the natural effect of causing some
irregularity in the market for the
better grade of investment bonds. A

trial and business enterprises. The

here that investment bankers are

their equivalent Of new equipment
was added to the facilities OF the
carrier systems. Bankers estinate
that about 80 per cent of the new
February securities represented re-
funding operations for maturing OF
called bonds.
During the present month 4 total
of SIS, OOO, 900 in industrial and rail
road corporation bonds WIN be called

No Trace Is Found of
Four Bunk Car Bandits

All Omaha police have been on the
lookout, but no trace of the four men
who Thursday night held up Union
Pacific track laborers in bunk car
at Bay State siding, II miles west of
here, and robbed them of 1000, has
yet been found.
The bandits left a trail of stolen
automobiles in their wake. In a car
stolen in Omaha they drove as far
as Ames, where they borrowed" the
car of c. X. Hansen. At Fremont,
Mrs. c. E. Evans even got glimpse
of them as they made away with
their automobile. The Evans car was
abandoned when 1t went into a ditch
and smaller car belonging to NJ. C..
Mahan substituted.
In robbing the laborers, the bandits
lined them up on one side of the
bunkhouse and forced them to strip
and toss their clothes to them TO be
searched. Three, slow to comply,
were severely beaten.
