More Cheek Than Ability Controversy at Cylinder Bank Robbery Claims
In Emmetsburg, editorials rebut claims by Detective Patek of Des Moines Daily News about aiding the Cylinder bank robbery arrests.

It accuses Patek of self-promotion over actual aid and warns bankers’ association may be paying for publicity rather than results.
