TOM KELLY THOUGHT TO BE
ONE OF GANG OF YEGGMEN

Tom Kelley, who was held over to
the grand jury on the charge Of the at
tempted robbery Of the Pioneer Drug
store, but whom the jury failed to in
dict, is being connected with an at
tempted looting Of a Bluffton bank;
While he was being held in the local
iail paper was found on the person
Of Kelly, on which were the names
Bluffton, Aldrich, New Pierz, Bowlus
and Rice. When asked by the
authorities he declared it to be list
of "easy marks.' Since the attempt:
ed bank looting at Bluffton the
authorities are beginning to connect
Kelly with. the jobs that are being
pulled off in the various parts OF the
state.
Kelly was recently dismissed form
the jail at Fergus Falls where he was
confined on charge of burglary
Local authorities are inclined to be-
lieve that the "easy mark" list which
Kelly had was program Of contem'
plated robberies and that Kelly is the
head of robberies which are com
mitted by an organized band of yegg
men.
