Paris, III., dispatch County National bank building and vault in this city was almost com pletely wrecked by dynamite Thurs day morning and fihe police declare the affair is shrouded in deep mys tery. No motive for the deed has been discovered and as no money was taken the authorities doubt that the vault was blown for the purpose of robbery. Whoever did the Job did not know how to measure the power of the ex plosive or intended to make a com plete wreck of the place. The bank ing business, while the building was being remodeled, has been conducted in another place, but the old vault and safes were were still used. The vault seemed to have been blown from inside, as its walls were thrown out ward and the structure obliterated. The partition walls of ajoining build ings went down and window panes for blocks were broken. The stocks of the Bradshaw Jew: elry store and Wetzel's shoe store were damaged several thousand dol lars by the falling partition walls. The contents of the bank vault were strewn about the street and burled in the debris of the building. Money Intact In Safee. The bank funds are- said to have been in two safes standing near the vault, and these, while overturned, held the contents securely. The offi cers of the bank said no money was missing and that there was about $50,• 000 in the safes. The bank books and about 200 safety deposit boxes were buried in the wreckage. So far only one man has been found who was in sight when the ex plosion occurred. He is Daniel Win- gart and he says that he was on the northeast corner of the public square. The bank is on that side of the square. He says that immediately following the explosion he saw a man run across the square. Walter Juntgen, the bank's book keeper, in telling of his peculiar con nection with the explosion, says he was sitting up with a sick child in his apartments on the opposite side of the square, and when he heard the explosion he rushed to the window. Just then he was struck by a brick, which broke his arm below the elbow. The distance the brick would have traveled by being blown from the bank building would be 300 feet.

The police say they have a clew.
