Hurley Bank RObbery-A strange
Story ConCerningN

FoRr WORTH, Tex, Nov. 29.-It is
made public here that last Monday
night some one, having q key to
the door and the combination Of the
safe in the Office Of the Pacific Express
Company, at the Union Depot, entered
the Office, opened the safe, took there
from 90, 800, and departed without mo-
lestatiOn. The matter is as much Of q
mystery as the recent bank burglary
here, when 5000 was taken, and
there is no more clew to this than
the other deed. Only three persons
were supposed to know the combina-
ton of the safe, and they are all
trusted employees of the company. The
negro Waterman states that some time
during the night he thought he heard
some one open the door and enter the
office, and that he made search and
could find no one in the Office. Next
morning the money was missing, and
that is all that seems to be known
about the affair.
SUPPOSED BERwYN TRAIN ROBBERS.
GAINESVILLE, Tex, Nov. 29.-Nine
men were arrested here yesterday
charged with the Santa Fe train rob-
berry near Berwyn, I. T., Monday night.
All the parties are gamblers, seven
OF whom were arrested in Ard
more and two in BeTwyn. The Of
ficers are reticent, but the inference is
that they have a strong case. A reward
of 81, 900 each is offered for the arrest
and conviction of the robbers. Other
arrests are expected to follow at any
moment. The officers refuse to divulge
the names of those arrested. A large
force of deputy marshals is still search
ing in the vicinity of the robbery.
THE HURLEY BANK RoBBERY.
MILWAUKEE,, Wis, Nov. 29.-Dr. J.
G. Reynolds, president of the bank at
Hurley, where the SAC, 600 robbery took
place, said yesterday that the most
astonishing feature of the new develop
ments in the case was the claim made
by the detectives that the robbery was
the result of a conspiracy which was
going OIL for at least eight months. For
two years it had been matter of COM
mon knowledge on the range that q
large amount Of money was sent the
bank once a month to pay OF the
miners.
The officers claim to have informa-
ton from one of q gang who came to
rob the bank and knowing the COM
bination of the safe. This fellow
claims to have hung around several
days and to have seen the money
arrive and go to the bank. That night
he and his confederates were ready,
but the cashier did not go down
town. They watched him prepare
for bed and then decided to aban-
don an attempt at robbery. The
leader said that he knew with the
cashier in the bank robbery would
probably include murder, and he drew
the line at the latter crime.
The officers say that this gang did not
finally commit the robbery and the
leader does not know who did, but he
will tell who furnished him with the
combination of the safe when he eX-
pected to crack it. The officers have
given the bank officials various other
important pieces of information which
show deep laid plot.
