Which Proved Unsuccessful.
The Firmness of Cashier
Aduir Saves the Bank.
Special to The HERALD

Special to The HERALD
Little Rock, Ark, Feb. 25-
A special to the Gazette from
Warren says: A daring but
unsuccessful attempt was made
to rob the Merchants and Plan
ters bank at this place this af-
ternoon about 1885. The men
entered the bank and two Of
them walked behind the. en-
trance where Mr.. Adair, the
cashier, was seated in CONVEX
sation with Messrs. Goodwin
and Leon. Their first salutation
was "hold up year hands" Mr..
Adair sprang for his pistol
when the men commenced
shooting. Mr.. Goodwin receiv-
ed what is thought mortal
wound and Mr.. Adair was shot
through the shoulder. He re-
turned the fire and evidently
wounded one of the men, for as
he road off blood was seen
trailing to the ground.
The firing of pistols startled
the citizens who came running
from all directions and the rob-
bers were forced to retire with
out accomplishing their object.
As they left town they kept up
a fusilade of shots, going out
northwest of town.
Their plans were well laid
and no doubt the bank would
have been looted had it not
been for the prompt action Of
Cashier Adair.

is in a critical condition, Mr..

ROBBERS CAUGHT.

Wichita, Falls, Tex, Feb. %.
-1:20 a. M. report has just
reched here that the robbers
surrendered to the citizens and
rangers. 1t seems they sur
rouded them in n thicket and
commenced shooting into it
from all sides. This was a
little too uncomfortable for the
robbers so they tried to cross
a wheat field into another
thicket when their pursuers
commenced firing on them. This
was getting too warm for them
SO they surrendered. One of
the robbers was ST OF in the
back. ! his was done when
they were tried to get out of
town. 1t is believed here that
the prisoners have been taken
to Henriette for safe keeping.
Several hunded citizens are on
the street and murmers are
heard on all sides that death
is too good for the men who so
fiendishly murdered Cashier

OF THE
COLONIAL COUNCIL
FOR ST. GROIN
Conclusion Of Meeting of27h January 1925

The Governor would only say, tlmt if the
Policemen do not look after the illegal bust.
ness said to be carried on, and prevent it. he
shall vorv soon know the reason why. because
it ia thsir duty to do it. AS to the manner of
distributing the part of the fine, which NAV
fall to the police, he remarked that it was the
duty Of the whole corps 10 detect illegal
sales; but some are more fortunate than
others, and some of the officials in. the police
have their duty in such places. that thew
never can make discoveries. 1t would there
fore not be right to make alterations on this
point. Some can carry on their illegal trade
for a time without being discovered. but
though it is the duty of the Policemen 10 de-
teot, still it is also a duty on private indiyi.
duals, especially those who suffer from the
evil, to give information and help the Police.
AS regards the limit Of 5 gallons he could
but repeat what he had already stated. that
if good reasons be shown for giving that mn
he would not hesitate but he was also stilj
of the opinion, that whatever he the limits
fixed, there will always be attempts at eva.
sions. and if We fix another limit now. next
wear it might be found necessary to raise
that. and so on. Fit be 50 that Rum is sold
in the manner explained. there might be rea-
son to increase the tax on the sale thereof
On the other hand it is impossible TO prevent
the giving away of rum on estates, as is Gus.
tomarv when extra work is done by the las
boursrs. Any how, to the man who wants to
trespass the laws, it is positively immaterial
whether the minimum he 5, Is or 20 or what.
ever figure we like. If we look at the last
case that occurred in FIederiksted. it Will be
. seen that it was a rather good fine, and far
exceeds the minimum for a first transores-
sion.
2hd Member for Frederiksted's Country
District (Blachr Ood) said he bad been vely
much interested by the remarks that had
fallen on this matter to-day. AS merchant
and planter. s l of the Ordinance and the
prescribed limits suited him first rate. At
