HOLLOW ROCK BANK
ROBBED BY YEGGMEN

HUNTINGDON, Tenn, Jan. 20. (Spll
The Bank of Hollow Rock was robbed
Sunday night, the loss being variously
estimated at from 900 to $50, 600
The vault was blown open, but the rob-
bers could not make an entrance into
the safe, and they secured only bonds,
war savings stamps and postage stamps.
One of the heaviest losers was W. A.
Green, merchant of Hollow Rock, who
is said to have lost $1,000. The postof-
flee lost $1S4.30 in stamps. Postmaster
T O. Lowry had just few days be.
fore received his quarterly supply Of
stamps from the central accounting Of
flee at Huntington and had placed
most of them in the bank
There is no clue to the robbery except
that there were three strangers seen in
town last night, white men. Papers,
deeds and one or two bonds were found
this morning scattered along on the way
from the bank to the depot, and it is
thought that the robbers escaped on a
local freight.

The fourth meeting at the Hip podrome tournament in New York last winter went to the Nebraskan, and with it the crown.
 Perfection of the head lock has been effected by Lewis and today he is re- garded as the greatest specialist in the game, bar none.

 Daviscourt himself can attest to Lewis ability with this hold. for 1t was a headlOck. or rather a series of headlocks. that brought Daviscourt's defeat after two hours of fast work when they wrestled on the coast a few months ago.
