in it they prayed for death. Kikuyiro
was their only son. They We're old and
nearly ready for the time when every

ATTEMPTED BANK ROR..
Berry
First state Bank al RevillO.
Entered Wednesday Morn +
ing and Safe Blown
Omen "a,

Burglars entered the First
State Bank at Revillo, Wednes-
day morning, at about three
o'clock, and nearly succeeded in
robbing the same. They blew
the outer safe open with dyna.
mite, and had a charge in the
smaller one, but were scared
away by Mr.. Shultz, a barber,
who lives across the street, and
, who hearing the explosion went
to the window and fred a S hot
gun.
Dan Rourk, druggist near
by, hearing a noise, also came
upon the scene in time to help
scare them away before com
pleting their work. The rob-
bers then took a team and buggy
belonging to E. w. Healy, man
ager OF the S. L. Bowman lum.
Der Yards. They were success
ful in escaping from Revillo be.
fore very many of the citizens
had arrived. They we're traced
as far as Big Stone City, near
where they left Mr.. Healy's team
in a small grove.
Sheriff Murray was notified
shortly after the robbers had
left Revillo and drove out south
of town TO head them off in case
they should go through that part
OF the country, but saw nothing
of them.
The State Bank of Revillo is
capitalized at 5000 with a sur
plus of $1,000. Thos. Daylor is
president and Thos. Daylor, ir.,
cashier. 1t is fortunate some
one was near and heard the first
explosion, and thus cut off the
successful designs of the rob
bers.
Thos. Daylor, the president of
OF the bank, is in Iowa, on busi-
ness.
Up to the present writing,
no further clues to the robbers
have been found. They evident
ly went into town after dark as
no one around the village saw
them, consequently after aban-
doning their team near Big Stone
there is no way of Identifying
them.
