RICHLAND, Oct. 12. (Sp.)—Three masked and armed
bandits held up the First State Bank here Wednesday after-
noon at 2:45 o'clock and escaped in a high powered automo-
bile with approximately $3,000 in currency. The men drove
up to the bank without attracting any attention and two ox
them entered, covering H. C. Davis, cashier, and Grady G&i-
ame, assistant cashier, with drawn guns. They demanded to
be shown where the bank's currency was and, scooping it up,
fled. Only one witness saw them leave the bank and he was
unable to give a good description oi the car in which they
were riding. He declared he thought it was a ye low Luid<
