masked men this morning made a despo-
rate attempt to rob the Butte County
Bank at Bellefourcho. Entering the
bank with revolVers drawn they ordered
tho customers present and bank officials
to hold up their hands. A little hesita-
fancy on the part Of Cashier Marble drew
a shot from the gun of one Of the rob
bers, which clipped off a large portion Of
the cashiers right ear and forced COM
pliance with the command. The safe
and counters were reliMef OF the cash
they contained. and the robbers mounting
their horses. which had been convenient
ly stationed, rode away.
An alarm was Immediately given S,nd
in a few minutes well mounted and
armed posse was in pursuit OF the rob-
bers. Within a few miles from the town
the posse came up with the fugitives and
a running fight cnsued, which resulted in
one Of the robbers throwing up his hands
and surrenderinc. The others being bet
ter mounted. continued their flight, but
are being close pursued and have very
few chances for escape. The day was
favorable for a raid on the bank. as the
weather was such that IT kept the towns
people off the street. The robbers had
little Opposition and had quite a start
before the alarm could be given.
