to Texas and a fleet of war vessels to

The orders flashed from the war de-
partment last night arr angling for an i'm

frankly admitted their lack of knowledge
of it, Members of the general staff. the
president and the cabinet only, knew

army was explained this morning. IL

GREAT FALLS, Mont. July 81
Three masked men robbed the first
National bank of Harlem about noon
today but the man who had the booty
in his possession was killed and the
money recovered. The other two

behind the counter and filled a sack
with gold and currency from the
counter, the total amounting to $10,-
900.
One of the robbers accidentally fired
his revolver. The report brought
Marshal Taswell to the back door of
the bank. AS he entered one of the
robbers fired at him and in turn the
marshal fired killing the man who
was just going out with the money.
The other two ran from the build
ing and mounting their horses rode
away at full speed. Within a few
minutes two automobiles loaded with
armed men started in. pursuit. Other
posses have joined the chase.
The country near Harlem for
merly was rendezvous of the Cur
ry gang of robbers and it is conject-
ured the bank robbers are members
of the old gang. In that event it is
probable it will be hard to locate
them, as they are familiar with the
country and the hiding places in the
mountains.
