LOOTED a BANK.
Daring Thieves Secure $4,000 at RosIyn,
Wash.-They Escape.

"ash' ihe9 EasNapt'
TACOMA, Wash, Sept. 26.-Three I'M
masked highwaymen rode into the coal
mining town of Roslyn, entered b.
f. Snipe's bank, and, while two
of them covered the cashier,
bookkeeper and two Ct zens with
revolvers, the third emptied the
contents of the safe, amount

pay day at Roslyn mine and $40, 900
had been sent from Tacoma in the
morning. The robbers probably sup
posed the money was placed in the
bank, though it was taken to the COM
pany's office.
The robbers executed their plan in a
manner that would have done credit to
the James boys. Cashier Aber-
nethy was writing when the first
robber entered and turned to
wait on the supposed customer,
but found himself facing a 44-caliber
revolver. DIR. Lyons, who had en-
tered just after the first highwayman,
turned to go out, but dashed against a
pair of revolvers in the hands of a
entered, picked up Cashier Abernethy's
revolver and knocked him down with
it. Abernethy rose, his head streaming
with blood, and was told to keep quite
if he wanted to live. The third man
then walked to the safe, which was
open, took out the coin and bills,
showed the money into a canvas bag
and threw it over his shoulder.
The three men then went out join
ing two more men, who had been sta
toned so as to guard all approaches.
s. A. Frasier, assistant cashier, who
was outside, grabbed a shotgun and
made for the bank, but one of the
robbers stopped his progress by placing
bullet in his hip. A colored man
was also shot in the leg and sew
eral others had narrow escapes. Ono
of the robbers held the reins of five
splendid horses, and as soon as the
vault was looted all mounted, fired up
and down the street, put spurs to their
horses and dashed away, disappearing
on trail over the mountains.
The sheriff was notified and a large
posse started in pursuit. 1t is believed

Immediately offered a reward of $1,000
for the apprehension of the robbers.
This was supplemented by an offer of
the same amount by Cashier Aber-

cowboys and showed themselves to be
expert horsemen and gunners.
