sible hideout of the surviving ban

years old and under an auto theft
charge. He was placed in the
hospital after being shot and
wounded July "a, 1884, by Deputy

tempted to question him about a
stolen car.
Mills met the same fate that
came earlier to his companion in
the escape, William DIN (Bish)
Perkins, bank robber and head of
the self-styled "Dillinger gang of
the OZarks."
Perkins was shot and killed last
September by East st. Louis detec-

chine guns Wednesday afternoon
