BANDITS UNSUCCESSFUL.
Attempted to Hold Up ard Rob q
Town In Texas.


Texarkana, Ark! April 27-An unsuc-
cessful attempt was made yesterday
to hold up and rob the little town of
Queen City, Tex, sixteen miles south Of
Texarkana on the Texas & Pacific
railway. Five men went to the
Single mill Of c. L. Cabe, which was
in charge of Night Waterman Ira
King. They covered him with pistols
and disarmed him. A tramp named
Woods was sleeping in the mill. The
men told King and Woods that they
We're going to tie them to the railway
tracks, capture the night policeman
and rob the town. King and Woods
were taken to the track, but while the
robbers were getting ropes ready they
broke away. Woods was shot twice by
the robbers and is dead. King was
shot in the head. but will probably res
cover. The shooting attracted fthe at
tention Of Constable ]. M. Powell, who.
hurried to the scene with Clyde
Strange. Upon their arrival a pitched
battle ensued. The officer emptied
two guns at the robbers and after ex-s
harsting his ammunition was forced to-
retreat. Bloodhounds are now on the
trail Of the robbers. Aside from being
shot King and Woods were! badly beat

A new bond of sympathy between
the public school children of the Unit
ed States and their newly acquired
brothers and sisters of Hawaii was Gre
ated by ceremony which recently
took place in that far-off group of is
lands. The occasion was the raising
of the stars and stripes over the Kau-
pakalua school. The pole from which
it flies is no slim staff of pine or
spruce, but towering palm tree; yet
the flag is the same which iutters
over the thousands of little school,
houses in this country, and it was
raised to 1.-The sound of the same Amer
lea" and "Star-Spangled Banner" and
with the same exercises. Let us hope
that it will represent the same loyalty
and devotion there as here.

A discovery of much interest was re-
Gently made at Concord, Mass. There
was found in the attic of the house in
which Thoreau lived quantity Of lead
pencils stamped ''Thoreau and Son." It
was then remembered that the great
naturalist and his father once earned
their bread by the manufacture of such
pencils. Those that were discovered
the other day are naturally in great de-
mand and have probably fetched high
er prices than were paid at any time
to the makers themselves.
