HUNT WYATT
GANG AT TER
new ROBBERY
YGggS Fail in Attempt at Ship
SheWana--T Two Cases
are Connected.
Special to The News Times

Special 10 The News Times
ELKHART. Ind. Aug 27.-Men
who. it is believed, are connected
with the attempted robbery of the
Farmers bank at Wyatt. Ind. on
Aug %, forced the front door Of
the Farmers State bank at ship
shewana, Ind. near here, early this
morning. but failed in an attempt
to blow off the door of the cash box
in the vault. whose combination
lock they had worked without
trouble.
The men, falling TO get at the
cash. ransacked the furnishings.
which were badly wrecked by the
explosion The bank officials said
that nothing of value had been tax
en-, although damage amounting to
about $500 was caused by the ex-
plosion.
The burglars escaped.
Show Similaritics.
Although the handcar on which
the Wyatt bank robbers made their
escape was located at Lakeville.
which is in the opposite direction
from Wyatt with regard 10 Shipshe-
wana, detectives working on the
case are inclined 10 think that the
two attempts were committed by the
same gang. The use of railway tools.
and the use of explosive in attempt
ing TO gain entrance to the casn box
are pointed 10 as similarities of
method which lead TO this conclu-
sion. Shipshewana is about 45 miles
from Wyatt
The Wyatt bank robbery was at
tempted on the night Of Aug. 21, or
early the following morning. Like
this bank, the institution at Ship
shewana is a small one, at some dis
tance from any large city where
adequate police protection is fur
nished. and while II carries a con-
siderable amount OF cash and Sc
curities, is not equipped with all the
safety devices which larger banks
utilize.
Efforts 20 trace the robbers who
worked at Wyatt have so far been
unsuccessful. Detectives today az
serted, however. that new clews
which might be found at Shipshe-
wana would no doubt aid IN the cap
ture OF this gang. which is likely to
turn out TO be the same as that
which worked at Wyatt.

RED OGRE FOUND lt
 NEAR THE ARCTIC BY PROSPECTORS
Large Deposit Valuable For Mak- ing Paint Found Near the Head of Norton
 Sound

NOME, Alaska, Aug 22. - (Ry maiD D-Near the head of Norton Sound, where it has been known only to Eskimos, it is believed, two prospectors who have just returned to Nome recently discovered an enormous deposit of the clay-like substance known as red ochre and valuable for its paint-making qual. ities.
 For generations, some of the na- tives told the prospectors, the ochre has been used by the people of their tribes for coloring purposes, and from points as far away as the Dio- medes natives come to get supplies of the valued soft rock. The rock or clay-like material in dark red in color and may easily be grounJ or shaved with a knife. Expert ments proved it could be quickly made into paint.
 These prospectors also discovered what is believed to be a big vein of hemitite in subterranean cham Der of low cliff seven miles from Norton Bay mission, which appar- ently had been a mine of perhaps prehistoric origin. Inquiries of aged natives failed to elicit information of any one ever having been seen in the district engaged in mining or prospecting and developed the fact that the opening of the cliff was only recently revealed by big slide. Debris partially covering the entrance to the cliff chamber was cleared away by the prospectors and a tunnel about fifty feet long was discovered. This tunnel apparent ly had been driven into what is believed to be a ledge of iron ore ten feet in its thickest portion. Near it's mouth the subterranean chamber had been timbered
