The bank at Moab. Utah, was robbed
last Friday morning at about 8 o'clock
by three bandits who blew the safe and
made away with s7,5OO.OO in cash.
Brumley Green. returning from an
evening out, appeared on the scene
as the robbers were at work but they
bound him hand and foot and continued
with the job.
After the robbers left Mr.. Green
succeeded in getting loose and spread
the news that the bank had been rob-
bed. The sheriff got busy at once and
sent out wires to the officers in the sur.
rounding towns to be on the lookout
for the burglars. Later a posse was
organized and the bandits tracked by the
wrappers that they tore off the currency
and threw in the road. Sunday even
ing they were located in a bunch of
brush near Thompson Springs. The
posse surrounded the thicket and began
shooting into it when the men quickly
threw up their hands and surrendered.
The stolen money was recovered. The
automobile the robbers were travelling
in broke down, and they were making
their getaway on foot when captured.
