Bank robbed at Randolph with vault dynamited
The First National Bank of Randolph was robbed early this morning by three masked men who dynamited the vault after holding up and tying up the town marshal. About $10 000 in gold and currency was taken and the marshal was left gagged in a bank room as the heist lasted about forty five minutes. Ralph Woods left for West Chester to visit relatives as excitement grows over a Baptist church banquet planned for April 18 with Prof Shailer Matthews as speaker and committees at work.
