         PLUGGED MR. BANK ROBBER
      Cashier Carlisle of Harrisburg Makes a
                Neat Capture
    THEY GOT COLD LEAD, NOT GOLD

Harrisburg, Neb., Oct 21.--(Special)-- A bold attempt
was made today to rob the Banner county bank of this
town.
   About 4 o'clock p.m. a masked man entered the bank
and ordered Mr. Carlisle, the cashier, to throw up
his hands. Mr. Carlisle stepped through a side door
through his residence and out of doors, and securing
the robber's horse, raised the alarm. In a few minutes
a dozen armed men were on the streets and the bank
was surrounded.
   The robber secured what money was in sight, threw it
in a sack and came out. After the exchange of a dozen
shots or so the robber started to run, and was finally
brought down, shot through the leg.
   Fortunately no one was shot but the thief. It is not 
known whether he had any pals or not. It turned out to
be a man by the name of Graham, a rancher living in the
edge of Scotts Bluff county. His wound is not dangerous.
All the money was recovered and the thief captured.
