The announcement by the census
bureau of Chiekasha's population as
1910, showing a decrease of 141 in
the last ten years, brought a storm
OF protest from local people today
and some action in the nature of a
protest, asking a check on the fig
ures turned in by the enumerators
here is to be made.
J. W. Conner secretary of the
Chickasha Chamber Of Commerce
compiled figures this morning show
ing a big increase in public service
enterprises and institutions, indlcat-
ing that a huge error has been made
somewhere along the line in taking
or, announcing the census figures.
In 1910 the statement of Mr.
Conner shows there were two e,ec-
tric light companies here, and no
figures are available. In 1913, these
plants were consolidated, however
and the records show that in 1919
there were 1923 electric light sub
scribers here.
The figures of the electric light
company for August 1920 showed
1859 subscribers, or an increase of
931 since 1913 The Chickasha Gas
and Electric company's records
show that in 1910 there were 73O
consumers OF gas in Chickasha.
The records of the same company
for August 1920, show 9O6 gas con-
sumers or an increase of l76 fami-
LES, or consumers in that time.
The total bank deposits in 1910
the records show were $1,705,519.
Thes records Of the last call for
the statement OF the conditions OF
Chickasha banks this year, showed
total bank deposits of $5,915,523, or
an increase of $4,21O,OO4Aover 1910.
The postal receipts for 1910 to-
tailed $3i,6j5 according to records at
the postoffice
The postal receipts January L.
1920 showed total Of S45,09S or an
increase of $13,44S over 1910.
The school census of 1910 showed
a total of 1884
The school census taken last year,
showed a total Of 3,717. or an in
crease OF ,G83 since 1910
In view of the facts, Chamber o,
Commerce officials point to the i'm
possibility of a decrease in the pop
ulation, declaring that there should
be substantial increase instead

BAND OF CROOKS
ORGANIZED HERE
OFFICERS THINK
Amber and Verden Banks Robbed
Stores Entered and Automobiles
Taken in Past Month; No
Arrests Made.

Tfat band of crooks and outlaws
has heen organized in Grady county
an that this clan is responsible for
the two bank robberies, the several
store robberies and the automobile
thefts that have been staged here
during the past several weeks, is the
belief Of Matt Sankey, sheriff of
Grady county.
This opinion was formed by
Sheriff Sankey after the Amber
bank robbery Wednesday night. Out.
laws entered the bank through a
rear window and by using ice picks,
removed several bricks from the
vault and escaped with Liberty
bonds valued at $4,000, 1910 in cur
roncy and notes valued at $4,000
The notes were later found under a
cotton platform a quarter of mile
from the bank building.
Have No Clue.
Officers have found no clue that
they believe will lead to the arrest
OF the outlaws or the recovery OF
the bonds and money. They left no
evidence that might lead to the iden.
tity of the burglars, the officers
state.
This robbery was pulled off in a
manner very similar to the Verden
bank robbery of several days ago
officers say. The National Bank OF
Verden, was entered through rear
window and access to Liberty bonds
valued at $4,000 gained by digging
through the brick vault An investi-
cation by officers has proven futile
as far as apprehension of the guilty
parties or recovery of the bonds is
concerned.
Several store robberies and auto
mobile thefts have ben reported in
the county during the past several
weeks. Officers believe these robber
els are being staged by a well-or-
ganized band of crooks.
Blood Hounds Used.
Blood hounds were used in an at
tempt to locate the outlaws who
entered the Amber State bank. The
animals followed a trail from the
bank building to the cotton platform
where the notes valued at $4,000
were found; thence a quarter of a
mile down the Frisco right-of-way.
thence to a hay field and to the pub
lie highway one mile south OF Amber
where the trail was lost Officers
believe the thieves boarded an auto
mobile at that point
