WAVE Of BAND|TRY

Dozen Small Cities Raided by
Armed Gangs-HoId-Ups
E Increase in Chicago.
Special Dispa tch to The Star.

SPECIAL DlSp0tCn 10 Inc StAE.
CHICAGO. November IA wave
Of banditry. has hit the middle west,
with acts reminiscent of the notori-
Gus James and Dalton gangs.
Although the greater number of
crimes in the past month or six weeks
have been staged in Chicago, the
scenes of violence have been dupli-
Gated in a dozen or more small cities
and towns throughout this section.
extending east into Indiana and into
the northwestern states as far as
South Dakota.
In almost every instance it is a
case of stick up and GO" Riding
in swift motor cars, the bandits al
most invariably have gotten away
clean with their hauls.
In the past four days bandit gangs
have ridden into Groton, S. D.; Kloss-
ner, Mimi: Mabel, Mimi; Spencer,
In d. .;Edwardsport, Ind, and similar
towns. robbed from two to dozen
capped leaving few. if any, clues
The Spencer case early Tuesday
was particularly sensational. The
bandits drove into the quiet little
town, cut off the electric lights and
phones, and to the continual barking
of revolver and rifle shots blew the
exchange bank vaults, robbed tills
in a number of other establishme nts
and fed after completely terrorizing
the town for hours.
This band is believed to be the
same one that dynamited the vaults
of the First National Bank Of Oak
land. Ill, some weeks ago and escaped
with more than $4,000 in liberty
bonds and other securities. Ten or
fifteen men were in the gang
A rough estimate places the losses
in recent robberies throughout this
section of 100000, not including the
sums taken in countless street hold
ups. Chicago alone had 109 of these
street robberies in October, and has
had thirty-nine in the first ten days
OF November.
Housebreaking in Chicago, police
officials said today, is getting to be
a lost art, but street hold-ups are
increasing with alarming speed In
the past week two girls, young but
precoctous beyond their years, have
been taken with youthful bandits.
One of them admitted, after several
days of questioning. that her man
had shot to death watchman who
discovered her jimmying a door The
other confessed that she had par
ticipated with a gang of six youths
in more than 100 stick-ups in the
past two months.
AS a result of the growth of such
crimes in Chicago two dozen addi-
tional f1ivver squads. armed solely
with sawed-off shotguns. are patrol
ling the north. south aid west side
district nightly. Police hief Collins
said the patrols would De continued

OF New York Athletic Club by score
OF 81 10 10. All OF these events took

the Middies established lead OF
about 6 feet, which varied from that
figure TO feet until the final stretch
was entered. In that lap. Kannak-

Jellife, Yale's crack sprinter. They
got off practically on even terms,
and the finish was so close. that il
