BOLD ROBBERY.
Gang of Five Loot Bank, Have Battle
With Citizens and Make Their
Escape.

South McAllister, Okla, Dec. 2a--A
gang Of five bank robbers looted the
bank at Kiowa. a small town sixteen
miles north of here, and escaped after
several hundred shots had been ex-
changed between the robbers and 8
posse of fifty citizens of Kiowa.
The robbers dynamited the safe and
secured $3.50 In cash., sorne Of which.
is believed to have been mutilated by
the explosion. The bank building wa.
partially wrecked.
While two Of the men did the work Of
blowing the safe, three remained out.
side as guards.
The first explosion was q failure
making a loud report. but doing little
damage. The citizens heard the re.
port and arlning themselves with revol.
vers and shotguns, a volley was fired at
the robbers inside, who were 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 g
steady fire with the posse of citizens
IT took three explosions to opel thu
safe.
After the last explosion the burglars
gathered up the money, and, leaving
through the front of the bank, got
away In the darkness. The posse fol.
lowed the gang for some distance, but
lost the trail.
While the citizens believe that one Of
the robbers was injured, not one Of the
citizens was struck. The latter vert
protected from the fire of the robbers
by stock pens in the rear of the banR
building.
A posse Of United States marshals is
IN pursuit, with little chance of result
az he men had several hours start.

and the state Of South Dakota, involving
what is known as the an~ti-compact law.
enacted by the last legislature. The ap-
peal which was taken to the United
states supreme court yesterday by the
insurance companies Is based upon the
following grounds:
1. That said act Of the legislature of the
state OF South Dakota, passed and ap-
proved March 8. 1903, known as house bill
