wheat was a splendid lot of grain
and took the Blue Ribbon easily. The

Important Happenings Of the

LONE oespeRAoo Roes BANK
Shoots at Cashier Dahl Barely
missins.-Escapes with
$t,075.

Great Falls. Montana. One
lone robber, wearing a black mask
which completely hid his features.
held up three men in the First State
bank OF Hedges, Mont. and secured
$l,015, after putting a bullet within
an inch of John Dahls head. Dahl is
bookkeeper In the bank. Cashier
Peterson of the bank is also United
States land commissioner and was
going over the proof of claim by
homesteader in room adjoining
the bank when the robber entered the
bank. Peterson opened the door and
the robber showed the muzzles OF .
couple OF revolvers under his nose.
Peterson threw up his hands as d.
rected. Then the homesteader threw
up his hands and Dahl. who was at
his desk. made a move as II to reach
for gun. There was a report and a
bullet whiZzed within an inch OF
Dahrs ear. He threw up his hands.
With the three men holding up their
hands the robber told Dahl TO step
lively. open the money drawer and
hand out its contents. Dahl obeyed.
Then. playing his revolver In semi
circles, the robber backed from tho
door. ran TO horse he had left stand.
ing tied to post. cut the strap hold
ing the horse, swung into the saddle
and galloped away over the hills.
The shot which had been fired at
Dahl had aroused the town. and by
the time the robber started away
there were dozen men around the
bank. Some of them saw the bandit
flying away on horseback and took
shots at him. but did not hit him. A
posse was organized at once and start
ed in pursuit with Sheriff Raider In
command
The robber had such a start that the
posse gave up hope of catching him
last night and dropped behind when
the officers found IL would be hope
less chase. They sent word to all sur.
rounding towns to be on the outlook
for the bandit.
Owing to the fact that the robber
wore mask no one got a description
of his features. He was cool and coll
lected while robbing the bank and
manifested no uneasiness at any time,
while exchanging yolleys with tho
