Gangsters at Work at the Bank
... Vern A Blomquist; his assistant and nightwatchman, A O Hopkins, and Lawrence Peterson, janitor at the bank building, who stealthily crept through the building....
"It's funny now, but it wasn't funny then," says Mr Blomquist, "but at least it taught me something--I wouldn't go about arresting bandits that way again. We probably prevented some damage in the furnace room anyway,"..
...We went in with guns pointed and Lawrence turned on the flashlight, but there was no sign of gangsters.
...Hearing another explosion we went back to the furnace room, and upon investigation found that the furnace was out of commission. The stoker would fill it with coal, which would smolder awhile, causing gas to accumulate and explode, and then we discovered the knocking radiator..
