NORTH ADAMS- MASS Prominent Berkshire, Man Was Hero of Daring Attempt at Bank Back in 1875. Frederick Nelson Deland, 78, retired president of the Mahawie National Bank of Great Harrington and hero of the most daring attempted bank robbery in the history of Berk-snire county, died last night at the home of his brother-in-law, Eugene Kobbins of 24 West Housatonic street, Pittsfleld.

Mr. Deland, who was a veteran of the Civil war, held a gold "me4aj awarded to. him for his bravery during the geige of Port Hudson, but was most famous tor his part, in frustrating an attempt to burglarize the vault of the Great Harrington bank in which he was then cashier, and which contained several million dollars in negotiable securities, on the night of May 2S, 1875. On that night, while Mr. Deland was at his home with his parents, Mr.

and Mrs. William N. Deland, and his sister, Miss Emma Deland, a gang of robbers, believed to be the same who robbed a Northampton 'bank of over a million In securities in the same year by forcing the cashier to yield up the vault combination, entered the house, and bound and gagged them. They then endeavored to force Deland to give them the combination to the vault. Fortunately a time lock, the first to be installed on any bank vault in the country, had been placed in the Great Barrington bank a few days before, but Mr.

Deland was unable to convince the robbers of this until he had taken them to the bank and permitted them to listen to the tick of the clocks wrth their ears against the steel door of the vault. He was then blindfokied and taken back home by the. robbers who left him and the ether members of the family bound. They were freed by neighbors who found them in the morning. The experiences of that night are believed to have hastened the deaths of Mr.

Deland's parents and sister, and Ms nearest living relative is Mr. Robblns at whose home in Pittsfleld he died. After that incident, which proved conclusively the value of time locks, devices- were installed In every large bank in the country. Mr. Deland was born in Sheffield December 25, 1843.

At the outbreak of the Civil war he enlisted in Co. of Berkshire county's famous 49th regiment, and served with that command throughout the war. At Port Hudson, Mr. Deland, with a few other men, volunteered to make up an attacking party which besieged the city under shell fire and for that heroism he was awarded a gold congressional medal. After the war he returned to Great Barrington and became a clerk In the Mahawie bank.

Five years later he was promoted to be cashier, and after 35 years' service in that office, became president. He retired in 1916, following the death of his wife who was Miss Elizabeth EnsiRn Smith of Torrington, Conn. The Juneral will be held Saturday afternoon from St. James Episcopal church in Great Barrington and burial will be in Great Barrington. "Tlyree O'clock in the Morning."
