Tending his trust Thursday morning by
three robbers. Two of the robbers are

hands of the officers of the law, who
are in hot pursuit.
Three men had been seen lounging
about the bank for day or two with
out any apparent business About
lO:45 o'clock Thursday morning, when
no customers were present, they entered
the bank and covered those pres
ent with their guns. The spokes-

three men then grabbed all the cash in
sight, amounting to perhaps $1,000.
Then they started for the outside,
where their horses were hitched.

ware store near the bank, heard the
shot and seizing his loaded Winchester

down the road for the country. BY
| this time the bank was the center of an

as they ascertained what had occurred
they rushed to their homes, secured
horses, guns and ammunition and set
off after the fleeing robber.
A portion of the posse in pursuit of
the third robber returned Thursday

trail in the mountains and that the
man would probably escape, as he was
well mounted, The dead men
