Package Containing Several Thousand Dol.
lars Secured by Negro.

lars Secured by 3 Negro.
MARSHALL, Tex, Dec 26.-As Ex-
press Messenger A. F. Mccullough and
Neardall were transferring their business
from the Texas and Pacific passenger
train to the New Orleans Pacific train,
Mccullough was knocked down by a
negro who snatched pouch from him
and ran. Neardall fired on the robber
as he fed, but failed to stop him. He
was pursued by officers as quickly as
they could be notified. but he made his
escape. The robbery was committed on
the depot platform under the glare of
electric lights while there were probably
100 persons standing around. Parties
who saw the robbery differ as to the
identity of the man. the majority saying
he was a very light mulatto, while
others assert that he was a white man.
The express people do not tell the
amount secured, but it is estimated at
So. 600 to SS, 900.

The work of inves stigating the tunnels
of the outfall sewer is about concluded

cent.
The result of probing into the work
under the Mackey & Young contract
has been to thoroughly establish the
fact that under one inspector upon that
work some bad construction was al
lowed. The testing of the work showed
that there was no bad work under other
inspectors, with one or two slight excep-
.tions.
The sewer committee will probably
have formal report from the city en-
gineer today with reference to the mat
ter, setting forth in detail all the work
done under zach OF the inspectors.
This will De shown by a profile map
in which the work of each inspector is
shown by colors. The completion of the
outfall se Her is now a question of only q
short time, and then it will be formally
opened as contemplated heretofore by
the sewer committee.
City Engineer Dockweiler said yester-
day that the construction work on the
sewer has been emnently satisfactory
with the exceptions referred to, and
that he believes it will stand the test of
use and time in good shape.
The bad work done ON one section of
the tunnel has been torn out and put in

Notes.

F. E. Hunter and j. II. Fox have
leased from the Gold Bar Mining COM
pany portion OF the Chippie running
claim, and have begun development.
They are now taking out some trst-cass
rock, and it looks very much as If they
bad made q strike. A wel-known
prospector, who was an entirely disin
terested party, made the statement
early in the week that they had the
prettiest little prospect he had ever
seeu.
Patton & Tsggart have men at work
on the ledge that Mr.. Patton discovered
laet week. The ore shows much free
gold and is remarkably rich, the best
by far of anything ever discovered in
camp, and. if it goes down, it will be
nothing short of bonanza. Taking
this and the vein found by Fox q
Hunter on the property Of Messrs. Pat
ton & Taggart, these gentlemen can
reckon that they have had remarkably
good week.
The Gold. Bar Mining company on
Tuesday put crew of men at work de-
veloping water at Willow Springs, which
is about three miles from Vanderbilt.
and almost 200 feet higher. There is
no doubt that large amount Of water
can be developed at THAI point, and as
soon as one inch is assured the company
will lay a pipe from the springs to
Vanderbilt, and will prepare to put in
mill at the Gold Bronze mine.
Patton & Tsggart at present have
teams at work hauling large quantities
of ore to keystone and also to Marvel,
from which latter place it ia shipped by
rail to different pointe.
