NOT WILD AND wOOLLY.

Nothing more irritating TO the west
has occurred in a long time than the
action of the census bureau in refus-
ing TO permit young women to go to
Oklahoma to assist in taking the new
census there because it is a new coun-
try and too wild for Washington girls.
Oklahoma cannot, of course. deny that
il is new" in the sense that it was
lately opened for settlement. but 1t
emphatically protests against the i'm
putation that ii is no place for young
women of the east. 1t must be ad-
mitted that the official who made this
ruling betrayed surprising Ignorance
of his country. There may have been
some good reason for refusing to per-
nit clerks in the Washington depart
ment to go to Oklahoma, but II does
not reveal itself In this pronuncia-
mento. On the contrary. a trip to Ok

vided a charming excursion for these

that would embarrass the service and
create vacancies hard to fill.

Chicago, March 22.-Three arm
ed craftsmen who had attempted to
blow open the safe in the post office
at Morris, ILL.,, were captured after a
pistol battle. They were discovered
secreted in an empty box car in the
yards, where they had been pursued.
The men were taken in one of the
most desperate encounters that the
police have had in years. The report
of the attempted post Office robbery
and safe blowing aroused the town,
and hundreds of persons joined in the
chase and surrounded the Jail when
the men were taken.
The robbers were discovered Just
as they were about to dynamite the
big safe in the post office. The strong
box contained $4,000 in money and val
uables. With their discovery by To-.
cal policeman the men dropped their
work and fled toward the railroad
yards.
North on Liberty street, one of the
main thoroughfares of the town, the
men ran wildly, pursued by the police
man, who called for assistance. The
long lead gained by the safe blowers
prevented the patrolman from using
his revolver.
When half mile had been covered

they had eluded their pursuers.

building.
After the exchange of many shots
the bandits saw the hopelessness OF
further resistance and surrendered.
The Morris post office is in charge
of Henry T. Claypool. He was imme
'diately Informed of the attempted
robbery and went to the local Jail.
The men, when questioned, declared
they had come from Chicago. They
refused to divulge their identity or tell
| the police any details of their life
Chief Collins was notified of the at
tempted robbery and detectives will
| be sent to Morris to investigate the
case. 1t is thought the men will be
known to the Chicago police.
