ChIorofOrmed Victims and Got Booty
from Trunk.
Peaceful Fulton experienced bold
robbery Saturday night about midnight
An unknown white man entered the
clearinghouse Of w. S.. Rockwell, and
after chloroforming Mr.. P. H. Kessler.
proceeded to pick the locN of a trunk be-
longing to Mr.. George Higgins. From the
trunk the thief took $50 and ring valued
at $50.
Mr.. Higgins came in shortly after the
robber had left his room and saw that
his clothes and trunk had been tempered
with, as had also the belongings of Mr..
Kessler, who roomed with him. He then
saw a white man go down the hall to-
wards the back stairway Mr.. Higgins
secured a revolver and went after the
unknown man. In a few minutes Mr..
Rockwell heard three shots ring out
through the still air. AS soon as he
could dress he went to look for Higgins
and stumbled over his body in an alley.
At first it was thought that he was shot
but later it was discovered that he had
been struck with a brick thrown by the
burglar.
+, He had been stupefied by the blow but
recovered in a few minutes. Some tro,,-
bic was experienced in awakening Mr..
Kessler. The fumes of cholorform were
strong in the room, and Mr.. kessler firm
ly believes that he was drugged by the
thief

that people no longer are using gas
stoves for comfort during the summer
months. but are getting ready to use them
in winter. when formerly the coal stoves
were used.
Its merely another detail of the coal
strike" said Mr.. Shelton. 1T looks as
if people won't be able to buy any coal
at all. We are connecting more gas
stoves this month than we have ever
connected before in the same time or at
any time Of the year. Tho rush used to
be in the spring. but now it is in the fall"
, The dealers in gas stoves say that the
demand at this time is the heaviest
ever experienced in Richmond. The price
have not been advanced any, and all
kinds of gas heating and cooking APP
paratus are in constant demand.

fident Of reelection, but will make an &C
tive and vigorous campaign He is a Drill
liant stumper, fine organizer and hard
worker and can take care of himself
against any opposition. Mr.. Flood was
in the city a few days ago, and when
asked who would probably be his oppon-
ent, he said he supposed it would be
either Yost or Revercomb, he did not
care which. He is confident Of beating
either out for the seat in Congress.
Speaking of the. registration now IN
progress tn the district Representative
Flood said he thought that s. per cent of
the white vote of the district would be
enrolled In those precincts in which
registration had been completed, he said
that in some cases east of the mountains
as much as IS per cent OF the white vote
was registered.
There is organized effort to secure the
registration Of the full party strength.
There were, under the old constitution,
u. 129 negro voters IN the district, to
g., 437 whites.
