Bandits Loots Ryan Bank of $3000
Two unmasked men entered the First Station Bank of Ryan at 12:30, Tuesday and took approximately $3000 in silver and currency after forcing Cashier THOMAS A. HUGHES to lie on the floor while the bookkeeper, OLIVER ANDERSON, gathered up the money for them.
The men left town, driving toward Sugden, with Mr. Hughes following closely behind. They were lost sight of near Sugden and so further trace of them has been found.
Mr. Anderson was shot and painfully but not seriously wounded in the hand when the younger of the two bandits became so nervous that he fired his gun.
The bandits were judged to be about 18 and 27 years of age…
Bandit Car Found North of Ryan
Search for the two bandits who robbed the First State Bank of Ryan at noon Tuesday proved futile at noon Thursday. The only clue found has was Ford Coupe identified as the car stolen from a man named LITTLE at Duncan Saturday night. It was found on a lonely side of the road 5 miles north of Ryan shortly after the holdup. It is believed that an aide of the bandits met them at this point for a change of cars to make sure their escape.
Thomas Threatened with Arrest for Hike in Cream Price here
After posting an increase of 4 cents per pound for cream last Saturday by the THOMAS & TROTTER Grocery, a high powered cream king appeared in town and informed Mr. Thomas that he was guilty of unfair discrimination and was subject to arrest, fine and possibly a jail sentence if he did not return cream to the 26 cents level. Such words from a stranger who purported to be such a power did make Thomas think and he called his cream headquarters in Enid to find out just where he stood. Then he informed the cream king that he was owner of his own store and knew how to run it and it would be best not to molest him. Thomas said, “I will pay $1 per pound for cream if I want to, and won’t ask you anything about it.†This infuriated the stranger but his pert remarks were met by jeers and threats of running him out of town from farmers who were listening to the argument. The ‘King of Cream’ left town in high and was never been heard of since. Thomas stayed with his 4 cents advance on the price of cream and caused the local market to soar to 82 cents for the day.
