LONE BANDIT ROBS
CANADIAN BANK OF

Holds Up Officials, Shoots and Kills
Manager and Escapes With
Loot in Stolen Auto
mobile

Plum coulee. Manitoba. December IA
lone masked man this afternoon held up
the Bank of Montreal branch here, stole
$4,000 in currency. shot and killed the
bank manager, II. M. Arnold, and es-
capped in a stolen automobile. Mounted
police and posse of citizens followed the
automobile trail to the hills, not great
distance from this town, and are be-
lieved to have surrounded him on the
wooded bluffs
The masked man first appeared at a
garage, where at the point of a revolver
he forced the garage keeper to supply him
with a powerful automobile. The bandit
drove the machine to the rear door of
the bank.
Arnold was alone, other employees of
the bank not having returned from lunch.
The bank manager submitted while the
robber took several pockets of money but
attempted to follow as the latter entered
the automobile. Then the bandit turned
and shot Arnold.
School children who witnessed the rob-
bers escape gave the alarm.

his shouts he awakened the men.
The top floor was one large room filled
with cots and hunks. On the fourth floor
where the loss of life was heaviest there
We're 80 little rooms with TWO cots in
each.
A hallway ran through the center. Al
most all of those occupying rooms in
front of the building perished. The men
in the rear rooms opening on the fire
escape had locked the doors when they
went to bed and those in front were un-
able to reach the fire escape.
When the firemen arrived flames were
shooting 20 feet in the air from windows
in the fourth and fifth floors. On fire
escape and roof throng of panie-striken
men struggled. Despite shouts of assur-
ance from below three men jumped from
the top. Two were killed. The third
had wrapped a mattress about himself
and escaped with a few bruises in a
scmersault
Life nets were stretched and many men
were rescued In this manner. Others
were taken down ladders with the flames
sweeping about them. The intense heat
soon drove the firemen from their lad
ders and made it necessary to fight the
fire from the street and from the ele-
waited railway structure.
The fire was in the heart of a crowded
tenement district Scores of excited for
eigners crowded about the burning build
ing and impeded the firemen in their
work.

a statement of facts from the union and
also one from the employers These state

situation, it had been expected that the
union would vote to permit drivers,
