indianapolis were guests at the
hotel. Robertson is the father-in-
law of Taylor E. Groninger, Indi-
annapolis attorney. They were awak-
ened by first shots, and ran to safe
ty in the rear of the hotel.
When the bandits descended on
the town, they shot out all street
lights in the business section, and,
aided by darkness, reached the bank
undetected
The first blast, according to Miss
Morgan, sounded at 2:15. A few
minutes later, townsmen had COL
lected in the garage facing the bank.
Bandit guards engaged them in
gunfire while the bandits on the in
side of the bank set off six other
blasts.
Damage About $4,000
Damage to the building and fur
nishings was estimated at from
$4,000 to $4,000.
officers are @. w. Deer, president;
Theodore M. Johnson, cashier, and
T. F. Banta, assistant cashier.
George Slavens, Waveland mail
carrier, was one of the first towns
men to reach the bank. He was
awakened by his wife as bandits
fired several shots at street lights.
SlavenS got out of bed and looked
out of the window, in time to see
the first blast in the bank.
Aiming himself with rifle and
As caliber revolver, he ran to-
ward to bank, and seeing the
bandit guards, ran back to rouse
neighbors.
Fired on by Bandits
Among these was Fred McNutt,
postmaster.
Together, the four approached
the bank and were met with shots.
They ran across the street to the
garage.
Slavens stationed himself near
the door facing the bank. AS he
fired a volley at guards on either
side of the bank, a rain of ma
chine gun bullets splattered around
the door. One bullet disloged a
splinter, which pierced Slavens'
hand.
After nearly an hour, the bandits
fled through the rear Of the bank
toward the waiting automobiles. 1t
was then that they passed World as
he chung to the top of the telephone
pole.
Nelson Miles, living nearly a half
mile from the bank, said he was
awakened about 2 a. m. by the
barking Of his dog, Trouble"
Ordered Into House
Miles ran from the house in time
to see one Of the bandits clipping
the telephone wires. Occupants of
one of the bandits cars ordered
Miles back into the house.
Miles obeyed the order but seized
a revolver and returned to the
street. BY this time, the bandit had
driven toward the bank.
Miles aroused his son, Norman,
VIII oalso armed himself. Together
the two walked toward the bank.
A blast then was sounded.
Avery Fuller, living near the bank,
heard the blast and revolver shots,
and ran from the house, firing at
the raiders.

Riding in two automobile,
the gang descended on the
town, jimmied the door of the
bank and set off seven dyna-
mite charges, which awak-
ened the entire populace.
The blasts wrecked a large vault
and shattered windows in the
bank and neighboring buildings.
Raiders failed to blow open the
strong box, and obtained only few
hundred dollars in stamps and sew
eral valuable papers, T. H. john
son, president, said.
Use Sub-Machine Gun
Armed with sub-machine gun,
one bandit was stationed near the
front of the bank in a courtway be-
tween the institution and the Cuppy
hotel.
While three of the raiders broke
into the bank and set off the dyna-
mite blasts, two other bandits and
the machine gun operators re-
manned on guard outside.
Miss Ruth Morgan, night tele-
phone operator, first learned Of the
raid when bandits cut the telephone
wires. She notified Howard Worl,
manager.
Worl then notified several neigh
borS, who armed themselves and
ran to the bank, only to be met
with a fusillade Of bullets from the
sub-machine gun.
Shots Are Exchanged
The possemen took shelter in a
garage across the street from the
bank, and exchanged nearly two
hundred shots with the raiders be-
fore the outlaws escaped.
First word of the robbery leaked
to the outside world when Worl
climbed telephone pole to estab-
fish communication with Rockville
and Charlottesville. A band of
poSSemen was dispatched from
Charlottesville, but reached the
town after the bandits fed.
AS Worl chung to the top of the
pole, three bandits, leaving the
bank, passed below, where WORKS
bulldog Queen" was standing. AS
the bandit fled toward their cars,
the dog ran after them.
Dog Chases Bandits
Worl said he shouted "hey" to the
dog.
Then one of the bandits halted
and yelled to Worl to shut up"
The bulldog continued to chase
the men, but stopped when one of
the bandits threw several rocks.
Several persons in the Cuppy
hotel narrowly escaped being shot
in the exchange of bullets between
vigilantes and the bandits.
Mrs. Sarah Miller, operator Of the
hotel, and her daughter, Mrs. Mary
Kirschman, we're awakened by the
shots.
Mrs. Kirschman ran into the
hotel lobby and turned out a night
light. Just as she pressed the
button, a bullet shattered glass in
the door of the hotel, missing Mrs.
Kirshman by a few inches.
Guests Flee to Safety
Meanwhile, Mrs. Miller drew a
chair to the window overlooking the
street and witnessed the exchange
of shots.

