Hunting Bank Robbers With Airplanes Newest Thriller West of the Missouri;
 How Flier Posses Picked Up the Trail

Omaha, Neb., Oct. 4.-Hunting bank robbers with an airplane is the newest thriller in the trans Missouri country.
 The airplane chase took place just west of Omaha last week Three Well-dressed young men held up and robbed the Citizens State bank in Ralston, Neb., suburb of Omaha, at 1l:50 a. m.
 Robbed the Citizens State bank in four minutes. When they emerged they had picked up the change" roll of the bank and while they had 4000 bills, they only had $4OO0. They overlooked bag of $3O,OOO. They fled in an automobile.
 Within 10 minutes a sheriff's posse from Omaha was on the trial. From the Nebraska Bankers association office in Omaha the telephone quick ly notified every peace officer in half dozen counties. All bridges and ferries acros sthe Platte and the Missouri rivers were instructed to be on the lookout.
 Two airplanes were to give an ex- hibition flight at Fremont, 50 miles from Ralston. The aviators were notified and took the air. Off towarcs the southwest, speeding towards the Platte river, they saw machine that was travelling at an enormous rate of speed. From towards Omaha they saw other automobile coming, but none making the speed of the ad- vance car.
 Officers Are Sighted
 On another road they spied a pur- pie racing car filled with officers. But the purple car was on the wrong road. Downward swept one of the airplens. The other remained aloft to watch the bandit car. As close to the purple racer as he dared came the aviator He leaned over the side of his car and signaled to the men the direction the racer should go He told them, by signs of cross road by which they could get to the other road upon which the bandit car was speeding. Then the aviator sailed aloft to keep the bandit car in sight.
 The purple car changed it's direc- tion. Other cars filled with officers were signaled in a like manner One of the aviators speeding away to- wards Lincoln, in advance of the bandits, to warn officers who were coming from that direction how to go to cut off the fight of the bandits.

Narrowly missed being hit by train' section hands of the Burlington railroad re- ported from the little town of Chalco. Purple racer shot over crossing here" came the report 15 minutes lat CT from the same source.
 High up in the air. leading the way, was the airplane. Whenever the robbers car turned, the aviator sig naled to the purple racer and the cars which were following. The second aviator was coming up from the west. Beneath him were half a dozen cars filled with armed men.
 Sheriff Clark from Omaha had two automobiles loads of deputies in the race. Gus Hvers, state agent, from Lincoln had three loads of men. The Omaha city police sent II men in three automobiles. Sheriffs from Sarpy Cass and Dodge counties were out. Five hundred farmers, warned hv telephone. took their guns and their automobiles and went bandit hunting.
 A wheel of the bandit car broke The robbers abandoned the broken car and took to the cornfieds. They were in the Platte valley where the corn is 10 feet high this year. The cornfield was four miles square with out break.
 Hiding Place Sienaled. The aviators signalled the officers what had taken place. In five minutes Sheriffs and Deputies were in the scene. The aviators continued their assistance. They flew back and forth across the cornfield.
 At nightfall the aviators were forced to discontinue their efforts. A heavy rainstorm came on and many of the volunteer bandit hunters abandoned the chase and went home. Sixty-five automobiles remained. All night these machines and their driv- CTS natrol'ed the road around the cornfield. With the aid of search lights and officers tried to keep the road lighted all night. But at some time during the nipht the bandits slipped through the cordon and escaped.
