ATTEMPT TO ROB TWO
GLENV1LLE BANKS
Loose Change and Stamps Are
Taken, but No Effort Made
to Open the Safes. '
TWO SALOONS ATTACKED
r.ranH UlaArl Mh Tan ' W fSnr.
c;al Telegram.) Five robberies took
place at Glcnvillc, Clay county, early
this morning, evidently ttfe work of
novices, and little or no booty was
secured,
he FarmersState bank, George
Flcssner, president, and the Bank of
. Glcnvillc, Annoj Uden, president, were
entered, the heavy plate glass doors
being smashed. The safes irt neither
were blown, nor was there any effort
apparently to use dynamite. Nothing
but a few pennies was secured.
The grocery store of Mr. Crone;
- walil was entered, but nothing of ma
terial value was taken. The saloons
of Jake Okenja and John Boennfeldt
were ransacked and a good deal of
damage was done, the rampaging hav
ing some similarity terCarric Nation
raids. i - - . , I .
The only clue to the robbers is
evidance ,of considerable blopd,' pre
sumably, the result of an .injured'
hand, as the hinges were taken off the
door of, one of the saloons.
A telegram has been received at
the sheriff's office asking the local
authorities to be on the lookout for
three yeggmen who early Tuesday
morning robbed the Bank o Glen
ville and the Farmers' State bank at
Glenville. Rewards of 100 each are
offered for the arrest of the robbers.
The telegram did not state how much
the yeggmen got. It is believed that
one of the robbers was seriously cut
about the hands with' glass when the
trio made their getaway.

SCOTIA, NEB., ON THE MAP
We read and hear of many hospi
tals and operatipns that are being
performed in large cities, but the lit
tle town of Scotia, Neb., can certainly
feel proud of the many serious and
complicated operations that are being
successfully performed daily by Dr.
Chas. W. Weekes. Although his hos
pital is crowded to its fullest capacity,
rooms for several patients have been
arranged at the buildirig where he
has his office, and patients are doing
nicely. The record of Qr. Weekes'
successful-work in the last few years
of surgery is a record that the people
of Scotin and community may well be
' proud of. Advertisement
