Bank Robbery Hits Waverly as Bandits Escape with Loot
The Waverly State Bank was robbed of 1500 to 2000 dollars at 12:30 am Tuesday by armed gangsters who held employees down and wounded one. About 90,000 dollars stored in the vault was seized before the time lock stopped access. A shotgun blast fired at the vault preceded the getaway. This was the third in-town bank robbery within a week, with other robberies in nearby towns and several thousand dollars from related institutions. Senior class hosted a Halloween party for the faculty and staff last Friday, enjoying a fine event.
