REMINISCENT OF
 THE JAMES GANG Bold Robbery Committed in a
 Store at Jackson ABOUT S2OO WAS SECURED Cashiers Hands Were Tied and He Was Then Placed In His Own
 Vault and the Doors Were
 Closed Upon Him.
ABOUT S2OO WAS SECURED

Jackson, December 1-(special) )-About o'clock last night w. W. Clarke, manager and cashier of the firm of w. G. Bevill & Co. at this place, was held up, bound, gagged and robbed by a mar giving his name as Emory, who had been a sort of lunkey for the cook att Loxley's camp, eight miles north of this place. He made his appearance in the neighborhood about he came.
 Yesterday morning he entered Bevilrs store and purchased a complete outfit of clothing, requesting that the articles be laid aside, and he<would go to the camp, draw what money was due him and return for his purchases. He procured a convey ance from the livery stable, made the trip, and returned after o'clock D. m. The stores had all closed when he appeared at the side door of Bevill's, but Mir. Clarke, who was at work on the books, admitted him, and the purchases of the morning were turned over to him. He requested a bill of the goods, and while MT. Clarke was making it out Emory drew his pistol and cautioning him not to make an outcry at the peril of his life, commanded him to put his hands into a slip moose already pre- pared behind his back. Obedience was the only course left open to MT Clarke. who was then gagged and blindfoded and his feet tied together
 Inside the Vault.
 The latter work was done inside the big vault, where the victim had been taken by his captor and where obeying the orders of Emory, he had opened the money draw CT of the safe. Luckily nearly all the cash had been shipped away, and the robber se- cured only about $130 from the drawer in addition to thirty dollars taken from MT. Clarke's person. He closed, but did not lock tine door upon the cashier.
 Returning to the store, Emory took pos- session of the goods he had previously pur- chased, adding to 1t a good double barreled shotgun, and departed by the side door.
 MT. Clarke managed to work one of his hands into a pocket containing knife, which he with much difficulty succeeded in opening, and his hands were soon freed. He gave the alarm and soon party of excited citizens were about the scene of the rob- bery but the fact was not generally known until today.
 One hundred dollars has been offered by w. G. Bevill & Co. for the capture and re- turn to Jackson of Emory, the thief, who is a white man about g years old, five feet six inches high, weighs about 13o pounds, dark complexion, and both upper eyeteeth are of gold Information leads to the belief that he is hieing eastward, and will attempt to cross the Alabama river at Gainestown, though his actions may be but ruse. Officers are in pursuit

Shooting Affair at Baldwin.

In a cOlOred restaurant at Baldwin
Monday Eler Mitchell was shoot twice
by Amos Burke, one ball glancing just
above the right eye, the other entering
the right shoulder, apparently only a
flesh wound. Burke tried to escape by
running and shooting back at his pursu-
ers. He was stopped, however, by a
chance shot from Winchester rifle in
the hands of John Whitehead at a dis
tance of about 250 yards. Whitehead
said he only aimed to stop him, and
aimed at his legs, and, sure enough,
struck about six inches above the knee,
giving Burke a very painful wound.

The Denial Is Made.

Our correspondent, DIR. p. A.
Mcmillan, does not quote The
STAR correctly, nor state our posi-
tion rightly. We have not said
that because man was a Demo
crat that he could repudiate his
promises. The opponents of Capt.
Dimick in Brevard county have
been following false prophets in
accepting the statements as gospel
that have been hurled at Capt.
Dimick by a few disgruntled poll
ticians in Dade.
1t will be seen in another column
of this paper this week that Capt.
Dimick, at the primary in West
Palm Beach, handled his would
be defamers without gloves" He
said, $50 far as he personally was
concerned, he believed the people
of this precinct (West Palm Beach,
and throughout Ddde county, knew
him well enough to make 1t un-
necessary for him to pay much at
tentiOn to taLsehOOds that had been
circulated" This is a denial right
from Capt. Dimick, himself, of the
charges made against him.
If anyone has taken the pains
to carefully read the articles in the
Tropical Sun they would see the
disguised attempt to place Capt.
Dimick in a false position, especi-
ally with the Brevard people. 1t
was sought to make it appear that
Capt. Dimick opposed the railroad
commission act, when in fact, he
such action as would have
made the commission law a farce
and travesty on our constitution
al law. They sought to make him
out a Republican by the so-called
evidence of Mr.. w. II. Gleason, and
which is denied by two letters sent
by Mr.. Gleason's son to Capt. Dim
ick, which are published below.
Gracious only knows what they
have not said about Capt. Dimick.
Because he has not deemed it
necessary to answer every campaign
article published against him some
of the people of Brevard are appar
emily anxious to pass snap judg-
ment against him so as to try and
defeat his nomination. But he will
be nominated if his friends and
supporters are loyal and stand by
him, as we expect them to do, at
the Fort Pierce convention.

