Burlington, Aug. 2—Early yesterday morning some person or persons gained access to the interior of the First Savings Bank and rummaged all over the place, except the vault, which could not be entered. When the assistant cashier arrived he found papers scattered all ove the floor and a sum of money, taken in late the day before, missing. The loss was not great. At first it was thought entrance had been made from a broken window in the rear, but the police had finger-print experts, who say the print on the papers corresponds with those oa negro man, who possibly had access to the building. No definite information has been given out yet.
