near the bank and stood some time talk
ing on the corner.
Suddenly three horsemen came with a
r1Sb 6Ourr, he
mons and firing their rcvovers.
Get off the street," they shouted, and
the frightened people lost no time In
obeylng.
Two other horsemen rode In from an
other direction, and the ping Of bullets
and the din Of yelling redoubled. In a.
few moments the streets were deserted.

The death Of Cashier Haywood oc-
Cured in the attempt to loot the bank
The outlaws were set upon by the peO-
pie Of the town. The fight between the
outlaws and citizens grew hotter every
minute, and all of the bandits were
wounded more or less seriously Bob
Younger had his right elbow ALTERED
but shifted mis- revolver to his left hand
and went on firing. Bill Caldwell was
killed as he was riding out Of town. ClclI
Miller fell dead few minutes later. Jim
Younger's horse was killed and he him
self badly wounded.
Jessie and Frank James escaped un-
harmed. Jim and Cole Younger were
wounded, and Bob remained to guard
