ier Gives Alarm.

Armed posses Of angered farm
ers have surrounded a patch OF
woods near Clinton, Prince
Georges county, ten miles from
Washington and are closing in on
four bandits who at 1890 o'clock
this morning rushed the Clinton
National Bank, beat an aged man
unconscious, threatened the life OF
the cashier, and escaped in high
powered automobile.
The attempted robbery was
carefully planned, and only the
nerve of ]. Frank Dent, the
cashier, prevented the theft of
$4,000, which lay in a cash drawer
before him.
Gives Alarm In Face OF Gun.
While covered with a menacing
automatic from which two shots
had already been fired, Dent pro-
tested there were only a couple
of dollars in the drawer" and at
the same time stepped on button
connecting with a siren alarm on
the roof of the bank building.

polling booth half a mile down the
road.
Two miles up the Indian Head
Pike toward Washington the speed
ing machine suffered broken
transmission rod and was aban-
doned. The bandits took to the
woods and a Gordon was immedi'
ately thrown about II. That they
will not be captured before putting
up a desperate fight Is the general
opinion among their pursuers.
Aged Farmer Hit On Head.
George Simmons, a white-haired
farmer, who was the only other per-
son in the bank besides Dent, was
knocked over the head with the butt
of a revolver after one of the rob
bers had shot at him and missed,
as he had at Dent. Simmons suf'
fered a deep cut at the base OF the
skull.
Four men composed the group OF
desperadoes. Two remained in the
automobile while the other pair en-
tered the bank. The engine was
left running for a swift getaway.
Car Has ID. c. License.
