Express Agent and Alleged Accom-
pIice Arrested in Kentucky.
The alleged theft of $4,000 from the
agent of the American Express Conn
pany at Fordsville, Ky, has resulted in
a queer complication about which there
is much mystery. ]. W. Boatner, who
shipped the money to Fordsville, is I'M
der arrest at Irvington. and ]. @. Schlitz-
baum, the agent of the company, is held
at Falls of Rough.
Several days ago a man giving his name
as j. w. Boatne- of Memphis, Tenn,
appeared at the office of the ex
press company at Deanefeld FIVE miles
from Fordsville, and said he wished to
send $4,000 to the latter point. Boat
ner took receipt for this sum, and then
the agent remembered THAT he was al
lowed to ship only 5000 st one time and
made Boatner take the cash back. Boat
ner kept the money until the other night,
when 1t was sent to Fordsville by ex-
press. where it arrived late the same
night. The express agent, it is said, in
formed number of people that the
money had arrived 1t was not put in
bank, as Boatner sent word that he would
be there early the next morning.
In the morning Schlitzbaum appeared
at Falls of Rough. ten miles away He
said he was held up, robbed and kidnaD-
I'd during the night. He FIRST decided to
stay at the depot all night, he says, but
6nally got nervous, and started to the
aotel, which is only one square away. Be
tween the two places he was set upon
and robbed of the money by three men.
The express people and the officers say
hat the whole affair was a conspiracy

pany out of $4,000
/ Boatner has the express company's re-
4 .eipt for $4,000. When arrested the
money was not found on his person. Boat
ner refuses to give any history of him
self or his family other than that he
came from South America. and that his
father gave him the $4,000, which he
had won on horse races.

half an hour the cannonading continued,
when there rose from the leader of the
invading squadron a red and green rock
