election and sent Turpie to the Senate as
his successor. A. T. keightly, of Greencas-
tie, and Capt. J. H. Allen. of Terre Haute,
have signed a statement in which it is set
forth that the convention was packed by
the Democratic managers. 1t is asserted
that District Chairman Snyder was in
league with the Democratic managers and
that the basis of representation was fixed

Anderson. Youthful Freebooters.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
ANDERSON, Ind. Sept. 6.-The arrest
last night of Thayer Thomas, Ernest Hunt
ard Franklin Burton on the charge of steal
ing horses and driving them to death or
turning them loose has placed the Anderson
police on the trail of another gang of boy
robbers that will probably prove as nOtori-
Gus as the famous billie Blue" gang
Thayer Thomas was one of Blues close
companions and arrested year ago
for robbing mail boxes and is said to be
the leader of the gang. Before the boys are
sent to the Reform School it is thought that
they will be "sweated for the story of
several big store robberies which have oc-
cured in this city 1t is thought that fully
one dozen boys under ten years of age are
involved in the operations. They are said
to have stolen thirty horses during the last
month. Almost all of them have been found
in the country but two or three are stil
missing and several have been almost killed
The three boys under arrest are of the best
families in the city.

cases at Bear Creek, Copiah county, have
been pronounced not yellow fever by ex-

authoritatively heard from. All the spread
there has been, with the exception of the
three cases, up to to-day has been within
radius of ten miles in Lafayette county.
Marshal county has one case, east one mile
from Waterford, thoroughly isolated In
other words. there has not been, according
to the opinion of the best physicians, such
a spread. and in so many different places,
as to warrant the belief that the infection
is at all extensive from an original source.
The fever could not have selected two more
unpropitious places in which to spread than
Taylors and Orwood. Both are small VIII
lagos, high and dry. Up to to-day there
have been twenty-nine cases at OrWood, five
at Taylors and one at Waterford, making
a total of thirty-five in all. Out of this