Gleason Denies Statement.

The following letters are selfex-
planatory to the people of Brevard

the senatorial question, as they un-
qualifiedly deny the accusation

being a Republican:

A Narrow Escape.

Eugene Dearborn, of Cocoanut Grove,
had narrow escape from a broken leg
last week. His little daughter Dora was
driving his pony colt when the animal
ran away, Dearborn was in the rear of the
wagon holding on to buggy which he
was taking home. The sudden spring OF
the pony sent Dearborn head over heels
out of the wagon, hurting his leg. The
pony ran home dragging the wagon and
child over a cross fence near the house,
but luckily Dora escaped unhurt, and
she is glad she held on to the lines to the
end

An Exciting Bear Hunt.

While out hunting near Bayard on
Saturday Messrs. F. f. Ponce, James
Bradbury and Nathan Hood, had the
good fortune to get on the trail of an
immense bear. After a very exciting
chase and fight with the dogs, the bear
was finally brought to hay and shot.
After being shot twice, the bear started
on another run; and it required another
long chase and three more loads of buck
shot TO finally kill him. The bear was a
large and ferocious one, and the stock
owners are glad to know that there is one
less such animal in the country.

Miss kena Fries, of Orlando, one eve
ming last week was struck by very
small rattlesnake near the front porch of
the family residence. As she was reach
ing down to pick mp pet cat, which
seemed in some trouble, she felt Il slight
sting on her right hand. On bringing a
light a very small rattler about three
inches long, evidently but very recently
Matched, was discovered. No incon-
venience followed, however, as the snake
was too young To intlict any injnry.

the purpose of forming an association in
the county of Hillsboro and making de-

If something is not done the results will

They have raised a campaign fund
and will charter a special train to

The Chinese Trouble.

The Chinese minister at Wash
ington, WI Ting Fang, is doing his
best TO excuse mis- government for
the actions which have taken place
in China of late. He is not in a
position to know just all that has
happened since the troubles there
began, but he feels sure his govern
ment is not to blame. He puts the
situation like this: The Boxer
movement was regarded by the
government as of little consequence
when it first began to attract atten-
tion. The government felt that it
was powerful enough to put the
Boxer element down should it hap
pen to assume alarming proper
tions. In reality the movement
was far greater than the government
thought it was. 1t was so popular
that many soldiers of the imperial
army Joined it. When it was too
late the government saw the mis-
take-that the anti-foreign senti-
ment was general and strong-and
that the rebellion was more power
full than the government.
According to Minister Wu's view
the government is practically in
the hands of the leaders of the Box
er movement. He is confident that
the government will command the
situation, and that law and order
will soon be restored.
Possibly he is right in that view
of it for the leaders of the Boxer
movement are evidently alarmed
BY the victory of Tien Tsin they
see that the time is not far distant
when they will have to face a large
and thoroughly drilled army, and
that punishment will be meted out
and presumably to them. There
fore they want to make peace, and
it is probable that Ii Hung Chang
is now depended upon to bring
about peace between the powers
and China.
Minister Wa seems to think that
some consideration ought to be
shown TO the Chinese government
because of the difficulty it has in
maintaining order among So vast a
population. Some parts of the
empire are so thickly populated.
he says, that it is practically i'm
possible for the people to get enough
to eat. That is why the country is
full of rowing bands of robbers. The
people get hungry and they go
about in bands robbing their more
prosperous neighbors. Many of
these desperate characters are sup
posed to be in the Boxer move
ment.
Itis but perfectly natural that the
Chinese minister should put forth
as good story as possible for his
own government, all of which may
or may not be true, but no matter.
it is quite sure that China will have
heavy damages 10 pay to say the
least for the OutrageS that are said
To have taken place
