A BOLD Bank Robbery.

The boldest robbery ever committed
in the Fox river valley occurred the
other night, when a party of burglars
entered McCartney's exchange bank at
Fort Howard, blew open the vaults and
safes and carried away $4,000 in cash
and bonds. The bank is located on the
principal business street, and is a sub
stantial brick structure, but the vaults
are of the old style, and, while they
served as a safeguard against fire,
offered little resistance to the skillful
cracksmen.
