But the burglars apparently did fear capture as they deliberately walked the streets and shot out the electric lights in wild West style. Banson and Sumpton were ¢@etermined to capture the burglars and the cashier, at the head of a small party of citizens, tried to close in on three of the thieves. A running fight followed, and Banson re- ceived a flesh wound in the forehead. He was only slightly injured, and con- tinued his pursuit until a bullet from the revolver of one of the robbers struck him in the ankle, crippling him so that he had to give up the fight. It is believed that at least two of the robbers were wounded by Banson as the burglars were overheard, as they were heard cursing about their wounds, to remark: “He has plugged two of us.’ Three of the seven bank robbers left the city running toward Union not More than 300 retail] stores in St. Louls have handled the stamps of the associa- } » ; » ror tion.

The withdrawal of several! large firms the companys list of patrons is said have caused the company’s dif- ficulties. The failure of kindred trading stamp companies in New York and Chi- cago has injured the St. Louis firm. The suit brought by the Fourth Na- tional Bank shows that the promissory note was first given by Wheelhouge to Harry L. Benedict, who assigned it to the bank. Benedict was formerly a chief stockholder in the New York and Chi- cago firms which have iately closed. The St. Louls Trading Co. issued trad- ing stamps in the denomination of 10 c,1ts.

Abboit, who was a bachelor, was lated by marriage to Brown brothers. He died about two months ago and tn behalf of certain heirs letters of ad- ministration were applied for by Mr. Atkinson. It was found on inquiry that the de- ceased had left only $300 in cash; the remainder of the estate consists of Ab- bott's personal eflects, an ancestral clock and the punch bowl. “Mr. Abbott's heirs,”’ sald Mr. Atkin- son at the Planters Tuesday, “number about thirty an@ they are scattered all over the world, “Moet of the monwy he left will be detrayed for postag-. ‘The punch bowl is the only thing of value-—-if indeed it has any intrinsic value.

Before going to the bank the burglars met the town walehiiian and overpowered and gagged him. After the second explosion, that wrecked the safe and bank building, the town was practically at the mercy of the desperadoes, who walked the streets shooting at everything in sight and appar- ently taking their time in leaving the scene of their crime, While three of the robbers were trying to blow open tne safe, four stood on guard and opened fire on the gashier, R.
