YECCMEN ARE KNOWN
OLD PROFESSIONALS
IN WORK or ROBBERY
~Dynamiters os the Bank of Tea
Recognized as Former
Dakota Convicts.

Sioux Falls, S. D., June Although
the three men arrested in Sioux Falls
on the charge Of having robbed the
Farmers Savings bank, at Tea, near
o Fails. last Friday morning, have
steadily refused to give their names
or any other information concerning
themselves, two of them Ia been
Identified as former prisoners in the
Sioux Falls ~penitentiary. One Of the
fellows who apparently is the oldest of
the trio, has been identified as Ed.
Gordon, who served four years on a
sentence imposed in Nebraska at a
time when federal prisoners from that
state were brought to the Sioux Falls
penitentiary. The other who has been
Unidentified completed a term of six
months November ], last, for grand lar
ceny committed in Miner county.
The three prisoners will be COM
PEELED to pass the summer in the Lin
coin county jail, as a term OF state,
circuit court will not V in Lin
colin county until ext September, and,
they cannot be tried until that time.
At first it was supposed that five.
men were implicated in the Tea rob-,
bers, but the authorities are now con-
WINGED hat only three men-those al
tured In Sioux Falls-were concerned
in the robbery and accordingly the,
search for the two supposed fugitives.
has been abandoned.
When Cashier Hoyer, of the robbed
bank, was aroused by the explosion
and hurried to the scene and opened,
fire on the fleeing robbers with a shot.
gun n of them fell, n he believed
he had wounded him. AS none of the.
three captured in Sioux Falls bore thei
evidence of a wound, il a believed a
wounded robber and one companionI
had escaped. But Cashier Hoyer now
Is convinced that the robber, instead
of being wounded, simply stumbled and
fell, and vas one of the three captured
In Sioux Falls.
In addition to the $642,10 found in
possession Of the three men when they
were arrested here, quite a sum was
found on the ground near Tea, at the
spot where one Of the robbers fell,
leaving only about $500 which has not
yet been recovered. In some quarters
II is believed this amount was buried
at some point between Tea and Sioux
Falls, while others believe the money
was given to q confederate OF the men
after they reached Sioux Falls. 1t is
scarcely probable hat the money yet
missing will be recovered.
