He worked some time getting up evidence
on Star Route frauds. Living @ he
did, in a Star Route country, he had
considerable knowledge OF the transac.

out Of Eureka, where seven mails q week
were paid for and only three mails weekly
were received. When the Investigations
were completed and the reports OF the
special agents received, he concluded that
ii would avail saving of two or three
million dollars year, but there was no
evidence upon which any one could be
convicted IL prosecuted. When the inves-
LEGATIONS were completed and before prose-
cutions we're begun, he went to Nevada.
Soon afterward he net an agent OF the
government there who said he was
serving warrants in the Star Route
cases, but had none for witness. Later
witness went to Boston, then to New York.
At the latter place warrant was served on
him to appear in the Dorsey Brady trial.
He protested and complained about being
subppnaed at New York, saying process
should have been served upon him at his
home in Nevada, as he would be cut out OF

cerning His Finances

WEsIBoRo, MASS, March The reports
regarding the relations Of L. K. Travis, su-
perints ndent OF the Baptist Sabbath school,
and charming young lady member OF his
Sabbath school class, have lately become so
widespread that the Baptist society are
about to investigate the truth Of the reports
in circulation.
Since Wednesday Travis has been missing,
and as the young lady has also disappeared
from her home there is little doubt that
they have gone together. She is viva
cious, fairy-like brunette of eighteen, OF
good family, has been carefully educated,
and has always taken deep interest in re-
ligIous matters.
Travis is a handsome man Of forty-two,
with iron gray hair and mustache, and has
been Superintendent of the Sabbath school
for some years past. lie has also had
charge Of an interesting class OF young
ladies. all of whom were very devoted to
their handsome teacher. Travis is skilled
lawyer, we'll known throughout Worcester
County, and has always been prominent
citizen of this town. haTing held several
responsible town othces. be has pretty
young wife and one child.

visit TO a friend in the neighboring town,
with the understanding that he was to
Join them later. Shortly after the wife re-
ceived telegram from him stating that
he had missed the train, and in letter
which came he requested her to remain
with her friends until he came for her.
The wife, thinking there might be some.
thing wrong, returned to Westboro, but
| only to find her house forsaken by her
| husband, who had taken his clothing with
| him. Inquiry revealed the fact that the
young woman bad left Westboro the same
| day with the understanding that she was
| going TO Boston TO see a sister, and 1t is
now supposed Travis went to Boston and
| from thence to New York City, but
whether the young lady accompanied him
is not known.
Before taking bis departure Travis dis
| posed of his law business in West6oro,
with bis library aud other fixtures. 1t is
reported that these were sold to West
boro party, one Den6eld. This property
was worth, worth, it is estimated, s., 500,
but report says it was disposed OF for 500.
There is also a runner to tie effect that
Travis has $1,000 in money belonging to

SOMERSET, KY, March Word has
reached here that q regularly organized
body Of men in the Harrison District hold
regular meetings in a church for the pur-
pose of consummsting plans for comPell-
ing certain parties to leave the State. The
parties are George and William Carter and
William rroxtill, who were acquitted some
time since of the murder Of Young Harvey
Rassel. A very bitter feeling exists towards
them in the neighborhoed OF the crime,
where belief in their guilt is pretty gen.
eral.
A notice to quit the State has been put
into the hands OF the trio, signed by l5O OF
the organized body, who threaten violence
if they do not leave at once. But the Car
ters and others who have received like no
tices refuse to go and, with the advice Of
attorneys, say they will shoot every man
whose name is in the notice that approach
es them in manner the least suspicious.
As the parties are known TO be desperate
and determined men q tragedy may end
the trouble, Troxtill is a relative OF the
Troxtill recently lynched in this couaty
for outrageous assault.

READING, PA, March "A battle with
revolvers at close quarters took place in a
large newly discovered cave about eight
miles above this city to day between Off
GERS Shat fer and Sharp on one side and a
runaway prisoner named John Gallagher
on the other. Gallagher OF late has been
figuring prominently in police circles, and
was in Jail some time ago to answer the
charge of having criminally assaulted a
Young girl named Biumm. To-day the
girls mother swore out warrant against
Gallagher sor criminal libel, charging that
he sent her obscene and threatening postal
cards. The officers went to Tuckerton to
serve the warrant, and as they approached
a quarry where Gallagher was working he
saw them and ran, closely followed by the
police. The chase continued for three
hunuted yards, until finally Gallagher dis
appeared in a cave. The officers jumped
iu also, and found themselves in a large,
dark Cevarn three hundred yards loug.
They had no sooner entered than Gala
CHER fired at them, the ball striking a rock
nearly back of them. The flash was nearly
fifty feet away. The officers dropped on
their knees and returned the fire. A brisk
fusilade followed, Gallagher firing rapidly
but with bad aim, owing to the utter dark
ness. Sharp continued firing while
Shse fer felt his way on hands and knees
until near enough to Gallagher, when he
knocked him down and disarmed him. He
was then brought to the surface and taken
to Reading and locked in Jail.

ing the precautlon to close the combination
OF the big safe, or waiting the return OF
the other attaches OF the office, who had
gone for lunch. The theory advanced by
the treasurer of the company is that the
robbery was accomplished by sneak
thief. Two doors lead into the CASH
ier's office from vacant room, one
of the which was found sjar on the paymas.
ter's return. The paymasters room is To-
Gated in the general offices OF the company
on the second floor of the building, and
was constructed especially with view
to guard against intrusion and theft, but
in this instance the most ordinary pre-
cautions had been ignored. The ex.
plSnation given by the discharged
paymaster is that be supposed
the vacant room adjoining his office was al
ways kept locked but in this case it was
proved otherwise. This door was close to
and adjoining the vault IN which the safe
was located. When the pNymaster left the
room the cashier of the company and an
assistant who occupy practically the same
room we're there, but they sit at desks
some what removed from the vault and in
an angle which partially conceals the en-.
trance to the vault, so that any one enter
ing from the vacant room could have
accomplished the robbery without their
Knowledge. The paymaster assumes the
robbery must have been committed by
some one having complete knowledge OF
tie room and the habits of its occupants.
