Wolves in SOUTHAMPTON

Reports are that Southampton county
Va, as we'll as Hertford county, n. o.,
are overrun with wolves. Several hun
dred COWS, sheep aud hogs have been
missed in the past month, and 1t has
been discovered that wolves are respon-
sible. A number Of the wolves have
since been killed and five caught alive
in steel traps. Those who have seen
them describe the animal as a remark
able one with extraordinary. large limbs,
resembling those Of calf feet heavily
padded and as large as those of bear
the eyes and mouth Of wolf ears and
general appearances those Of hound
dog.
This is the first appearance of wolves
in a hundred years in this section OF
Virginia and North Carolina, and con-
sequently speculation is rife as to their
origin. The theory is that the wolves
were driven out of Dismal Swamp by
fires. and these animals. which are more
like dogs, were born to a wolf which es'
caped from a CIRCUS in that neighbor
hood about seven years ago.

the Republican National Chairman

Hell need lots more than that. The
Republicans cannot get enough money
in this country to defeat Bryan. He'll
be elected as sure as the sun rises
daily"
Senator Platt makes the prediction
that Mckinley will carry New York
State and that Odell is certain Of cleo
tion.
'I think" he said, I'VE have good
chance in Missouri and that we will
carry Maryland and West Virginia in

TOPEKA JoE's PALS.
All Of the Gang in the Tolls save Himsc

All Of the Gang in the Tolls Save Himself
The New York Herald records the
fact thst Martin Hawley, a confederate
Of Topeka Joe, who recently escaped
from the Richmond Jail, was arrested
in that city.
The Herald further alleges that Haw-
ley was in Richmond while Topeka Joe
was laying his plans for escape. If this
be true, it seems quite probable that
the thief on the inside received assis-
tanoe from the thief on the outside.
Hawley, Rapley (alias Topeka Joe)
and Batter who is now in jail at Wood
stock, Shenandoah county. charged
with burglariziug the strasburg Bank,
formed a gang of the most dangerous
bank burglars in existence.
1t was suspected by the detectives
that Hawley, with J. b. Rspley. alias
Topeka Joe, " and others had robbed
the Peninsular Bank. at Williamsburg,
Va. Of 50. tO8 on May "a 1900 The
citizens Of Williamsburg were first
shocked by an explosion, and surrounded
the bank building with posse intent
on capturing the burglars. Rapley and
Hawley placed the proceeds Of the bur-
glary in their pockets, opened the door
Of the band, and stepped out on the
front stoop with drawn revolyers.
IF any man attempts to stop us, "
Hawley said, addressing the crowd Of
citizens, "we'll shoot him down. Stand
back 20
With these words the burglars walked
through the crowd unharmed. In the
crowd was a young fellow named Howell,
who was subsequently found by Dough
erty. 1t was to the latter Howell told
his remarkable experience which subse-
quently was proved to be true.
II heard an explosion, Howell said,
land ran 20 the bank l saw a stran-
ger, q great. big fellow, and 1 said.
What's the trouble here?' Before ]
knew what happened 1 was grabbed
and carried into the bank and bound
hand and foot was lying near the
afe when Hawley said, Are we going
% teach that fellow our business Not
on your life, the other man replied.
Turn him over, and then was turn.
ed over on my left side. As 1 was lying
originally could see them fixing the
.glycerine to blow open the safe.
Then Hawley said: Don't blow until
we get this poor idiot away, or he'll be
hurt TheD, Howell continued,
''Hawley picked me up and dropped
me out of a window and over fence,
where l was found by my friends ,
Hswley is a strspping big fellow, with
remarkable strength. -
Post Office Inspectors James and Jacob
arrested John Butler. alias Frisco
Slim, " who Is 6 feet and inches in
height, on August l1th, for robbiug
the post.office at Rockaway, n. ].
Butler is now in Jail at Woodstock,
Va, awaiting trial. He was an asso.
ciate Of Hawley and Rapley. as was
Edward Carney, alias Charles MoOsbe,
alias Hutch. who was arrested by In
spector Jacobs on May 9th. He was
with Butler, one Of Hawley's and Rap.
ley's partners, in the robbery of the
Strasburg (Va Bank. Hawley and his
confederates never carried any burglars
tools. Their only baggage was rubber
bag, in which they carried nitro.glyc-
crime. manufactured by themselves, and
a few small drills Their heavy imple-
ments they stole from railroads.

The September term Of Orange conn

crowd was present and the day practi-
oally given up TO politics. in which the
Democrats had things their own way.
They were addressed by Hon. John
+. Rixey. Il. T. Lee. Jr, and
General James G.. Field The speaking
began in the couit.house. but was ad'
iourned to the open air, owing TO the
capacity Of the build being inadequate
TO accommodate the crowd. All three
of the speakers delivered ringing ad-
dresses and were frequently interrupted
with applause. The speaking began at
/ 80 p. m. and continued until after 4
p. m. The meeting was presided over
by COL George 5. Shackleford. The
Republicans did not have any speakers
present. and among the rank and file Of
them it created no little disappoint'
ment.
In court there was but little business.
The only case tried was that Of Charles
Walker, colored. who was given two
years In she penitentiary for burglary.
He was indicted. tried and sentenced
in less than two hours.
