BANK CASHIER is KILLED AND
ALL MONEY TAKEN FROM VAUL T
VERONA, n. d.. March

VERONA, N. D., March 1
Bank robbers, it is believed
killed the cashier of the Farm
cr. and Merchants State Bank
here last night and fled with
virtually all the money in it's
vault.
Beaten to death with some
heavy instrument, the body of
HI. c. BjOnc, the cashier, was
found shortly before noon today
locked in the vault, with every
Indication that he had resisted
the attack.
County authorities believe
BjOne was attacked in the bank
last evening, while working late,
and was killed when he refused
to comply with a demand for
surrender of the banks funds.
After killing him, the assalI-
ants apparently secured them
selves against interruption from
rhe frcnt of the building by
mailing the front door shut. In
their flight they left the back
door open.
When Bjone, who was unmarried
failed to return in the night to the
hotel where he lived, the hotel man
ager remarked on his absence, an6
investigation led to the bank, where
the vault combination was so badly
janmed it would not work.
Believing the cashier had beer
locked inside and might still be
alive, citizens started tearing away
the brick wall at the back of the
vault but before they had due

off and the door opened.
