HoorEsroN, H., Sept 1s ~ The

of $40. 600 at noon Wednesday as sys-
tematically as the Dalton gang could
have done il and much less tragically.
Rossville is an important grain-buying
point on the Chicago a. Eastern llli-
nois railroad and large amounts Of
money arc sometimes in the bank for
the elevators TO check on. The rainy
weather Of the last week has made
grain-buying slow and the money ac-
cumulatcd In the country banks.
At noon Wednesday Banker Camp
bell locked up the place and went TO
dinner. Ia the safe was about $4,000
in currency including $50 in 81 and 81
bills which he had picked up from the
desk and placed in the safe. The safe
door was closed but the combination
was not thrown.
When Banker Campbell returned
after an absence of thirty minutes he
found the safe door open and the cur
reucy gone. An investigation showed
that the burglar entered the back
window OF the grocery store in the
rear OF the bank and with q pair OF
nippcrs turned the key in the back
door OF the bank. Then opening the
safe l.c took the money and left the
way he came Tracks from the win

into a cornfeld. The engineer OF the
elevator says he saw man
with light check suit run down
the alley with bundle in his hand.
The iceman says he saw a man of
the same description in the alley in
the rear OF the bank in the forenoon,
and others saw the same man sitting
in front of a grocery store just before
~ o'clock He was an entire stranger,
but evidently knew OF the habits Of
