Columbus, May 29.-The United
States district court which convenes
for the June term in this city next
Tuesday will consider among other
cases, those of Burglar" Jim An
derson and his pal, Everett Roby, who
was captured by the chief of police
of Alliance at Moultrie, Columbiana
county, last February. Both men are
wanted for postoffice robberies in and
about Columbus.
Anderson is a desperate criminal,
but deports himself usually as a
polished gentleman. He is graduate
Of Wooster college and is as polite as
Chesterfield. He was taken at
Johnstown, Pa, few days after
Roby's capture. There is a bit Of
romance connected with Roby's case.
He made love to the daughter Of a
prominent resident of Moultrie and
was placed under arrest just as he
was about to enter the home of his
sweetheart. His home is in Cleveland.
The young lady to whom he had been
paying attention had been led to- be-
lieve that he was a very nice man and
was much surprised to learn that his
favorite pastime, when not making
love, was cracking safes. A full COM
plement of burglar tools was
found in the possession Of both An
derson and Roby.
The local press has been devotins
considerable attention to Hon. r. w.
Tayler's retirement from the congress
sional race. The act was unexpected
here as it doubtless was to the ma
jority of people in the Eighteenth dis
trict.
One Columbus correspond wired his
paper from Cleveland that Tayler re-
signed in order to become the attor-
ney Of the pottery: trust. There is no
pottery trust although one may be in
process of formation. Repeated efforts
have been made during the past three
years to unite the potteries " the
United States under one head, but in
each instance failure has been the re-
suit.
As a result of Mr.. Taylers retire
ment Senator Writ, of Youngstown;
County Treasurer T. Harvey Smith, of
Massillon; Colonel Morgan, Of AL
lance, and Charles C. Baker, of AL
lance, are getting their names in the
PAPERS as congressional possibilities.
