Two daring robberies were COM

The safe at the A. and N. E. depot
was blown open and some $50 worth
of change was taken. When that was
done entrance was gained to the bank
through back window and two
charges of nitroglycerine exploded in
an attempt to get at the money in the
safe. Citizens heard the explosion of
the first charge and managed to give
an alarm. One man, who was STAYING
at the Athens House, came out of the
| N.
One of the gang fired two shots at
him to keep him from going back into
the hotel, stunned him by striking
him on the head with the butt of the
revolver and then made him walk
back and forth between the bank and
depot. A second explosion failed to
open the money vault of the bank.
The fire bell was rung and brought
people to the scene a few minutes
later, but the robbers managed to get
away, two going on a speeder stolen
from the freight house and three by
means of rig which was waiting on
| the depot bridge No trace of those
who escaped by rig has yet been found
| and no rig had been hired from any
| livery barn in the vicinity. The two
who left on the speeder were held up
at Milan, where the people had been
warned OF their coming. At Milan
the speeder was abandoned and the
money taken at the depot was found
in two stolen coats which were left
behind. None of the robbers have
yet been captured.
