SOUTH BEND, Ind., Feb. 21- Fast and accurate handling of a double barreled shotgun by Oscar Smith, a giant farmer and deputy marshal, of New Carlisle, Indiana, today brought about the capture of five armed bandits who a few hours earlier had robbed the Millburg bank at Millburg, Michigan, of $52,000 worth of bonds.
Smith emptied both barrels of his shotgun into the auto in which the bandits were fleeing, wounding all of them and made possible their capture. They are in a hospital here.
The five bandits held up the Millburg bank at about noon and fled in the direction of South Bend. A few ours later a farmer notified Stine Ackley, New Castle marshal, that he saw the bandit's car speeding toward South Bend.
Ackley took Smith and in another machine gave chase. They overtook the bandits, crowded them to the side of the road and forced them to stop.
As Ackley walked up to the bandit car to question the men, one of the bandits shot him in the shoulder. Smith immediately fired through the windshield.
