BANK ROBBERS TAKE REFUGE
IN OZARK FORESTS
Officers Lose All Trace of Bandits
After Long Chase.

Springfield, Mo-, June 23.-Some-
where in the wooded depths of the
Ozark mountains, presumably in
Shannon county, the four automobile
bandits who Thursday blew the safe
of the bank of Waynesville, Mo, and
escaped with $500 are hiding.
Securing the forests and hills in
Shannon and adjacent counties is a
posse of Waynesville and Mountain
Grove officers. Tonight it was re-
ported that no trace of the robbers
had been found.
1t was reported several hours after
the robbery that two Of the four men
had been surrounded and captured in
Wright county, near Mountain Grove.
The pursuers were in sight of the
fleeing safeblowers at that point, but
the fugitives lost the officers in the
mountainous country.
The robbers were more than an
hour blowing the safe, despite the
fact the first charge aroused the citi-
zens. Taking refuge behind trees and
buildings they kept up steady fire
at the bandits with shotguns and re-
volvers. The robbers returned the
fire while on of their party was blow
ing the safe door
Finishing their task they ran to
waiting automobile and fled from the
city. After a 5o-mile chase Sheriff
Lee Baker and posse of citizens
came upon them suddenly at the edge
of Wright county. The bandits were
putting water in the radiator OF their
car. Selling the sack containing the
currency. they fled, leaving behind
them 5000 in silver in the abandoned
car
