Trait Daring Robbsr Who
Lost $500 Of s1,4oo Haul.

Georgetown, Minn.-Unmasked and
alone, a bandit entered the State bank
Of Georgetown, shot, the cashier, Peter
Stennes, through the head, and es-
capped with 81 400 cash from the bank IS
vault and counter. Mr.. Stennes is In
a serious condition in st. Luke's hos
pital In Fargo. The robber has not
been captured.
Mr.. Stennes was alone in-the bank
at 4 o'clock in the afternoon, accord
ing to his story, and was working on
the banks books in one corner of the
room when he heard noise at the
gate of the railing. AS Stennes turned
the bandit, shot him, the bullet lodg-
ing in his skull.
Stennes, dazed, was forced to crawl
into the vault, from which the thief
had taken $1,000 in cash. The thief
shut the vault door, but because of
his confusion at the people approach
ing the bank, or of his ignorance of
the vault lock, failed to lock the door.
AS the man hurried out he gathered
up about $500. Stennes opened the
door and crawled out.
A. Pomeroy, in a garage across the
street, saw the bandit leave the rear
door. Pomeroy ran to the bank and
was among the first to reach the
wounded man.
William Voller, butcher, secured
rifle and shot at the bandit as he
was crossing a. cornfield but missed
him. When last seen the bandit was
entering the woods along the Red
river.
Sheriff Mcdonald of Clay county
was Immediately notified and posse
started after the robber. Between
$500 and $500 in cash was found in
the corn field where 1t had been drop
ped by the bandit in his flight. A
posse of about so men was kept
searching the woods In that vicinity
until dark, but no trace Of the man
was found. 49, ,yss
large crowd collected immediate
~ after the shot was fired but the
bandit had made good start toward
the woods. u
Thes,robber is described MS being
about 80 years old, about five feet
eight inches tall and weighing about
$50 pounds He was clean }shaven and
Of rather light complexion.
~ Cashier Retains Consciousness,
No one saw the man enter the bank
but shortly after the shot was heard
he was seen running out of the back
door. Upon Vollers firing after the
fleeing man a crowd soon collected
and gave chase. @ $3.50 a.
The wounded cashier was given i'm
mediate attention, being taken in IN
automobile and rushed to Fargo. At
no time did Stennes lose conscious
ness and as soon as he had partially
recovered from the shock it was de-
ciled to operate to locate the bullet.
The bullet entered the temple, frac-
turing the skull, but failed to pene-
trate the brain. Had the bullet pene-
trated fraction Of an inch farther
Stennes would have met instant
death, it was declared.

"Very likely" he replied
lis there any danger of a state
wide strike Ia the event the demand

Besides asking for the woriin
agreement, which means union recof

miners ask an increase of $3.50 a da
for day work and 20 per cent Ia

of cleaning shafts Of rock, debris an
