Rurcka Springs, Ark., Sept. 27,
Five bandits heavily armed rode into
this town in two automobiles at 11
o'clock this morning to rob the First
National bank. 1\>nitfbt the bodies of
two of them are in an undertaker's os
tablUhment, one bandit is so badly
wounded ills death is momentarily ex
peeled, and two other members of the
g?ng. with loss sewiv wounds, are Ui
the guarded jail, a^ the result of a bat
tie between the bandits and citizens
of Kureka Springs.

and Sam CoWan, driver of one of the
bandits' autoinobiles. jp tlte men
iii Jail. Cowan Is lielieved to be a
resident of Joplln, Mo. Charles Price
was operated on touight.
On entering the town the men drove
dlrtX'tly to the hank. They made the
usual commands, which \Yere obeyed
by the bank employees.
The robliers looted the bank vaults,
securing in bonds and- .$2.r>,<KM)
in cash, which they placed1 in sacks.
While they were at their work JO. <1.
Smith, cashier of the Ivank, stepped on
n button whivh sounded an alarm sim
ultaneously in five business houses.
The citizens were ready when the
quintet emerged, from the bank with
their siicks of loot. From places of
vantage gunfire was directed at the
robliers who .returned the hail of lead.
Ivrnest Jordon. jeweler, -whose plHce
of business adjoins the bank. killed
one of them instantly and wounded a
second man. Joe McKinney, attorney,
fired fro^i an upper Window of a build
ting across the street and he. duplicated
Jordan's feat. *Exeei>t that Jordon re
eeived powder luirns. n<?t a resident ?>f
the town was wounded in the hat tie.
Due to the fact that the town is
,built on a mountainside, the streets are
not on a level, stups leading down from
one street to another. The citizens
took advantage of this and occupied po
sitions on a street, on higher level than
the bank, firing downward at the ban
dits..
In April or this year. Henry Starx*.
notorious bank bandit and outlaw, paid
a visit to the Harrison ibank, Harrison,

and met his deatii from a rifle shot
fired by the president of the bank,
shooting from concealed loopholes* in

or two ago said a Fort Mill mini; "ami
every now and then, or once in n
while, an you jwi^r. 1 yet take a look
iu on the phases of life which would
not be recommended in Sunday School.
For a vcar or two 1 flopped around
iu F ranee trying to buiup off tierinans
and otherwise having a good time, in
cluding n few vbdts to the dance halls,
gambling joints for.both sexes, caba
rets ami cafes \rb9T0 liquor was sold
and the women were of the free and
e?KV class that glws the country none
too good reputation abroad; but in all
these places I did not s?h? anything
quite so advanced as tho things one
may see at some of the swell da noes
in this eouutry.
"Not long ago I went to one of
tbe-so dances In a town not a thous
and miles from here. There was
plenty of liquor to he had at the
dunce, but 1 did not driuk any of it
and was therefore in condition to ob
serve what was happening. Some of
the things I saw lacked a good deal
of recommending the town for order
liness and gentility. The police fi
nally came along after midnight and
took in* tow some of the young male
drunks who 'were getting too gay
'with their obscene singing, loud
swearing ami other acts of debauch
ery; and that was all right, but the
thing I corild not underhand was why
?soiue of the women at trie dance were
not also run in for Indecent exposure
of the person; but of eonrse these
! things did not Jar me, as 1 saw jnst
| about -what 1 expected to see.
[ ,4,Kver beon to one of these up-to
date dances, wh^re tho paraphernalia
of the women consists 'of enough
clothing to flag an ox-cart and a suf
ficient quantity of. powder to blow up
u hillside and enough qmlnt to coyer
seveiii 1 barn roofs and the principal
characteristic of the men for the time
being is their llquored-up condition?
ever been to one of these dances? No!
you don't know what, you have.missed.
The women are always full of 'pep,'
while the men are full of liquor ond
the combination means a gay old time.
I'll lake yon along with me to the
