Marshal Killed By Bank Robbers

Marshal Rolla Smith, of Chelsea, Tama County, was shot and killed by bank 
robbers at one o’clock in the morning. The three lawbreakers secured no booty 
and escaped on a handcar to a place near Long Point and then walked across 
country to Gladstone, where they boarded a Milwaukee freight train. Three 
suspects are under arrest at Keystone and are being held to await 
identification. The Sheriffs of Tama and Benton counties have had posses 
searching in every direction all day. Marshal Smith leaves a widow and infant 
son, for whom the people of Chelsea will raise a fund.
