the Editor Of the Dispatch:

To the Editor OF the Dispatch:
Campbell. in his History of Virginia"
page "a, speaks OF fort built by Cap
tain John Smith. in 1908. 'as a place OF
refuge" in case of being compelled TO
leave Jamestown. and concludes that this
fort was the same as the "Old stone
House" in James City county. on Ware
creek. The record says:
HE Smith built fort as place OF
refuge in case of being compelled TO re-
treat from jamestown, on a convenient
river. upon a high. commanding hill, very
hard TO be assaulted and easy Of defence.
But the scarcity Of provisions prevented
its completion
There can be no doubt but that Camp
bell and other historians are all wrong
In placing Smiths fort in the county OF
James City Tradition still points 10 a
site on Grays creek, In Surry county, as
the place Of Smiths fort. And there Is
an entry near the first part of Volume
of the General Records OF Surry, still pre-
served Ia the Clerks office, showing that
a place known as Smiths Fort was the
nroperty Of Mr.. Warren so long ago as
lGl7 or 1913. This entry, made some forty
wears only after Smith built fort some
where. together with the fact that tradi-
lion here has long designated the spot
ON Gray's creek as being the location OF
the fort. are enough, l think. to settle
the question of the locality OF the de-

Hundred Dollars.
OMAHA, Sept. "A band of twelve
masked highwaymen held up carriage
load of people In an Omaha suburb and Sc
cured several hundred dollars. There were
four persons in the carriage who had been
in the city enjoying themselves. When
but a short distance from Benson, and
near clump Of trees, twelve figures
emerged from the shadows as If rising from
the Garth and surrounded the carriage.
The inmates of the carriage were told to
get out and line up. The four men lined
up, standing on their tiptOes with their
hands above their heads One of the rob-
bers searched each man in turn, taking
everything of value and casting the plum
der upon robe that was thrown on the
ground. When this was accomplished
the four men were told to throw their hats
on the ground with their coats, ordered
into the rig and told to drive away as fast
as they could.
When the men reached Benson they
alarmed the neighbOrs, who formed a
posse and started for the scene of the rob-
berry. The hats and watches were found
lying on the robe where they had been
thrown. Nothing else was recovered.
