MCCORMICK SALOON
BURNS AT Vail
Well Known Thirst Parlor Of That
Place is Totally Destroyed by
Midnight Fire.
Entire Business Section Threatened
and Only Saved by Prompt and
Efficient Action of Firemen.

At midnight Tuesday night the j.
j. Mccormick saloon, a prominent
landmark on the corner of Wallis main
business street, was totally destroyed
by fire. The building and stock are a
total loss, estimated at $4,000, with in
surance at $500.
The fire had made such headway be-
fore it was discovered that it was
soon realized that all efforts to save
the building would be in vain, the fire.
men therefore turned their energies
towards saving the building on the
north, occupied by the Farmers State
bank, and on the west, occupied as
creamery derot. 1t was only by the
greatest effort that these buildings
were saved, and had they gone it is
probable that the entire business Sec
ton on the west side of Wallis main
street would have been destroyed. The
bank building was injured somewhat
by water and the creamery building
was practically uninjured.
The fire demonstrated the fact that
Vail has fine fire department and
that the water pressure is sufficient
to deal very effectively with the
flames. Vail people regret the loss
which Mr.. Mccormick sustains, but
are congratulating themselves that
the town escaped as luckily as it did
conflagration.

SHOULD CHANGE
TRAIN SCHEDULE
Schedule is 0isap-
pointment to Oenison People
and Ought to be Changed.
Have to Change Cars at Carroll and
Wait for LocaI-Chicago Train
East Does not Stop Mornings.

The Northwestern officials com.
Denison papers of last week on ac-
count of the change of schedule recent
ly made which Disseminated against
Denison. The Review has no desire
to do the company any injustice, and
hastens to correct the statement that
in going east at night it would be nee
essary to take the local and change at
Carroll in order to make proper time
not affect the evening train going
east, and that the trains due at 1928,
S:16 and S:24 all stop here, but there
are other changes that are exceeding
ly disappointing to Denison people
who have occasion to travel over the
Northwestern road.
There are but two trains from Chi
cago through here in the morning,
neither of which is scheduled to stop.
They leave Chicago about six o'clock
in the evening and until recently stop
ped here. A passenger from Chicago
to DenisOn is compelled to get off the
train at Carroll at an unreasonable
hour in the morning and wait for the
local that arrives here about 1920. An
other change which is disappointing is
that fast train passing through here
between nine and ten O'Clock in the
for Chicago does not stop in
Denison, but local train runs per-
haps half an hour ahead of it that
Observation-Disclosures Carroll, where :.
the Chicago passenger from Denison
can change and take the fast train. AS
there are no other trains in the nrorTl-
ing for Chicago, it is hardly fair to
DeniSon passenger that he must
change cars in orGer to make proper
time to the city. In these two re-
spects the schedule should be changed
so that passengers from Chicago can
reach here in the morning without
having 10 wait around the station at
Carro!l for several hours to take the
local. We imagine the company wila
be compelled to correct their schedule
o. else suffer severe criticism.

BANK ROBBERY
AT DOW CITY
Bank Safe is Dynamited and Over
Three Thousand Dollars is
Secured.
He ROBBERS LEAVE NO CLUE
Yeggmen Work Silently and Swiftly
Wreck the Safe, Secure Coin
and Leave by Automobile.

On Thursday night the Bank of Dow
City was entered by robbers, the brick
vault was rapidly demolished with
picks and cr,wbars, the steel safe
was dynamited and completely wreck.
ed, upwards of thirty-three hundred
dollars in coin and currency was Sc
cured and no real clue was left as to
the perpetrators of the deed.
When Assistant Cashier Virgins
opened the Bank of Dow City at eight
o'clock on Friday morning single
glance told the story of depreciation.
The bricks and mortar of the vault
were strewn about the floor, there
were splinters of steel upon the floor,
both the inner and the outer doors
of the big safe had been torn from
their hinges and the goodly amount
of cash, more than three thousand
dollars of it, was missing. The alarm
was Immediately given, but up to date
no clew that could lead to the arrest
OF the bold bandits has been discov-
cred.
It was evidently the work of profess
sional yeggmen, men who had done
like jops before, who had studied the
lay Of The ground and who had their
plans perfectly laid before they made
their midnight raid.
The story of the deed can only be
pieced together from the evidences
they LETT behind them. In the first
place the tool house of the Northwest
ern road had been broken into and
picks and bars had been stolen. Next
there was a we'll arranged barricade
OF barrels and boxes, purloined from
the Virgins store across the street.
These had been placed by the side
of the bank in such position that a
man could hide behind them and still
maintain a lookout up and down the
business street. Had the robbers
been interrupted and fired upon the
barrels afforded a sufficient protec-
L1Ou against le'Ol'el oilot. Hc
bank had evidently been entered from
the front door, probably by the use
of skeleton key. Once inside, and
with their lookout posted, the rob
bers proceeded to the back room of
the bank This partition served their
purpose well as even had some one
passed they would have been unob
served. TO go through the brick
wall with picks and crowbars was evi-
dently but the work of few minutes.
Next the cracks OF the safe door were
we'll soaped, then the charge of dyna-
mite was placed with sufficient fuse
to enable the robbers to get out of
danger.
The Denison review. [volume] (Denison, Iowa) 1867-current, 1911-01-04

The explosion was violent but there
was comparatively little noise. After
waiting few moments to make sure
that no alarm had been given by the
sound the burglars re-entered the
bank. They found that their work had
been complete and satisfactory; not
only the outer door, but the inner
door of the safe had been blown off,
even the lock of the cash box had been
demolished. 1t was but the work of
a few moments to transfer the coin
and currency to satchel carried for the
purpose. There was no time to search
the safety deposit boxes which the
vault also contained; there was no
desire to take any of the valuable pa
pers. They could not be converted in
to cash readily and to do so would
be to leave cleW. All the robbers
wished was the cash and this they
took as quickly and quietly as possi-
BILE. Down the street, probably back
of the Virgins store, their auto
waited for them; they ran across the
street, sprang into the machine,
which was ready for instant fight,
and left the scene of their crime. They
went quietly and slowly through the
deserted streets of the sleeping vii
lage, but when once out of hearing
they went like mad. Farmers near
Dunlap report hearing an auto going
at high rate of speed during the
night. There is report that machine
tore westward through Logan about
four o'clock in the morning.
Since the robbery every effort has
been made to get some tangible clew
to the robbers. Up to this time it is
reported that nothing has been ac-
complished. The officers may know
more than they are willing to tell, but
we believe this is not the case.
The Bank of Dow City is branch
of the First National Bank of this
city and is owned by the McHenry
family. The loss will not in any way
interfere with the solvency of the in
stitution, nor would loss a hundred
times as great. There was no insur-
ance. 1t appears that the McHenry's
have been carrying insurance on the
deposits in their three banks, the poi
icies expired at different dates and
it had been thought best to renew
them all together on January first In
this way the insurance on the Dow
City bank was allowed to lapse last
November. Rather an unfortunate
lapse for the owners of the bank It
would seem almost impossible that
such a robbery could take place in
the very heart of Dow City without
arousing anyone of the inhabitants.
1t would seem that the night watch,
if the city has one, must have been
asleep along with the rest of the peo.
pie. Probably it was fortunate for
him that he did not detect the rob-
berS, as they were evidently deter
mined, professional criminals and
would have put up a fight before be-
ing captured.
Everyone will sympathize with the
owners of the bank in their loss and
it is certainly reflection upon our
and upon our methods of
police protection that such crimes can
be committed with apparent impunity.
