MONDAY NIGHTS ROBBERY
Bold Bandits in Night Raid on Monroe County Bank, Unsuccessful in
 Obtaining Big Booty.

He was Bates J. Nelson, a trav- cling salesman for the Cudahy Packing Co.,, with headquarters here. With sereral other guests of Hotel Rusher, he had been aroused by the severe storm. and had gone out on the street. When the bandits threw their guns in his face and demanded that he throw up his hands. he gave the alarm and they shot him and striking him Tn the forehead with a revolver soon had him laid out in the picture show lobby with the other two men, but the shot had given the alarm. Night Watchman Holbrook fired the contents of his pistol at the burglars from the street in front of Browns Shoe Store and soon the noise of the battle sounded like a battle on the west front Tn Flanders. The robbers were being fired at from the plaza and from north, east and west and they answered with a solid fire which served them as barrage cover while they es- capped.
 One of the six bandits is thought to have been seriously wounded, as the men being held by them heard one of them ex- claim, John has been shot and we must get away" The wound- ed man fell along side of their wounded prisoner. Nelson, and exclaimed as he fell, They've got me and I believe Pm shot in the guts. Soon after this, the firing ceased and the bandits made a "get away" carrying their wounded pail in their arms as they ran, so Nelson says.
 The prisoners crawled out and soon the wounded man Nelson was taken by friends to the hos pital where careful surgical at- tention was given him.
 Armed posses were organized and went in search for the rob- bers but found no trace of the route they had taken until Tues

ROAD ENTHUSIASTS

Court Decides in Favor of the Road Taxing District. Big Delegation Cele-

Judge Elliott of Pine Bluff, on Monday, gave out his decision in the Brinkley Road Case, wherein it was sought to stop the building of the roads in suits brought against the district by the railroad corporations and by a few individual citizens, John Gazzola and others.
 The court overuled the motion of the railroad lawyers asking for non-suit and ruled that the Brinkley Road Improvement Dis trict No. l was legally formed; that the assessments were equit- able and the cases were dismiss ed for want of equity.

BIG CROWDS RE
 AMENDING SERVICES
Brinkleyi.es are Respond ing We'll to the Union Religious Drive Now
 Being Made in
 Brinkley.

The union revival which began on Sunday is now in full sway and large crowds are in at- tendance at every nights ser vice with a nice crowd at the 10 o'clock service in the morning.
 The meeting is being conduct ed by Rev. Fletcher Parrish of Birmingham, Ala, and who IS a most earnest and eloquent speak CT.
 The Methodist pastor l.. E. Mann, is assisting in the pulpit and the Presbyterian pastor, Rev. w. D. Parrish, is in charge of the music.
 Members of all the Brinkley churches are in attendance and indications point to a splendid revival.
 The meeting as orlglnally planned will change on Sunday morning from the Methodist to the Presbyterian church and Will continue there the next week and in case the Baptist pastor arrives and it is desired, will probably move next there week.
 The splendid interest and at- tendance at the revival shows that there are those in Brinkley who realize that our city's great est need is for a real sweeping revival of Christian religion and that they are anxious to see Il come.
 May our people meet the de maf1tis Sof this "drive" in the same splendid way they have met every other.
The Brinkley argus., 1918-04-19

The boldest depreciation and most thrilling experience that Brinkley has had in many years was the bank robbery of Mon- day night last when six bold bandits attempted to blow open the money vault of Monroe Coun- ty Bank,
 The night was dark and stormy and an ideal night for success fully carrying out their plans. The robbery was going on during the very worst part of the storm and the four or five explositions were heard all over town, tho were taken to be a part of the storm which was at it's worst just after 2 o'clock and but for its severity the crime would no doubt have resulted more suc-
 
 cessful for the robbers.
 The great down pour of rain caused Jake Lamm to leave his home on the northside and start to his store to protect his stock against a leaky roof. He was startled as he passed the bank to see the door broken. Just at this moment, three heavily armed men threw big guns in his face and rushed Jake into the picture show lobby, forcing hlm down with his face flat on the floor, where he was forced to remain under threats of hav- ing his head blown off if he ut- tered a word or moved muscle. But before laying him down the bandits went thro' Jake's pock- cts and relieved him of about S2OO in cash which by accident lie had on his person.
 Along came C. J. Willis, sales man of the Goldman Company Store, who was also en route to look after a leaky roof. Willis was relieved of about 800 in cash and given a place along the side of Jake in the moving pie ture lobby and had no trouble in believing that the robbers meant it when they threatened to shoot him if he moved. The robbers stood over them all the time.
 Another pedestrian came by.
