|i1E.>E 7|aG STORY Of tn Arrest of Davis, Daily, Ryan and Null
 roy BELIEVED TO BE FOUR PRoFEs. SIGNAL CROOKS AND SAFE
 CRACKERS.
Strong Indications That They Com ritted the Recent Series of
 Burglaries Here.
HOW THEY WERE PICKED UP

The running down of four crooks by Chief Craig, of Pine Bluff, assisted by Detective Wick, of Little Rock, brief mention of which was made in the Graphic Monday afternoon, proves to be a most interesting story The safe crackers and burglars are Chas Davis, Frank Daily, Tom Ryan and John Mulroy.
 Ever since the series of burglaries which occurred here few weeks ago. when Gottlieb's jeWelry store, Lloyd's grocery store, the Cotton Belt and Iron Mountain cars, and Westbrook' s store were burglarized, the police force have been constantly at work on the case.
 Saturday MT. Craig received a tele- of Little Rock. from Cotton Plant, notifying him that some suspicious eahracters were in that locality, at- tempting to dispose of jewelry, knives, etc. By other information that was important to Mr. Craig, he authorized MT. Vick to arrest the sus- poets, and hold them until his arrival. They were promptly arrested and MT. Craig reached Cotton Plant Saturday night and took charge of them.
 On their persons were found a com- plete set of skeleton keys and a large amount of iewelry knives and razors. They were brought to Pine Bluff and lodged in the county jail and are being held.
 It develops that they were in Pine Bluff when the attempt to crack West brooks safe was made, and that they were arrested by the police depart ment suspected with that attempt. At least three of them were arrested here. but as no evidence could be ob- tained against them, they were turn ed loose When arrested at Cotton Plant they had on their persons the identical papers they had when ar vested here They were then posing ss umbrella menders. but they are aow thought to be four hardened and experienced crooks.
 They have letters and receipts on them from Chicago people and the police believe that further investiga- ton into their careers will prove that they are four professional crooks, and probaly badly wanted elsewhere.

THE SECRET MARRIAGE Of Mr. J. M. Will lkin>on and Mss Mary Hills, of
 Pine Buff,
  AT THE COURTHOUSE SATuR- DAY EVENING LEAKED OUT
 EARLY
There Were Objections on Part of Groom's Parents, Hence the
 Secret Wedding.
COUPLE WELL KNOWN HERE

Late Saturday evening nicely dressed couple walked into the county clerks office and applied for a mar riage license. It was granted them by the accommodating official forth with. The names and ages of the groom and bride as given, were J. M. Wilkinson, twenty-seven, and Miss Mary Hills, twentytwo, respectively
 The license secured, only preach CT was then lacking, and Rev Frank Thompson of the Christian church. was telephoned for and soon arrived at the courthouse, where, in the pres ence of the county clerk and one other witness, they were quietly mar ried. The promise of the witnesses to keep the affair a secret was then secured
 It appears that like most events Of this character, the secret leaked out. Both of the principals are well known in Pine Bluff, where they have long lived.
 It is said that there were serious objections on the part of the groom's family to the marriage, and for this reason the clandestine method was adopted.
