Enid, Ok., Nov. • 7.—“Shoestring|
bandits” seem to be following the
chain of clothing stores owned in
the oil fields cast of here by C. E.
j Ford. Two weeks ago a "customer"
j entered the store at Covingttm und
| requested shoestrings of the youth-
ful clerk. The customer proved to
be a bandit, who umd the strings
in binding the lad while he robbed
the cash register. This week, two
men entered the Ford store at Gar-
ber in quest of "boots." The same
stunt was used and the robbers
escaped with a loot estimated at
$200.
