K. c. World, Jan. 4.
Burglars attempted to rob the safe
in the bank at Camden Point in
Platte county, shortly before 1:3o
O'Clock this morning. They had sue
ceeded in blowing open the safe, but
had not time to get to the money
drawer before the alarm was given.
1t is probable that the safe blowers
would have been successful and Sc
cured a considerable sum of money
had not the lookout" been diseov-
cred by f, H. Rixey ofCamden Point
who was returning home from par
ty. Young Rixey saw the man as
he drove past the bank and had
driven but few yards when the ex-
plosion took place. Driving hurried
ly to the home ofJ. ". Pullins young
Rixey aroused him and Mr.. Pullins
armed with a shotgun started for the
bank.
In the meantime the safeblowers,
four in number, had become alarmed
and started for the railroad station
of Tracy, about a mile from Camden
Point. They were intercepted by
Pullins, who pluckily opened fire on
the burglars. One Of the burglars
returned the fire and a lively shoot
ing bee took place on the dark road.
Pullins wounded his man, as he and
the Others who Joined him about this
stage of the affair saw that blood
was streaming down the face OF one
of the robbers.
p 1t had been a running battle and
the robbers had reached the railroad
tracks, where they had a handcar in
readiness, Before the posse of pur-
suing citizens could reach them the
burglars were whirling away toward
Smithville, In the meantime Smith
vile had been notified by telephone
OF the attempted bank robbery and
Il number of farmers, armed with
shotguns, were on hand. The far

Commandant Snyman did not talk
