BANK WAS HIT HARD
Cracksmen Blew the Safe of a Rich
Hill, Mo-, Bank and Secured
Twenty-Five Thousand.
Special to the Herald.

Special to the Herald.
Rich Hill, Mo-, Feb. 12.-Cracksmer
blew the safe of the Farmers anC
Manufacturers Bank here this morn
ing at 1890, and secured, according
to Cashier ]. w. Jamison, between
twenty and twenty-five thousand dol
lars. Two explosions followed one
another in quick succession, wrecking
the building, and blowing the outer
vault and the inner safe. 1t is thought
that three men were connected with
the work. A strange feature of the
robbery is that no one was seen by
the night policemen, who following
the reports fired a number of shots
to awaken the people of the town. A
posse is now scattered over the en-
tire section, looking for the robbers.
Governor Folk today offered a $500
reward for each of the Willard bank
robbers. He will also offer rewards
for the robbers who wrecked the bank
here this morning. The bank building
cost $4,000, and was damaged to the
extent of about $4,000. No trace has
yet been heard of the robbers. The
bank had two safes in which it kept
its money, almost equally divided,
and only one safe was looted The
bank opened for business one hour
later than usual this morning.

The facts regarding this interesting

statement. In the spring OF. the year
1919 the magnificent oceangoing steam
yacht belonging to Senior Don Herman
iCortez entered the harbor of Vera

Cruz Senior Cortez was taken ashore
in his naphtha launch. He was met
on the beach by the representatives Of
Montezuma, who took him for an in
land spin in an eighty-horsepower au-
tomobile. The idea Of the Tehaunte-
pee railway developed In the mind Of
Cortez in consequence of the frequent
puncturing Of the rubber tires of the
car by cactus thorns as the machine
plowed Its way through the jungles.
Alas! Cortez neglected to live long
