ROBBED SUNDAY NIGHT

At about midnight Sunday night
burglars entered the State Bank Of
Austin. and relieved the institution Of
about $50 in cash. rifled the safety
deposit boxes and appropriated sew
eral hundred dollars worth OF liber-
ty bonds, as near as can be learned.
The burglar or burglars did not ef.
feet an entrance to the safe. hence
the loss was comparatively slight
On Sunday afternoon four convicts
escaped from the camp near Mont
rose. and this fact led many to be-
lieve that they we're connected with
the robbery. However. this theory
is secuted by many, since the dis
tance is apparently too great to have
been covered In 30 short a time.
Tools were secured for the deed
at the ]. W. stormen blacksmith
shop. and this gentlemen was the
first to discover that the bank had
been entered.
Detectives have bcen hunting ever
since the robbery and the escape
were discovered, but no finds" made
up to this time. The bank is n mem-
