BANDITS ROB MINT
OF $500, 900 IN CASH
Guard Killed by Robbers Who
Take Large Sum from Dem
yer Mint Messengers.

Denver, Dec. IS. - An impulse to
fire a final volley at the guards of
the mint and federal reserve guards
may have cost the youthful bandit
who directed the 5000, 900 robbery
his life, according to Peter Kiendin-a
ger, one of the mint guards.
When the robbers turned into
Civic Center, less than a half block
from the mint the leader poised on
the running board of the car, emp
tied his revolver at the guards. Wear
ing light overcoat, his figure stood
out, clearly against the background
Of the drawn side curtains. A bull
let from my gun or one Of the other
mint guards struck him. The bandit
swayed and collapsed. An automo-
bile door opened and he was pulled
inside the car which sped on. / be-
lieve he was the man who shot
Charles Linton.
''The whole affair took less than
a minute" Kiendinger said. ''The
robbers used a Buick touring car.
The leader was in the seat with the
driver. He carried a revolver. One.
of the men in the tonneau had ri
f1e, the others sawed-off shot-guns."
Miss Catherine Feist, waitress
in the Mint Restaurant, was en-
phatic thatsthe bandits within the
car we're assisted by two other men,
who hid behind telephone poles as
the car drew UP alongside the FEEDER
al Reserve Bank automobile and who
joined in shooting at the guards as
the leader leaped from the machine
and shot Linton and then started to
seize the money from the other
guards. She is unable to tell the
police whether the two helpers en-
tered the car before it sped away.
Kiendinger and Thomas Hurd, an
other guard, declared that four men
took part in the robbery, while Louis
Abb, chemist, insists that there
were five men. He likewise declared
he believed he would be able to l.
IDENTIFY tn man who stood at the
corner of Cherokee and Colfax ave.
nue. and signaled the robbers. This
man, he said, did not get into the
bandit car after the robbery, but
walked away.

Crime on Increase in Mississippi.


Jackson. Miss, Dec. IS. - That
crime is somewhat on the increase
in Mississippi is evidenced by fig-
ures taken from the supreme court
criminal docket showing that 189
appeal cases have been brought be-
fore that tribunal during 1922, as
against 149 for the year 1921.
II The crime of murder, however,
seems to be on the decrease. In 1921
The supreme court reviewed A MUIR
der and 10 manslaughter cases. Dur
ing the current year it has handled
29 murder and manslaughter cases.
The heaviest increase is shown in
liquor law violations, 27 appeals
having been filed in 1921 as COM
pared with 81 for 1922. In some
quraters this may be interpreted as
an actual increase of liquor law vio-
lations, but as matter of fact it
merely denotes a more vigorous
character of liquor law enforcement,
and an awakening among county
sheriffs and constables, that it is as
much their duty as it is that of Fed
eral officers to see that the statutes
against liquor are enforced
There has been very little change
in the record for miscellaneous
crimes. such as robbery, burglary.
assault, etc., the number of appeals
for 1922 being 70 as compared with
'6S for 1921.
OF the 149 cases appealed in 1921
the supreme court affirmed IL and
reversed 81. OF the 189 apepals filed
this year the court has affirmed 124,
reversed As, and has 20 pending.
1t is interesting to note that the
number of reversals in murder cases
is identically the same. being eight
for each of the years named.

BOY SCOUT NEWS

Complimenting the Boy Scout move
ment for its influence in developing
character. Rev. James A. Freeman,
rector Of Epiphany Church, delivered
stirring address at the February
meeting of the organization Tuesday
night. =
"One Of the grave dangers of our
time" said pr. Freeman, "is the ten
dency to stratification. class distinc-
! tion and segregation Of different
elements of our social life. This ten
dency leads straight to trouble. Any
agency that can sanely help to bring
about the unification of mankind, and
the realization of our common de-
pendence and brotherhood. deserves
the hearty cooperation of all good
citizens"
DR.. Freeman commended scouting
in the strongest terms for the firm
foundation 1t is laying to this end.
The subject for the round-table dis
cussion was "How to Interest Scouts
In the Passing of Tests" Under the
leadership of Maj. Moorman. presi-
dent of the Scoutmasters' Club. about
twenty scoutmasters participated in
the discussion. The meeting was one
