Greenville area report states an attempted bank robbery at Mell First National Bank failed after robbers drilled near the vault and left two fuses on the floor. No injuries reported. Followed by other Texas briefs including forgery indictments in Houston and obituaries in San Antonio.
A 1924 Studebaker Special Six driven by D. A. Jenkins of Salt Lake City set a new overland speed record from Salt Lake City to Los Angeles. The 853 mile run in 23 hours 43 minutes shattered the Los Angeles Limited benchmark by 1 hour 10 minutes, with no water added to the radiator. The feat, witnessed by The Western Union and arranged by T. W. Naylor Company, showcases endurance over treacherous mountain passes and desert roads.
The Los Angeles Limited time of 24 hours 50 minutes surpasses earlier marks, with Studebaker holding California official road records. Valley Route Los Angeles to San Francisco covers 411.1 miles in 6 hours 15 minutes 15 seconds, and Coast Route from San Francisco to Los Angeles 453.7 miles in 21 hours 93 minutes.
