She was ilie more seriously hurt.

Firing on the bandit car even with women exposed from the run ning boards apparently occurred, officers said, because townspeople recalled that in the first of six bandit raids in North Dakota this month, two women participated.

In the previous raid a citizen of Hunter, was wounded slightly by a. machine gun bullet. At least one submachine gun was seen today.

The women said they were struck by the first blast as the car was leaving the bank. Miss Stock, her left leg broken by a shotgun charge fired from nearby second story windows, and her body bearing multiple flesh wounds, soon was pulled into the car. Miss Wliipps was compelled to hang to the outside. S. H.
