A TERRIBLE crime was committed in
the town of Somerswortb, New Hamp-
shire last Friday While resisting the
entry of two desperate and determined
robbers. and during heroic but futile
struggle to protect $50, 900 or more in
money and securities in the compart-
ments of the open vault of the Great
Falls National Bank. Cashier Joseph
A. Stickney was brutally murdered
near the desk which he had occupied
for years. After killing Stickney the
Inurderers ransacked the vault and fed
with all the cash ii contained, with the
exception Of ~ gold piece As near
"a can be estimated about $4,000 was
taken, but ii is possible that the loss
will considerably exceed this sum "a no
one but the dead cashier knew the ex-
act amount that was in the institution
at the time.
The robbers after knocking Stickney
down with black jack, cut his throat.
The most remarkable feature Of the
robbery is the fact that 800, 900 in
bonds Of the United states, which were
kept in one of the drawers Of the big
vault and which the robbers evidently
examined hastily were not taken.
Neither were any of the negotiable pa
pers and securities of the bank taken
In fact nothing is missing except the
cash
