MYSTERIOUS BANK ROBBERY.
Touched for Unknown Amount
by Expert Thieves.

SEDALIA. MO. Aug. 3-(Special) Ex-
pert bank thieves made a rich haul at the
Bank of Commerce here between II 30 a. m
and l:30 y. m. Monday. but the fact was not
made public until to-day. How much was
stolen the bank officials refuse TO divulge
but the general belief is that several thou
sand dollars was taken.
Just how the robbery occurred is not
knows, but the supposition is that while
Cashier Ittel or President Yeater was en-
gagged at the window, a thief entered the
building by the door. made his way through
the directors room TO the rallied portion
used for banking purposes, entered the
vault and distracted from a small cash
safe the money in packages, which he
placed in sack and carried away.
1t is believed that confederate engaged
the official on duty at the cashiers window
engrossing his attention. while the other
man robbed the safe. The fact of the rob-
berry was not discovered until the thieves
had had ample time to escape.
Manager Hurst, of the Thiel Defective
agency. Kansas City was summoned and
at his instigation Chief of Police Prentice
arrested John A. Maines. an alleged adver-
tising solicitor from Terre Haute Ind 1t
IS known that Maines was. in the bank
about the time the robbery is supposed to
have occurred, and that he tried to make
an advertising contract with Mr. Ittel for
space on a railway timecard to be hung UP
In the hotels of the city. Niaines is still
held. but the belief is gaining ground that
he was not implicated. Detective Hurst
has gone TO Hannibal on the trail of four
men w.-o put in two or three days mere.
and whose conduct Is now regarded as sI;S-
picious, TO say the least.
