wick, Ill, Robbed of $500 by
a Gang OF Burglars.

three o'clock Wednesday morning lour
men drove into the little town of Ber-
wick, eight miles west of Abingdon,
Knox county, and going to the Farm
ers' State bank, picked the lock OF
the front door. Then they drilled inc
door of the vault and forced off the
combination, securing $500. The ex-

in the hands of the robbers who held
them at bay until they had loaded their
booty into the rig and driven toward
the east. All surrounding towns were
notified, but no trace of the robbers
has yet been found. w. C. Tubbs, pres
ident of the bank, says the loss Is full

these forgeries, the official stamps OF

quarters and of the judge advocates

genuine.

assured by the fact that both Maj