SHANGHAI, Feb. ga Japa-
nese aerial bombardment in Cha
pet at 8 p. m. central standard time
today abruptly interrupted a fan
tastic unwritten truce begun a few
hours earlier to permit observance
of the ancient Chinese New Year.
A squadron of Japanese bombers
from the aircraft carrier Notoro be-
gan bombing two troublesome Chi
nese artillery batteries in Chapel,
and the battle of Shanghai was on
again after a brief 1ull.
japanese marine headquarters
announced, when the aerial attack
ceased, that their artillery, rein
forced during the day, would join
the bombardment of the weaken
ing Chinese positions.
Japanese Admiral on Way
Chinese troops in the blackened
ruins of Chapel attempted to OBJ
serve the lunar New Year, cele-
brated in China for centuries. They
made the best of wartime make
shifts.
There was a noticeable absence
of the usual firecrackers. The
Chinese apparently feared these
might be mistaken for resumption
of the battle.
The Japanese, with typical orien-
tai willingness to exchange amen
tiles, appeared ready to take advan-
tage of the breathing spell. 1t will
give time for Admiral Nomura, the
new naval commanding officer, to
arrive.
He is due Monday. The Twelfth
division of the japanese imperial
army also was reported en- route,
and due not later than Monday, re-
inforcing the war-weary Japanese
marines.
U. S. Infantry Lands
The Thirty-f1rst infantry, United
States army, landed at 8 a. m. from
the transport Chaumont, prior to
brief exchange of artillery fire
during the morning. The settle
ment streets were free of traffic as
the American soldiers landed at the
customs jetty and marched jauntily
along the bund and up Marking
road, bands playing lively martial
airs.
Many cheered from windows
along the route to their new quar-
tiers, however, awakened by the
blare of bands as the soldiers
marched smartly along Shanghai's
most colorful street.-the first regu-
lar army troops to land in China
since the boxer rebellion in 1900.

rivals as they swung along. They

be limited to those boys who really were
interested inI the objectives for which
the camp strives, and whose patriotic en-
thusiasm <was outstanding.
In order to get such candidates the

Those who were considered unfit or un-
desirable, with the result that the boys
who are going to camp this year are a
representative lot of an unusually high
type.
In addition to the 80 who are to be at

connection with the death June 10

One of the arguments of defense
attorneys was that KloSs and Will

affair until Gomez was shot through
the head. 1t was after that, and
while Hatfield was asleep, they
weighted the body with iron and
threw it into the Alamo river.

ing board, it is hoped will provide
place at the camp for every desirable
applicant
Scholastic standing and general char
acter will count heavily in selections for
next years camp, the reserve officers
hoping to make attendance at the camp
a mark of honor, as it rightly should be.
Efforts of the reserve officers to i'm
prove the type of candidates for the
camp have been given recognition by the
army officers in letter to DR.. n. E.
Dupont, county chairman of the CMTC
and member of the reviewing board, from
1t. Col. John Cooke, executive officer at
the camp, who commended the Imper-
ial county plan in the highest terms and
asked that details regarding it be furn-
ished hip with the intention of having
the system adopted here extended else
where.
The Importance of the CMTC is prac-
tically unknown to many citizens. It's
object cannot Justly be termed militar-
istic. Military experience is acquired at
the camp and naturally is its paramount
objective, but the youngsters attending
are given lessons in obedience, disci-
pline, teamwork and character building
which will be of service to them in after
life though they never shoulder a gun.
Attendance at the camp does not bind
youth to future service in any way, un-
less he so wishes and is capable and for
tunate enough to complete the full camp
course and be given a commission in the
reserve. Those who succeed in doing
this have been we'll drilled in fundamen-
tails of character that cannot help but
make them better citizens in time of
peace and better soldiers if the need for
such service ever comes.

OUTSIDE JUDGE

Judge Vaughn N. Thompson, who

sumed the position of a presiding
jurist of the Fourth District Court
Of Appeals at San Diego. He will

place during the hearing of a de-
murrer by the Imperial Irrigation
District to the complaint of Roy
Westmorland, T. D. Mccall, John
Andrews and others.
The Westmorland suit is aimed to
test the legality of the so cent
water toll levied by the district. It
is the contention of the plaintiffs
that the toll is illegal, in that it
should have been adopted at the
same time as the annual assessment
rate.
The district, however, contends
that the toll is entirely separate,
and legal in all respects.

Alleged In Suit

J. B. Sbaraglio today asked "reas-

Alex Mashaw, Tom Garrett, Joe
Diller and others, because, he as
serted in a civil complaint, they
jumped three mining claims belong
ing to him.
While he was absent from the
state, Sbaraglio's complaint said,
the defendants took possession of
three Golden Sun quartz mining
claims, began operations, and have
removed large quantities of gold
bearing ore from the claims, with
out his permission.
He did not become aware of this
until May IS, when he demanded
that they cease operations and
leave the claims. They refused to
do SO, the complaint said.
Sbaraglio asked that the defend
ants be ordered to show cause why
they should not be restrained from
continuing operations, asked an or
der restraining them from taking
out any more ore, and asked dam
ages for the ore already taken out.
This ore, in the complaint, was
estimated at value Of $500.

no stronger and the Gator with the

so that he laughed. And when he
opened his mouth to laugh the
Gator swallowed a lot of water
and that made him choke and
sneeze and cough SO he couldn't
