SEMINOLE BANK ROBBERY
Two Masked Men Hold up
Cashier and Secure SO, 10000,
and Get Away,

Information was wired to
Sheriff Flynn last Thursday that
the Seminole National Bank had
been robbed of So, 500.0 and the
robbers were at large, and re-
quested our sheriff to be on the
lookout for them. A description
being given as nearly as the
cashier could give.
The story Of the robbery is
about as follows:
About 2:30 p. M, Thursday,
two men rode into that town,
hitched their horses to a tele-
phone pole, at the rear Of the
Seminole National Bank. and
entered the building, one having
his face partially covered with a
handkerchief, while the other
wore a stubby beard, which
might have been false. The
cashier of the bank, who was
Mr.. Haney, son of our fellow
townsman, was the only one in
the bank at the time and he was
confronted with a couple of six
shooters pointed directly in his
face and commanded to hoist his
hands, being rather slow to
obey he was given TO understand
that they wanted them raised
ght now, which request he
implied with. They command
him to face the wall. which
sition he was forced to take
d maintain. by one of the men
lille the other proceeded to go
to the safe and rake out all the
ash he could get his hands on.
dr. Haney was then forced into
the vault and locked up. after
which the robbers made their
getaway. no one suspicioning

that they had been into any
mischief. About thirty minutes
passed before any one entered
the bank building, when a Mr..
White entered the man in the
vault followed to him. and his
condition was at once discovered.
Mr.. Haney told him as best he
could how to work the combina-
ton, Mr.. Lord, was at once
telephoned and went to the bank
and opened the vault. and re-
leasing the cashier, who at once
told the story OF the robbery.
Sheriff Lord at once gathered
up a posse of men who armed
for the occasion persued the
robbers, it being known that
they left town in a direct west
erly direction no doubt intent
on getting into the mountains of
New Mexico as soon as possibly.
1t was soon discovered that
they had made provisions for
their escape as they had intend
ed cutting Seminole off from
telephone connection with out
side points, as the long distance
lines to New Mexico aad Midland
were cut, but they overlooked an
important line, that to Lamesa,
and Midland was reached and
in New Mexico were
notified Of the robbery. The
Plains line was also intact. and
the towns north and northwest
were also put next. and strangers
are being watched with a critical
eye.

of this article they have not
