DanVli.1.k. 1'a.. .Ian. 19.—Yesterday
inoriiiiitf a |h>Iiceman saw a marked
mail ill the tlrxtrway of the post otlice
here and drew a revolver, but before
lie could tire the stranger slipped
a ron ml the corner. The policeman
rushed to the homes of Officers Dave
Kissell aud John Van Oilier and gave
tlie alarm.
In a few minutes the three officers
ran to the post office nml met the
stranger emerging from the door fol-
lowed by k companion. The two blew
a loud piercing whistle and t>egan fir-
ing revolvers at the poliee. who dodged
behind the lamp posts and returned
tlu* Hre. Ten shots were exchanged
when the robbers were reinforced by
three more men. Kvery one was well
armed and a battle followed. The
l>aiidits formed a -square and hugged
t lie stone steps leading to the building
where they were able to escape the po-
licemen's bullets.
Numerous citizens soon appeared
armed with weapons of every descrip-
tion and the tiring liecame so warm
that tbe robbers concluded to retreat
to the river bank. They discharged
three volleys at the excited townsmen
and ran eastward, each side exchang-
ing shots.
\ mm (tilger who led the pursuers sud-
denly threw tip his hands and fell, shot
through the lungs. About the same
momentary halt of the pursuers man-
aged to reach the Susquehanna river.
A row boat was secured and the
...... outlaws, after placing their
wounded companions at the bottom of
Imat, commenced sculling in the
direction of the Northumberland shore,
l ite pursuers, now a force of 100 infti-
iated men. secured as many boats as
,ible and an exciting chase began,
revolvers and rifles cracking at every
turn, but no one was hit.
< hving to their good start the out-
aws succceded in reaching the opposite
le before the foremost boat contain-
ing tbe pursuers was half way across
and when the pursuers torched land
the men were in the mountains, which
lieing scoured on all sides by the
sheriff's posse.
It is thought that the bandits will
seek a cave in order to, hide their
wounded companions and to throw the
police off the scent. I11 the event of
their being surprised, another desper-
ate Inittle will occur. The sheriff de
.lams that he will bring back the
slayers of Van (iilger dead or alive
A HUI 'ME NT A 771 'K FACTS.
"Single statehood or none,*' demo-
crats of this territory and those at
Washington are making themselves
ridiculous by aspersions on the wealth,
population and possibilities of Okla-
homa alone. While the republican
party wants single statehood, it does
not stultify itself and slur Oklahoma
by declaring that it is not now tit for
statehood Jar more than the debt-
ridden plains of New Mexico ami Ari-
zona and the Kuropean plan of mar-
riage out in I'tab. New Mexico is
close to a million dollars in debt and
Arizona owes about half a million,
while Utah has a debt of almost as
much. To shut off the debt making
proclivities of the foreigners who pop-
ulate New Mexico and Arizona con-
gress was compelled to insert a clause
in the I uited States statutes prohibit-
ing any territory from making a debt
exceeding one percent of its assessed
value, and any county or township
from making a debt of more than four
per cent of its assessed value.
Ok'ahoma has a debt of less than
thirty thousand dollars, and the state-
ment of the territorial auditor shows
tnat when the taxes are all paid iu
(^lahoma will not owe a dollar. This
territory has a population of fully
three hundred thousand people, and
property to the value of at least forty
million dollars: a larger population
ami a much larger property valuation
than eithef New Mexico or Arizona,
and has as large a population and as
large a property valuation as has
1'tah.
Therefore, to say that Oklahoma
alone is unfit for statehood, while tbe
parties declaring this, clamor for the
the face of it. It is j«st about such a
position as you can expect democrati.-
partisanship to take: for with a demo-
crat the people are nothing and spoils
and power everything.
The postmaster general s report for
the year IsM gives some figures which
will surprise those who do not under-
stand that Oklahoma is a- far ahead of
the other three territories seeking ad-
mission as diamonds are ahead of mud.
That report shows that an execess of
postal expenditures from receipts was

We arc tired of the apparent belief
of a lot of democrats in this territory,
that it is necessary to adVceate
single statehood on political grounds
and yet magnify the achievements and
possibilities of tlie present Oklahoma.
t us have a let up on the "single
statehood or none" idea. Let us cry
aloud in one voice for single statehood
if we can get it, and have statehood in
any way we can get it, and tlic quick-
est way we can git it- Once out from
the bondage and tyranny of territorial
existence. Oklahoma will take strides
compared to which her best strides
