MISSOURI BANK ROBBED.
The Bank of Union, Mo-, Entered by Burglars and the Safe
 and Vault Blown.
FIFTEEN THOUSAND DOLLARS SECURED.
The Robbers Kept Up FusIiIade In the Streets, But the Citizens Who Heard the Noise Thought It Was Boys Celebrating Christma. and Let 1t Go.

Union, Mo, Dec. 2s.-The Bank of. Union, Mo, was entered by burglars between one and two o'clock Satar day morning. A little after one o'clock loud explosion was heard and several shots were fired around the public square. Most of the citi- zens who heard the noise supposed it was boys celebrating Christmas and paid no attention to it.
 Oscar Busch, hardware dealer, liv- ing across the street, thought the bank was being robbed, but when he went to the window to look out WIS covered by a revolver andsforced to keep quiet
 The work was complete, the vault door and the safe were completely wrecked as was the whole interior of the bank. The glass front of the building was also destroyed.
 Nitro glycerine was the explosive used
 The entire contents of the safe was taken By two o'clock the work was done and the men left town, walking to the east.
 F ". Reinhard, the president Of the bank, is very sick at his home and he was not told of the robbery.
 \. N. Hoffman, the cashier, was called after it was all over He esti- mates the loss at about $i5,000. The bank carried o,oo0 insurance against burglary.
 There Is no clew to the robbers but they were undoubtedly professionals. About 50 shots were fired to terrorize any person who might want to ven- ture out. Some say seven men were seen around town between midnight and one o'clock, but Mir. Busch says but two men left the bank after the robbery.
