BANK is ENTERED
SEVENTH IN RAPID SERIES OF
CRIMINAL ATTEMPTS PROVES
UNSUCCESSFUL.
ALL near THE TWIN CITIES
Robbers Flee in Midst of Work on
Steel Safe.-Drops Of NitrogIy-
cerine on Floor; TWo-Foot
Brick Wall Pierced.

Minneapolis, Minimize seventh
in a two months series of attempted
or successful bank robbers and safe
blowings occurring in the twin cities
and outlying towns occurred when
robbers entered the State Bank OF
Robbinsdale, by cutting through the
solid wall of the vault and fleeing
only before exploding a charge OF nj
troglycerine which was prepared for
the safe.
Every one of these depredations has
occurred since July A. They include,
besides minor robberies, the White
Bear bank outrage, the attempt to
blow up the safe in the Twin City
bank at Midway, the attempt to blow
the Mendoza postoffice safe, the hold
up of the cashier of the Wayzata State
bank and the Cedar avenue saloon
holdup and fatal duel.
Get Only $50.
The Robbinsdale robbers got only
$50. This was in the vault, but out
side the safe. They escaped hours be-
fore the crime was known, and left
only their evidences behind.
The careful preparation is taken to
indicate that the men were expert
enced. They broke first into the great
Northern section house, took out the
hand-car and placed it on a side
track ready for hasty fight.
Next they forced a door in the
bank and set to work on the brick
wall of the vault This was two feet
thick, but hole was cut sufficiently
large to admit the passage of man
and the crevices around the safe door
was soaped to hold the nitroglycerine.
Several drops of the explosive were
found on the floor, indicating that the
men even had the stuff ready to pour
into the joints when some noise ap-
parently frightened them.
The bottle which contained the nj
troglycerine was not to be found.
Grain Sacks Used.
Grain sacks had been placed on the
floor to deaden the sound of the fall
ing door. Their preparations complet-
ed, the men left, taking only the $50
which. had been left in the vault after
the bulk of the cash was locked up.
No one knows what caused their
fright, for the robbery was not discov-
opened the bank and the section
hands found the hand-car on the
tracks.

Peary's Latest Statement.

Battle Harbor, Labrador (By wire

tated the following statement to the
Associated Press for publication:
81 am the only white man who has
ever reached the north pole, and l am
prepared to prove it at the proper
time | have already stated publicly
that Cook has not been to the pole.
This | re-affirm and | will stand by it,
but | decline to discuss the details
here. The result will come out later.
| have said that DR.. Cooks statement
that he had reached the north pole
should not be taken seriously, and
that I have him nailed by concrete
proofs to support my statement. In
six months you probably will get the
whole story. 1t would not be policy
for me to enter upon full debate
with the subject as it now stands. To
do so | would be giving out much in
be made I intend to wait until DR..
Cook has issued his full authorized
statements. Up to the present time
there have been only newspaper &C
counts of Dr. Cooks alleged polar
trip, and these may or may not be
accurate. When DR.. Cook has time
to issue a complete authorized YER
sion of his journey it will be the pro
per opportunity for me to make public
the information which 1 have After
that the jury-in other words, the
people and the scientific bodies of the
world-will pass judgment on the mat
ter, and there will then be nothing
left of Dr. Cooks case but his own
assertions that he has reached the
north pole. In the meanwhile it is
my determination not to deal with de.
bates for the reasons already stated
-"Roberty E. Peary."

Bolivia's Mineral Wealth.

Bolivia is famous for its silver, but
also possesses considerable quantities
of gold, which, however, cannot be ex-
tracted without great expense. In
the seventeenth century an Indian
near the town of La Paz found a mass
of gold, supposed to have been de-
tached from the neighbo-ing noun
tain by lightning. Bolivia is, on the
whole, in backward condition, politi-
cal changes and internal conflicts hav-
ing hindered the development of its
natural wealth.
