KANSAS Cry, Mo-, December r.
A Times Topeka special says: The
following account Of the bank robbery
at Kinsley. Kansas, is obtained from
Mr.. j. q. Ellis, who came up from
Kinsley to-day. The matter has been
kept extremely quiet and has not yet
appeared in print, although the rob-
berry occurred 48 hours ago. On Sat
urday evening l.. G. Boice, Cashier
Of the bank, locked the safe vault and
went to his supper, and G.. w. Craw
ford, County Treasurer, who has his
Office in the rear Of the room occupied
by the bank, left the building with
the Cashier, and they returned to-
gether an hour later, and it was then
discovered that some one had been in
the room in the meantime, number
of coins being scattered about the
floor, and the cashier unlocked the
vault and safe and then discovered
that $4,000 had been stolen. The
burglars had evidently entered the
building from the rear, and passed
through tho Treasurer's oficeinto the
bank room, tie panel Of the door be-
tween the rooms having been broken.
The Treasurer, Crawford, was ae-
quainted with the combination of the
vault, being in the habit Of keeping
his books there, but no one else knew
it except Cashier Boice. There were
no indications that powder had been
used, hence the door must have been
unlocked, and the entire affair has a
mysterious appearance 1t is likely
that developments Of interest will be
made in day or two. Detectives
we're soon get at work, and it is re.
ported that the money has been re.
covered.

A BANK ROBBERY
Traced up, and Probably LO-
Gated.

LARNED, Ks, December 12.-In.
telligence was received here yesterday
that the robbery ofthe Kinsley Bank
which occurred last Saturday night
has been traced to County Treasurer
j. W. Crawford, Of Edwards county
by means Of a bunch of keys and q
glove dropped at the door Of the vault
and that Crawford bad acknowledged
himself guilty and agreed to surrender
the stolen money which it seems
he hid away somewhere outside oi
Kinsley. This rumor is supplanted
by many others aud it is hard to
determine what the facts are. From
this distance it is accepted as conclu-
siye, however, that Crawford is in
some way implicated in the robbery il
indeed he is not himself the robber,
and that the facts will be finally fully
developed and the funds probably re.
covered. At present Crawford is
kept under guard at his residence in
Kinsley. lr

Mr.. Hale, of Maine, asserted in the

explain how the money was

that the voters were bought, or that
