Playing a lone hand an unidentified bandit this morning at 11 o'clock forced Cashier Howard Simpson and Director B. H. Hoskin, into a corner and robbed the Bank of Summerfield, a village about 12 miles north of this city, of about $2,000 in cash. After rifling the cash drawer of the institution and securing every penny of cash the roibber backed out of the door and (made his get away, going across the fields from the village into a wood. Sheriff Stafford and posse of deputies and city police officers left imn-modiafnlv Q-f+Ar tflA "harvnATlin^ for the scene and ibegan a thorough search of the countryside which had not resulted in success late to day. The cashier and director were standing in the main room of the bank reading a letter when the man entered. He threw a gun on them, ordered them to put up their hands, which they complied. Failing in his efforts to lock them in the vault he held them covered with his gun whil? he secured the money. After cleaning the till and making certain that there was no more cash in the building he backed to the door and made his escape. Excitement is run ning high in the village following the robbery, people flocking to the scene from tho farms and communi ties nearby, virtually * all of whom joined the she<rifTs posse in pursuit of the bandit.

AFFECTS POSTAL CLERKS President Wants Work on Strict Eight-Hour Basis. Washington, May 28.?President Harding today took action affecting more than 50,000 postal clerks and carriers throughout the country when ne approved a recommendation 01 the Postoffice Department for the es tablishment of a strict eight-hour basis for postal employees.

To make such a move pos sible the President was said to have idvised Mr. Bartlett that he would isk Congress for an additional ap propriation. GUARDS ASSISTED THE PRISONERS TO ESCAPE Greensboro, N.
