Saturdays dailies contained an
account of the robbery of Scott Coun-
! ty bank at Morley, Mo, of which in
stitution Maj. W. w. Ward is vice
president. Mr.. Ward is relative of
the Angus family here and will be
remembered as having visited in this
locality last summer. The robbery
was one of the boldest on record and
occurred at two O'Clock in the morn
ing. The perpetrators secured gold
! and silver to the amount of $4,000
and were not captured, although
many residents of the town, awakened
by the explosion of the safe, saw them
depart.
-Anent the passing of the old
courthouse the conversation of the
loungers about the building and on
the streets has turned to history in
the early time when the building
was constructed as to whether the
corner stone laid was attended by
any appropriate ceremony and if per-
haps something in the nature of pap
ers wasdeposited within it to be
preserved until the structure was at
some future period changed or re-
built. Old settlers differ as to their
opinions advanced on the question
and none are positive in regard to the
matter. If anyone can enlighten the
Herald on this subject of Grant county
history we will consider it a favor.
