Bandits Stick Up
Cushing State Bank
Cashier Home at Time--Eight Hun
dred Dollars Secured. Work
Fast and Escape.

Little Falls, Oct. 22-The Cushing
State Bank was held up and robbed
of $500 at 2:30 this afternoon by
two unidentified bandits.
I. J. Ramlo, cashier, was alone
in the bank when a tall, slender
man wearing a mask entered,
brandishing a gun and ordered
Ramlo to lie down on the floor. AS
Ramlo complied another man who
had been standing outside entered
the bank and scooped up all the
cash on the counter and then rified
the money box in the vault.
Ramlo then was forced to go
into the vault and the door slamm-
ed on him. Using screw driver
which he kept inside the vault, he
loosened the lock and extricated
himself
A large blue sedan on the streets
of the village at about that time is
thought to be the car in which the
bandits escaped. At 8 p. m. no
one had been found who had seen
the car leave town.
The holdup was executed so
swiftly and quietly that no sus-
picion was aroused.

Fatally Injured, Near Mel
rose Wednesday
WRONG SIDE OF ROAD
Young Woman, Accompanied
by Sister, in Sank Centre
Earlier j n Day

Wednesday afternoon two young
women attired in light blue over
alls attracted the attention of the
Sank Centre business men as they
walked up and down the main
street of the city.
Last evening shortly after eight
o'clock, the elder of the girls, Edith
klugmann, was killed on the pave
nlent of Highway No. three miles
east of Melrose.
Deputy Coroner A. F. Moynihan,
of this city was summoned. His
investigation disclosed essentially
the following:
The girls were going east walking
on the wrong side of the pavement.
An auto belonging to Mr.. Spies, an
employee on Great Northern
work train working out of Melrose
was travelling toward st. Cloud.
In the car with Mr.. Stiss were his
wife and two boys, and Lewis Pei
by and daughter, Louise. Mr.. Pei
by is conductor on the work train.
All reside in st. Cloud. Mrs. Spies
had driven the car from st. Cloud
to Melrose to take her husband and
Mr.. Pelby back to the Granite City.
The young woman killed was Is
years old; she had brown hair, was
about foot inches tall, weighing
about 140 pounds. When struck by
the door of the car she was injured
about the scalp and the base of the
skull was fractured causing death
before the unfortunate young lady
reached the Melrose hospital.
Mr.. Spiess stopped his car as
quickly as possible and hurried the
injured girl and her companion to
Melrose
Ruin lAiugmanM, aged 16, a sister
of the dead young woman, was the
companion. She 10 quite bit small
er than Edith. Ruth told DR.. Moy-
nihan that they were walking arm
in arm on the pavement, admitting
they Fwere on the wrong sire, for
the purpose of picking up ride
She said they were enroute to Min
neapolis where Ruth expected to
enter business college and she hop
to, secure employment.
Aside from the overall wearing
apparel the dead young woman
had but little clothing and her only
other assets were some cigarettes.
The young women are the daugh-
tiers of Albert Klugmann, farmer,
residing near GAINESVILLE. He was
informed of the tragedy over the
telephone Wednesday evening.
Hitch-hiking is a precarious bus
mess for young women or girls un-
der the most favorable conditions.
In his findings Deputy Coroner
did not attempt to fix the blame for
the accident.

S. p Hansen Loses
''ThYee" MalIards?
New Ford Car Also Stolen From
Near Side Entrance of O'Gara
Garage Sunday Evening.

On Sunday evening someone,
who is not well versed in the
hunting ability of POT Shot"
S. p. Hansen, Jr., stole three
mallards from him. Incident
ally they also took his new
Ford car, which was parked
near the side entrance of the
O'Gara garage.
S. p. was not SO much wOr-
ried about the loss of his auto
mobile, but visions of a tooth
some mOrsel went dwindling
with the loss of the mallards.
His hunting pals were offering
condolences for they knew that
he had exerted his prOwess as
a hunter to get the ducks.
On Tuesday afternoon S. p.
was notified that his car had
been found near the Graham
farm, about four miles west of
Melrose. The gas tank was
empty and hence the car had
been driven until it could go no
farther. 1t had been pushed in
to the woods a short distance
from the road. After investi-
CATION it was found that the
ducks were still in the Ford.
During the time the car was
missing S. P.'s ver,scity had not
been questioned, he said there
were three mallards in his car
and his friends said three mall
lards there were. But some
HOudini must have gotten busy
for when the car was returned
there were just two mallards
and one small teal in it. From
now on S. P.'s friends say he
will have to have thesevtdence
of a successful hunt NTH him
before he will be alIqwd to
tell any shooting stezie
Aside from the ab6 ininor
Irregularities his many 4riends
are pleased to learn that he got
his car back unchanged.

