TEXAS ROBBERS.
Machine Carrying $4,000 Attacked
but Escapes After a Fight,

BLISS, Okla, June 13.-An attempt
was made to hold up the treasure
party carrying the $4,000 Of receipts
taken from the 10l ranch Sunday, by a
party Of desperadoes, and would have
succeeded but that the automobile in
which the treasure was carried from
the Miller Brothers ranch to Ponca
outran the horses of the bandits. AS
1t was, there was brisk fight.
When the robbers appeared George
Miller called to MCGOWAN, the chauf-
feur, to put on speed, and commenced
firing. DR.. Thomas joined him, while
MCGOWAN crowded on all the power
the big machine could carry. The
robbers set up yell and spurred their
horses toward their victims, firing as
they came. But their ponies we're no
match for the auto, which was out Of
range in less than minute.
Nobody was hurt, but the speed
regulator was shot Off the automobile.
