town twenty miles north of this city,
occurred early this morning
About O'Clock two men APP
preached the town night Watchmap
ilyrum Evans under the guiso Of tell
egraph linemen, and made inquiry as
TO the location OF some wires
Catching the watchman Off his
guard. they overpowered and dis
armed him
They compelled him to conduct
them To the home OF l.. f. Ellison
cashier OF the bank, one half mile
away. Here they broke in the win-
dow Of the bedroom and with revoly-
ers covered the rudcly awakened
cashier and his wife.
Cashier Ellison was ordered to ac-
company them To the bank iu his
bare feet and partially clothed,
His wife was warned that If she
made any attempt to call assistance
her husband would be killed. and to
enforce the warning the robbers cut
the telephone wires entering the resi-
dence
Both Cashier Ellison and the night
Watchman We're marched To the bank
at the point of a revolver by the two
bandits, and the cashier was ordered
to open the vault door.
He complied. hut informed the rob
bers that the inner door was locked
with time lock and that it was Inn
possible for him to proceed further
even at the forfeit of his life. After
a consultation between the two roh-
hers, it was finally concluded to give
up the job
They took few dollars out of the
night watchmans pocket and made
an unsuccessful search for loose
change around the banks drawers.
Before leaving the bank they
placed the cashier and night watch
man inside the vault ana closed the
door on them. after which they went
TO Cashier lsllison's stable and stole
two horse ON which they rode away
After two hours tugging the cashier
and night watchman succeeded in re-
opening the vault door and gave the
alarm.
There is no doubt in the minds OF
the police here that the principal I'm
the attempted robbery is the man
who led q similar raid ON bank at
Glenwood Springs, colo, last fall
when $4,000 was secured. one al
the GlenWood robbers were convict
ed, but the chief actor escaped. His
