tary of the Evangelical Alliance of the
United States. sent out an appeal to 'all

CITIZENS HELD At BAY
DESPERATE ATTEMPT by TWELVE
MEN TO ROB AN OHIO BANK.
Nine stood on Guard with Guns Point
ed mt Residents of the Town, While
Three Dynamfted the Vault.

DELAWARE, o.. Nov. 2o.-A dozen pro-
fessional bank robbers made a desperate
attempt to secure the contents of the
money vault of Sperry & Warnstaff's de-
post bank at Ashley, ten miles north Of
here. to-day. before daylight. While nine
stood on guard holding the citizens at bay
with their guns. three operated the dyna-
mite under the deposit vault of the brick
building.
The banks property is worth $4,000, and
there was $4,000 in cash deposits on hand.
Four attempts were made to get at the
cash, but the inside door held to its COM
bination, while the guards outside were
shooting at the citizens who pressed close
ly in upon them. DIR. Buckley and Guy
Shoemaker merchants, first upon the scene.
were met by the robbers at the muzzle of
a gun and ordered to move. The robbers
stole horse and spring wagon from AL
vim Sterrill and q team and new surrey
from Edward Osborne, farmers nearby.
The vehicles lay in wait in front of the
bank for flight. Sterrills horse ran away,
demolishing the wagon, when the men took
across the country on foot. Buggy robes
from Osbornes carriage were found near
Norton. The damage to the bank build
ing, vault and other property is about half
its value.
The gang left a Big Four freight at Ma
rengo at 1 o'clock, stole the horses and
rigs, and reached Ashley shortly after 2
o'clock. They pried open the bank doors
without being discovered, but the first ex-
plosion of dynamite aroused the town. The
gang fired they fed, but no one was
hurt. The men were masked. officers in
every direction were notified to be on the
lookout for the robbers.
The robbers were not frightened away
by those surrounding the bank at the time
they fed, but by the telephone In the bank,
which indicated that the town was aroused.
The cashier went to the telephone ex-
change and arranged to have the bank
called up repeatedly, and this made the
robbers believe that q great crowd would
soon surround them.
