WulIe county OlUCeTS alTedQy nave | made three arrests and fourth is probable in tracking the two men who completed daylight hold-up of the Bank of El Paso, at Fl Paso, and escaped before Cashier Robert Kent could extricate himself from thu vault and give the alarm, Syd and Frank Quattlebaum and a relation named Stone, the trio under arrest, and John Quattlebaum, brother of the first two, and suspected by officers as being the bands leader, were being sought in the neighborhood of Floyd, 12 miles distant from Fl Paso, accord ing to the last report from there. A strong case, it is said, has been de veloped against the men, although they deny any knowledge of the rob- bery.
 Bloodhounds owned by Robert King of Conway were used in tracking the men. The dogs easily picked up the trail at the bank and followed out side of Fl Paso, where the men changed from buggy to horseback. A second stop was made for lunch, and officers say that at this point a scrap of paper was found, upon which a division of the stolen money had been computed.
 Syd Quattlebaum was the first ar rested. A false mustache, tallying with Cashier Rents description of the one worn by the taller of the robbers, is said to have been found at the Quattlebaum home. Frank Quattle- baum and Stone were arrested later in the day on the road between Fl Paso and Floyd They were turned over to White county officers.
 Search of the three failed to reveal S2,000 stolen from the bank, when Kent was forced to surrender it's funds and be locked in the vault. Eff teen cents was found at the spot where the men stopped for lunch. The arrest of John Quattlebaum is ex- pected to reveal some trace of the missing funds. Kent, 1t is said, posi- lively identified the man named Stone as one of the two in the hold up.
