BD WRONG SAFE:
MISSED SI,000 CASH
Guthrie, Okla., Nov. 8.—Because
they cracked the wrong safe the men
who dynamited and robbed the Farm-
ers' State bank at Marshall yesterday
morning overlooked seven thousand,
dollars In cash contanied in another
vault. The robbers secured only
$130 in one and two dollar bills
The five robbers escape! white the
people of the little town were were
piling into the streets and making
for the scene of the explosion. One
rode a horse and the other four dis-
appeared in a buggy. Their trail was
followed to a point three miles north-
west of town and there lost.
The outlaws did not get away un-
scratched. The towns people opened
fire on them and a sort of running
duel through the dark streets brought
the whole village to the doors.
Four shots were required to blow
open the vault. While two men stay-
ed inside the building to complete
the Job, three of the desperadoes
stood outside the bank keeping up a
continual volley to intimidate those
who ventured into the open.
A hardware merchant, whose home
is next to the bank, was held up and
as he hurriedly retreated inside ills
house a shot pierced the door as he
slammed it closed.
Cut Telephone Wires.
The telephone operator was also
stopped and the wires cut to prevent
outside communication. When the
two men rushed from the bank the
five ran down the street discharging
their guns. When they started for
the country, the people followed, re
plying to the shots.
Guthrie officers were notified and
Under Sheriff Bob Myers took every
means to notify farmers in the sec-
tion of the country in the direction
taken by the fugitives. Officer My-
ers stated last night that a partial
clue had been found ,but would not
discuss it further.
Brings Rest to Guthrie.
President L. D. Hearn of the Mar

with seven thousand dollars that was
In the safe not tuched. The Farm
ers' State bank was recently consoli

Hearn feared the robbers might re-
turn for more booty and his bringing
the currency to this city was a pre-
cautionary measure.

FIB STATE OF OKLAHOMA
FOR MUM
Washington. D. C., Nov. 8.—Presi-
dent Roosevelt has announced his ap-
pointments for the new state of Okla-
homa.
The appointments were made after
the Oklahoma delegates had reached
an agreement and submitted a list
of their recommendations to the pres-
ident. The appointments are as fol-
lows:
Western District.
Judge, John H. Cotteral.
United States Attorney, John Km
United States Marshal, John Abe
athy
Eastern District.
Judge, Ralph E. Campbell
United States Attorney, William
regg
United States Marshal, Orosvenor
ter.
When the president lifted the cover
Oklahoma appointments he dls
losed tlie slate which had already
n printed since John H. Cotteral
asa greed on as a compromise, with
he exception of Gregg for United
States attrney ino the eastern dis-
trict.
Strong Dickerson influence here had
•ft the impression that the president
ight appoint him after giving Camp
11 the judgeship. It developed that
e president has never thought
changing his mind after his original
decision on Gregg
Besides the Oklahoma federal ap-
pointments announced i« that of Silas
I. Reed of Oklahoma to be district
judge of Alaska. Judge Reed, who
as backed by Governor Frantz, will
succeed Judge Wlckersham.
Governor Fran ti said that immedi-
ately upon retiring from the gover-
norship he will settle at Enid and
engage In the real estate arid promo-
tion business. He denied that he
would enter Into the services of the
coal trust as has been reported.
The president desires appointees to
get ready for assumption of duties as
speedily as possible to start off the
judicial machinery of tiw? new state
on November 16.
NOT GUILH"
SAYS GRACE
Sheriff Grace stated to a News re-
porter this morning that he Is not
guilty of endeavoring to thwart tha
will of the people by remaining in of-
fice after statehood, as reported. On
the eontrary, he says, the Idea that
there might be a hitch in the law or-
iginated In the minds of certain sher-
iffs who hail been re-elected to office.
"Hill." said he, "If the law gives us
the benefit of another year, we are
certainly entitled to it. If the law
says we can have it, we will certainly
take it."
The sheriff also suggested that any-
one interested mlKht peruse the sec-
tion of the constitution relating to
county officers,

Guthrie, Okla., Nov. 8.—That its
service in Oklahoma is adequate, that
there is a conspiracy existing among
its former employes and that the case
prepared by the assistants in the de-
partment of justice is too vague for
consideration are a few of the asser-
tions emphasized by the Western Un-
ion Telegraph company in answer to
an alternative writ of mandamus is-
sued by Judge Milton C. Garber of
the district court at the instigation
of Special Assistant Attorney General
T. R. Clift. The reply was filed at
Enid and sent to the attorney gener-
al's office yesterday.
The company alleges that the writ
was never served; that neither Okla
homa Territory nor the attorney gen
I oral is a party in interest and neither
has the right to maintain action; that
' the only persons interested are those
whose messages are said to have been
delayed and they have a remedy In
the law.
Again it Is asserted that the motion
for the writ wan not made on affidavit,
as required by law. The information
drawn up by the department is char-
terized as "not specific or contain-
ing sufficient, facts" on which to base
the action.
As a last ground the answer avers
that if it has failed to supply ade-
quate service the condition was the
result of uncontrollable circumstances
namely the conspiracy on the part of
the striking telegraphers. The com
pany cannot afford to pay the wage,,
recognized by the union, it is declared,
ind by way of conclusion the defend-
ant views the entire proceedings as
"spite work."
No Date for Hearing.
A hearing on the answer will be
had before Judge Garbe-v The date
has not been announced. If the court
decides the company's explanation
sufficient, he will dismiss the case. In
the other event a peremptory writ of
mandamus will be issued. The com-
pany failing to answer this a fine for
contempt will be made.

Canton has a gun he calls his trus-
