Two Banks; Get $4,000

DANVILLE, Ill, Aug. 29.-Six robbers
blew the safes of two banks at Homer
ILL.,, near here, early today and escaped
in an automobile with $4,000. A genera,

plosions at the two banks were stimuli
taneous and were so muffled that only
a few people were awakened. Eighty
five hundred dollars was taken from
the Raynor and Rabb bank, and s4,5OC
from the Citizens bank. There was some
delay in spreading the alarm as the gang
cut all wires except one. The banks
could not open this morning until money
had been shipped from Danville.

Walter Wade Shot
In Head and Body
Pitched in River

AMERICUS. Ga, Aug. ga body
identified by relatives as Walter H.
Wade, Leslie business man missing since
August II, was found lodged in the mid
die of Flint river, three miles south of
the bridge between Oglethorpe and
Montezuma, Monday.
A belt buckle bearing the initial w.;
the trousers, and a tooth filling were the
means by which the body, badly decom-
posed, was identified by Marion Sims.
Wade's father-in-law, and BOY Wade,
brother.
A negro fisherman found the body and
notified the authorities of Montezuma,
where it was taken. A coroner's jury
was empaneled and after an investiga-
ton returned a verdict to the effect that
death was the result of the deceased
having been shot by unidentified par
ties, prior to the body being thrown into
the river.
No arrests have yet been made in the
Walter Wade case and trouble is feared
should suspicion become known, as the
body found in the river disclosed two
bullet holes. The funeral and interment

PARCELS SHOULD Be
PROPERLY ADDRESSED
Burden Is Imposed of Postal service
Because OF Omission of Street
Numbers on Mail.

Postmaster Hay T. Thornton is in
4eceipt OF a letter from the depart
ment at Washington, requesting his
cooperation in relieving the postal
service OF the burden imposed by the
growing evil OF incompletely and i'm

frequently received at the Richmond
postoffice with the street numbers
omitted. This makes a speedy de-
livery impossible and oftentimes the

fact that the parties to whom the

The letter to Postmaster Thornton
follows:
