Attempted Bank Robbery Bur
glars made q second attempt to enter the
First National Bank Of Sandy Spring. The
Savings Institution Is located in the same
building The door leading into the bank
building was forced open with toos taken
from the blacksmith shop of Fletcher Clark
About 2 O'Clock last Friday morning Mr.. s.
B Wetherald, who resides a short distance
from the bank building, was aroused by an
explosion, which was quickly followed by
second OF less violence. Upon looking
out the window he discovered flashing
light in the bank building. He went out
of his house armed with rifle. From his
lawn he had a range on the front of the
vault door and began to fire. Eight shots
were fired In quick succession, four shots
passing through the window where the bur-
glars were supposed to have stood when
operating on the door. II is thought that
the crooks are the same who made the at
tempt on the bank on the night Of October
4 last and were frightened of. Mr.. Wether-
aid gave the alarm on the other occasion.
Friday morning it was learned that Miss
Ella Leizear's horse and buggy had been
stolen during the night from her stable In
Olney 1t was also learned that the burglars
built fire In the public school hcppe at
Olney and remained there until time to be
gin operations at Sandy Spring Remus
Oxford, young colored man, heard the rob
bers when they decamped with the team,
which had been secreted in the woods about
300 yards from Sandy Spring.
After Mr.. Wetherald gave the alarm
party assembled. The vault door was con
bent by the explosion and the
combination destroyed. An expert from
Baltimore was sent for to open the door.
The national bank was much inconven-
fenced Friday morning on account Of not
being able to obtain its books. The loss is
covered by insurance.
The horse which was stolen was found
without any harness on him by Geo. Bowen,
! colored man living about q mile back of
5pencerville, on a lonely road, Friday morn
ng, when he arose. The wagon was found
ate Friday mile farther back, near Pa
uxent river, secreted in marsh. The har-
ness was found in front OF the dayton, where I
/ was placed when the horse was unhltched.
The robbers were evidently badly frighten-
ID and must have become bewidered, as
hey left the public road and followed an
road across the farm Of Francis
+. Murphy, and the vehicle was found on
the farm of Louis II. Duvall. The men,
two in number, could be easily tracked
where they walked through field after
leaving the team. They were going in the
direction OF Spencerville, where they left
the public road.
