BLEW ABANk TO
SMITHEREENS

Dickey, N. D., Oct. 4-Yeggmen de-
scended on Dickey at an early hour
this morning, exploded the safe in the
State Bank of Dickey, totally destroy
ing the building, and ma their es>
caps with $4,000. The robbers terror
lied the citizens by promiscuous
shooting and although the whole
town was alarmed, no one dared to
interfere with them. $50 4
There were two explosions. The
first took place almost at 2 O'Clock. 1t
shattered windows all over town and
awakened everyone. Two of the yegg-
men patrolled the streets near the
bank, firing their revolvers right and
left. Three other men could be seen
working among the ruins, and in
few minutes second explosion came.
The robbers then collected their booty
and fed.
A posse was formed early this
morning, but so far no trace of the
robbers has been found.
The bank building was totally de-
stroyed at a loss of about $1,000. The
safe was blown to pieces, and this
was worth $500. The bank carried
burglar insurance for 5000 with
Hatcher Brothers of Fargo.
The State Bankers association will
probably offer a $500 reward for the
apprehension and conviction of the
criminals.
