BANDITS GET $4,000
f ROM ARKANSAS BANK
Two Unmasked Highwaymen Loot
Institution at Sulphur Springs
Tuesday Afternoon,
Sulphur Springs, Ark., Aug. 19.
Entering the bank with revolvers
drawn and leveled and driving four
persons into the vault, which they
then locked, two unmasked highway
men at 2:30 o'clock' this afternoon
robbed the Bank of Sulphur Springs
of $4,000 in cash.
The bandits evidently had timed
their appearance carefully, as th
greater part of the bank's business
for the day had been transacted, and
few persons were near the institution
when they approached.
As the bandits stepped through the
door of the bank, they whipped re
volvers from their pockets and leveled
them at S. O. Whalcy, cashier; Miss
Mary Abcrcrombie, assistant cashic-,
Judge W. D. Hawk, an attorney here
and a fourth person who, had visited
the bank to transact business. The
command, "hands up," was given, and
the four were compelled to step back
from desks and drawers in which re
volvers might have been concealed.
Whaley then was compelled to open
a small burglar proof bank in which
Icept, and to unlock the institution's
a portion of the bank's funds were
large vault, from which a part of the
loot was taken. The four victims
then were compelled to enter the vault
and the door was locked. After this
the robbers rifled the various cash
drawers in the front end of the bank,
poured their loot into sacks and drove
away rapidly in their motor car.
