YOUNG HIGHWAYMEN.

rested the Following Night.

Shortly after dark last Fridav night
a couple OF youths rode up to the
store of J. b. Smith, I'm Deleware
Bend, in the extreme northwestern
part of this county, where they
alighted from their horses and upon
entering the store called for some
cove oysters. John Cowser, the
clerk, prepared two cans OF oysters
for them which they ate with a rel
ish. After eating and asking the
price of the goods, one of them made.
"a dive for his pocket book, az abe
same time asking the clerk IL he
could change a $50 bill. The unsus-
pecting clerk remarked that he could
and took from the shelf a shot sack
containing about S25 in silver which
he poured on the counter and began
to count out the change. lie had
not proceeded far until he was noti-
fed by the young man to hand il
all over to him, at the same time
covering him with pistol. Without
hesitation he gave up the money ard
was then marched at the muzzle Of
the pistol to a bed near by where
MIR. J. b. Smith was lying. While
this was going on the other robbcr
had his pistol on Smith, who upon
being ordered to shell out, gave up
what money he had, amounting TO
$500 in currency. The robbers then
unhitched their horses and mount
ing, left la the direction Of the terri
tory. shortly after their departure
the alarm was given and a posse Of
citizens organized aud started ia
pursuit. They followed the trail OF
the fugitiyes TO Red river and there
learned from the ferryman that only
a short time before he had ferried
two men answering the description
OF the robbers across to the nation
side. The posse continued in Pur-
suit and arriving at Ran, a little
town in the territory about eight
miles from where the robbery was
committed, lost the trail. They made
their business known to few relia-
BILE citizens at Ran who organized a
posse and arrested the parties at their
home only a mile and half distant,
about dark Saturday evening. The
robbers gave their names as George
Ernst and Ed Holmes. The formo T
looks to be about 20 years of age ard
the latter who is the smaller of the
two does not appear to be more than
Is or 10 years old. After their cap
ture they were brought TO Delaware
Bend and turned over TO Constable
Jim Johnson who, assisted by John
Cowser, one Of their victims, brought
them TO Gainesville where they were
committed TO jail about O'Clock
this morning. They were identified
as the men who committed the rob-
berry by Mr.. Smith and his clerk,
John Cowser. Only ten or twelve
dollars in money was found on their
persons at the time Of their arrest,
however, il is said some Of their re-
lations with whom they were living
were spending money quite freely

shin honors, but has always disappointed
his friends. 1t Is doubtful IL the style Of
his play is capable of much II any more
improvement, and the strong net players
generally succeed In downing him. IL Is
possible, however that he may reform and
learn TO volley, in which case he would
become one Of the most formidable players
In the land. He was ranked seventh last
year and has been In the first ten almost
every year for the last four or five.
There are besides those mentioned a
younger generation OF experts In W. Cor

Budlong Of Providence and stephen G.
Millett and Edwin p. Fischer, both of New
York, by whom championship form may
be reached this season. All were ranked

the first ten. Fischer is perhaps the most
promising of this lot, and with n little
more experience he will take lot Of beat
ing from any Of tho cracks before he ac-
knowledgcs himself defeated.
To this list OF experts should be added n
host OF younger and even more ambitious
players, from whose ranks the champions
OF years TO come must be developed. With
such n wealth Of material at hand Ia
choose from there could not be better

It should not be supposed that Miss
Burt is devoid Of ability. She has lots OF

her line on the American stage, but her
extraordinary luck In having had very
good parts in very successful plays is q
matter of frequent comment in theatrical
circles. She Is said to be meditating

Laura Burt was born In little town In
the isle of Man. Her father was an Eng
Iishman and her mother a Welshwoman
of good family. The first few years OF her
life were spent In n small village with an
unpronounccable name In her mothers ma.

age, her parents came to America, and che
of course with them. They settled In I'LL

TO Cincinnati to live with relatives.
