TOWN HELDUP
BANDITS’ DARING RAID. (Sun Cable.) NEW YORK, November 7. Twenty bandits swept the town of Spencer (Indiana) early in the morning, blasted the safes of two banks, and escaped with thirteen thousand dollars into the Kentucky hills. They drove into Spencer in automobiles, captured Vaughan, Chief of Police, locked him in the City Hall, and cut the telephone wires, while others, using high explosives, badly
wrecked bank buildings. The bandits fired upon and wounded some residents when making a dash from the town after the raid.
