( aslucr Joseph A. Stickney was struck low n and brutal I v murdered near the desk which he had occupied for years. After killing Stickney. the murderers ransacked the vault and tied with all the cash it contained with the exception of S five dollar gold piece. As near as run le estimated, about 8.tMu was taken, but it is possible that the amount will considerably exceed this sum, as no one but the dead cashier knew the exact amount that was in the institution nt the time. The robbers, after knocking Stickney down with a blackjack, cut his throat. The most remarkable feature of the robbery is the fact that 101,000 in bonds of the l'nited States, which yvere kept la one of the drawers of the big vault, and which the robbers evidently examined hastily, were not taken. Neither yvas any of the negotiable paper and securities of the bank in (act, nothing is missing except the cash. No OSO WM aware that there was anything wrong ut the bank until two o'clock, or an hour after the murderous work yvas done.

The nun made their visit to tlu lanh at the busiest time of the day in the locality where the bank it situated und so completely und thoriwghly did they accomplish the robbery that only an uncertain clew and a very meager description of the in was oh tai nable. The bank was besciged by hundred! when the BOWS of the terrible affair eee.iine known, and large iiuiiiIhts ol people came here finm surrounding cities.
