WAVERLY , Neb. , June 4. Some
time during Friday night thieves en
tered the Bank of Wavorly , ot which
T. .1. Beale Is cashier , and blew the
safe to fragments , damaging the build
ing to some extent. The concussion
broke the windows. It has the appear
ance of being the work of experts.
The money was not reached , as the
Inner door was Intact , and the explo
sion left the outer door In such n po
sition that there was no chance to
use more explosives and It could not
be pried off with a crowbar , so It was
given up as n bad Job. They would
have secured little money In any case ,
as only a small sum is kept on hand.
The bank was open for business as
usual at 9 a. m. Several heard the
report of the explosion , but the storm
was so severe no attention was given
