shell.

Perrln, the paying teller, of the bank, was taken to a local hospital, temporarily insane from the shock, ac­cording to physicians who examined him. No trace of the bandit had been discovered at 10 o'clock.

Several Men in Hearing. Three clerks and two janitors were

at work in the bank at the time the robbery occurred but they were in rooms some distance from the vaults except E. R. Hollenbeck, a janitor who was less than fifty feet away but who said he could not see the vault doors because of a curtain partition.

The bank has been undergoing ex­tensive repairs for the last few weeks, and it is this fact that led the author­ities to believe that the bandit had ob-ained entrance some time yeserday afernoon, in the garb of a workman, and that he had secreted himself be­fore the bank doors were closed.

The robber appeared to want only currency as' several sacks of silver on the floor of the vault were ignored. While he was filling his pockets the lights in the vault suddenly went out and he apparently became alarmed. Holding his revolver in front he back­ed out quickly, closed the vault on Perrin, and escaped by a rear door. He was believed to be in hiding some­where in the city.

Perrin was unable to give a clear description of the man. He said, however, that he was tall, apparently young, wore a grey suit and that his face was sunburned.

Detectives On Case. Des Moines, Aug. 4.—P. W. Hall,

secretary of the Iowa Bankers' associa­tion, was notified of the robbery of the Cedar Rapids National bank short­ly after it took place, and immediately put detectives on the case. Attorney General Cosson also assigned his spec­ial agents to make an effort to locate the bandit.

Two Bandits Caught. Des Moines, Aug. 4.—Plans for the

return to North Liberty of the two men believed to have been the bandits who held up and robbed the Farmers' Sav­ings bank of that town on July 16, af­ter overpowering and gagging the as­sistant cashier, J. A. Cypra, occupied attention at the attorney general's of­fice today.

the time the cloudburst let go over Erie last night until 8 o'clock this morning when officials of both roads reported that communication had been re-established with the west over temporary single tracks. Washouts, unprecedented In depth and extent, and the loss of culverts and part of one bridge, through which a freight train crashed, it was said, were the worst features of the problem facing the operating officials. 4

Reports of damage to tracks came through before midnight and at that hour word was received that all four tracks of the Lake Shore and those of the Nickel Plate had been swept away between Brie and Mooreheads, the first station east.

Trains that had passed through Buf­falo, westbound, were recalled early today and sent over the Michigan Cen­tral Canadian line to Detroit. These included the Twentieth Century, west­bound, which left New York yesterday afternoon; the Boston and Chicago special due here, the Southwestern special leaving New York at 4 p. m., the Lake Shore limited, out of Buffalo,

and the Big Four limited, which loft New York at 4:50. Half a dozen east-bound trains, including No. 26, ths eastbound Twentieth Century, due in New York at 9:40 a. m. today, were held up by washouts.

The rainstorm which culminated in the cloudburst at Erie covered all of the northern Pennsylvania and west­ern New York. It began wltji a ter­rific downpour yesterday aftantfon &nd continued practically without cessation through the night and well on into to­day. In no place except In the Im­mediate vicinity of .

With bright skies at inter­mittent periods of the day the weather has seemed more ideal for an early April day instead of early August. An examination of the records for the past five years, however, shows that August 4 has not been a record breaker for heat. Last year the thermometer reg­istered 84 with the same temperature in 1913. In 1912 it dropped to 64, and in 1911 it touched the high mark of 92. These are the maximum temperatures
