He said the list includes people suspected in slayings, rapes, and other crimes, and who are no longer in the area where they are wanted. "They are ones law enforcement officers just cannot find and have been trying to find for some time," Dillard said. Dillard said Gov. Mark White announced the program this month, but that law enforcement agencies throughout the state were asked before Christmas to send in lists of "RETAIL SHOPPING A WHOLESALE PRICES PRICES GOOD JANUARY 23-JANUARY 29 FOOD STAMPS ACCEPTED fugitives.

can Crime stoppers 472-TIPS 10 oz. jar Crime Stoppers this week is offering $1,000 for information leading to the arrest and indictment of a man known as the "Cowboy Bandit" or the "Rainy Day Bandit," who is a suspect in as many as 18 bank robberies in Texas and Louisiana. The robber, who has not been seen in more than 2'2 years, was photographed by bank cameras July 7, 1981, when he held up the Capital City Savings branch at 3401 Northland Drive. In that robbery, he walked up to a teller's cage and placed a Safeway grocery sack on the counter. He held a small blue-framed steel revolver on the teller and ordered her to empty the money drawer.

He then made her go to each of the other teller stations, which were locked. The teller placed an exploding dye packet in the paper bag with the money. The dye exploded as the robber was leaving the bank. Investigators believe the explosion may have sprayed red dye on the money and the robber's clothes. The robber is described as a slender white man, in his mid- to late 20s, 5 feet 10 inches to 6 feet tall, and 150 to 160 pounds.

He had short, neat brown hair and appeared to be well-tanned. There may be a mole on his neck behind his left ear. During most of the robberies, the soft-spoken gunman wore western-style clothes, a cowboy hat, and mirrored sunglasses. 289' 30 oz.
