A BOLD ROBBERY. The bank at
Brideer, in Carbon county Mont, was en-
tered By three masked men yesterday and
Cashier Trumbo was relieved of 81, 900.
Immediately after the robbery the men
left on horseback for the Crow reserya-
ton. A pursuing party has been organi-
zed. The scene of the robbery is in the
vicinity of the famous Hole in the Wall
country, for years the hiding place of
thieves and desperadoes. The robbery
occurred at noon. Cashier Trumbo was
at work inside the rail, when he was
aware of two men entering the bank. He
looked up to see two revolvers pointed
directly at his head. A third man, also
armed, stood ut the door. "Hold up your
hands," said one of the two robbers.
Mr.. Trumbo complied. At this instant
Mail Carrier Frank Williams appeared
at side door and was Immediately
covered by two pistols. Williams and
Trumbo were ordered to face the wall.
While one man covered them with his
pistols, the other man ran behind the
counter and took all the money in sight.
The three men stepped out of the door,
mounted their horses, aud fled. Every
horse in sight was pressed into service
and pursuit was begun. A mile and a
half out of town the posse began shoot
ing from the saddle. The robbers wheeled
in their seats, returned the fire, and held
their ursurer loft until they reached tie
timber. They have not been seen since.
1t is believed the men will make for the
'Hole in the Walr' country.

Store on King Street Robbed.

About twenty dollars in money was
stolen from Mr.. G. NJ. Adams's store,
All King street, last night. 1t was an
ideal time tor a robbery. Rain was fall
ing and the street was probably desert
ed at the time the store was invaded.
The thieves removed the grating from
the platform over the basement on the
front of the street and descended, work
ing their way through the labyrinth of
goods until they reached stairway in
the rear which they assembled to the store
proper. There are two money drawers
one on the eastand the other on the west
side of the store. They rifed both of
their contents, as well as a paper cuff
box on the west side which was also used
as depository for money. A one-dollar
bill was lying under sock box on the
west side of the store with about quar-
ter of an inch of it protruding. The
thieves found that also and carried it off.
1t is believed the burglars used light,
as it would have been impossible for
them to have worked their way through
the stacks of goods on both floors with
out the use of the same. 1t is evident
also that the thieves were well ac-
quainted with the premises as well as
with the places in which money was
kept. The cuff box, which contained
most of the change left in the store, was
on shelf with a number of similar
boxes, and its location was supposed to
have been known only to the proprie-
tors. The dollar-bill which had been
placed under the sock box was to have
been paid to a man who would have call
ed for it today. AS stated above, a
small part of it only was visible, and no
one was supposed to know its where
abouts but the proprietor who put it
fhnre
