MILFORD MEN FOIL BANDITS
Citizens of Town Near Camp Funston
Exchange Shots With Gang
for Four Hours.

A battle between bank robbers and
the citizens of Milford lasted four
hours early the other morning before
the bandits, were routed from the
spoils. About $4,000 was in the bank
according to the cashier, but this was
not taken. They made their escape
on a handcar, but later took refuge in
a motor car, which they found along
the route.
Trucks loaded with soldiers were
sent in pursuit by Colonel George H.
McMaster, provost marshal, and Lieu
tenant Jerry Dugan, his assistant, of
Camp Funston.
An explosion was heard about mid
night by Charles Say, night telephone
operator at Milford. Latter he saw
three men crouching near the door of
the State bank. He Immediately
spread the alarm. The second explo-
sion occurred just as the citizens an
swering the alarm approached the
bank. They were armed with pistols
and shotguns. One of the robbers
fired through plate glass window and
this was followed by a shot from an
other one of the band. The third ban
dit tempered with the lock. Several
charges of explosives were fired by
one of the men while his companions
held off the crowd.
This continued until 4 o'clock, when
the men made their escape through a
rear door of the bank and fled to the
Union Pacific railroad tracks and
seized a handcar and soon afterward
left it for the motor car.
Surrounding towns reported that a
large black motor car without a Ii
cense had passed through

And courtesy, as we look upon 1t,
is nothing more than good manners.
Possibly we put very broad
definition on what good manners
should stand for in business. One
of the main essentials, however, is
that customers should receive the
most courteous attention.
Now, since we are all human and
sometimes affected by surroundings
or remarks, it is only natural that
our standard of courtesy might be
lowered in one or two instances.
So if ever an occasion arises where
you feel you haven't received the
courteous attention due you by this
store we shall deem it a personal
avor if you will advise us of same.
