A KANSAS BANK ROBBERY
Another Good Man Gone Wrong.

Another Good Man Gone Wrong.
KANSAS CITY, Dec. 12.-The following ac-
count of bank robbery at Kingsley, Kansas,
is obtained from M. j. G. Ellis, who came up
to Topeka from Kingsley. The matter has
beenEkept quiet and has not yet appeared in
print, although the robbery occurred forty
eight hours ago. Saturday evening L. G.
Boyce, cashier of the bank, locked the safe and
vault and went to his supper. J. w. Craw-
ford, county treasurer, has an Office in the rear
of the room occupied by the bank, and he left
the building with the cashier. They returned
together about an hour later and it was then
discovered that some one had been in the room
number of coins were scattered about the
floor. The cashier unlocked the vault and safe
and then discovered that $4,000 had been
stolen. The burglars evidently entered the
building from the rear and passed through the
treasurer's office into the bank room, panel of
tho door between the rooms h.ving been hrok-
en-. Treasurer Crawford was acquainted with
the combination of the vault, being in the
habit of keeping his books there, but no one
else knew except Cashier b yce. There were
no indications that powder had been used,
hence the door must have been unlocked. The
entire affair has mysterious appearance.
[sEcoND DIsPATcH.I
Intelligence has been received at Larned that
the roDbing of the Kingsley Bank Saturday
night has been traced to County Treasurer
j. W. Crawford, of Edwards county, by means
of bunch OF Keys and glove dropped at the
door of the vault; that Crawford has acknowl-
edged himself guilty and agreed to surrender
the stolen money, which he hid away some
where outside of Kingsley This rumur is
supplemented by many others. 1t is accepted
as conclusive, however, that Crawford is in
some way impical ed in the robbery. He is
Kept under guard at his residence in Kingsley.
