With $7256.

Perry, Kan, April 21.-Officers last
night were working on the theory that
a woman may have been a member of
the bandit gang which early Friday

and escaped with SI2j6.
Two foot prints were found at the
window where the bank was entered.
one was apparently made by a wom-
ans high-heeled shoe.
No one saw the bandits at work and
it has not been learned which drec-
ton they took when they left.
The robbers entered the vault by
blasting a hole in. the brick wall.
The safe and interior of the vault
were ruined by the explosion.
The loss to the bank is covered by
the burglary insurance.
