Belfast, Sept. 21. Members of the outlawed Irish Republican Army, armed with revolvers and sub-machine-guns, made sensational raids on banks and post offices throughout Belfast yesterday and engaged in gun duels with police guards.
One police sergeant, John Lynon, was wounded in the temple, but he shot and wounded one of the LR.A. raiders as he collapsed.
A post mistress, Ethel Davison, and a pedestrian, John Burns, also were wounded.
The LR.A. outlaws were believed to have obtained loot valued at U.S.
