BANK ROBBERS
BLOW SAFE In THE PEEVER
STATE BANK. AND GET AWAY
WITH $1,000.


STATE BANK. AND GET AWAY
WITH $1,000.
Supposed Robbers Arrested ut Ort-
ley Saturday Morning and taken
to SissetOn.
The Peever State Bank at
Peever was burglarized last Fri
day morning. the safe door being
blown off with nitroglycerine,
and some $1,000 in urrency,
gold and silver were secured by
the robbers. The explosion
awakened number of the people
of the town, aud when it was
discovered what was taking place
several shots were exchanged,
but the robbers ordered those
who attempted to do any thing 60
keep quiet under penalty of
death, and the burglars, of whom
there were three, one in the bank
and two posted out side, got
away with the booty. They had
come down from Sisseton on
motor en- the railroad and they
went down to near Wilmot on it,
where it was found ditched the
next day. At Wilmot they ap.
proprlated a hand.car and this
was brought down as far as the
dam at this place, where it was
later tished out of the water.
The robbers had cut the tele.
phone and telegraph wires at
Peever, but a posse had taken up
the pursuit and word was for
warded to the authorities at
Sisseton, aud immediate steps
taken to apprehend il possible
the perpetrators of the crime.
On Saturday by order of the
Roberts county sheriff three
fellows, answering to the dis
cription given by Peever people
who had seen the burglars, were
arrested and brought to this city
Saturday night, and on Sunday
morning were taken to Sisseton
to await hearing. The mel when
arrested were unarmed and had
but a small amount of money,
not over ten dollars upon their
persons. 1t is believed the right
parties have been secured, but
they had plenty of time to put in
hiding the stolen money before
being apprehended. 1t is also
surmised that the three men who
we're actively engaged in the
robbery had confederates who
were on hand at convenient
place to relieve them of the booty
they had secured. To substan-
tiate this view of the case it is
said a party of suspicious charac-
ters who had been making head
quarters IN Marshall county
suddenly took their departure
the day before the bank was
robbed. It is also stated that q
resident of Peever met the men
about II o'clock Thursday night
pushing a handcar along the
track near Peeyer. The men
told him to get along home as it
was too late for him to be out.
The man went home and In the
morning hearing of the robbery
decided the three men he met
must be the ones who hailed him
the night before. When taken
into custody at Ortley it is stat
ed the men told the marshal it
was no use to resist, and they
knew what they were wanted
for. The Peever bank is owned
by business men of the town,
Mr.. Rice being cashier. The
loss is covered by burglar in
surance to the amount of IS, 900.
Some fragments of currency,
one a piece of 500 bill. and
several pieces of s. and $40 bills
that looked as if they may have
been torn by an explosion, were
found by a couple of boys on
Saturday on the railroad bridge
west of town, but these may
have been placed there with q
purpose in view.
