GUNPLAY IN STREET
BANK ROBBER KILLED DARING RAID FAILS * (United Service) SEATTLE, Wednesday. Two robbers descended upon the First National Bank at Coquille, Oregon, and took possession of the bank as it opened for business at nine o’colck in the morning. But a cashier named Webb saw them coming and, dashing into a vault, he opened fire with a rifle. In reply the robbers opened a fusilade. They then snatched £ 4,000 and ran for a motor-car, but they had not proceeded 50 yards before* a bullet pierced a tyre of the car. A running fight resulted, in which one robber was killed and the other captured. The money was recovered.
