MONDAY THIEF
ROBS MADDOX
I'll. G. Maddox in Isermann
Building Reports Theft
on Monday.
CASH AND CHECKS
Thief Finds Door and Safe Tn
locked and Easy Pickings"
on Visit.

Checks to the amount of $4,000
$1,000 in Liberty bonds and $3.50 in
cash were stolen some time Monday
noon from the Office of H. G. Maddox
in the Isermann building, according to
a report made by Mr.. Maddox to the
police. The discovery of the theft was
not made until Maddox returned to
the office about three o'clock Monday
afternoon when he found that the
place had been entered and the money
gone.
Door Left Unlocked.
Due either to mistake or to the
fact that the office building during the
daytime has always seemed sufficient
ly protected, the door to the office was
not locked at noon.
In leaving shortly after twelve
o'clock Monday noon, an employe OF
Mr.. Maddox failed to slip the bolt
in place, he said.
It was only when he returned to the
office later in the afternoon that he
discovered that during the noon hour
someone had entered the Office and
made away with everything removable
that was of value.
Everything had been left so easy of
access that doubtless it awakened the
scorn of the thief entering the place,
who might have liked the job, made
more difficult in order to be interest
ing. The key might as we'll have been
left under the door mat with a note
on the door as to where it lay.
The safe, as we'll as the door, Mad
dock told the police, had been left un-
locked. When he returned and took
stock of the monies still left him, he
found that $4,000 in checks, made out
to H. G. Maddox and signed by w. P.
Sing, had been stolen. In addition
$3.50 in cash was gone. Maddox made
no further report to the police until
this morning.
This morning small money box
was found in the rear of the Isermann
building. 1t had been pried open and
abandoned. 1t was identified by Mad
dock as a small box which he had had
in the office in which he had kept Lib
erty bonds amounting in value to
$500. These of course were likewise
gone.
Payment on, the $4,000 worth of
checks was stopped by the police Mon
day afternoon, as soon as the report
of the theft was received. No clue
was found today to lead to the iden-
tity of the thief or clear up the mys-
terry of the MONDAY robbery.

RAY WHITES CAR
STOLEN LAST WEEK
BUICK BELONGING TO LOCAL
STATION AGENT MYSTERIOUS
LY DISAPPEARS FROM GAR
AGE.

Between Thursday evening" and
Saturday afternoon of last week, the
1921 5 passenger Buick belonging to
Ray White, local depot agent, was
stolen from the garage at his home.
According to reports, Mr.. White
had not seen the car since Thursday
night and after the snow storm of
Friday, figured that he might as well
take the battery out of the car as
he would not be using the machine
any more this winter. Upon going to
the garage he found the car had been
stolen from the garage.
Mr. White notified the Sheriff's Of
flee of the loss of the car and they
Immediately got on the trail cf the
thief and it is said they have a clue
to his identity and if he is captured
the officers believe it will bring out
some sensational developments.
Mr.. White purchased the auto from
the Donaldson Garage two years ago
and the machine was in good condi-
ton. Mr.. White, according to reports,
is very fortunate in having $1100 in
surance on his car against theft,
which insurance will no doubt cover
the loss to Mr.. White.

Some Think It VIII Open Again AS Soon Available
Cash Can Be Secured.

The State Bank of Plentywood
ceased to operate as a bank Monday
afternoon. 1t took deposits up until
Monday noon, when it was unable to
pay out any more money, even turn
ing down checks in the sum of S1.00.
The institution then refused to take
in deposits. and continued to refuse
payment upon paper drawn upon it.
The doors of the bank, however,
were not closed, nor were any rep
resentatives Of the State banking de-
partment in town, nor has any rep
resentative been in town since. as far
as can be learned. The excuse given
out by employees of the bank for the
nonpayment of orders, was that the
bank had run out of currency, but
that payment would be resumed
Tuesday morning, when the tram
came in with shipment Of currency,
which Cashier y. l.. Nelson was III

bank did not resume payment 0r the

doors remained open and no officers.
of the State Banking Department ar

show up-depositors became panic
stricken. and Thursday morning all
were convinced that something seri-
Gus had happened, although employees
in charge of the bank would not ad-
nit that the bank had closed, but
claimed that it was only in sort of
suspended animation waiting for
money when it would resume opera

the bank opened as usual with all
hands at service but Cashier Nelson
