OPERATIONS OF BURGLARS IN VERMONT
BANK ROBBED OF $6400.-The Castleton (Vt.)
National Bank was broken open Monday night
last, and robbed of $64OO The burglars effect
ed an entrance through the front door, which
was blown open, it is supposed, by the use of
nitro-glycerine. The small inside safe was
taken out and tumbled ON feather bed. The
door was pried up, and all the bills except
about S1OO taken out by means of hooks. Be-
low this apartment was another, separated by
an iron plate, to which an entrance was not
effected, containing between fifty and sixty
thousand dollars in bonds and eight hundred
dollars in available funds, all on deposit for Sc
curity. The locks were broken and bent in
such a manner that it became necessary to
take OFT the bottom of the safe. The capital of
the bank is only $50, 900, and the money taken
was nearly all its surplus, leaving it where it
stood about four years ago "A reward of $4,000
is offered.
The store of Edwin Vallete, of Middlebury,
Vt, was robbed about three o'clock Tuesday
morning. Mr.. " discovered light, and with
several armed neighbors surrounded the store.
The burglar appeared with a bag of plumber,
when he was fired upon, and dropping his bag
he made good his escape. At daylight blood
was discovered on the snow, and was traced to
a farmhouse two miles distant. A man at
work for the premises, named Hyer brought
cup of water for the officers, who noticed that
he used his left band, having his right in his
pocket, and on examination it was found that
a shot had lodged in the forearm Just under
the skin. He is young man, 10 years of age,
and at once confessed his crime.
