Owner Of Mysterious
Automobile is Found
Milwaukee Man Is Found To
Have Been Owner; To Make
Further Investigation

Although no definite information
has been found regarding the myster-
ious auto that was driven into the
Redwood river and burned some time
ago, authorities have been trying to
link the car with the charred body
found in the burned straw stack last
week. Four Wabasso youths were
questioned in connection with the
matter. Contrary to the reports that
the youths were arrested and held
under heavy bond and other reports
that they had confessed to different
things, they were merely questioned
and are not being held.
The car, which is 1925 Buick
roadster, was found to have been
owned by a Milwaukee man. 1t was
driven out from Milwaukee and lodg-
ed in the river two weeks ago. The
driver is alleged to have stated that
he had passenger at the time. The
driver is being sought in connection
with the mystery.

Trio Thought to Have Made
Getaway Through Redwood
County After Robbery

A trio of bandits robbed the State
Bank at Winthrop, forty miles east OF
Redwood Falls on Highway IA, yes
terday morning (Tuesday) and made
their getaway. The robbers are sup
posed to have started west from VIM
throp and according to various re-
ports, came through Redwood county.
According to a telephone conversa-
ton this morning with Winthrop the
trio made haul of $10,483.56.
Posses were formed in Winthrop
shortly after the robbery occurred
and set out in pursuit of the bandits.
All trace was lost of the car in which
the gang made their escape. 1t is
thought that the Winthrop gang is
the same that robbed the bank at
Bixby, in Steele county the afternoon
before.
In the bank were George A. Car
mes, cashier; F. E. Muchow and
Clarence Goetsch, assistant cashiers;
Grace Lidberg, 21-year-old bookkeep-
er, and August Eckberg, Winthrop,
a customer.
"They came into the bank as If
they were running a race" Mr.. Car
mes said. They ordered us to hurry
up and get our hands up and believe
me, we did. We were marched to a
side wall by one of the bandits, who
fourished a revolver. The other one
got to work Immediately and started
scooping up all the money"
One of the two bandits was about
5 feet, Z inches in height, and he
stood guard over the victims. The
other, a shorter and heavier man,
gathered up the money in the receiv-
ing teller's cage and placed it in a
portfolio, then went into the vault
and searched drawers and safes
which were open, taking all the cur
rency, silver and Liberty bonds.
The victims were then pushed into
the vault and the door locked. The
bandits ran down an alley. There
was difference of opinion as to
whether third man was in the car.
The bandits headed westward on
Highway No. IA. Although not au-
thentic, car answering the descrip-
ton of that car thought to have been
used by the bandits, was reported
seen carrying three people, speeding
westward on Highway No. IA.
