Huntington Man Dies of Bandit's Wounds
Olet Sexton, 36, died from bullet wounds inflicted last Saturday by an unidentified robber who held up a filling station where Sexton worked. The bandit escaped with no money obtained. Masked men aboard a bus bound for a dance in Leannan Fort, Donegal Hills, Ireland, held up a group of 24 girls and their escort, a young artilleryman, at revolver point. The party was terrorized for hours then released. authorities attribute the attack to local resentment among young men over the dancers' attendance.
