those bonds and
nothing more. But that Mr Wilcox believes
he took the bonds back. there can be no doubt.
as he is man Of strict integrity. 1t is really
n mysterious case.
As yet there is no clue to fasten suspicion
anywhere, except in aecertaining the fact that
one of the bonds stolen has been traced TO the
banking houee Of Jay Cooke & Co Philanel.

twenty. Out of this, possibly the guilty par
