LOOKING FOR INDIAN MONEY
Which Was Not On Board.—Scene of
the Robbery Was On the 101
Ranch, Near Bliss
Station.
Ponca City.—The night southbound
Santa Fe passenger train was held
op two and one-half miles north of
Bliss. Percy A. Norman, mail clerk,
was shot to death, and the safe in the
express car blown open and robbed
By fix bandits.
Accor. ing to the members of the
train crew, the bandits obtained a few
packages from the express safe, but
xio money. It is believed that the
Bandits anticipated that money to be
paid the Otoe Indians at the Red Rock
agenw would be in the express safe.
According to train officials, the money
was not in the safe.
Norman, the mail clerk, was shot
through the body with a Winchester
Tide ball, the bullet entering beneath
the right arm-pit. Norman had opened
the mail car door when the train
came to a halt to see what was the
trouble.
Two bandits boarded the front of
the baggage car while the train was
in Ponca City. As it neared Bliss
they climbed over the tender and
poin ed revolvers at Van Record, en-
gineer, and A. Hamilton, fireman, com-
pelling the engineer to stop the train
“ear a camp fire on the east side of the
1-ack. Four other bandits left the
camp fire and surrounded the an*
gine.
Four Guard Train Crew.
Conductor Ed. Deutcher of Newton,
Kan., and members^ of the train crew
■wsre then compelled to take the de-
tached engine, mail car and baggage
car about two hundred yards south.
.Four of the robbers took charge of the
train crew while two entered the ex-
press car and blew open the safe. |
While the holdup was in progress,
no passengef attempted to leave the
train. Nearly all of them were asleep
and those who were awake thought
-the rifle shot was the explosion of a
torpedo warning tne train to stop at
the next station. The passengers
'Jere not disturbed.
Posses Organize.
When the train arrived at Bliss, of-
ficers at Perry, Newkirk and Ponca
City were notified. Posses came in
automobiles and by a special train
from Newkirk. Automobile tracks
near the place where the train was
Baited caused officers to at first be-
lieve the men escaped in motor cars.
A search along the track farther
north revealed a place where spveral |

Arrested.
Chicago.—Charles C. Healy, chief of
police, was indicted on two charges in
returns made in tho criminal court
here. The first indictment accuses
him of malfeasance and the second
names the chief, William Luthard, his
secretary and Charles T. Essig, secre-
tary of the Sportsmen’s Club, as con-
spirators in a plot to nullify the anti-
gambling laws.
Chief Healy’s bonds were fixed at
$20,000. The bonds of Luthard and
Essig were fixed *t $10,000 each.
AH three of the indicted men re-
fused to discuss the indictment. Tho

fore Chief Justice Olson when in-
formed of the indictment.
In tho first count, Chief Healey was
accused of willful and corrupt omis-
sion of hi3 duties as chief of police
in permitting the operation of gamb-
ling rooms, allowing the sale of liquor

der to restore saloon licenses which

CENTRALIA, OKLA., BANK ROBBED
Craig County Institution Held Op For
$6,000.
Centralia.—Four bandits, one of
them with his face blackened, held up
and robbed the First National bank of
Centralia of approximately $6,000 and
escaped in an automobile in which
they had entered town.
Two oi the three men who entered
the bank building were armed with
revolvers and the third carried a
rifle. The man armed with the rifle
stood guard near the door while two
•went behind the counter. The fourth
man remained in the automobile.
The bank officials and two custom-
ers were forced to lie on the floor
while the money was gathered up and
then licked in the vault. They were
released a few minutes later by a
passerby.
A posse was organized and tracked
the bandits twelve miles. The trail
became lost and the chase was aban-
doned. Officers in northwestern Ok-
lahoma, in southwestern Missouri and
Kansas were notified to be on the
lookout for the bandits.
--------- of the
League to Enforce Peace will be per-
fected Bometime this winter. This
league had its birth in this country
on June 17, 1915, at Philadelphia, and
has as fnembers many of the promi-
nent statesmen, educators and* eco-
nomists of the country. It is inter-
national in its scope and the basis for
branches in the principal neutral na-
tions of the world has been laid.
W. R. Boyd, Jr., of Kansas City, Mo.,
was in Oklahoma City this week gain-
ing information relative to starting
the work here. Mr. Boyd was with
the national chamber of commerce un-
til September when he took up this
work. He is executive secretary of
the southwestern district of the United
States.
Mr. Boyd said that he will select
three men of this state soon to head
the Oklahoma branch. .They will be
appointed to the positions of state
chairman, state secretary and chair-
man of yie state executive committee.
Following the selection of these of-
ficers it is planned to chose an execu-
tive committee composed of one per-
son from each of the congressional dis-
tricts; a state committee consisting
of one citizen from each county, and
to effect an organization in each coun-
ty with one citizen from each voting
precinct.
When the Oklahoma organization is
well under way, Mr. Boyd says that
ex-President William Howard Taft
can be secured to come here and make
an address. Mr. Taft is president of
the American branch of the league
and has lectured in public on practic-
ally no other subject than this for the
Past year. Secretary of War Baker
has also delivered addresses before
different branches of the league re-
cently Both Mr. Taft and Secretary
Baker will speak before the Kansas
City branch November 15, and Mr.
Boyd says it will be possible to have
them come here following that date.

the progress was slow. On the 23d
they were opposite Cnidus, the south-
west point of Asia Minor, 130 miles
from Myra. September 25 they
entered the harbor of Fair Haven,
near the middle of the south shore
of the island of Crete. The fast day,
October 5, the day of the great atone-
ment, was observed in this place. The
question of going farther was a de-

they sailed for Fair Haven.

There died a short time ago a wom-

occupy, n conspicuous position in tha

lay in her charity—not the charity of

openhanded to those in need—but tha
broader charity that consists In leni-

has been established, according to
J. J. Clemer, local city marshal, who
returned to Ponca City following a
search hat extended through twenty-
four hours.
According to Clemer, several sad-
dles and blankets, together with food
wrapper in paper, were found in a
canyon on Charley creek in Osage
county, where the bandits had
camped. From the printing on the
paper the name of the merchant at
Fairfax wso sold the fod was ob
tained, and from the merchant the
names of tlie three of the men were
learned. Several jaded horses were
found near the camp, and it is be-
lieved that the bandits are now afoot
The arrest of one or more of the out-
laws is considered only a question of
a few hours, unless they leave the
