Northwest States Seem to Be Easy
"Pickens."
With $4,000 in currency stolen from
registered letter pouches within the
last week, postoffice inspectors in
Washington and Montana are having
the severest problem Of thefts to solve
they have faced In number Of years.
The first theft was OF $4,000, taken
from pouch on the depot platform at
Havre, Mont, a week ago Sunday.
This money had been sent from bank
In Helena to bank In Joplin. Mo. The
pouch was cut open.
Theft number 2, more perplexing
than the first, was committed last Fri
day night, presumably between Seat
tie and Wilbur, Wash, or in one Of
those cities. This was $4,000 in bills
Of small denominations. It is said the
money was sent by the Dexter Horton
bank in Seattle to bank in Wilbur.
Up to last night, according to report,
not the slightest clue had been found
as to where the money went.
The third theft, $1,000 in cash, was
committed last Sunday, and this money
disappeared between Great Falls and q
small town in Montana. This was also
sent from one bank to another.

dashed out on the platform in flying
wedge formation.
The women seated around Miss
Kenny tried to get between her and
the policemen SO as to give their lead
er chance to escape, but the police
men scattered the women about like
nine-pins and caught Miss Kenny just
as she was preparing to leap from the
platform.
The scene in front Of the music hall
was of the widest description. Wom-
en- fought and struggled furiously and
their torn dresses and the rips in the
policemen's tunics testified to the
fierceness Of the scrimmage.
