SPRINGFIELD, Mass, Jan. 26.-At North
amptou, last night, seven disguised men broke
iuto the house of John Whittlesey, chashier Of
the Northampton National Bank, secured Mr..
Whi,tlesey and family, obtained the keys OF
the bank, and leaving one of their number as
guard, six proceeded to the.bank and attempt
ed to break into the vault, but the door and
the lock were too strong for them, and they
had to leave without accomplishing their pur-
pose. Cashier Whltlesey, however, was rob-
bed of his gold watch and what money he had
at HON. There is evidence that the gang had
been planning the job for SOM time, making
their headquars in the attic OF one Of the town
school houses. Later adyices from Northamp.
ton say its not certain whether the bauk burg
lars obtained any plumber or not, as the door
of the vault is SO injured it can not be opened
by the bank officers. The general opinion is,
however, that the funds of the bauk are 10.
