BANK ROBBERY

, LEADER SHOT DEAD. [United Press Association.—By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright. J (Received this day at 9.25 a.in.) NEW YORK, Dec. 10. The quiet village of Shnkopec, Mlll- - was the scene of the repulse of a bank robbery that was worked out with the precision of a movie drama. The Chief of Police received a tip that robbers proposed to visit the bank and'he had riflemen in a hlackmith’s shop with a machine gun commanding the whole situation from a second storey window opposite the bank. The battle came at the sche- ■*- duled hour. The tellers handed the bandits fifteen hundred dollars and then a gun light commenced. More than a hundred shots were fired. Bud McTnerney, a bad man from St. Fall, the bandit leader, was killed and two companions were wounded. A unique feature was that the village butcher without advance information of the robbery dashed from his shop with a rifle and brought down one robber and was receiving all tha glory from the machine gun squad, when the battle ended.
