BOLD BANK ROBBERY.
Five Men Successfully Loot the Bank
and Murder the Sheriff

The town OF Clarksvillc, Johnson
county, Ark, is greatly excited over Il
bold and successful bank robbery
which occurred early Wednesday when
the vault of the Bank of Clarksville
was dynamitcd and looted by five or
six men. Sheriff John H. Powers was
shot and killed by the robbers while
attempting To Illustrate their designs.
The exact amount secured 10y the rob-
bcrS is not known. but il is supposed
to be Between coo and $4,000.
Sheriff Powers who rOomcd i'm build
ing adjoining that Of the bank was
awakened shortly before ; o'clock by
Il terrific explosion in the bank. !SciZ-
ing pistol in each hand he rushed to
the bank. The robbers, who numbered
five or six, were evidently prepared for
him, as they opened lire the moment
he appeared. The officer was wounded
at the first vollcy but stood his ground
and returned the fire, sending half Il
dozen bullets at the robbers. The
wounded sheriff managed TO get back
to his room where he died within 20
minutes. When hastily aroused citi-
IcnS began arriving at he scene. row-
crs was dead and the robbers had van
iShcd.
The interior OF the bank presented
n wrecked appearance. the men having
used dynamite 10 break open the vault
door. having established guard
armed with WincheatelS outside [ hc
bank. they seemingly had anticipated
interference from the sheriff us they
must have known of his presence near
by. a train OF blood leading from the
bank is construed to mean that Pow
erS injured one or more OF the robbers.
He was shot three times himself and
any one of the wounds would have
proven fatal. Gov. Davis offered re-
ward of 50, coo for the arrest and con
victiOn of the bank robbers and the
Arkansas Bankers association offered
n similar reward OF 81. 600. These of
fers will he supplemented by addition
all rewards by the people of ClarkS-
vile.
y vigorous search is being made for
the fugitiveS, but it is believed they
have escaped into the mountains.
Sheriff Powers was one of the best
known officers i'm Arkansas. He had
been sheriff OF johnson county for II
years and would have been renomin-
ated without opposition for another
term in the Democratic primaries
Feb. l. He had the reputation Of be-
ing brave and fearless and had run
down Il large number OF criminals.
All towns between here and Fort
Smith have been wired Of the robbery
and no efforts will he spared to cap
turc the men. although a battle is eX-
pectcd should the fugitiyeS be over
taken. ClarksyilIc is 80 miles east of

ously hurt.
William Wand, foreman. seriously

The building in which the fire orig
mated was located in the old business
section OF the city and was about fifty
years old. The blaze, which proved a
hard one for the fire department to
master, had been brought practically
under control when suddenly, with alb
solutely no warning, the building col
lapsed and came down in heap with
noise that could be beard fqE blocks.

ward he hurried across the street and
fell under the aerial truck. The truck
was covered with debris and partially
wrecked, and it was to its sheltering
protection that the chief owes his life.
Frank Lingo, driver of the truck, was
directing a stream on the fire from
the aerial ladder about forty feet from
the ground when the wall fell. A
portion of the debris struck him and
he was hurled through the air to the
ground, receiving probably fatal in

Chief Swingley put his entire force
to work at once and made an effort to
rescue the tiremen, but although the
men work heroically, they had not
been able TO reach the victims at mid
night. 1t is certain that all are dead
