A daring attempt was made to rob the Ma
tional Bank at South Berwick, during the
night of the 9th inst. between the hours Of II
and o'clock the Waterman in the bank was
awakened by some one endeavoring to force
an entrance. He at once gave the alarm, and
pursuit was made for the robbers, but without
success. Upon examination both the outer
and inner doors of the banking room were
found to have been forced open by means OF
jimmies. The noise made in spinging the lock
of the inner door awakened the Waterman,
who gave the alarm as above stated. Officers
are on the track of the burglars.
