Attempted Bank
Robbery
Safe of the Bank of
Nemaha Blown Open
Bobbers Scared Away
without getting
anything
A bold attempt was made early Fri
day morning to rob the Bank of Nema
ha. Shortly before 2 o'clock a loud ex
plosion was heard. Numerous persons
were aroused' by the sound , Earle
Gilbert, living across the street from
the baak, was aroused by the explosion,
saw that a bank robbery was being ats
tempted, aqd. .hurr tartly . dressed' eud
went, out to get help.' He" Tan over
and wokeF. L. Woodward and while
there a second explosion was heard.
Gilbert and Woodward ran to the hotel
an gave the alarm! Elmer E. Allen,
the cashier of the bank, Swift Mc
Candless, David Carrol and Dr. Stiers
were soon oat, but the six .nen wisely
concluded that it would be folly for
them to attempt to capture the robbers
as only three had firearms, so they gave
an alarm by firing of their guns and
yelling, and the robbers skipped out.
The eight was very" dark and little
could be seen. When the bank was
opened it was found in a state of con
fusion. The doors to the safe had been
blown open and one was blown off the
hinges, but the door to the money chest
had not been forced, and no money
was secured. Parts of the safo had
gone through the building on the north
and west.cutting boles entirely through
plastering, bexing and weatherboard
lag. One glass in one of the front
windews was shattered, the stove badly
broken and other damage done. The
books had not been injured. Miss
Lillian Minick, the postmistress, kept
the stock of stamps in the bank safe in
a paatboard box. This had been laid
on the fleor at one side of the safe and
none of the stamps taken, In fact, the
robbura got nothing for their trouble.
A crowbar and spike-sledge had been
taken from the B. & M. tool house and
used in forcing the window. No at
tempt had been made te mufti e the
souud of the explosion.
As Boon as possible a message was
sent te Beatrice for the bloodhounds.
They arrived about noon, and shortly
after were taken to the scene of the at
tempted robbery, when they soon toek
the trail, following without any hesita
tion from the bank to the alley and then
south along the alley and through the
pasture south of town to the tool house.
The handcar had been taken from there
and was sslssed early in -the morning
and messages sent out to watch for it,
as patty on a handcar bad been heard
going past Bracken after two o'clock
In the morning. The handcar was
found deaerted near the B. & M. and
M. P. crossing this side of Auburn.
After the bloodhounds traced the men
to the tool house they were put in a
carriage and taken to tho crossing to
take up the scent there.
It was 11 very bold detd. It ia to be
httped the men will bo captured soon.
Lathu. The bloodhounds took up
I the trail at the crossing at d tracked
the robbers to tho Missouri Pacific de
pot, where It Is supposed they boarded
a train. No further trace of tlium
could bo found.
Latkst.-Sheriff Lawrence and W.
G. Maxwell went wost on the Friday
morning passenger train, keeping
watch along the track, and about tmeo
mliep wost of Auburn saw a auspicious
looking darkey whe had been seen in
Auburn that morning. The train was
stopped and the darkey arrested, He
claimed to have come up from HIh
watha about midnight but knew about
the bank robbery aud said he expected
to be arrested when the train stopped.
Nothing further could be Ienrned from
him but he Is belag held on suspicion.
