In the meantime Frank and Claus
Boetel were standing near a west
window of the bank near the corner
and heard the command of the rob
bers and at once gave the alarm,
while calls were being made to the
sheriff's office. Deputy Sheriff Lan
caster came south on Fifth street and
in le.ponse to the call of the Boetels
came across the street and crawling
on his hands and knees approached
the large glass doer, pushing the door
partly open and firing at the nearest
bandit, and a gun battle ensued, one
of the robbers being struck in the
heart by a bullet from the revolver
of the deputy and as he fell the other
two robbers ran to the rear of the
bank and plunged through a win
dow in the directors' room, leaving a
trail of blood that attested the aim
of the bullets plowing through the
thick glass of the door and required
some time to have the glass removed.
That the deputy was partially blind

ably saved the lives of the two re

man, shot in the right wrist by a
bullet from the gun of one of the
bandits.
The injured Omaha man was taken
to the office of Dr. T. P. Livingston
by Mr. Wthrbein to have his in
juries dressed.
The pursuit of the two fleeing ban
dits was taken up by posses of the
citizens and they were followed in
their flight north on Fourth street,
the men doubling back onto Fifth
street where tney continueu meir
flight. The arrival cf armed parties
in the neighborhood staged a battle
with the bandits who were rounded
up in the garage at the Searl Davis
1 psklence and where they surrendered
to members of the posse.
The men were taken to the county
jail and locked in the cage to await
the arrival of officers from the state
sheriff's office.
At the jail the injured man, shot
through the upper part of the right
arm, was given medical treatment
and both of the prisoners talked
freely of the unlucky exploit that
they had embarked in.
The men gave the names of John
It. Langi-ton. 3w. of Fort Crook, being
the wounded bandit, John II. Scislow
ski, 27, and their dead companion,
Clyde A. Durham, also of Fort Crook.
Langston stated that he was a for
mer soldier as was his two compan
ions, and in response to questions
Eta ted that it was their first attempt
at robbery. He gave as the reason
for his participation that be was a
married man with a wife and two
children and r.cded the money for
their care.
The trio were driving a Chevrolet
coach which bore a 1933 Nebraska
license No. 2-4039 and which is
thought by officers to be a stolen
car .they being compelled to abandon
the car in their attempted flight for
liberty.
Mr. Wehrbein stated that he was

The meeting was presided over by
Robert II. Bestor. president of the
club and who introduced the speaker
of the evening.
Senator Banning, who is one of
the best informed men on the affairs
of the state government, gave a most
interesting talk on the matters of
state government and issues that con
front the people of the state. He was
of the opinion that a state official
had his largest duty to his state and IMynard
the needs of the commonwealth rather
than in national affairs and isr-ues
and that local questions were of the
most importance to the people who
were maintaining the cost of the
state and its operations. Senator
Banning discussed various issues of
interest in the conduct of the state.
The club and its members were
pleased to have the distinguished
speaker with them and felt especially
honored that this was one of his first
addresses since his formal filing for
