Island Believed.

Yeggemen who have been robbing
banks unchecked in this section Of the
country the past three years operated
successfully at Sherrard early this
morning. although they did not get
away with the amount of money that
they figured on, apparently having
been frightened just as they were 10

that would have opened the strong box
Of the safe. The robbers, of whom it
is believed there were three, drove out
OF town in a rig that was stolen earlier
in the night from the premises OF
George Beck. near Presumption. In
their flight the robbers followed the
Knoxville road. They were reported
seen passing through Milan at o'clock
this morning A hour later the horse
and buggy were found on Aiken street.

the trio walked from that point into
this city.
DOOR FRIED OPEN.
In gaining an entrance to the Farm
ers' bank al Sherrard a door was pried
open. presumably with a crowbar. AT
2 o'clock guests at the Sherrard hotel
were aroused by a succession of three
reports that had the sound of explo-
tsions Immediately il was suspected
that robbers were operating in the Vi
entity. and the telephones we're
brought into play 10 awaken citizens
to lead in an investigation. II is sur
missed that the yeggemen in the bank
got an linking that they had made too
much noise for their own security and
comfort and they decamped. Upon an
investigation at the bank ii was dis
covered that three charges of nitro
glycerine had been exploded in blow
ing open the safe. Only the outer door
had been loosened. A coin holder con-
tanning 800 was lifted. A fourth
charge of the explosive had been placed
for the purpose of ripping open the
doors leading TO the inner reCesses of
the safe in which were stored larger
sums Of money, but before the fire had
been applied the robbers doubtless be-
came aware that their operations had
attracted attention and they decamped
The horse and buggy that had been
stolen and in which the three men had
driven into the town, was stationed
Cearby. it is supposed, at any rate
few minutes after the guests had been
aroused at the hotel all traces of the
robbers had been lost.
POLICE ARE NOTIFIED.
The police departments of the tri-
cities were Immediately communicated
with. together with Sheriff o. l. BTu-
ner at the Rock Island county Jail.
Farmers along the roads leading north
from Sherrard were aroused by teIe-

seen three men go by in buggy short
" after he had been notified OF the
robbery.
