tempting to arrest Bullock at his home
In Lawrence. Pringle went to the door
and called for Bullock. The answer
was a rain of bullets. He died in a
few days.
Details of HoIdup.
Bullock disappeared and, despite the
fact $500 was offered for information
as to his whereabouts, was not seen
until yesterday, when he and Mckay
entered the bank. They forced all the
men present to line up, and were grab
bing all the money in sight when Fred
Starr. the assistant cashier, entered.
The robbers shot him through the jaw
and ran out the back door, fleeing to-
wards the hills west of town.
Harry Wilson, son of e. E. Wilson,
the cashier, dashed through the front
door and into a store nearby, where
there were six or eight men. Each
man grabbed a weapon and started in
pursuit.
In attempting to swim the Kaw river
the boys lost ground and a few min
utes later the posse was at their
heels. Mckay surrendered, but Bull
lock, wrenching the revolvers from his
partners hands, sped on into a patch
of wood.
Hides and Shoots Self.
John Miller, farmer, stepped into
Bullock's path, and the boy fired. His
shot missed Miller. and the posse, see
ing the youth was ready to shoot, fired
a score of shots at him. Bullock re-
turned the fire.
Then the robber lodged behind a
tree aDd disappeared. A few minutes
later there YVES a revolver shot. The
pcsse ran up and found the bandit IN
conscious with a bullet through hi
left temple. The ball passed entirely
through his head.
