Bank Robbers Nabbed After Poor Bank Break-In at La Salle
Two men are jailed after attempting to blow open the State Bank of La Salle on the Minneapolis and St Louis line. Citizens like Mrs Sanderson and her husband helped thwart the robbery. The offenders fled toward Lake Crystal, stole a buggy, and were caught three miles west of the village by Sheriff Forsyth and local officers. They faced arrest with no resistance, claiming travel on the railroad track from St James to Lake Crystal. Authorities identified one man as among those seen in La Salle the prior week. The crime used stolen tools from a local blacksmith and an improvised blast failed to breach the safe.
