Three Robbers Looted Masonville Bank Overnight
Masonville, Delaware county. Around 2:30 A M two to three men used nitroglycerin to blast open the vault at the Farmers State bank and stole about 4200 dollars. The robbers fled toward Manchester, abandoning a buggy and horse team along the way. A search party led by A S McGovern and F H Clark traced possible leads as three suspects were later arrested in Manchester. The bank building suffered severe damage and some notes may be recovered. Authorities believe a decoy plan lured pursuers away. Local railway workers reported two flashes and alerted residents. Police from Waterloo were notified and patrol trains for suspects continue.
