from Idaho, died at his apartment
here. The senator had been suffering
for several months from heart trou-
Bile, and grave concern had been ex-
pressed over his condition for week
or more. Many of Senator Heyburn's
tribute his death to an overstraining

the last congress. The senator had
been in failing health for several
months, and about the middle of the
last session his physician ordered him
to take a rest Mr.. Hepburn went
into the mountains of Pennsylvania,
and toward the close of the session
came back In much better condition.
Mr.. Hepburn, however, had the rep
utation of being one of the hardest
working, and also one of the most
stubborn men in congress Tie Sat
urday night when congress was to
adjourn found Mr. Hepburn on his
feet bitterly opposing the Penrose
resolution providing for sweeping

SAFE IN POSrOFFICE AT o'FAL-
LON, ILL.,. BLOWN ACROSS
A STREET.
BANDITS ESCAPE WITH $500
Bold Citizen Fired Upon by "Look'
out" and Woman and Girl Tele-
phone Operator Are Threat
ened With Revolvers.

st. LOUIS, OCT I9.-W ME 20 resi-
dents of the town were held at bay,
five robbers, working deliberately,
blew the safe in the postoffice at
O'Fallon, ILL.,, at a. N. Friday and
escaped.
Two lookouts kept the spectators
covered" with revolvers while the
other three men applied SO heavy a
charge of nitroglycerin to the safe
that the door was blown across the
street, taking with it the front Of the
postoffice building.
| Arthur Baker, who was asleep in a
barber shop chair across the street
| from the scene of the robbery, was
struck on the head by fragment of
the safe door and injured.
While one of the lookout was warn
ing Miss Ethel Willhite, telephone
operator stationed directly above the
postoffice, to retire from the window
where she was watching proceedings,
the other guard was offering to fight
revolver duel with Charles Schuetz,
baker, who had been awakened by
the explosion and had gone to the
scene Schuetz did not ACCEPT the
challenge.
Robber Threatens Woman.
Mrs. Henry Scherber, who lives
near the postoftice, attracted by the
explosion, opened a window in her
home and peered out. One Of the
guards saw her and aimed his re-
volver at her head. do you want to
keep your head on your shoulders?"
he asked her. She lost no time in
slamming down the window.
The postmaster, W. A. Koenigstein,
stood by, helpless, and saw the trio
| blow the safe.
The men worked calmly and delib-
erately, while the residents, huddled
together in a frightened group, were
powerless to make any eff,rt to stop
them.
After the bandits had completed
their work they warned the spectators
against following them and walked
away, escaping over the right of way
of the Louisville & Nashville railroad.
No attempt was made to follow them.
The sheriff of the county was notified
by telephone and went to OFallon
from Belleville in his auto. With dep
uties he now is searching the vicin-
ity of O'Fallon for some trace of the
five men.
An examination of the safe showed
the men secured $500 in cash, about
$400 in stamps and block of money
orders.
The fact that this is the fourth re-
cent postoffice robbery in the vicinity
leads the authorities to believe all
have been the work of the same gang.
! On each occasion the same tactics
were pursued. Entrance in al in.
stances. has been effected through a
rear door
On October II the postofficc safe
at Piasa, H., was blown and money
and stamps amounting to about $500
taken.
! The same night the /postoffice at
Shipman, near Piasa, was robbed and
a large sum distracted from the safe
after it had been blown.
Wednesday night the postoffice at
Otterville, near Shipman, weG en-.
tered. 1t is believed the same gang
| then proceeded to O'Fallon.
