Blinded by the painful fumes, the bank robbers were further alarmed by Fred Lockridge, Chesapeake and Ohio railroad tower employe. He saw a light in the bank and started toward it, thinking he had to deal with fire, As he neared, a shot was fired and

he retreated. Shortly thereafter, a high powered automobile was heard to roar through the town. At dawn, examination disclosed a yawning hole in the vault. This hide had released the tear gas fumes, painful in the extreme. An acetylene torch was found on the floor of the bank, indicating the gangsters had left hurriedly. Pursuit of the burglars was balked because they had cut a telephone cable before breaking into the bank and Lockridge could not summon aid. Earl Allen, bank cashier, said nothing was missing. Frank Hundley, of Summitville, is the president. ——o Exports To China Gain Despite Civil Warfare Washington.
