GANG SEXES TOWN
AND BLASTS BANK
Bandits Escape With Cash
and Bonds After Battle
in Street.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LIzTON, Ind, October l3.-Two au-
tomobile loads of bandits early today
isolated this town from communication,
wrecked the State Bank Building with
dozen blasts of nitroglycerine, shot
up the town and escaped with cash and
negotiable securities.
Estimates of the loot were varied.
George Huber, cashier placed the total
amount in cash and securities at ap-
proXimately $4,000.
Marion Bailey, 70, president of the
bank, who lives across the street from
the institution. and who was awakened
by the explosives, engaged in gun
fight with bandit stationed in front
of the bank.
The latter. crouched behind a barri-
cade of benches, emptied several revolt
vers at the Bailey home. One of the
bullets barely missed James Young
brother-in-law of Bailey, who was Sleep
ing in an upstairs room.
The robbers had timed the attack
with the passage of freight train
through here, starting with few low
toned blasts. After they found resi-
dents had been awakened they speeded
up their blasting of the safe, grabbed
volleys in every direction.
The blasting began at l AS am. and
lasted until ais am. A double time
lock on the safe was knocked off and
the heavy safe doors were blown through
a partition. The outside wall at the
back of the building also was blown
out
The robbers obtained a number of
hammers, crowbars and tarpaulins from
the Big -Four Railroad sheds and en-
tered the bank through a rear window.
Gables at the telephone exchange
were severed. Louis Pounds, Hendricks
County sheriff, and Vernon Shields of
the State Crime Bureau came to Lizton
to investigate the robbery.
The banks loss was protected by An
surance. Lizton is midway between
indianapolis and Charlottesville.
Lizton has population of about 200.
Several residents, unable to communi-
cate with authorities, remained in their
homes rather than face the bullets of
the bandits.
