ANOTHER BANK ROBBERY.
The First National Bank at Cam
bridge, ILL.,, Robbed by
Burglars of $4,000.
ONLY MADE 4 TEMPORARY GETiwkY.
After q Chase Lasting q Few Hours
the Robbers Were 0verhauled
and Captured and Taken TO the
Henry County Jsil-The stolen
Money Not Recovered.

Peoria, III, Feb. A special to the
Journal says: The First national
bank at Cambridge was robbed of
$4,000 at two o'clock Tuesday morn
ing, and within a few hours the rob-
bers were captured by the citizens
and marched to the county Jail,
where they are now held pending an
examination. No trace of the money
has yet been discovered, but it will
be found shortly, as the robbers had
practically no time in which to make
any great concealment of it.
At 2 a. IN. the city was aroused by
the explosion. After the robbers had
started 10 work a snow had com
menced falling, This increased in
volume, and it was an easy matter
for the posse to track the robbers to
barn two miles east of the city.
The -four men were found buried be-
meath the straw, and were taken to
the town The robbers stole hand
car az Galva, IA miles east, and aban-
doned it one mile east. They were
evidently making Tor this car, OH
which they hoped TO escape, but they
were unable TO do this on account of
the stow storm prevailing at the time
they should have made their escape.
The identity of the robbers has not
yet been established.
The burglars took all the cash
from the safe, leaving behind the Sc.
curities and valuable papers It held
The money represented all the cash
resources Of the bank, and its loss
will temporarily embarrass many
business men as we'll as the institu.
ton.
The bank occupies the ground floor
OF brick block near the courthouse.
and its big windows, which render all
OF the interior visible, have been con.
sidered safeguard against visits
from the cracksmen who have raided
banks in so many other Mississippi
