HUNDREDS HUNT FOR BANDITS
Men who Held Up Rock Island Train
Being Pursued-were After
10000 in safe.

CHICAGO, July 4.-with half a hundred
men on their trail and the premise OF a
desperate battle and probably death for
their portion IL they shall be overtaken, the
two bandits who halted the Rock Island
railroads Denver limited express train at
midnight Thursday and escaped after NOR
tally wounding one OF the express messen-
gers, are still at large. All during the
night and through today they pushed on
through the farming country, stealing a
buggy or a wagon here and there and aban-
doning the teams when they were to ex-
hausted to carry them further.
Farmer and residents in the little towns
In the vicinity of the scene Of the raid
swept over the surrounding fields and as
sisted in the hunt, but never a glimpse
was had Of the fugitives. Occasionally a
rumor Of their whereabouts was obtained,
but the utmost haste in organizing a posse
brought them nothing.
James Kahn, a veteran express messenger
who was shot down by the robbers while he
stood with his hands elevated above his
head, was brought to Chicago and. Il is
believed, will recover.
Charles Nessler, the dupe and decoy OF
the bandits, who was captured on the
ground after they had fed, was brought
from Joliet during the day by Sheriff
Magerstadt, but the officers do not believe
he will be of much assistance in running
down the fugitives.
The attempt upon the strong boxes of
the United States Express company that
were journeying toward Omaha and Dem
yer is admitted to have been one OF the
best planned raids of recent years, but It
was poorly executed and the bandits tried
to carry out the program without sufi-
cient force to protect themselves from an
attack.
The detectives engaged in the investiga-
ton and the pursuit now being pushed all
over Illinois are satisfied that the robbers
hoped to force the big safe, which con-
tanned somewhere in the neighborhood of
100000, and only the precipitate shooting
OF the messenger defeated them in this
project. When they fled they carried with
them several packages Of cheap jewelry,
valued at about $500, and a quantity OF
catalogues and patent medicine bottles
which they apparently thought we're bum
dies Of ~valuables.

offer an opportunity that cannot be
surpassed to show to the world the
many reasons why Georgia is the En-
pire State Of the South.
The question is one that will be
brought to the attention Of the present
session Of the legislature and an APP
preparation commensurate with the
Importance of the display should be
made. Other states of the South, much
less able financially and possessing
inferior resources in every respect,
have made liberal donations for the
purpose, and the time is one for the
State to show its superiority.
The people of the entire world are
now watching with unusual interest
the industrial advances so evident in
the South and the display will bring
many investors to Georgia. If the
State has no exhibit other States will
pass Georgia in the contest for com
merciaI and industrial supremacy.
And no picayunish amount is going
to be sufficient. An appropriation
large enough to provide a complete
display is imperatively demanded. We
have every advantage to induce the
investment Of capital and it is our duty
to let the world know it. a big and
