She is the daughter OF Prln-

left an orphan when she was 8 years

misfortune in many ways, she was
less hampered BY court etiquette than

paid TO the matter, as it was supposed to
be the work Of gang OF, boys taking IN
the town, which OF late has been q COM

the people OF New Albany realize what
had actually taken place.
When tho Kansas City, Memphis q

sent to Sheriff Robbins here that the
train had been held up BY three masked
