5 MASKED BANDITS
HOLD UP TRAIN AND
LOOT BAGS Of MAIL

= OKLAHOMA CITY, Aug. III
(By the Associated Press.)-FlVe
masked bandits looted the mail and
express cars of Missouri, Kansas
and Texas passenger train No. rs
near Okesa, Okla, soon after mil
night last night, and escaped with
about twenty registered packages
after overpowering members of the
train crew.
Less than $500 was taken by the
bandits who held up the katy pas
senger train near Okesa last night,
it was estimated late today by l.. A,
johnson, chief postal inspector here.
No registered mail pouches were tax
en- by the robbers. Johnson said.
The loot consisted largely Of postal
savings stamps.
Posses directed by the sheriff of
Usage county were securing the
country around Okesa in search OF
the bandits who fled from the scene
of the holdup in motor cars in
which accomplices had waited for
them.
In all, it is believed. the band
numbered a dozen.
B. D. Towers, fireman OF the
train, was in Pawhuska hospital
today with probably fractuL ed
skull, resulting from a blow on
the head When Towers showed re-
sistance one Of the bandits struck
| him with a heavy pistol.
Engineer Miller and Mail Clerks
c.. 3. Weiss and w. Burch were
beaten by the bandits but sustain
ed no serious injuries.
The train was south-bound from
| Kansas City to Oklahoma City.
Passengers were not molested, and
many of them slept through the
holdup.
The holdup occurred one mile
south of Okesa in Usage county,
which long has been a haunt OF a
daring band of bank robbers, cap
tanned by AL Spencer. the most
notorious outlaw of present-day
Oklahoma. In his retreat in the
Usage hills Spencer has defied cap
ture.
1t was presumed that the ban.
dts boarded the train at Bartles-
vile. some fifteen miles north Of
Okesa. They rode in blinds and did
not appear until the train APP
preached the spot selected for the
| robbery. The engine, tender. ex
press and mail cars and tvs
coaches were cut off from the re
mainder of the train and the ban.
dts forced the engineer to pro
coed about a quarter of a mile down
! the tracks.
The engineer and the fireman
and two mail clerks were beaten
! into submission and then the ban
dts ransacked the mail and ex.
! press cars. Only registered pack
ages, presumably containing money
| shipments, were taken.

Estimated at $4,000

GLOUCESTER. Mass, Aug. 21.-
The rum pirates who boarded the
Nova Scotia schooner J. Scott Han
kerson about fifteen miles off Rock

about $4,000 in cash from the craft,
the police said today they had rea-

Evidence showed, they added, that
liquor had been sold from the
schooner in large quantities for
sometime past to rum running boats
from shore and they were inclined
to think that the pirates were Gus

ARIZONA WILL PLACE
~. STONE IN MONUMENT

Another attempt is to be made tc
place an Arizona stone in the Wash
ington monument. Several years age
a chunk of petrified wood from the
Petrified Forest was dumped on the
platform of the Santa Fe station at
Adamana for shipment to Los An
geles for polishing and inscription,
but the freight bill was found too
large fer the money available, while
the cost of preparation would be a
still more costly feature. The ma
terial, chalcedony, is extremely hard
and it can be handled at few points
in, the United States.
Now the work is to be undertaken
by the Daughters of the American
Revolution through the state regent,
Mrs. Hoval A. Smith, of Warren. She
has secured 500 from Gen. ]. G..
Greenway, $40 from Governor Camp
bell and S65 from the Bisbee Luncheon
club and hopes to fill the vacant niche
in the monument some time in the
coming year. 1t is understood the
Arizona stone is the last to come.

people now are of the opinion that
the time has come when she should
discourage the use of the expression
Thinning camp" and insist upon her
rights to designation as city. There
even has been famed to flame long
smoldeYing resentment against some
of the local nomenclature, even though
through these names Bisbee has Sc
cured a degree of distinction among
western communities
Bisbee hes in Mule pass. Her main
thoroughfares are Tombstone canyon
and Brewery gulch, and the latter is
flanked by o. K. street. Quality Hill
has contracts in Zacatecas canyon,
Chihuahua min and Laundry hill,
while Tintown is a suburb. Laundry
hill already is in open revolt and It's
residents, through the chamber of
commerce, are protesting the name,
with suggestion that Garden hill'
might be substituted.

GOVERNMENT WILL GIVE
AID TO PROSPECTORS IN
HOLDING MINING CLAIMS

The prospector or miner who has
located claims and is proceeding in
good faith will be fully protected by
the government. That is the sub
stance of a decision recently rendered
by William Spry, commissioner Of the
general land office at Washington,
according to word received by John
r. Towles. register of the U. S. Land
Office at Phoenix.
Under the act of Dec. 29, 1915,
commonly known as the stock raising
homestead law, it is possible to make
entry of mineral lands, the minerals
being reserved to the United States.
In some cases, homestead appli-
cants under the act have attempted to
make entry of lands embraced in valid
mineral locations. In order to pro-
tect the miner and prospeetor a per-
son who applies to make entry under
the stoek-raising act must not only
waive his right to mineral IN the land,
but must swear that no part of the
land is covered by recorded mineral
claims that are being worked.
In one case now before the local
land office, a homestead entrylman is
being contested by the government on
the charge that at the time the ap-
plication was filed part of the land
embraced in the application was en-
braced in duly recorded mining claims
and that assessment work was being
done on said mining claims.
The effect of Commissioner Spry's
decision is that the mining man is en-
L. IL
cation notice if he makes a valid dis
coyery. No one can take the surface
from him any more than they can
take his mineral. If there are any
miners or prospectors who are unable
to stand the expense of a contest with
the homesteader who have filed appli-
cation subsequent to the mineral loca-
lion, such miner or prospector should
lay his case before the chief of the
field division, at Santa Fe, N. M.

GOVERNOR CAMPBELL
GIVEN MOTOR CAR BY
HIS MANY ADMIRERS

of esteem, friends of Governor Camp

new automobile. Members of the
governors official family and close
friends made up the party which met
by appointment at the governors
home to wish him q merry Christ
mas and smooth riding on the high
way to even higher attainmentS.
Called into the front yard to greet
his friends, the governor suddenly
realized that he was the unsuspecting
victim, as Rudolph Kuchler, state land
commissioner, stepped forward and in
a few well-chosen words presented
the governor with a new Hudson
speedster. Mr. Kuchler in expressing
the hope that the governor might have
smooth riding to the successful
achievement of every future desire,
spoke feelingly of the associations
and friendships formed during the
governors administration, and ex-
tended the greetings of the season to
the chief executive and members Of
his family.
Although deeply touched, the COVER
nor was equal to the occasion, and
in kind with an appropriate
of appreciation. He re-
ferred to the first Christmas of his
the loyal friendships
formed then and in succeeding years,
and predicted that the same degree of
devotion to duty and the same meas
ure of service would win notable sue
cess in private pursuits.
