MURDERED BY BANK ROBBERS.
Cashier Joseph A. Stickney Meets the Death
of a Hero.
Somfriwortb. N. H-, April 16.
While resistiug the entry of two
desperate and determined robbers,
and during a heroic struggle to pro
tect 15.000 cr mote in money and
owrritis i the cooirartmeijtt of
the oten vault ct the Great Falls
National bawk of Sornersworth this
af cernooc, Cashier Joseph A. auct
nev was struck dowa and brutally
murdered near the desk which he
baj occupied for jeirs. After kultog
Stickney th murderers ransacked
the vault asd 3ed with all the cash
w th the exception of a few gold
pieces.
As near as can ba estimated 56,000
was taken, bat it is poseibthat the
loss will considerably exceed this !
sum, as none but the dead cashier
koew the exact amount that was in
the institution at the time. The
ro'obere, ef;er kaocking Stickney
down with a "black jick," cut his
throat. The most remarkable feature
of the robbery is that $10,000 in
bond? of the United States, which
were kept in one of the drawers of
the biz vault, and which the robbsrs
examined hastily, were not tatn.
Neither was any of tha negotiable
paper and securities of the bank ia
fact, nothing n missing except toe
cash.
It hai always b?en custornnry for
Cashier Stickney and the bnk clerk.
Mrs. Parker Swazey, to close the
bank at 12 o'clock an! reopen it at 2
o'clock. Today Mrs. Swazey lsft
her desk at noon. The cashier, bow
ever, remained looking over the
bank s accounts, and it is thought
he was preparing to go out when
the robbers entered.
The first suspicion that th bank
had been robbed was at 2 o'clock,
whf n Frank P. Reel went up the
staircase of the b ink building and
found that thq thick plate glass in
the hall door of the bank had been
completely shattered. He notified
City Marshal Eaton, and they broke
in the door and found evidenses of
a desperate struggle. Oa the floor
in a great pool of blood, was the
lifeless body of Stickney. His heal
had bean nearly severed from the
body, the robbers having cut bis
throat. The head was marked with
several de?p gashes made by a heavy
"black jack," ani the skull was frac
tured. The body was covered with
blood and tre walls ani furniture
