Ballou and l.. l.. Barney, who. Com
anche county officers say have con-
fessed to the attempted robbery Of
the First State Bank here Tuesday,
which was followed by an exciting
chase over Comanche county hills
and resulted in the wounding of
Merle Conner of Cache, one of the
pursuers. We're captured this morning
in the Wichita mountains, 10 miles
from here.
George Kalbfleisch cashier of the
bank, today identified the men as
being the alleged outlaws.
The capture was effected after
Frank Rush, government forester,
had informed members of the posse
which was trailing the men, that he
had seen two men last night travelling
a seldom used mountain road in a
covered wagon. Taking up the trail
OF the wagon, the posse soon ran
down the alleged would-be robbers.
The men are being held in the
Comanche county jail.
