A Banker Forced to Bign and Cash 8 Big Check A startlingly bold bank robbery occurred in Denver, Col, stl o'clock in the afternoon, Dwvid H, Moffat, President of the First Na tional Bank and also President of the Denver | and Rio Grande Rallway, was the victim, 1, in which | though the loss, $21,000, will fall upon the bank, At 11 o'clock a well-dressed man of middle age walked into Mr. Moffat's offices in the Rio Grande Building and requested an interview with him His first remark was to ask Mr. Moffat if he had a blank check about him. Mr. Mof- fat, supposing this had something to do with the man's story, sentout for the blank When the clerk brought it and had departed the stranger drew a revolver, and, pointing it at the President's head, coolly said: “if you make a move or speak a word 1 will Kill you on the spot. 1 am in desperate circumstances, and you must give me $21,000 I have counted all the risks in this undertaking, and have thor. oughly laid my pass. If yousay a word, or by any act convey tc any one any sign, I will kill you in an instant, The man had a light overcoat over his arm. His pistol was in the right band. He removed the coat from the Jeft to the right arm sud drew the weapon under the foids of his coat. This precaution was taken in Mr. Moftat's presence, and, without anciner word of warning, the bank President aad the robber walked into the large bankin room wheres there were perhaps a score persons doing business and thirty clerks and employes were behind the railings The two walked to the window of the Pay- ing Teller, Thomas Keeley The stranger laid the check down on the counter and Mr, Moffat nodded to the teller signifying that it was all right. The bald rascal then sald to the Teller: "Count it out in big bills the larger the better, and one thou sand in gold’ He then requested Mr. Moffat to order the Teller to bring the money to the President's private office. This Mr. Moffat did, and at a suggestive nod from the robber the two men walked back across the large counting room and entered the President's offic: Once inside, the stranger again cautioned Mr. Moffat at the peril of his life not to give any warning, He kept up this r anning talk for at least ten minutes, or until the Teller appeared with the money It comprised one ten- thousand dollar b ten one-thousand dollar bills, and $1000 in gold Mr. Moffat amisted in putting the gold into a tag brought by the Teller for the pur. pose, and the Teller retired The robber then threatensd Mr. MoiTat that if he created s sosne within five minutes his comrade, who was in the counting -room outside, would kill Bim, and then be left, walking out into the crowded street. Mr. Moffat did not believe in the comrade lingering near, and at once gave the alarm The Chief of Police has offered a reward of £250 for the arrest of the robber and gives the following description ‘The man's age is thirtyrawo, height five feel eight inches, swarthy complexion, weight 140 pounds, heavy brown mustache, badly sunburnsd, derby hat light brown overcoat, wears jong linked plated watch chain.* THE COMING CENTENNIAL.
