CREAM CAN GANG |
SLIPS FROM TRAP
BURGLAR KIT FOUND
AT CLEMENTS LEADS
TO 'PLANT"

How the "cream can bandits
gave state bureau of criminal APP
prehension agents and G-men the
slip near Clements last Tuesday
night was revealed this week af-
ter a vain attempt to keep the
getaway story secret.
Last Friday night the liquor
store at Clements was burglariz-
ed, undoubtedly by the bandits,
and the same night a Wanda
blacksmith was awakened by
noises at the bulk oil plant near
his residence. Using fiashlight
he saw a group of men pumping
water into five gallon cans. They
sped away throwing the csss,
stolen from the Wanda plant, in
to their car.
Sheriff L. J. Kise believes they
had planned a robbery of the
Wanda bank Cans filled with
water are used for cooling equip
ment used in safe break-ins.
Saturday morning, Peter Miller
discovered an acetelyne tank,
torches, roofing lacks, drills
complete equipment for opening
afbank under straw stack at his
fathers farm southeast of Glenn
ents.
He informed Clayton Johnson,
Clements policeman, who called
Sheriff Kise. Kise went there
nights to watch for the bandits
himself, placed "plant" there
when he was unable to be in the
vicinity.
Tuesday night three bureau
agents and a member of the FBI
took over the watch.
The bandits came and went.
Agents saw one man in the car,
four running from the straw pile
as they flashed their lights in
that direction.
The car, an old model, sped out
of sight.
