miles north OF here, and escaped after
several hundred shots had been ex-
changed between the robbers and a
posse Of fifty citizens of Kiowa.
The robbers dynamited the safe and

the explosion. The bank building was
partially wrecked.
While two of the men did the work of
blowing the safe, three remained out
side as guards.
The first explosion was a failure,
making a loud report. but doing little
damage. The citizens heard the re-
port and arrniag themselves with revolt
vers and s~hotguns, a volley was fired at
the robbers inside, who We're visible
through the shutters. The fire was re-
turned by the guards secreted on the
outside.
While the two men on the inside
worked the three outside kept up a
steady fire with the posse OF citizens.
1t took three explosions to open the
safe.
After the last explosion the burglars
gathered up the money, and, leaving
through the front of the bank, go
away in the darkness. The posse fol-
lowed the gang for some distance, but
lost tie trail.
While the citizens believe, that one OF
the robbers was injured, not n of the
citizens was struck. The latter We're
