the bank, where they covered the clerks with |
revolvers, went through the safe and money |
drawers, securing about $1,000 in
cash. They then backed out. still
coveringgthe frightened bank people with
their revolvers and, remounting, departed IN
the way they came, firing their revolvers
and shouting like demons. The robbers, as

warm reception prepared fog them, and
concluded to abandon that part OF
their original scheme and safely make
way with their booty. Ths robbers
with this audacious deed
all wore masks. The impression in Brookheld
and among those who heard the news here is
that the leader ia no less than Frank james.

ers each, and spread terror through the town
as they rode through it. The men were well
mounted, and rode like troopers. The county
Sheriff and Marshal organized posse as
speedily as possible and started after the rob-
bers. In conversation with Bob Ford, Dick
Little, exMarshal Leggett and others In this
city, who are familiar with the James gang,
opinion was cleaned from them that Frank
j James was not mixed up in this affair, al
though they admit the job was done up In
the james boys style, and the opinion was
hazarded that tho robbers might possibly be
some of those who sat at the knees CT the
famous leaders.

Brookheld special says: The pursuit of the
bank robbers has been continued vigorously
to-day, and the last accounts are that the
gang are surrounded at a point few miles
northeast of Macon by 500 men from Lynn,
Sullivan, Macon and Adair counties, and that
while they have kept their pursuers at bay
30 far by their heavier arms, their capture is
considered certain. Two of the pursuing party
have been slightly wounded, and one of the
robbers is known to be badly hurt. The robbers
are now known to be men who have been
stopping on the Harper farm, near Kinks
vile, for some days prior TO the robbery. A
train with armed men is soon to leave for the
place where the robbers are surrounded, and
it is believed the latter will have no possible
chance for escape. If they attempt to break
through the lines they will be shot down
without mercy. The whole country is up in
arms, and men have left their fields, stores
and workshops in all the half.dozan counties,
to hunt the desperadoes down. The exact
amount lost by the bank is S4,792. Five
hundred dollars reward is offered for the
