Shoals, Oct. 15.—Three yeggmen. after blowing off the outer door of the vault in the Martin County bank here, and then placing a second charge of nitroglycerin in the inner door, were frightened away by citizens who were assembling in response to a fire alarm, sounded when two men learned that bandits were at work in the bank. The yeggmen fled from the town as the first citizens appeared after the fire bell rang.
