Four men held up the Katy train at Caney, Indian Territory, forty miles north of Dennison. Texas, on August IS. The safe in the express car was blown open and $1.60 was found, the passengers were then rifled, from whom $386.O5 was obtained. Blood hounds were immediately set on the trail of the robbers and six men have been arrested on the charge of committing the robbery. The reason for so small amount being on the train at the time was due to the fact that the money had all been left at Muscogee to be picked up by the Katy flyer" which runs through the territory by day.

He drove over to Long port with the chief, where it was learned that young couple an swering the description he gave, had been seen a short time before going toward the wharf. The horses were whipped up and the drive to the steam boat landing was made at a furious pace. The irate uncle jumped from his car riage before the steamboat to Ocean city arrived.
 "Oh, we're caught, ;" the young heiress exclaimed as she saw her uncle approaching. Bingham seized her in his arms and turn ed to face their pursuers.
 "Yon are going back with me this instant, D MT. Andrews shouted.
 She is going to do nothing of the sort, " Mr. Bingham replied calmly.

 Miss Camera pleaded and when Bingham joined in the dis cussion MT. Andrews grabbed him by the collar. Further trou- ble was averted by Chief El- dredge, who seized the young woman and placed her in the car riage. Mir. Andrews ordered the driver to hasten back to the Ho- tel Dunlop.

Another opportunity for judi cial construction of the Wilson anti gambling law, which has be- come an issue of State wide i'm portance, has been lost by reason of Gov. Jeff Davis having remit ted all but $10 and $22 costs of the fines of $500 assessed against the two negroes convicted of hay ing violated the act by shooting craps. They had already been transported to the county farm in Jefferson county to serve out their fines, which would have re quired 696 days. The applica- tion for their pardon was signed by some of the best citizens of Little Rock. Gov. Davis in giv- ing his reason for his action, took occasion to score the officials of the county and city in the follow ing language:
 ''l do not intend to see the Wilson act made odiOus and ridi- culous by the officials of this county, by having them permit the gambiing-houses to run wide open in this city and a jury of their peers acquit them and see the severe penalty of this law in ficted on the ignorant negroes for shooting craps.
 1t is not the intention of the Wilson gambling act to punish any such cases, but they are left under the old law regulating gambling which existed prior to the passage of this act. The Will son gambling act, in my judg- ment, was only intendeded to reacn those who exhib- tied gambling devices and ran gambling-houses. The con viction of these two negroes, in my opinion, is a traVesty and mockery of justice. They are now on the farm under the lash of task master, in my judg- ment, only to make this law odious, and I am determined to see justice done and do not in tend to see the penalties of this act imposed upon them. "- Memphis Scimitar.
 In our opinion, Gov. Davis did the act of the good Samaritan in this matter. He is not the Governor of the classes against the masses, but an executive who hews right to the line and lets the chips fall where they will.

The Augusta Vidette seeks to make capital against James ?. Clark out of the incident which transpired at Gleason's hotel one Sunday afternoon when Clark was Governor, in which Clark called a bully, a boodler and slanderer, a liar, and spit in his face. If more men had the nerve that Clark displayed on that occasion there would be fewer traducers of character running at large. That incident alone would give the vampirs which which are always present at the national capital to understand that they must not fool with the Senator from Arkansas. Mon roe County Citizen.

An Australian curiosity is the bottle tree. It grows to height of fifty feet and seems to repre- sent bottles of all shapes both right side up and up side down. The interior of the tree contains a giutinous substance that makes refreshing drink and to obtain which, it is often tapped in the same manner as our sugar ma pie. The natives sometimes hollow out the trunks of these trees and thereby make excel tent canoes.

RALPH BINGHAM IS SEARCHIG
 FOR HIS CALIFORNIA HERES

FOR HIS SCALIFORNIA HEIRESS.
 A special from Atlantic City, N. J. of August 13. to the St. Louis Post Dispatch has this to say of Ralph Bingham, the comedian who made the people of McCrory laugh last April and one of his love affairs: Some where in New York is Ralph Bingham, comedian, engaged in the most serious play of his life. He is searching for Miss Isabella Camera, who, in addi- tion to being extremely pretty, is reputed to be worth several millions of dollars. B. V. An drews, the young woman's uncle and guardian, is also there, striv- ing to prevent Bingham from find ing her.
 The presence of these folks in New York is the sequel to a sem sational elOpement which excited Atlantic city on Sunday after noon. Andrews, who is a mil lionare fruit grower from Pasa- dena, Cal, came to Atlantic City two weeks ago with his niece, who is IS years old. They regis tered at the Hotel Dunlop, where Bingham chanced to be stopping.
 Not many hours had elapsed l before the comedian discovered the young heiress. They became acquainted and soon their ac- quaintance ripened into friend ship. Their attachment attract ed the attention of other guests at the Dunlop, but MT. Andrews did not suspect. He learned the situation on Sunday afternoon, when he found in his room note written in the niece's hand, saying she had eloped.
