.nculcate a sense of individual obliga-
tion to the community, state and ma
lion; to combat the autocracy of both
the classes and the Masses; to make

moe peace and good will on earth
to safeguard and transmit to poster

ROCKHAM BANK
ROBBED FRIDAY
Thieves Cut Wires. Holders OF Safety
Deposit Boxes Greatest
Losers

BURGLARS who entered the vaults
Of the Farmers State bank of Rock
ham. Faux county, twenty miles west
Of Redfeld, riied seventy-five safety
deposit boxes and secured a large
quantity OF coupon Liberty bonds, es-
timated by c. E. Smith, president OF
the bank, at not I exceed $4,000. No
attempt was made by the men to blow
the banks safe.
While the exact hour Of the robbery
is unknown. It is believed that it oc-
curred about 2 o'clock this morning.
Before starting their work, the burg
lars cut ninety wires of the Rockhsm
telephone exchange and made their
escspe from the town without the
knowledge Of q single resident.
Broke Into Vault
rhe bank door was jimmied and
when the obstacle of a vault door con-
fronted the men they proceeded to re-
move 1t by knocking off the knobs and
hinges with the aid of a sledge ham
mer and chisel That they worked
quietly at this rather noisy task is
evidenced by the fact that they com
pleted their work without arousing
any OF the residents.
Tho loss was discovered this morn
Ing when officials of the bank came to
open the institution. II was discov-
cred that lseventy-five of the safety
deposit boxes, belonging to customers
OF the bank, had been opened with
hammer and chisel and that the men
had broken two chisels in the opera
ton. 1t is believed they failed to rob
all OF the boxes because of their lack
OF q sufficient number Of chisels.
II was ascertained yesterday, fol-
lowing an investigation into the prop
erty taken from the bank that while
the burglars did not blow the safe,
they secured SIS in cash, combining
their major operations to the safety
deposit boxes in the bank. about one
third Of which they rified of their con-
tents.
That they took away with them 600
coupon bonds, OF the value of 500
each and $25, 200 in registered bonds
ard = quantity OF war savings stamps,
which are not registered.
Seven hundred dollars worth of pos
.Gge stamps which were kept in the
safety deposit department Of the bank
by the Rockham postmaster and a
quantity OF A. p. A. travellers checks,
were also stolen.
II is stated hat the thieves will
not be able to convert any of the Sc
curities or other valuables taken into
caeh and that the loss to the bank will
be small.
No suspicious characters had been
G around the bank in the last few
days, accordinb to Mr.. Smith. who re-
marked over the telephone that quite
a number of strangers have been in
Rockham In the last few weeks. The
loss will fall entirely on the holders
Of the safety deposit boxes, as none
Of .he banks property was taken.
