Eight Charges are Fired

After Fight With
Citizens.

(By United Press Leased Wire.
BALD KNOB, Ark. March 10.
After firing eight charges OF
dynamite and wrecking local
bank, party of bandits were
driven from the banks vault by a
fusillade of shots from citizens
aroused by the explosion, and,
although the cracksmen made
desperate efforts to open the safe,
they were compelled to abandon
the attempt. The robbers teft
town on horses, firing upon their
pursuers and, in a running bat
tie, more than 200 shots were
exchanged.
The explosion at the bank
awakened the citizens, who arm
ed themselves and attacked the
bandits. Two robbers returned
the fire of the townspeople while
third drilled and dynamoted
causing ap roperty loss of more
the lock of the vault, but could
not open the huge steel door.
The arrival of reinforcements
for the citizens caused the rob-
bers to mount their horses. AS
they left they fired at windows
and at their pursuers.
1t Is believed that one of the
robbers was wounded, as hat
in small pool of blood was
found in front of the bank. A
posse started in pursuit.

PORTLAND, Ore, March ~

PORTLAND, Ore, March 19.-
Through a deal just closed,
control of the stock of the
automatic telephone companies of
Tacoma, Portland, Bellingham,
Seattle and several of the smaller
Northwest cities has passed from
the National Securities company
of Los Angeles to Portland and
Seattle capitalists. The stock is
said to be worth $750,000, but
the amount paid for 1t is one of
the secrets of the transaction.
The purchase involved between
40 and so per cent of the stock
of the Home Telephone company
of Puget Sound, the Northwestern
Long Distance Telephone company
| of Portland and the Home Tele-
phone company of Portland.
One of the first announcements
concerning new plans Is to the ef-
feet that while one management
will control the affairs of the
three companies, the concerns will
not lose their individuality.
This change insures uniform
management and makes possible a
more economical management
than when operated as three sep
arate plants. Mr.. Hervey Lind
ley has been elected president of
the new company and will have
active charge OF the business.
The construction of the three
companies was financed by the
National company of Los Angeles
Following the completion of this
work the latter concern advanced
the necessary funds to carry them
through financial difficulties. The
Los Angeles company still retains
bonds of the three companies
amounting to $1,0O0,000.

PARKERSBURG,W w. Va, Mar
10.-The bodies Of three pedsOns
were recovered from the wreck
age of forty houses which were
overwhelmed this morning by the
bursting of two large reservoir!
above the city.
-Four persons were fatally in.
jured, while many others sustain.
ed injuries which, though serious
will not prove fatal.
The flooded ruins are being
searched and 1t is expected that
more bodies will be found.
The dead recovered SO far re-
ported are:
WALTER WAGGLE.
MRS. WALTER WAGGLE and
CHILD.
The reservoirs burst with q
thunderous roar, and that more
were not killed was due to the
noise made by the surging food
which enabled many families tC
fee to migher ground.
Faces Serious Famine.
Shortly after the waters inun-
dated the buildings in their path
an investigation by officials dis
closed what are believed to be
evidences of the use of dynamite
on the water tanks. The contents
of the reservoirs were lost en-
tirely and the city faces a serious
water famine. The entire sup.
ply of the city was held in the
tanks.
The fire department would be
helpless in case of a blaze and
the board Of health Is taking
steps to prevent the possibility
OF an epidemic because of lack
of water to flush the sewers.
Houses Fall Like Cards.
When the food struck a row
of houses in Its path they col
lapsed like pack of cards
Scores of persons were injured
by falling beams, timbers and
bricks. Mrs. John Maloney, who
is reported dying, was carried sc
yards on floating wreckage. Botf
her legs were broken and she wa.
injured internally.
The best estimates of the dam
age done by the flood Is $500,
900.
