SEEK ROBBER
From Saturday's Daily
Chief of Police Wallace Reed of
Shenandoah, Iowa, was in the city
last night and this' morning on the
trail of the man who early last night
held up and robbed M. E. Hankins
of Shenandoah, of $2,400.
The robbery occurred at 7 o'clock
Friday night, a stranger coming to
the door of the Hankins home and
when the daughter came to the door.
asked for Mr. Hankins. When Mr.
Hankins came to the door the man
stood in the doorway with a drawn
revolver and demanded that he turn
over his money. Mr. Hankins had
part of the money in his pocket
and the $2,000 was sewed into his
underwear, the robber compelling
him to produce the money. The rob
ber made his escape by auto from
the scene.
The robber is reported to have a
Nebraska license on the car and is
thought to be a stranger that has
been in this city at different times
n the last few weeks. The Iowa of
ficer and two of the sons of Mr.
Hankins motored here last night and
with Officers Libershal and Pickrel
attempted to get some trace of the
man wanted but without success.
The fact that the robber seemed
to be well acquainted with the sur
roundings of the Hankins home, as
well as the location of the money on
the person of Hankins, leads to the
belief that the robbery was well
planned by someone familiar with
the family.
