Coffeyville, Kan. Especially The
Citizens State Bank at Chautauqua,
20 miles west of Coffeyville, was rob-
bed of about $4,000 by two men. The
men entered the bank and forced
cashier G. G. Walterhouse and Dal
Easley, a business man, to 20 into
the vault. The bandits locked them

ana escaped into the Usage Hills
across the line in Oklahoma. Four
posses are in pursuit, and, as the
roads are muddy, it is believed the
robbers will be captured. The rob-
bers secured but half and hours start.
The robbery was one of the most
daring ever executed in this part of
Kansas, the scene of many bold hold
ups on the part of the Dalton, Starr
and other gangs of outlaws who from
time to time have made their rem
devious in the mountainous coun-
try of nearby Oklahoma.
Cashier Walterhouse had scarcely
opened the bank and placed his cur
rency on the counter ready for the
days business when the two rob-
bers entered. The only other person
In the place was Del Easley.

dressed, made their way leisurely to
the cashiers window. One of them
was man we'll known about town
and when he commanded Walter
house and Easley to throw up their
hands, the latter took the matter
in the light of a joke
The serious intentions of the rob-
bers were realized a moment later,
when they both drew revolvers, and,
pointing them at their victims, or
dered them to get into the vault.
Without further ado WalterhOuse and
Easley complied. The robbers slam
med the door shut and leisurely went
about their business of looting the
bank.
First they drew down the window
snades facing the street and locked
the doors to prevent interference.
When they had scraped up all the
money in sight they walked out the
front entrance and up the main
street. One of the men carried a
gunnysack. Several persons who
knew the man spoke to him in a
friendly manner. Nothing in the ap-
pearance of the robbers betrayed the
part they had just played. A block
away they mounted horses that they
had tied at the curbing and drove off.
After going a few blocks from the
center of the town they directed
their horses south toward the Okla
homa-Kansas state line and whipped
them into a gallop.
The robbery was not discovered
till half an hour later, when J. II.
Edwards, president of the bank, en-
tered his office. After releasing
Walterhouse and Easley from the
vault President Edwards gave the
alarm locally and to surrounding
towns. Within another 80 minutes
posses had been made up in Chau-
tauQua and at Elgin and Sedan, Kan.
and Pawhuska, Okla, all contiguous
to the scene of the robbery, and
from three sides armed men began
a hot chase after the robbers.
