Texas Bank Looted.

McGregor, Tex., Oct. 31.—The First National Bank of McGregor was looted yesterday morning about 2:30 o’clock. The thieves opened the outer door by the combination. To the inner steel chest dynamite was applied, completely wrecking the safe. The booty secured amounted to between SIO,OOO and $12,000 in paper and gold. All the silver was untouched and mutilated coins were scattered all over the floor. The bank is fully insured in the Fidelity and Casualty Company, and will suffer no loss. It is fully solvent and will continue business.
