Bank Robbers Spray Crowd with Bullets Police, Calling After Burglar Alarm Sounded, Told "Nothing Wrong" Peru. Ind., Ort. 18. Bandits to day robbed the First National Bank of Peru cf 45 thousand dollars in CTsh and 15 thousand dollars in se curities, slightly wounded a police man and a bystander and dashed out rf town without a shot having been fired at them. Six or seven men comprised the gang. Four of them entered the bank, forced 15 employes and cus tomers to lie down, swept up all money in sight, made a clerk open the safe where more currency was obtained and forestalled the police in answering a burglar alarm. Guns in Each Hand. The men rushed to their auto, guns In each hand excepting the man holding the money shot into the gathering crowd, and speeded out of town, firing several Ehots in the air. Policeman John Devinie was shot through the foot as he approached the bank when the bandits were making their getaway. H. L. How enstein of Michigan City, Ind., suf fered a broken leg when etruck by a bullet. Police Quieted. Kendrick Kenny, assistant cash ier, stepped on a burelar alarm to call the police, just before he was forced to lie down with other em ployes and customers. When po '?ce headquarters called by telephone to inquire as to the alarm, the ban dits thrust a firearm against the body of Mrs. Martha Er.dicott and compelled her to advise the depart ment that nothing was wrong in the bank. The men drove away from Peru in the direction of Indianapolis or Lrgansport. County and city auth orities gave chase, but lost all trace when they reached the branch in the road. An airplane was pressed into service but returned without infor mation after searching reads going to Rochester, Mentone and Culver. Wcrld-Herald. Lincoln. Oct. 18. Her prospects of receiving $150,000 left by a "poor old fellow" she befriended 18 years ago were related Friday by Mrs. Edna Emmert, housekeeper for Fath er D. B. O'Connor at Havelock. When a reporter called. Mrs. Em mert was on her knees waxing tbe floor of the priest's home. That's the sort of thing she expects to keep on doing until some actual cash rolls in. For the will of Charles Putman, who died July 15 at the Mercy hos pital in Aberdeen, S. D., didn't settle his estate. Instead of consisting of a wagon and a team of six mules, as South Dakota residents supposed, his property amounts to $200,000 or $300,000 in Dakota and Montana land. At least that is what Mrs. Em mert heard from the administrator. Seek to Break It. A nephew and two nieces of the deceased, none of whom got favor able mention in the testament, are now trying to break It. If they fail, -100,0000 goes to the Mercy hospital, Mrs. Emmert says, and the rest to her. "I don't know exactly what I will do if I do get it." Mrs. Emmert stated. "Probably I'll stay right here where all my friends and relatives live." When a 69-year-old man with a hitch of mules wandered to tbe farm near Claremont, S. D., where Mrs. Emmert and her husband were living in 1911, they decided he looked cold and hungry and gave him a bed. For 18 months thereafter he stayed most of the time." Neighbors called them "crazy." Tbey got no money from the supposed pauper. They got little work. But they let him stay. Said Nothing of Wealth. "He never said he was rich," Mrs. Emmert recounted. "We couldn't help feel sorry for him. Besides, I was so lonesome up in that country that I welcomed even his company." After leaving South Dakota in 1912, the Emmert's heard occasion ally from Putman indirectly. Never did they get a hint of hi3 intention to bequeath her a fortune, however, until the 80-year-old pioneer had died and his will had been filed. Omaha Bee-News. .

Do- hen y. Atlee Pomerene. special govern ment prosecutor, directed his fire as much toward Doheny, whom he term ed the "wise old man." as he did to ward Fall. He told the Jury the evi dence in the case indicated that Fall and Doheny had conferred months be fore the Pearl Harbor contract and Elk Hills lease, for winch Fall is al leged to have accepted tie $100,000. wre negotiated. He read a letter from the defendant to Doheny in which Fall said he alone would han dle the leasing of the oil reserves, and traced the negotiations down to the final signing of the lease. He con tended the entire deal was predicted upon the payment of $100,000 to Fall by Doheny on Nov. 30, 1921. Frank J. Hogan, chief defense counsel, opened his argument with an attack upon the government prose cutor and lauded Doheny as a man who would not take a chance that any of his actions would "ruin a friend." He told the jury that Fall, asked by Secretary Denby of the navy to administer the oil reserves, had refused to do so and that President Harding had transferred that respon sibility to him against his wish. PERSIA PROTESTS MARKET PRACTICE New York Arrested by New York j detectives Monday when his snip landed from New Orleans. John Mc Giuldrick, second officer of the steamship Creole, was held as a fugi tive from justice from New Orleans where he is wanted in connection with the death of Jack Kraft, former ly of New York, on Oct. 11.

DRY AGENT HELD IN CRASH CATTLE FEEDERS PROVING WAR Lincoln. Oct. 21. Last year's low profits have made cattle feeders in Nebraska thi3 season wary of taking on too much stock, says the state and federal statistician. The result is that the early move ment of animals to the feed lots has been 30 per cent under that of 192S. In the corn belt as a whole, the movement was 20 per cent lower than the previous season and 13 per cent under the five-year average. It seems likely, however, in view of the more favorable situation now prevailing, that the late movement may exceed last year's. SAFETY COUNCIL NAMES OFFICERS Ewing. Neb., Oct. 21. H. W.
