cf The citizens National Bank at
Keedysville. Md, was held up at the
point Of a gun al his band window at
1880 July %, by Sharpsburg
(Md.l man whom he recognized as
sDink" Grove, who compelled him
to hand over all the cash he could
reach from the window,-estlmated
at 81 .000,-and not to sound the
burglar alarm. The cashier, who was
alone in the bank at the time, did as
commanded. and the robber fled as
soon as ne had pocketed the money.
A general alarm was sent out to
neighboring towns and two hours
later Grove was picked up in Fred
erick. Md. by Sheriff Allbaugh, and
Is being held there. A sum of money
understood TO have been 1884, was
found in a ear. Grove was driving
ii Chevrolet car, and had an I'M

ca he headed first for Shepherds
town. W Va, but later towards
Frederick.
The cashier of the bank, George

leave a store, at Keedysville, as he
was going TO lunch and had seen him
drive towards the bank. Il is as
sumed the robber waited until he
thought the bank was practically de-
serted.
Keedysville was highly excited
over the robbery, the second of its
kind in a few months. There was
talk that afternoon of violence
against Grove. but the authorities
were confident they could keep the
situation in hand. Last spring, Cliff
ford Snively and Howard Lynch are

canning plant there and while the
blaze was drawing the attention Of

from the bank. attempted to rob the
bank. These men, accused of arson
and robbery, were later captured and
nsried, and are now in prison.
