After a racing gun battle, Cashier Henry Hurren, of Jordan Valley bank, Riverton , former grid star at the Univers ity of Utah, and Earl Porr of Fort Herrima n, Monday morning ran down and capture d David E. Penn, 22, of McCook , Neb., and Willis Woods, 22, of Riverton , recoveri ng $1669 which the pair had just raked up in a stickup in the Riverto n bank. Accordi ng to reports the couple entered the bank shortly after 10 o'clock. Penn, who stood in the doorway, held the gun on the cashier, three clerks and two custome rs in the bank, while Woods scooped up all the money in sight into a canvas bag Woods frisked Hurren, taking from him a ring of keys. Hurren argued with Woods and talked him into returning the keys. Woods then cut the phone wires inside the bank, and the pair forced the girl clerk and five men into a closet, leaped into a waiting automob ile and speeded east toward the state highway . With the key he had talked the robbers out of, Hurren satrted his car, invited a passing man to accompany him, and took up the chase, to a point about two and a half miles south of Sandy, where Hurren shot several times, hitting the body of the car and forcing the men to pull to the side of the road. The yeggs returned his fire. The bandits jumped out and started an attempt ed escape across a field, scatteri ng silver dollars in all directio ns as they ran. Hurren finally stopped the youths, and returned them to their car and drove them back to the bank, where most o! the money was recovere d, and where the authorit ies took them into custody . Both men confesse d, and stated that they had planned the robbery after being laid off their work at Bingham . Penn had been here only six weeks.
