morning, a gang of five bnndlts, all
masked nnd heavily armed, defied the
police and gave battle.

chief of police, was badly wounded.
After two of the robbers were cap
tnred another .battle occurred in the
outskirts of tho city, nnd the others
are being closely pursued. No loot

without being noticed.
He glimpsed tho men crawling
through the window of the bank, the
protecting bars having been sawed
through. He notified the police, und
a posse surrounded the building.
