At Savannah, Missouri. Six disguised men, a little after 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon walked into the bank and, demanded of the President, Mr. McLane the keys to the vault. Mr. McLane and his son were the only ones in the bank but the demand was refused; when one of the gang fired several shots from a revolver, McLane returning the fire till receivtng a wound in the breast. The shots brought citizens to the bank, and the six men aware of this fact, hastened to their horses and commenced their retreat with 40 or 50 men in pursuit -- the outlaws taking the road to this city says the St. Joe Herald ,lie Sheriff of Andrew County came to St. Joseph by the evening train and notified our authorities of the above facts and orders given to scout the Savannah road for suspicious parties. Mr. McLane's condition is dangerous - not much hope of recovery.
The men are supposed to have been secreted for days in the brush near Rochester and nrohably made plans for a safe retreat. St. Joe Herald |
