Bank Roberries
Paris Post, Friday, 1 July 1910, page 1
Burglars entered the Bank of Monpelier last Saturday night and secured about $190 in silver. They entered the bank from the rear, forcing open a door. They did not try to open the safe and from the fact that a bullet hole was found in the wall it is presumed that one of their pistols went off accidentally and this frightened them away, otherwise they would have endeavered to open the safe.
President G Gray is beginning to think robbers are showing a partially in his direction. The first theft occurred about fifteen years ago when Butch Cassidy and his gang swept down from Montpelier Canyon in broad daylight and held up the bank to the tune of about seven thousand dollors. One of the robbers was caught and sent to the penitentiary for several years.
