WOMAN FRUSTRATES
PGSTOFFICE RORRERY
Granite Falls, Wash. An attempt by
three bandits to rob the Granite Falls
postoffice was frustrated by Mrs.
Florence Carpenter, wife of the post
master, who, clad only in her night
clothes, engaged in a running gun
fight with the bandits, driving them
off after more than a, dozen shots had
been exchanged. No one was Injured.
Postmaster Carpenter said thero
was an unusually large amount of
money in the postoffice vault, includ
ing payrolls for a number of logging
camps in the vicinity. The bandits,
who had jimmied the front door of
the building, had fired one shot of
nitroglycerin in the vault when they
were discovered.
Mrs. Carpenter was awakened by
the first shot and from a window in
her house, 100 feet distant, saw one of
the bandits maintaining a lookout in
front of tife building. She armed her
self with a .22-callber pistol and rush
ed to the front porch, opening fire.
Two other men joined the lookout and
returned the fire. They fled, pursued
by Mrs. Carpenter, and made good
their escape.
