BANDITS CAUSE BANK FAILURE. Chicago Institution Goes Into Receivership. Special Despatch to THE NEW YORK HERALD. CHICAGO, Dec. 27.-Three visits during the last three years from bandits who made hauls on two of the raids proved too much for the Dressel Commercial and Savings Bank of Chicago. To-day the bank was forced into the hands of a receiver. The bank was held up first on December 23, 1918, when $6,000 was taken. and again on April 24, 1919, when $1,250 was taken. The third time was on June 16 of this year, when three men in an attempt to hold up the bank killed Louis Rouillard, 48 years old, a depositor. who resisted the robbers. The bandits failed to get any money the last time.
