Three Men Commit a Daring Crlme-One
Shot to Death and Another Fatally

LA GRANDE, Ore. Oct. 8. The First
national bank of Joseph, Wallowa
county, was robbed Thursday after
noon of $4,000 by three masked men,
one of whom is dead and another bad
ly wounded, while the third is being
pursued by a posse of citizens. At
the time of the hold-up there were
four customers in the bank. All were
lined up against the wall and while
two of the robbers stood guard the
third went into the vault, taking all the
coin and currency. He then ransacked
the private boxes.
BY this time the report that the bank
was being robbed had reached the cit
izens, several of whom armed them
selves and went to the scene. AS the
robbers made their exit from the bank
Alexander Donnelly opened fire and
killed one robber instantly and
wounded another, hitting him twice.
The third robber had the sack contain
ing the coin and succeeded in reaching
his horse, which was standing near by,
and made his escape to the hills. The
robber killed was named Brown, while
the one who escaped was Cy Fitzhugh