Fatal Accident Near Albany

A fatal automobile accident on
Highway No. near Albany about
loo a. M, Wednesday brought sud-
den sorrow to a group of happy
young people returning to their
homes at st. Francis from a dance
at Melrose.
The auto was driven by Wendell
Herren, II. In the front seat with
him was Miss Dina Gerads, only
daughter of Mrs. Martin Gerads, a
widow, of st. Francis.
It is presumed that young Her
rem was driving at reasonably
high rate of speed. It is under
stood they had just passed the un-
derground 500 line crossing west of
Albany when they were accosted
by binding lights.
Two Raymond Brothers trucks
were standing on the pavement,
one travelling in each direction for
the purpose, it is understood, of
changing drivers.
The young people in the car said
the lights of the truck headed
west blinded them and they could
not see the truck headed east until
they hit it without warning. The
trucks were driven by Frank Car
rier and Jack Theiring.
/ The auto was completely den1ol-
ished, by the impact. Miss Gerad
suffered a fractured skull aad her
LETT ear was completely severed.
The injuries received by Miss Ger
ads indicate that death was almost
instantaneous. Young Herren was
quite badly injured. A report is
prevalent on the streets of Sank
Centre this Thursday morning that
he died late last evening. The 9TH
err occupants, in the rear seat, were
Miss Lucy Breth and Peter LANCE,
also of st. Francis.
Commissioner c. M. Babcock has
large signs along the paved high
ways notifying the public not to
park on highways. Two of the
large Raymond Brothers trucks
would completely fill the pavement,
and the Herald is surprised that a
concern so carefully handling the
freight business would permit
their drivers to park in this man.

The Herald predicts there is
trouble ahead for somebody in con-
nection with this accident.

WEST UNION BANK
CASHIER DECAMPS
Warrants Are Out Charging
Cashier, j. H. We're, With
ErnbeZZlement
AMOUNT IS NOT KNOWN
Institution Carried $4,000
Fidelity Insurance to
Reopen Soon

The West Union State Bank is in
the hands of the State Banking
Department.
J. H. We're, the 25-year-old cash
Ter, has departed for parts I'M
known.
The first intimation that the pat
rons of the bank had of anything
wrong was when the institution
failed to open for business last Fri
day morning at 900 o'clock.
We're was the only person who
knew the combination to the safe
and carried the only set of keys to
the vault.
The young man had been seen
about his usual haunts of the will
age the evening proceeding and
when the bank did not open it was
first thought that he was ill.
Investigation proved that he was
not at home.
Still further investigation dis
closed the fact that he had left the
village in an automobile about 100
o'clock Friday morning. ...
1t was impossible for the bank
officials to get into the vault or
safe. A hole was drilled into the
vault and an expert sent by the
safe company eventually opened
the safe. This was accomplished
late Saturday afternoon.
A casual investigation soon dis
closed Irregularities. President j.
Miller, and others, have signed
complaints charging We're with
embezzlement
1t is reported that one of the
women of the village left town the
same evening as We're and her
whereabouts are said to be I'M
known.
a It is understood that Thursday
afternoon Werer visited one of the
Sank Centre stores and purchased
$26.00 worth of ladies' silk hosiery.
The Herald editor visited West
Union Wednesday afternoon and
found that prior to last Friday the
young man was held in the high
est esteem by the people of the vii
lage and other patrons of the bank.
He grew up in the village and
entered the employ of the bank
about 10 years ago. He was made
cashier three years ago, since
which time the bank has been en-
tirely under his jurisdiction.
Reports have been published
that the defalcations would reach
$4,000. These statements are en-
tirely erroneous. The amount will
not be known until all the ac-
counts and other items of the bank
have been checked. +a...:-..,
The bank carried a surety bond
on Mr.. We're in the amount of
$4,000. It is not expected that the
defalcations will reach this amount.
At the last supervision of the
bank everything was found to be
in good condition, it is understood.
The stockholders of the institu-
ton are viewing the matter very
philosophically, certain that the
bond will cover all shortage, and
that the institution will be open
for business again in few weeks.
The bank is in charge of Exam
liner o. M. Brandvold, assisted by
c. E. Melby. Both gentlemen are
from the Minnesota Banking De-
partment.
The officers of the bank are:
PRESIDENT. Miller.
Vice President-H. S. Halverson.
Vice President-H. ]. Bentfield.
Gust Anderson and David Beck
~
mentioned make up the board OF
directors.
The following statement shows
the condition of the bank when the
last call was made by the State
