AS first number on the program,
Miss Mary Grower gave the saluta-
tory in a most pleasing way, her
subject for the evening being The
Stony Way. : Picturing herself as
a traveller on life's highway, she
gave a vivid description OF the two
roads, the one easy and smooth, the
other rough and stony. Then, at

The Pulaskian., 1915-08-27

The Bank of Amity was robbed by two masked men, the amount taken being sl, 200 At the appointed hour they went cooly into the bank and commanded Assistant Cashier Fincher to get iuto the vault, which he did, and was shut in. The vault had a burglar alarm connection from within which communicated with the general store of W. c. Hays, who is the banks president.
 The residents exchanged several shots with the bold marauders, but no one was struck.
 The men had been in Amity all day talking horse trades. They frequented the stores and told inquirers that they were cowboys from Oklahoma. They were of disreputable appearance and seemed anxious to create the impress sion that they were bad men" for they frequently exhibited their guns.
 In the meantime, MT. Fineher, in the bank vault, was frantilly pushing the burglar alarm button. A crowd quickly gathered and as the men start ed to ride away, two shots were fired from the crowd. The robbers respond ed with two shots fired in the air and galloped away.
