About two thousand people gathered
around the confederate monument at. the
intersection of Prince and Washington
streets yesterday afternoon at $50 o'clock
and listened to a stirring address the
southern side of the civil war, delivered
by Representative S. w. T. Lanham of
Texas. On the platform were Mr.. Lanham,
the orator of the evening; Miss Mary Gus
tbs Lee, daughter of Gen Robert E. Lee;
Representative John +. Rixey of Cupeper,
Rev. DR.. Frank ]. Brooke, chaplain of r. f.
Lee Camp, Confederate Veterans; Com
mander E. C. Graham of the camp, and
Color Bearer Switzerland.
Commander Graham made a brief adj
dress. in which he announced that Repre-
sentative Rice A. Pierce of Tennessee, who
had accepted the invitation to deliver the
Grafton, could not be present After prayer
by Chaplain Brooke. Commander Graham
presented Representative Lanham, whose
address was heard with the closest atten-
ton. He went over the ground familiar on
such occasions, but his speech was char
acteristiZed by lack of anything like sec
tional bitterness, while he eXtOlled the Valor
and heroism of the confederate warrior.
In closing he paid pretty tribute to the
women of the south. The floral decorations

Bank Robbery at Fowler.

The Bank OF Fowler, owned by
A. NJ. LIpsey, was blown up by a
gang OF four men last Sunday
morning about two o'clock and
robbed OF SI.II2. Two OF the
four men were captured within a
few hours after the robbery. with
$3.50 of the stolen money in their
possession, and are now IN the
county Jail, arriving IN this city
yesterday morning in charge OF
Sheriff Barr. The prisoners gave
their names as James Seaman and
]. p. Hannahan.
Seaman is about thirty years old
and claims to nail from Wichita,
Kan. He is though, to be an old
time crook by the officers. He is
neat in appearance. with hands as
soft as girl's and in his talk shows
that he is educated. HannaLan
is about forty years old, and claims
Quincy, ILL.,, as his home He
has all the appearance OF a hard
working man, aud claims that he
never met the men who were
associated with him until few
hours before the robbery. He has
made complete confession of the
robbery, and gave the officers a
description OF the two men who
have not been captured as yet
They are supposed to be some
where north OF Fowler, heading
for Colorado Springs or Denver.
The two robbers were captured
by Deputy Sheriff Thomas, OF
Nepesta, who was notified OF the
robbery a short time after it oc-
CURED, and immediately started
IN pursuit OF the fugitives. He
had hardly gotten on the street
when he saw two men running in
westerly direction, heading for
the Missouri Pacihc crossing
about a mile west OF Nepesta
Thomas boarded No. S, expecting
that the robbers would make the
train at the crossing. He was not
disappointed, as both men board
ed the tram at the crossing and
took seats in the smoking car.
When the train started, Thomas
advanced with double barrel
shotgun and commanded both
men to hold up their hands.
Seaman made grab for his re-
volver, but when Thomas threat
ened to blow his head off, both
men gave up and made no further
resistance. rhey were taken to
Pueblo and landed in Jail, being
brought to La Junta by Sheriff
Barr yesterday morning.
The robbers used nitro glycerine
IN blowing up the bank, blowing
out the entire front OF the building
and part Of the roof. Some of
the coins were ,twistti J and badly
