"a Reward of One Thousand Dollars
Onered-No Clew to the Robbers.


CoLDwATER, Mich, March 4.--The
Coldwater National bank was robbed.
The estimated loss is $4,000, The rob-
bers drilled the outer door of the vault
and with punch broke the lock off
The middle door was secured with a
paddock. This was probably broken
with n sledge. The inside vault con-
tanned one burglar-proof combination
lock safe and one steel safe with time
lock. These were drilled, and, it
is thought, charged with dynamite.
The doors of both safes were
blown completely off wrecking both
safes and leaving nothing but a
shell of each. The concussion shat
tered the wooden shelves inside the
vault and scattered the contents of tho
safes and the shelving about the floor
There was no one sleeping in the bank.
The discovery was made by one of the
employees on opening the bank Thurs
day morning. No one heard tho explo-
sion. There is no clew to the robbers.
The bank offers reward of $500 and
the sheriff offers $500 additional for the
apprehension and conviction of the
thieves. 1t is the most daring robbery
that has ever been committed in this
city.
The thieves gained entrance to the
bank building by prying open an out
side window. 1t is learned that there
were two explosions heard by people
living short distance from the bank.
This took place between $3.50 and 8
O'Clock Il m. There were a mum Der OF
special deposits in the vault consisting
of watches and diamonds valued at
about 81, 600. About $500 in gold that
was badly mutilated and bent out OF
shape, and also a quantity of silver
ware, were left by the robbers,
Among other securities taken was q
private deposit of 81, 900 worth of Phil
adelphia and Reading railroad income
bonds, whose numbers are as follows;
S75 to 500 inclusive; also 1,714 to 1,T2t
and 1,733 and 1,734 These were not
registered. A six-ounce bottle was
found in the bank with about an ounce
of liquor remaining in it. This is sup
posed to be nitro-glycerine used by The
cracksmen. Some tools, consisting OF
punches and chisels, with the sawed. off
handle of a sledge, were left in the
bank. Two suspicious looking men
were seen near the rear entrance of the
building last evening. They are miss
