Bob nonehartx.sL Luck.

From. the WafkinsviHe lGa.) Enterprise
Years ago the man whose name heads this
article lived in Clarke county and Is well
remembered by many Of our Oldest citizens.
Bob Dougherty was a man OF parts, gener-
Gus 10 a fault and highly popular. He was
a lawyer. and in his younger professional
life he practiced in the justice courts. So
much were some of the justices attached 10
MIN that they decided against him with the
greatest reluctance.
On one occasion he conducted case in a
Justice court in Clarke county where a dis
distinguished lawyer Junius we will call
HIM from Athens was employed against
him, Junius made the opening speech in
the case which impressed the court very
favorably, and in closing his argument he
asked:
''Now how does this strike your honorp
That's strong-sure-mighty good" was
the reply.
Dougherty next addressed the court in a
forcible speech, concluding as follows:
81 dare say brother Jenius' argument
doesn't seem so conclusive to this court
now.n
mot so much so-not so strong, Bob, " re-
piled his honor.
"Oh yesl-of course" rejoined Junius.
.sThe reason brother Dougherty's speech
strikes the court so forcibly is simply be-
cause it has not been answered; just listen
to me now three minutes and viii knock it
into a cooked hat"
After speaking a while Junius exclaimed:
"Now brother Dougherty's argument is
scattered to the four winds, your honor"
"a little scattered-but sometimes it
pears like to this court that you have cor
nered Bob aud then again l think Bob has
cosnered you"
Junius considered this intimation of the
court as boding disaster and concluded in a
spirited defense of his client after which
the court picked up its walking-stick and
placing it in a horizontal position on his
fore-fnger, said:
"Gentlemen, Pm just so" Qbalanced)-
''now the question is which will get it"
Laying the stick on the table in front of
him and leaning forward with his hands
folded he said:
This court are with Bob Dougherty."
"What' exclaimed Junius, ''d;dn'5 you
| just ask who would get its"
"Yes-but as luck would have it Bob got

Atlanta Journal: -Four years ago man
landed in Atlanta with $3.50 in his pocket,
and a chest Of tools which were made In
1913. The same man today is worth over
$500, 900. The fortune was made on Two
patents-an axle for a wagon and sew
ing machine. The man to whom l have
reference is John NJ. Brosius. Mr.. Brosius
was born in Roanoke county, Va, and Is a
machinist and locomotive engineer by
trade. For years he has been making In
ventions, and has on hand now over q
hundred different articles which he has
patented. Nothing, however, brought
him any money until he invented

called tor a policeman. When an Officer
arrived the thief's hand was still in MIR
Brosius' pocket. When the policeman
walked away with the prisoner, Brosiu
laughed and said: "That fellow was foo

Doings at Washington.

In the examination of Col W W. Dudley,

most every question put to him. He claimed
that his reticence was enforced by the advice
of counsel.
The special congressional committee on

ported that there is not ten continuous feet

President-elect Harrison and party arrived
in Washington on the 26th, when the train
rolled into the depot, President-elect and

with the hundreds of ladies and gentlemen

warrant would be ready in an hour. Attor-
ney General Webster, for the Times, said no

would also have TO decide whether or not he

A California Train Robbery.

On the receipt of the intelligence recently OF
train robbery at Pixley. a special car was
at once ordered to carry officers to the seen
OF the robbery, and in a short time about
ten officers were on the ground where the
tragedy had taken place. pool of fresh
blood was found several yards from the
track, where one OF the unfortunate paesen-
gers had been shot down. There wereinGica-
tions that horses had been htched to one of
the telegraph poles near by. Two tramps
were found who told the following story:
We were waiting for the train to ride out
to Pixley and noticed two more men who
were said to be waiting for the train We
went up and commenced talking to them
They acted in a very peculiar manner. It
wasso dark that we could not tell exactly how
they looked, but think both were good-sized
men, Both wore oyercoats, and wore white
shirts. One had his clothes strongly per-
tuned; both had shotguns or what appeared
was good place to get on the train. We
told them. and asked them where they were
going. They said to Deano to shoot jack
rabbits. We asked them what was the mat
ter with shooting jack rabbits at PiXley?
One OF them said he had q ranch at Delano
just then the train came along and the men
jumped on the front part OF the engine.
One OF the tramps continued
Something seemed to warn me that all was
not right. AS the train passed, a third man
jumped from somewhere and boarded one OF
the passenger cars. felt uneasy and walked
over to the depot and told some one what
had happened. was only laughed at but
it was not long till we heard what happened.
The tramp who was riding on the platform
of the baggage car said:
The train commenced to slow up when we
got short distance beyond Pixley. When it
had nearly stopped discovered
and jumped off. When they com.
menced shooting ran and jumped wire
fence and laid down in the field near by l
heard some one say My God. am killed. y
when the shooting occurred, and then Iheard
an explosion of some kind. When the robbers
had gone l slipped out and got among the
passengers. One of the men shot had his
side torn to pieces with buck shot. The train
backed up to Pixley, when one of the passen-
gers claimed he saw man fall at g, distance
from the track. The train went back and
we searched for the man. We soon found
him. He had evidently been instantly killed
The shot entered near the temple. He had
a ticket in his hat for Poso.
From the people of Pixley and other
sources it was learned that when the train
was stopped, that as soon as the express
messenger found out what was the trouble
he barred the doors of the car. but the rob.
bers threw a bomb under it and gave him
such a shaking up that he was glad to open
the doors. The amount taken is variously
estimated, some placing it from $4,000 tc
100000. The men are searching the coun.
try, though there is no clew as to the direc.
ton taken by the robbers.
