It was either one of the boldest robberies or one of the most ill planned of the era. C. L. (Gunplay) Maxwell had been trying to impress Butch Cassidy and the Wild Bunch for, some time, hoping to become a member of that group. Maxwell joined up with a man called Porter, Por-ter, plans were made, and that set the stage for the robbery in Springville. Spr-ingville. May 28th, 1898 was a Saturday Satur-day and the bank opened at 10 a.m. that morning as usual. ILL. ' Cummings, the banks head cashier, cash-ier, was outside the bank for a few minutes when Maxwell and Porter entered. They presented a withdrawal note to the assistant cashier, A.O.

When Maxwell Max-well bent over to pick up some dropped coins, Packard was able to press the alarm button that was connected to both the H.T. Reynolds Rey-nolds store and Deal Bros. Reynolds heard the alarm, and thinking it was false, called over to the bank. After he got no answer he grabbed two Winchesters Winches-ters and rushed outside. Maxwell and Porter had backed out of the bank, gotten in the buckboard, gone a block south and turned east. Reynolds took pursuit in a heavy wagon as the alarm was spread. The bandits continued southeast, south-east, and on the Mapleton bench met Thomas Snelson headed for Springville. They tried to buy Snelson's horse and finally took it from him at gunpoint, throwing $46.50 in coin on the ground. Reynolds was now within range and fired twice at Maxwell and Porter but missed. The robbers went toward the mouth of Hobble Creek canyon and by the time they reached it the posse had drawn close enough that they scrambled for cover in forty acres of dense scrub oak. 8th grade Jennifer Bailey, David Benn-ion, Benn-ion, Shellie Bess, Jenae Boyer, Kelly Brenae, Shaun Briggs, Brenda Case, Michael Crane, , Emily Croshaw, Gregory Felix, Callie Haggard and Jacob Hale.

Packard, who had joined the posse, saw Maxwell a few feet away under a pile of leaves and covered him with his shotgun. He ordered him out of the brush where he was handcuffed by Sheriff Storrs who had just arrived ar-rived from Provo. Joseph W. Allan, a 47 year old blacksmith, had also joined the posse and he spotted Porter about ten minutes after Maxwell was captured. He called out to Porter to drop his weapons and come out. Porter answered by shooting Allan above the knee and shattering the bone. Alan fell as he cried out and then fired one shot. A few minutes later, after there had been no more shooting nor any other sound from Porter, Sheriff Storrs cautiously crawled into the brush and found Porter dead with four bullet wounds. Shortly after noon, Maxwell and Porter were taken back to town. Maxwell refused to identify identi-fy both himself and Porter.
