Hoilinpsworth to open the door Of the vault,
saving that he would kill him II he refuse1.
At this Schurr opened the door from the In.
siie, fearing the threat would be carried
into effect but was coolly told TO walt
minute. :.
Starr covered the two bankers with his
pistols and had Newcomb reach under the
cashiers counter and secure the two Win
eaesters and q revolver lying there. -,
Then .Schurr was ordered to open the
vault door, and, at the point OF Wln-
chester, was made to place all the money In
the vault, $1,000, in a wheat sack, and from
the money drawer $500 was added. All tnls
was done very quickly.
Starr inmped over the counter just as q
business man came In to make deposit.
Starr ordered the man to throw up his
hands and was obeyed. Starr backed to
one side of the entrance Just as another GUS
toner entered with bank BOOK in hand.
1t was nearly the closing hour, and in i've
minutes, perhaps, the robber had seven clti-
1ans in line, each with his hands up.
'sThe Daltons are not all dead" said Starr
to the terrified hank officials and citizens.
~ guess we'll pay the bank across the street
. visit" he laughed.
1t was o'clock, and Starr calmly closed
the bank doors, but without turning his
hack to the prisoners, Then the robbers
marched the ten men back through the bank
into q yard surrounded by high board
fence, locked the door, walked hurriedly out
as thefrunt, mounted their horses and rode
rapidly southward. 1t was ten minutes be-
fore the alarm was given.
When the alarm was finally given the
news Of the daring robbery spread rapidly,
and a posse Of citizens was quickly organ
ized and started in pursuit. Before the
start could be made, however, the robbers
had secured an advantage Of fully thirty
minutes.
The bank was soon surrounded and the
sill frightened bank officials were too over
como to accurately state their loss further
than that every thing in sight In the money
line had been secured by their visitors.
