They Blow Up the Vault and Get Away With the Cash and Securities.
Five masked men entered the town of Milan, Ohio, and at 4 o'clock a. m. blew open the vault in the Lockwood Bank. The explosion was so great that it wrecked the building in which the bank was located and awakened the entire population. The citizens poured into the streets in time to see the thieves drive off in a buggy toward Sandusky. They took some $15,000 in cash, $10,000 in Government, Nickel Plate, and Sandusky, Milan and Norwalk Electric Railroad bonds. Cashier Stoddard heard the explosion, and rushing out with his gun he was confronted by three of the burglars, who told him to stand off and fired at him. Stoddard returned the fire, but apparently without effect. The police of Sandusky arrested two men on the charge of being implicated in the robbery of the Milan Bank.
