FAILED TO ROB A BANK
Operations of Yeggmen Cause Great
Excitement at Robeline.
Newspaper Union News Service.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Robeline, Lathe operations of
yeggmen here have created consider
able excitement. In one case the men
secured a small amount of booty but
in the other they were unsuccessful in
getting into the vault they attacked
and because of that failure $1,000 was
saved.
The first of the burglaries occurred
about las o'clock wednesday morn
ing. The yeggmen entered the post
office, easily dynamiting the safe and
got away with all the available
stamps and about forty dollars in
cash.
After their success at the postoffice
the robbers forced one of the bank
windows of the Bank of Robeline
and made an effort TO dynamite the
safe of that institution. But in this
they failed. The explosive used prac.
tically wrecked the office furniture
and badly damaged the vault, but only
the front door of the safe was blown
off. The morny box was intact when
found. 1t contained about five thous-
and dollars.
Immediately after the last explosion,
three men were seen to emerge from
the rear of the bank, coming out of
the same window they had entered.
They went some little distance and
then disappeared. This circumstance
led to the arrest on suspicion of three
men who have been operating a picture
show not far from the bank. Three
other parties were also taken on sus.
picion later in the day.

and that Americans want TO be pro-
tected against any sudden raid. Mr.
Garner said much stock has disap-
peared recently, and residents believe
MeXicans responsible.
These orders will result in the as
sembly in Texas of nearly $4,000
troops, more by 5000 than the entire
force of the regular army that General
Shafter led into Cuba. Nearly II 900
