RUNNING FIGHT WITH POLICE
(SPECIAL TO “TELEGRAPH”).
(By Tolegraph. Copyright, Telegraphic Messages Ordinanco, 1804. Received March 7, 9.12 a.m.).
A DRAMATIC HOLD-UP BY A GANG OF SIX BANDITS OF A BANK AT SIOUX FALLS, SOUTH DAKOTA, YESTERDAY WAS MARKED BY A SERIES OF ASTOUNDING EVENTS, INCLUDING A BATTLE WITH THE POLICE AND THE ABDUCTING OF A GIRL EMPLOYEE OF THE BANK.
John Dillinger, a notorious outlaw who escaped from gaol on Saturday, where he was held on a murder charge, is believed to have been at the head of the bandit gang.
After robbing the Bank, the outlaws strewed the road with nails to hinder pursuers, and later used the girl as a shield. Then they held up a motorist, and dashed off in his car.
A widespread search for Dillinger has so far proved fruitless.

In a broadcast address to. schools this afternoon, Mr. Stanley Baldwin expressed the 'strong belief that dictator ships, whether from the Right or Left, would not flourish in British soil where democra- tic institutions were digenous.
He admitted that a Dictator might do much when in power, but one thing he could not do was to create another Dictator. When ho went chaos often resulted.
Ho appreciated that the young were always in a hurry, - ́and. possibly those two alfen growths, Communism and. Fasciem might appeal to some of them.
