SALINA. Kas.. Nov. 12.-Three masked
robbers attempted 70 hold up the bank at
Sylvan Grove, Kas., forty miles west OF
here. at noon today, and one Of their
number met death in an unusually tragic
manner. He was shot by the cashier.
John Caten, of the bank. and when In a
dying condition was perforated with bull
lets by his own comrades to save them
selves from exposure
The men rode into town on fast horses.
They were finely mounted and heavily
armed. Their masked faces and flying
steeds attracted everybody's attention.
but they wasted no time in getting to
work. They pulled their horses up with
jerk in front Of the bank, and while
one robber remained seated. holding the
brides Of the other two horses, in guard
ing the entrance TO the bank, his two
companions entered. A citizen who was
translcting business at the counter quick
ly compiled with their command 10 throw
his hands up and the cashier was ordered
TO turn over what money he had, and to
do it double quick. He looked into the
muZzlss OF both reVOlvers for moment
and then reluctantly complied. It was but
a few minutes from the time the bandits
turned their horses into the business
street, before they were again mounted
and away with a. the ready cash the
bank had.
The moment the robbers were out Of the
building the cashier secured his gun and
rushing 20 the door opened fire upon them
as they were galloping away. The bullet
from the cashiers weapon lodged in the
back Of one OF the fleeing men. He stag
gered in his saddle for a moment, but
nerving himself he kept his seat and
galloped on. He was too badly wounded.
however, to continue, and before he had
gone a quarter OF a mile his body
swayed to and rro and finally he fell
heavily to the ground. His two comrades,
who. up to this time, had kept right
ahead, pulled their horses, and riding up
TO the PROSTATE man, deliberately fired
several shots into his body and
dashed away. When picked up the de-
serted outlaw he was dead. Nobody knew
him, and nothing to identify him was on
his person. Who his companions were Is
only d matter of conjecture. l. is believed
thar they are a scattered portion of the
Cook gang. working their way west after
having been separated from the main body
and driven from their haUnts in the In
dian territory.
The bank has offered a reward Of 500
each for the capture Of the robbers, dead
or alive. The sherlffs Of three counties
have organized forces which are in search
Of the bandits. The amount Of booty Sc
cured has not yet been learned. The bank
officials are keeping that quiet.
