>IN THE EARLY 1900'S there was a robbery of a store in Portland, OR, probably the early 1920's. there was a man shot during the course of this robbery, last name was BANDY. I do not know if he was the perpetrator or a victim. the bad thing about this story is that ? bandy was my great-uncle, the brother of my grandmother. she wouldn't speak of it so I suspect he was the perp. I would like to be sure, though. i would like to get any newspaper details or police report on this, but I have no idea on how to go about finding out the newspaper of the time or how to search for it. I am not in that area, so I would like to find someone in the area who could look this info up for me. The man's fathers name was charles carlton bandy, so it is possible his name was charles , too. Thank you , list.< There is an entry in the Oregonian Index for: Bandy, Earl 30 Oct 1926, page 1 "Youthful robber killed in flight" This looks like your fellow. The person who looked it up for me indicated the "6" in the year was faint - but this was his best interpretation. There's also a: Bandy, (Mrs.) Rose E. 1883-1974 29 Mar 1874 p.42 col. 4 You could probably find someone to look up the article for you - but I would suggest that instead, you order the microfilm in on inter-library loan - for that day and for a time following. You might find other articles about the event if you read through the paper - including death and funeral announcements.
