DELHI BANK
BANDITS ESCAPE
With $500
Confused Description of Bandit
Car Lead Sheriffs Astray
Watching for Them
INSURANCE COVERS LOSS
Failed to Lock Vault Door and
Cashier Butcher Gave
Chase in Car

Brusquely commanding the cashier
and bookkeeper to lie down on the
floor two bandits held up the State
Bank of Delhi Thursday afternoon
and made a getaway with $1,000
which was covered by insurance.
Development of the meagre clues
with which Sheriff Kise has to work
on have not materialized as yet, be-
cause of the various descriptions Civ
en- of the color and make of car sup
posedly driven by the bandits.
Sheriffs and police officers were
notified fifteen minutes after the rob
berry, as was the state bureau of
criminal apprehension and the bank
ers protective association.
Cashier Harold Butcher is certain
of identification of the bandits should
he be brought face to face with them,
as he ignored the first command to
lie face down and got good view OF
the bandits features. They were
dressed in overalls and wore dark
coats and SLOUGH caps. They were
smooth shaven, dark complexioned
and had no masks.
The holdup was staged along
standard lines, the short fellow point
ed a double barrel shotgun through
the window and covered Cashier But
cher and Bookkeeper Ardmer Peder-
son while the second scaled the tell
er's cage.
After taking the money from the
cash drawer the one entered the
vault. An electric posting machine
started to buzz, and thinking it an
alarm he came out and placed his gun
against Butchers cheek to ask him
if he had touched off the alarm to
which Butcher replied mo"
The men were herded into the vault
by the bandits who failed to lock
the door. The bandits left by way Of
the rear door and entered waiting
car with a driver at the wheel, ac-
cording to pedestrian passing by at
this moment.
Cashier Butcher ran to the window
and observed the car going west out
of town, where it turned south on the
county road, and then headed east.
He jumped into his own car and gave
chase but in the dust of the speeding
bandit car he lost out.
From the reports given the sheriff's
office it might have been either a
Plymouth, Erskine, Pontiac, or Oak
land car with blue body, and yellow
or green or red or orange or blue
wire wheels.
