went behind the screen and search-

demanded the banks cash and the
cashier, with a pistol thrust In the
small of his back,, was told to open
the safe and be quick about it, He
obeyed and his captor stuffed the
currency found in the safe into his
pockets, obtaining $1,800, but In the

Responses to the address of welcome

Almost simultaneously a coupe that
had been parked close to the bandit
car got under way and followed it
a block east to the Meridian High-
way where both turned north toward
Temple.
Mayor Sheridan Cavitt fired twice
at the two cars as they crossed the
railroad traclds and S. J. Budnick
fired once but it is not believed that
any of the shots were effective.
A posse was organized at once and
chase was given. An hour after
the robbery the touring car was found
abandoned on the banks of Little
River near Vilas eight miles east of
Holland. There was no trace of the
coupe nor of the occupants of either
car.
Many believe the closed car was
occupied by a companion of the ban-
dits and that the pasengers in the
open car changed to the coupe and
in this way hoped to blind the trail
