WICHITA FALLS, Tex, Feb 20 Tive
robbers entered the City National bank
and demanded the money OF Cashier Dor
sey, who resisted them. Shooting began,
resulting in the death OF Cashier Frank
Dorsey and the wounding Of BookkeepoI
p. p. Langerford. Langerford's wounds
are not serious. The robbers secured only
a few hundred dollars in silver, mounted
their horses and made run for their lives.
BY this time many OF the citizens had
armed themselves, and a small battle took
place. One robbers horse was shot from
under him, and it is believed the robher
was wounded. He mounted behind his
partner, and about one mile from town
met farmer in buggy. They took his
horse and made a break for the hills In
the meantime the citizens had secured
horses, and at last reports they were with
in a quarter Of a milo of the robbers, with
good prospects of overtaking them. Cap
tain Mcdonald and his rangers came in at
4 o'clock and took the trail at once. lt j.
believed hanging bee viii take place II
they are caught. A reward OF $1,000 Is
offered by the Panhandle and City nation
al banks for their capture, dead on alive
The robbers are corralled in large thick
ct In the middle OF pasture nine miles
from town. The thicket is surrounded By
20 or 80 determined men, who are fully
armed, and escape IS almost impossible.
Foster Crawford, one of the robbers who
killed Cashier Dorsey is said to be a not
ed desperado. 1t IS also reported that one
Of the famous Christian gang was the 9TH

"Hold up your handsr
Mr.. Adair sprang for his pistol, when
the men commenced shooting and Mr..
Goodwin received what Is Thought TO be a
mortal wound, and Mr. Adair was shot
through the shoulder He returned the
fro and evidently wounded one Of the
men, as when he rode of he was seen 70
be bleeding
The firing OF the pistols startled The
citizens, who came running from all di.
rections, and the robbers were forced TO
retire without accomplishing their object.
AS they rode out Of town they kept up a
fusillade OF shots.
The plans were well laid, and no doubt
the bank would have been looted but for
the promptness Of Mr.. Adair with his pis-
tol. MIR. Goodwin "a in a critical condi-
tion. Mr.. Adair's wound Is a very pain
ful one, but not necessarily dangerous. In
order 10 make their escape more effective
It Is thought the rasoals had q confederate
TO tamper with the telegraph wires and
thus cut off telegraphic communication.
Several citizens had morrow escape
from the flying bullets, and the interior Of
the bank is perforated with bullet holes.
A strong armed force is in close pursuit OF
the highwaymen.
