One Hundred Armed Deputies Were

st. Paul, MINI, March ga special
from Chippewa Falls. Wis, says: "A
snow storm and a beated passenger train
were two circumstances that probably
prevented an encounter between a gang
of bandits and a hundred or more armed
deputies last night.
A few days ago the officials Of the om-
aha road received information that an at
tempt would be made to hold up the Du-
luth limited. The place selected for the
attempt is a lonely spot in the forest about
three miles north of Hawthorne. Had the
Duluth train not been delayed six hours
in a snow drift, the bandits would have
received a warm reception. The baggage
and mail cars were filed with deputies
armed to the teeth. 1t was the intention
of the robbers to flag the train, and just
as soon as il slowed up, two men were
to secure control of the engine, while the
rest of the gang rified the mail and bag
gage cars and went through the passen-
gers i'm the coaches.
The Omaha officials intended to allow
the bandits to flag the train, but would
call a halt there. When the train arriv-
ed at the scene of the proposed robbery,
the bandits had departed. Tt is under
stood one of the gang furnished the in
formation.

The light of the Southeastern League

four-club league, and its decision was the
death knell of the league. None of the
other league cities thought four-club

they thought 1t might be able to pull

The other clubs had gone to considerable
expense sending out advance money to
the players and other expenses which
they did not want to lose, and rather
than let the money go, they wanted to
start the league. knowing they would
make at the start.
The disarmament of the league is prob
ably the best thing that could have been
done under the circumstances. There is
no doubt that a four-club league would

MISSISSIPPI SUPREME COURT.
A Decision Handed Down of Interest
to Pythians.

Jackson, Miss. March s.-The supreme
court of Mississippi handed down an opln-
ion to-day that will be read with much
interest by all knights Of Pythlas. Mrs
Rosalie Stems sued the Supreme Lodge
for 5000, the amount of insurance carried
in this organization by her husband. Pay
mont was refused on the ground that Mr.
Stems had committed suicide. He had
first taken out policy for $1,000, but sew
eral years later increased it to 5000. His
first policy did not contain an anti-suicide
clause, but the second did. However, the
said suicide clause was made only a few
days prior to the time Stems increased his
insurance, and had never been published,
and the same had been made by a COM
mittee or board of control and not by the
supreme lodge. The court held that under
its charter the supreme lodge alone was
the legislative authority for its order, and
that the same could not be delegated TO a
committee or board of control. There
fore, the lodge is liable for the full
amount Of the policy Notwithstanding the
anti-suicide clause.

FEARS FOR THE FRUIT.
blooms Not Yet Injured, But severe
Cold VIII Cause Great Damage.

Cold VIII Cause Great Damage.
The cold snap that has been brought
down from the northwest is causing con-
siderable speculation as to It's effect on
the fruit crop. The spell of remarkably
warm weather for this season, which pre-
ceded the snap that was ushered In Sum
day, caused the fruit trees to do some
very rapid work In the way of blossoms
ing.
The peach trees are all in full bloom.
and hard freeze would certainly kill all
the fruit. Those who understand the fruit
business and watch the crop from the
first signs of spring till the trees have
been stripped Of their luscious products.
do not seem to fear the loss Of the crop
from this cold snap. 1t has not been Sc
we're enough to do any damage. Had 1t
been much colder yesterday and last
night than II was, the results might have
been disastrous, but. as the cold was un-
accompanied by rain, II Is not thought the
peach trees are any the worse for IT, They
can stand a much lower temperature when
the air is free from moisture than when
It IS damp. Frosts then settle In the buds
and the fruit is killed. The peach and
other fruit trees In the vicinity of Sa-
vannah are well advanced. If no setback
from cold is had, the indications are for
a very early crop. The trees in the great
peach section of the state about Macon
are said 10 be in full bloom. If the tenn
perature there has not been lower than
here there is no reason to believe that
the fruit has been injured. Damage to
the peaches in that section comes as
calamity. The industry in the neighbour
hood Of Marshallviile Fort Valley, Perry
and other places, has taken precedence
over all other branches Of husbandry, and
the failure of the crop takes away all
chances for the planter to realize any
thing on his years work.
Early vegetables that have been plant
ed are not injured. b ut few OF these
have been planted. and those so recently
that there are not many above ground.
The truck growers are not afraid Of this
spell They are hoping II will not be fol-
lowed by another more severe.

THE PLAsTERERs STRIKE.
Nine Hundred Chicago WOrkmen
Protest Against Reduction.


Chicago, ILL.,. March S.-The number of
plasterers and hod carriers who went out
on strike this morning against a reduc-
ton of wages was not as large as expect
ed, owing to the fact that a number of
contractors repudiated the orders of the
Employing Plasterers' Association, and
agreed 20 keep on paying the scale of
wages demanded by the plasterers and
laborers. According to the most anthem
tic figures obtainable, the trouble affects
only nine hundred men. The officers of
the striking organizations said to-day
that they had no fear or the outcome.
and that they expected the trouble would
be all over IN a day or two. The scale
which the Employing Plasters' Associa~
ton wished the men to sign provides that
plasterers' wages shall be reduced from
$40 to $3.50 per day, and the laborers
from 1920 to SIZE.
