Thrnsher Meade Arrested for Blow
ing Up II POstoffce.
Meridian, Miss, January 1.-THE post
office at Enterprise, Miss, was blown up
with dynamite Monday night and the per-
petrator escaped after obtaining con-
siderable amount of stamps, money orders
and cash.
1t is now supposed that the robbery was
committed by Thrasher Meade, one of the
| most desperate criminals in the country.
Meade was arrested at Mobile and brought
back to Enterprise today, but not until
after Il desperate fight. A large quantity
of postage stamps, blank money orders and
S1l3S in cash, stolen from the safe in the
Enterprise postoffice, was recovered.
Thrasher Meade has criminal record that
is hardly second to that of the notorious
Rube Burrows. For nearly ten years he
has infested the railroads OF Mississippi
and Alabama and is known to have been
intimately connected with band of negro
robbers in Chicago.
Meade broke into the postoffice at Ack-
crman, Miss, IN the latter part of 1896

Aberdeen, He sawed his way out In De-
cember, 1886, and was next taken to Kos
ciusko, Miss. While there he formed a
tcopspiracy with TRUSTEES who were allowed
inside the cage. and they overpowered aud
choked Sheriff Mcmillan and escaped with
six others.
Meade is known to have been implicated
In five train rohbe'ies and seven express
rotheries. He has escaped from twenty
one jails ard once from the Alabama peni-
Tertiary since he began his criminal ca :
reer.
The postoffice department and express
companies offered large rewards for his
arrest and the officers who effected his
capture will receive $1,000.
