Fever Bank Robberies in Year of 1936 in Iowa
In 1946 four bank robberies occurred in Iowa, with a total loot of $5,918, far less than 1931 or 1935. Farmers lose more to theft than banks, says Chief Glen Schmidt, due to vigilant banking reforms and stricter enforcement. Notable robberies include Morningside State Bank Sioux City April 20 for $2,292 and Merrill June 2 for $7. Also Elliott branch of Red Oak, August 18, $1,000. A Nebraska trial linked Albert and Orie England to Elliott robbery. George King, 18, linked to Merrill case, implicated two others. The era’s main risk now is out-of-state buyers writing bad checks on livestock and grain, plus local chicken-thief rings. A poultry buyers rule aims to curb trades. agencies push enforcement.
