over the money. The cashier was
not bound, as first reported, bu+ the
men tore up strips and prepared to
Nind him when a farmer from that
vicinity who wished to let into the

forced the cashier to show them the
way out through the rear door and
escaped. In the vault Of the bank
there was a sum of about $4,000 and
they would have secured this had not
the farmer appeared.

Kicked off his overalls and left his
gun there. Then he went to the pool
hall, played couple of games of pool
and joined some companions walking
out to the Truax mine. Here he was
ares led next morning. being suspect
ed from the start. He has admitted
his guilt.
After Donahue left Lentzen, he
