tickets We're called for the ladies' pro-
duced two, of the excursion form prop-
ery dated, but not signed, before the local
agent at Savannah. The conductor IN
formed them that as they had not signed
them before the agent they must paw
their fare. They declined to pay unless
assurances We're given them that the
money would be refunded them. These
assurances were not given, but they We're
told to pay or get off the train. When the
train was stopped for this purpose, the
ladies' again rendered their tickets, which
ried off the train without the usual cour-
tesies and assistance prOffered by train
men, and with but barely enough time
to remove their baggage. The nearest
station to where they were put off was
half a mile distant and they proceeded
that the next train did not stop there. Sa-
Vannah was twelve miles away, and the
ladies' We're anxious to get to their friends.
Their only recourse was TO walk to the

The Prisoner Trying to Help Allen
Get Part of the Reward.

Get Part of the Reward.
Atlanta, Ca. May 19.-Gov. Atkinson,
who returned to his desk from New York
yesterday, issued a proclamation to-day,
increasing the rewards for Tom Delk and
Tom Langford, the Pike county outlaws,
to $3.50 each. Old man Taylor Delk who
is still in the police station here, has
patched up a peace with his son-in-law,
Joe Allen, for the purpose of making
a fight for the reward that was out
standing for his capture. Several weeks
ago Allen was negotiating with the At
lanta authorities for the capture or sur
render of the Delks. He had them come
he or the purpose of a conference,
VIII le was to give the police the tip
and nave them captured, but the plan
fell through. A few days later Allen mar
ried one Of the Delk girls. Instead Of
increasing the confidence of the Old out
law in him, this step caused his brother
in-law to turn against him, and when
the Atlanta detectives finally took up
Aliens plan and succeeded in making the
capture, ii looked as if he was shut clean
out of the reward The old man is anx-
iOus TO make a stake TO pay his lawyers,
however, and has come out in a state
ment giving Allen credit for the capture.
Based upon this, Allen will make a fight
for the reward and divide with the old
man if he should get it.
