a most sensational attempt was
made last night to wreck the bank mt
the little town of Ridgway, In our"S

walls of the iron and steel safe pre-

When Cashier Walthers attempted to
open the vault this morning he found
some sticks fastened I'm the door. sus-
pecting that something was wrong, an
investigation was started. Efforts to
open the vault were unsuccessful.
Then II was discovered that robbers
had dug through the cement hooring
of the vault, entered the vault and
then with nitrogIycerine had attempt-
ed to wreck the steel safe wherein w"s
