BOLD BANK RoBBERs.
A Raid on the Peoples Savings Bank

Yesterday morning, shortly after 10 o'clock, a
bold and daring attempt was made TO rob the
Peoples Savings Bank, in the basement of
the Second National Bank building, on Sew.
enth street, above L northwest. From the
developments II is supposed that five men were in
the job, and the manner in which they worked
showed that the plan had been well matured
The bank had just opened for business, and the
safe was standing open facing the street about
twelve or fifteen feet behind the counter GEN
q. W. Balloch, the cashier, had gone up into the
second National Bank 10 secure funds that had
been left there for safe keeping the night pre-
Tious and to identify party presenting check
nleaVtnR the colored messenger In charge. Hardly
clad be disappeared before two Of the thieves who
Evidently had been watching for his departure
entered and engaged the messenger in converse
ikiOn at the counter, when another of the gang
Slipped in from the back way (supposed TO be pri-
Fate) and teok box from the safe with which he
made off, as did the others, who were at the coun-
ter and two who were left on the outside. They
doubtless thought that the box contained the
assets Of the bank, but fortunately for the bank,
and unfortunately for Gen. BallOch and Mr.. Geo.
Stickney, they got hold Of the wrong box. That
they carried away contained valuable papers be.
longing TO these two gentlemen, and which can
not be Of any possible use 10 the thieves. Among
these psPers were i've first mortgage bonds for
q, 600 each which, with other papers, are valued
at el2OOO. This daring operation was fmmedl-
aiey reported TO the police authorities, aud meas
ures we're taken to secure the parties dong the
work.
