charge was a heavy one and it was a
cuckoo
I'VE scraped the money into a sack
and found that we would have to have
a team to haul it out of town. as 1t
was too heavy to carry. We had
planned on crossing the river, but
with the team we would have to lake
another direction, so we decided to
go to Trip. The bus team was the
first one we looked at, but they were
too heavy, and then we ran onto the
Greenfield rig and took it.
at took us just two hours and thir-
ty minutes to drive to the grove east
of Trip. The team was never put on
the run a single minute. 1t was a
good team, in fact, the best it has
aver been my pleasure to draw a rein
over.
I'VE were not more than forty min
utes in the bank, and we did not see
a single soul. When the money was
dragged to the corner, while we went
after the team, a man with a sixteen
shot Winchester rife stood over it,
with instructions to shoot everyone
that came in sight. This rife we
threw into a creek while we drove
over a bridge.
"In the grove we turned the team
into a fence so that they could not
get at water while they were so warm.
We then turned the rig over so that
it could not be seen from the highway.

water tank in time to catch the early
morning freight. We went % Mitchell
and from there to Woolsey. From
Woolsey we went to Tracy, Mimi,
where we had breakfast on Thursday

bank WRECKERS TELL Of ROBBERY
Give Much New Information Relative to Springfield
Robbery-Robbers Secure S S $780,.

Contrary to the usual custom of *
pert bank wreckers, who decline to talk
Of their exploits and methods, pad
dy" Carol, who, with three compan-
ions, was recently placed in the Sioux
Falls ~penitentiary to serve long terms
for the robbery of the Bank of Spring
field, at Springfield, s. d., on the
morning Of Oct. 5 last, has made a
statement for publication. Himself
and companions secured the sun of
5000 in cash as the result of the
Springfield robbery, and escaped for
the time being by selling the team
and carriage Of Mrs. DR.. Greenfield of
Avon, who was visiting in Springfield
the night Of the robbery.
CAROLS statement throws new light
on many features of the robbery, and
Is as follows:
81 left Parkston on Sunday (Oct. q
and drove to Tyndall with a horse
trader. We reached Tyndall about 9
p. m. At Tyndall we got hold of a
sack and bought some canned goods,
bread and beer. The horse trader left
this stuff under the railway bridge just
below Springfield for us and drove on
across the Missouri and into Ne
braska.
eve walked down from Tyndall to
Springfield on Tuesday night, stopping
at McNeilI's for a drink. 1t was I that
called for the water at this place. We
went down to the bridge, ate lunch,
went up to the stock yards and got a
drink Of water, and then went up
town. We waited under a large tree
between Shows house and the town
for a while, and then went up town
and looked over the situation.
Cali day Wednesday we hid in the
brush along the river and not far from
the bridge.
"wednesday at about midnight we
went up town and by 2:30 a.. m. broke
In the front door Of the bank. At
first we tried to pick a hole in the
side Of the vault. We o o decided
that that would take too long so we

The department has been taking up
many sound municipal loans the past
year, but out of the total amount
loaned for that period more than half
a million dollars was on farm property
that class of loans always taking up
a larger part of the fund than all
others combined. The sum of $3.50 5
was loaned to school districts, s37,45O
to municipalities and $45 900 to coun-
ties for last year.
Faulk county took the required cash
from the school fund for the erection
of it's e court house; municipal
loans were made in the counties of
Codington. DAILY, Grant, Gregory, Ham
lin, Hyde and Moody. and school dis
trict bonds, running from 5000 in
Stanley to $11 1900 in Hamlin county,
were made during the year.
For the first time in the history Of
the state every county now holds in
vestments of the permanent school
fund. Stanley asked for any Of
the fund previous to the past year, but
in organizing its school districts it is
finding a place for the cash. At no
time within the past year has the
permanent fund been allowed to accu.
mulate, and it has all been kept busy
drawing the income which helps re-
duce local taxation in the school dis
tricts Of the state.
1t is the hope Of Commissioner Bach
that he can bring this fund for dis
tribution up to half a million dollars
for this, his last year in the office.
