Ober0n Bank is Victim of Men
Believed to be Experts-Posse
Goes in Pursuit as Robbers
Drive Swiftly to East-Bank
Vaults Entered at 2:3O
O'clock This Morning
STEAL CASH AND BONDS

Minnewauken, July 20-Five
men early this morning robbed
the Bank of Oberon, Benson
county, near here, of $13,70 in
cash and Liberty bonds.i The
vault and safe Of the bank were
wrecked.
The robbers escaped in large
automobile, heading east. All
wires into the town were cut,
preventing a report of the rob-
berry before noon.
The force of the explosion not
only wrecked the safe and vault but
blew the windows out of the bank and
wrecked the furniture The inside of
the bank is a mass of wreckage.
The bold robbery occurred about
2:3O O'Clock this morning. The rob-
bers approached the town in big tour
ing car, which they left on the out
skirts.
They inserted four charges of nitro
glycerine in the vaults, after drilling
holes. The whole town was awakened
by the terrific force of the explosions.
The robbers quickly gathered in all the
cash there was-only $500 cash was
on hand-and $4,000 in Liberty bonds
owned by the bank and many deposi.
tors.
People Awakened
People awakened by the explosion
began to appear on the streets and
one man shot at the bandits. The
bandits ran to their touring car out
side of town and started eastward.
toward Grand Forks at a terrific pace.
A posse was quickly formed and
went in pursuit. The sheriff at Mime
wauken was called and he notified p0-
lice for miles around. and started in
pursuit with his deputies and an
hastily organized posse. The men
were armed with rifles. Z"
Did Not Shoot
The robbers did not fire shot at
any of the citizens who appeared on
the streets. although all of them were
armed It was a clear night and one
or two citizens say they got good
look at one or two bandits.
While it is believed the men were
experts, yet they did their work either
/ carelessly or with deliberate bra
vado. They use great quantity of
explosives, so heavy that feeble at
tempts to smother them failed.
