Bank Robbery Was Apprehend.
ed at Utica Friday Morning.,

The second one Of the men who
attempted to rob the bank at Kaylor
Thursday morning was arrested at
Utica Friday morning, and the third
man is still at large. though in a
wounded condition.
Sheriff Plotner came Friday night
from Scotland after landing the sec
ond man in the Jail at that place. Mr..
Plotner was called to the scene of the
robbery and to bring the states
bloodhound along to track the rob
bers. He left Mitchell at 4 O'Clock
Thursday morning by team and drove
part Of the way, being met by an
auto and conveyed the rest of the
distance much faster. Mr.. Plotner
said that when he got there with the
hound some 200 or 800 people had
tracked all over the ground and that
it was impossible for the hound to
secure anything of a scent, and that
the dog was not used to any extent
in tracking the men.

Scotland, having first cut the tele-
phone wires to prevent any connec-
ton with the authorities at that place.
They were circumvented,, however,
by Cashier Cartwright going to a
farm residence near by and telephon-
ing from there and stating that the
robbers were driving in that direc-
ton. The officers boarded a freight
that was going north and when they
got out to Scotland Junction they saw
three men hiding by the fence, and
it was evidently the intention of the
robbers to board the train and thus
cover their tracks by going in the
opposite direction.
When the robbers apprehended the
approach Of the officers they opened
fire on them, and the officers retaliat-
ed. One Of the. robbers was shot and
fell to the ground. One, of the Off
GERS was left to take care of him and
the three started after the two rob-
bers. While the ace continued a
fusilade of shots vas exchanged be-
tween the pursuers and the pursued.
Finally one Of the robbers threw up
his hands and fell. When the officers
came up to him they examined the
robber carefully and saw that he was
in no condition to get away, and left
him lying on the ground, with the
expectation of returning and picking
him up later. The fleeing robber took
advantage of the short stop by get
ting farther away from his pursuers.
and when they took up the chase
again he had made good his escape.
The wounded robber was not hurt 30
severely as the officers thought and
when they returned to the spot he
had escaped.
The search was kept up Thursday
all day and information was secured
that one of the robbers had been seen
in the vicinity of Napa, and Lester
vile. Sheriff Plotner and his auto
driver were then the only ones in
pursuit. but we're unable to locate
the man In the vicinity where it was
said he had been seen. Mr.. Plotner
continued on to Yankton in the even
ing when 1t commenced to rain.
While passing through Utica MI.
Plotner gave the marshal of that
place a good description of the rob-
Der. When the sheriff was at Yank-
ton Friday morning he received a
telephone message from the marshall
at Utica that one of the robbers was
eating at his restaurant. The sheriff
told the marshall to hold the fellow,
and he started by auto at once for
Utica. He took charge of the robber
and went on to Scotland with him
and placed him in Jail.
The wounded robber. who is still at
large, it is thought will be appre-
hended shortly.
The man arrested at Utica tried
to give a straight story of where he
had been, stating that he came from
Sioux City, that he was a timer and
had applied for work at Yankton,
which, however, was soon disproved
later by his W statement.
