IL o'clock yesterday morning and Sc
cured $3.50 spent the day in Des
Moines, driving here from the town
with team and rig which they stole
from the livery stable Of Andrew Mar
| tin OF that place. They arrived here
at an early hour in the morning and
after tying their team in front of the
residence of Sheriff Mattern, between
Thirteenth and Fourteenth on. East
| Walnut street, crossed the city and
made their way to Valley Junction,
where 1t is thought that they boarded
a Rock Island freight and made their
escape. Eli Hardin, chief of detec.
tives, was notified Of the crime yes
terday morning and at once detailed
Detectives McNutt and Walsh on the
case.
Ben Gilbert, cashier of the bank
that was robbed, was In the city last
night and gave the police department
descriptions of the men that are
thought to have done the job. He
| said:
"As near as we are able to tell the
robbery was committed some time
along about Q in the morning. The
men forced their way into the bank
and as there was nothing that would
be of any use to them in the outer
oflce at once began work on the vault.
When we came in the morning we
found that the dial of the vault had
been blown of and then an explosive
of some sort had been placed in the
cavity formed, and when this was
touched of all that remained to be
done was to open the door and they
were in the vault. On one Of the
shelves we had $180.insifvar that WIG,
used in the bank for change and every
cent of this wasFgone.
I'm the vaul. is the safe in which
we keep the money that is on deposit,
and II the burglars had succeeded in
opening 4tilis they would have found
$4,000. They evidently knew that
we bad a large amount on hand and
WHIT was in this safe was no doubt
WHAT they were after, for the seams
had been soaped and cup placed under
the dial ready to knock it off with an
explosive. Why they didn't do the job
is more than can tell, but undoubteu-
ly some noise frightened them away
and in this way we were saved from a
big loss. This Is the condition that
we found the safe in when we discov-
cred the robbery in the morning, so
we will probably never know why
the thieves left the vault when they
were right within reach of all this
