ROB KANSAS BANK
Every Dollar in Vault Taken
by Bandits.
Citizens and Gang Stage Gun
Battle.

Uniontown, Kan, March 16.-The
State bank of Uniontown was robbed
early today of practically every dol
lar of cash and securities. The rob-
bers gathered the loot into bags and
escaped northward in a motor car.
Officials of the bank said the loss
probably would amount to about
$4,000.
1t was said no accurate estimate of
the loot could be made until a COM
plete check is finished. The loss is
covered by insurance, the officers said.
The robbers made elaborate plans
for their cleanup. On arriving in
Uniontown, they went first to the tele-
phone office and cut all the wires
there. They warned the operator to
remain quiet or they would dynamite
the exchange building.
Their movements around the bank
were so open that citizens were
aroused. A hastily formed posse
opened fire while the bandits worked
on the vault. The robbers returned
the fire and held off the town folk,
continuing their work on the vault
door.
Part of the gang stood guard while
others scooped gold, silver, liberty
bonds, war savings stamps and other
securities into a sack and retreated TO
q waiting motor car.
Bank officials said it was Impossible
to estimate the loss. but that the rob-
bers got virtually all the valuables IN
the bank vault.
