Tulsa, Okla, Oct. 16.-After a pur-
suit that extended thru the entire
night and carried possemen thru four
Oklahoma counties. into Kansas and
back again thru a wild and broken
section of this state. four bank robbers
who late yesterday afternoon held up
and robbed the bank of Alluwe, AL
luwe, Okla, of $4,000 in silver and
currency and $4,000 worth of liberty
bonds, were successful in eluding their
pursuers.
Entering the bank at s:15 o'clock
yesterday afternoon a lone bandit COW
cred the cashier. a woman bookkeeper
and customer with a revolver, order
ing the cashier to place all the bank s
funds in a canvas sack. In front of
the bank a heavy touring car stood,
engine running and a driver at the
wheel.
Posse in Close Pursuit.
Obtaining the money the bandit ran
to the car, throwing the money into
the front seat and climbed into the
rear seat with his companions, who
had been left as lookouts. Travelling
at terrific rate of speed the bandit
car shot north out of Alluwe towards
Kansas.
Fifteen minutes after the robbery a
posse of fifty men were in pursuit.
Three miles north of Alluwe, Frank
Beau, 6-year-old son of a prominent
farmer, ran into the middle of the
state highway and was killed by the
possemen's car.
Trailing the bandits into Edna,
Kan, at midnight, the man hunters
were led back into Oklahoma, down
thru Mayes county to the western
boundary where broken and hilly
country afforded the robbers safe re-
treat. 1t was in this vicinity section
that James Boyes and the Hart gang
were able to evade arrest for years.

WASHBURN READY
TchRbods' First Game Draws
Big Crowd.
Largest Football Attendance
/ Since X. e. Game.

Excitement was high at Washburn
field this afternoon as the hour ap-
preached for the clash with Ottawa.
The Ichabods' first game of the
season at home drew a large crowd
and the bleachers were full at 8
o'clock today. The Washburn band
of thirty-five pieces furnished "gin-
gerry" music and the fans exhibited no
lack of pep. 1t was the largest crowd
since the Washburn-K. U. game here
last year.
The dope favored the Blue slightly
in today's game. Coach Ream has
been working his men out regularly
and they were in the best of con-
dition in spite of the awful battles
with Kansas University and Nebraska.
Coach Brannan, of Ottawa, how
ever, called attention to the condition
of his own men and predicted a fight
to a standstill altho the Ichabod team
outweighed the visitors. Two all-state
men and a fine kicker were brought
by Brannan to Topeka.
The field was in good shape and
dope pointed to a good game.
Officials of today's game are Leslie
Edmonds, referee; DIR. Pete He'll UNI
pire, and Alfred Hill, linesman.
