Chicago, April 27.>—Tne cashier of
the Bank of Cicero, unaided, today de
feated* band of auto bandits in a bat

The “Hands up”’ command of the
bandits was answered instantly, but
when his hands went up one of them

used with telling and deadly effect.
The bandits, neyer expecting such a
reception, ware soon at tne mercy or
the cashier, and- when the smoke of
battle had cleared away one o? the
band'ts had been killed, and two others,
badly wounded were lying on the floor.
In a corner stood still two others, their
revolvers on the floor, their hands up,
held bv the leveled gun of the cashier,
and these latter were taken in charge
by police officers who had been attract

escaped in the early part of the firing
and got away by means of one of the
automobiles.

MAKING OF
A PICTURE
Leaps From Brooklyn
Bridge Into Waters
of East River.
New York, April 27.—On the deck
of a tug in t he East river a number of
motion picture cameras clicked.
Not far distant stood the great
Brooklyn bridge.
The cameras kept clicking.
All eyes were turned upward—gat
ing at a figure—a living figure—on the
topmost heights.
And still the cameras clicked.
The figure above was none other than
Daniel Carone.
Daniel, puffiing a cigarette, stood on
the very edge of the great structure.
And then, cameras still clicking, the
expected or unexpected happened.
The figure, still puffing a cigarette,
had taken the awful leap.
Down—down —down came Daniel Ca
rone, his graceful figure sinking for a
few moments only.
Beats were in readiness, and his res
cue was accomplished with little effort,
unharmed.
Carone had leaped from a height of
133 fesfc. and another great moving pic
ture had been made.
Burnings In Ireland.
Cork, April 27.—A dozen houses
were burned today in Bally Macelti
cott, in tho County Kerry, following
