be pleasing news to many to know that
the property has been leased by local
parties and that it will! continue as

in the past, the island will be leased

William j. Bethke has been engaged
to manage the island during the coming
season and will put forth every effort
to make the spot even more popular
than it has been in the past 1t is
understood that several improvements
will be n ade preparatory to the open
ing of the season.

SAFEbLOWERS TAKEN
IN desperate FIGHT
CHICAGO CRACKSMEN CAPTURED
AFTER ATTEMPTING TO ROB

PISTOL BATTLE IN
THE FREIGHT YARDS
Men Interrupted While About to Blow
Open Strongbox-$5o 900 in Money
and VaIuabIes Saved by Police
mans Discovery.

Chicago, March 22.-Three arm
ed cracksmen 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 enc 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 a To-
cal policeman the men dropped their
work and fed toward the railroad
yards
North on Liberty street, one of the
main thoroughfares of the town, the
men ran wildly, pursued by the police
hAie~iAJ VIM SoIiSu lOl cooi0IcllICS. IIC
long lead gained by the safe blowers
prevented the patrolman from using
his revolver
When half a mile had been covered
the men reached the railroad freight
yards, where many cars were stand
ing. They lodged about the cars until
they had eluded their pursuers.
Assistance arrived within a short
time and a thorough search of the
yards was begun. knowledge that the
cracksmen were armed caused delay
in the search.
The robbers were finally located in
one of the empty cars and the battle
followed One of the men opened fire
The attacking party were under the
leadership of Chief of Police John
Law The men were finally overpow-
cred and taken to the Grundy county
Jail.
They broke into the post office
through a rear window. The broken
shutter attracted the attention of the
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 Norris to investigate the
case. 1t is thought the men will be
known to the Chicago police

No Marship for Evansville.

Washington, March 2-Evansville,
Ind, is not to have the honor of a
visit from United States warship
after all, as the gunboat Wasp, a con-
verted yacht of $50 tons displacement,
which the citizens of that town ex-
pected to make cruise up the Ohio
river, will not do so for the present at
least. The plan has been abandoned
because of the difficulties of navigat-
ing a warship of even such diminutive
proportions so far up the Ohio river,
and the Wasp raised her anchors at
Cairo Wednesday and proceeded down
the Mississippi river on her way to
the Gulf of Mexico.
