YEGGMEN TUNNEL INTO
 SAFE STEAL THOUSANDS
Robbers Spend Several Days Digging Underground Channel to Get
 Banks Funds.

Dustin, Ok, March 3.--What is be- lieved to be one of the most unusual bank robberies committed in the state of Oklahoma took place here last night when yeggmen, after digging a tunnel 20 feet long into the basement of the bank dynamited the vault and obtained several thousand dollars in Liberty bonds. Authorities here, fol- lowing an investigation of the rob bery, say that digging of the tun- mel required at least several days time and regard the feat as one of the most unusual in the history of bank plundering in Oklahoma.
 The robbery was discovered his morning when officials of the bank opened the vault and found the bot tom blown out. The charge of dyna- mite failed to open the compartment which contained the currency and bank notes. Every possible effort IS being made by the sheriff here to ob- tain clue but it is said that the per petrators made clean getaway and he possibility of running them down is regarded as remote.
