Deer-Hunting Dentist

Michigan towns this year have had twelve successful bank robberies. Midland, Mich., fearing that her turn might come, had deputized several businessmen to bear arms against such an emergency. One morning last week two gunmen entered Midland's Chemical State Savings Bank. The bank cashier ran to the bank president's aid, and the bandits began to fire, wounded both, ran out into the street, jumped into a car. Plunk! A bullet struck the driver's arm, the car crashed. The bandits leaped out, looked around for their enemy, shot an innocent truck driver who was passing, started to run up the street. Plunk! Another bullet struck one of them in the shoulder. Plunk! One of the bandits fell dead. The other ran on, was captured half-mile away.

The bandits never saw who fired at them. At the open window of his office, above the bank, wearing his white coat, stood Dentist Frank L. Hardy with a smoking rifle in his hands. He likes to hunt deer, had scored five hits out of six shots.
