Parties Unknown Crack Safe and Make | Away With Cash and Notes. | The Farmers Bank of Walnut, one of the most thriving little banks in the county, was robbed last Thursday | morning at an early hour, the robbers stripping the bank of practically all, cash on hand and even taking the! notes. The identity of the yeggmen is un-| known, but the authorities in charge of the investigation have a number of | clues upon which they are now at} work and it is confidently expected | that the guilty parties will be appre- | hended in the near future. The news of the robbery reached this city early Thursday morning, and J. B, Walton, | accompanied by Sheriff Bullock, W. | B. Weeks and W. R. Bell, drove to Foster in his car, taking sufficient cash to enable the bank to continue | business. i Entrance to the building was effec- | ted by way of the front door, which | was forced with a pinch bar or sim-| ilar implement. The door to the vault in which the safe stood, was| blown open, and the safe was then blown. It is presumed that two shots were necessary to force both doors of the safe. The robbers secured $3,212.64 in cash, over seven hundred dollars of | this being in silver. They also took | all the notes held by the bank, | latter will not be a loss to the bank as the institution has a record of all its paper. Insurance to the amount of $4,500 was carried, which will more than cover the loss. Suspicion points toa stranger who arrived in Foster the Monday pre- ceeding the robbery, who represent- ing himself to be deaf and dumb, so- licited financial aid.

Her 15-year-old son, Sammie, didn’t like to go to the Wesport High School |8o he left home yesterday morning to | seek his fortune, or, as he expressed it in a farewell letter to his mother, “to make a man of himself.”” According to his mother, Sammie jis a handsome boy with the ruddiest kind of cheeks and blond hair. He |looks 20 years old, she says. He is 5 | feet 10 inches tall. “When he left home Thursday | morning to go to school I had an in- ‘ tuition that he would not come home,”’ Mrs. Heinlein said. ‘‘He had talked \continually about going into the navy or entering the militia. Sure enough jhe didn’t come home. A letter came instead. It said, ‘Dearest Mamma,’ and then said that he was going out into the broad world to make a man of himself and that he wouldn’t come home until he had made a man of himself and that we musn’t try to find him because he couldn’t be found. Sammie is just at that nervous age and he just couldn’t bear to go to school. And he needn’t go if he will only come home.”—Friday’s K. : C. Star. For Sale at a Bargain.

We therefore rec- ommend and advise that it is to the best interests of the pupil, the school and the community that no teacher in a rural school attempt to teach any work higher than the eighth grade. We believe that school boards make a serious mistake in asking or re- quiring teachers to teach the same. 2nd.
