CASHIER CAPTURES BANDITS
Oklahoma Official, After Being Bound,
Intercepts and Shoots Robbers
and Receivers $4,000.

Grant, Okla, Dec 28.-After having
been thrown into the bank vault with
his hands tied by two youths who
robbed the Bank of Grant of $4,000,
Cashier Webb slipped out Of his bonds,
intercepted the bandits before they
got out of town, and shot and badly
wounded both of them when they re-
fused to surrender.
The robbers, whose names the sher-
ifs officers gave as Claude Jones, %,
and Arthur Mcfarland, II, were TAX
en- to Jail at Hugo. Physicians said
Jones probably would die.
A customer who was in the bank
when the robbers entered was driven
with the cashier into the vault, the
door of which the youths could not
lock through their ignorance of the
time lock. Webb loosened his bonds
as soon as the robbers had left the
building, and obtained a repeating
shotgun overlooked by the bandits.
Taking a short cut to the railroad sta
ton, Webb concealed himself behind
a pile of ties. AS the bandits ap-
preached, Webb ordered them to put
up their hands.
They failed to obey and the cashier
opened fire. The money was recov-
cred.

In contrast to this development of

called coast defense boats will be

twenty-five smaller submarines are
included in the administration pro
gram for this year, at an estimated
cost of between 100000 and 100000
each.
Virtually all sea-going flag officers
