Yeggmen Tackle
Two More Jobs

Sioux Falls, Aug. 23.-Yeggmen
who have been operating extensively
through portions of South Dakota,
Iowa and Minnesota with banks and
postoffices, are believed to have been
responsible for the robbing of the
postoffice at Elkton and an unsuc-
cessful attempt to rob the Dakota
State bank at Baltic. No actual
clues have been obtained by the Off
cials in either case.
Use of a high powered automobile
has aided the work of the cracksmen
who are said to be members OF ex.
pert gangs that are robbing small
banks and postoffices around ths
country by methods that show SIM
