Frustrated Robbers' Plans.
Chicago. Sept PA bold attempt
by two men to lock themselves in q
Michigan Central railroad express car
with the express messenger, overpower
him after the train had left the yards
ct Thirteenth street and then rifle the
two safes in the car was frustrated
when the plans Of the would be rob
bers niscarried.
William Ganghim, an expressman
was knocked unconscious and gagged
in the express car, and then the men
discovered he was not the express mes
senger and, fearing detection, lied
This is the theory OF railroad officials
The express messenger who has charge
81 the car later left Chicago with one
guard and about $4,000 IN two safes
in the car. This money, It is believed,
was the object OF the attack of the
two men. Ganghin was taken TO ST.
Luke's hospital, and It was found bis
shoulder had been dislocated and he
had sustained severe bruises. IL he
had not been discovered in the car in
time, the physicians say, he would
have smothered to death because OF
the gag in his mouth.
1t was at first thought that Ganghin
was attacked instead of Harry Orr.
another employee in the yards, who
had trouble with a discharged EN-
ployee recently. The police were sum.
moned and Ganghin was taken to The
hospital, but it was not until the ex
pressman revived and told Of the mys-
terious attack that the attempted rob.
berry theory presented itself. When the
officials of the railroad and express
companies learned Of the affair they
began an investigation Ganghin SAYS
nothing was taken from him by the
robbers, which leads him to believe he
received the beating intended for Ex-
press Messenger Hall.

Resolutions of Thanks,

The following resolutions were

Lodge, l. o. 0. F. in this city:
Whereas the officers and members

recognizing the invaluable services
of brother 7. w. Ralph, so long the
faithful and efficient sc secretary of our
lodge, and, whereas our brothers.
other duties impel him to tender his
resignation as secretary of our lodge,
therefore be it
Resolved, that we heartily indi-
vidually and collectively, tender our
heartfelt thanks to brother #, w.
Ralp for his constant service so
efficiently performed and cheerfully
given.
Resolved, that while we regret to
lose his services as secretary we are
proud to know his name still honors
our roll.
Resolved, that we cherish the MEM
ory of his gratifying labors in the
cause of Oddfellowship, and we as
sure him of our sincere affections and
esteem, and trust he will long be
spared to illustrate the truth of our
noble order.
Resolved, that these resolutions be
placed on our minutes and a copy be

Is NOT A CANDIDATE.
Congressman Davis did not Au-
thOrize Use of His Name
for U. $. Senate.

Only short time since, and with
out a shadow of authority, II local
paper announced the probable candi-
dacy of Congressman Robert w.
Davis for the United States Senate.
This announcement was copied in
the Jacksonville and other state pa
Ders and was spread to the remotist
corners of the state, everywhere be-
ing received with expressions of
pleasure among the people, for there
is no man in public life in Florida
whom the great common people
would so delight to honor as this
same Bob" Davis-the "Our Bob
of the people.
His popularity is due in large
measure to his absolute loyalty He
is not only loyal to the interests of
the state he has so long and ably
represented in the halls Of congress,
but he is loyal to his friends.
In a letter to the News Mr.. Davis
states that he lis not now. never was
and never will be a candidate for the
senate, and the suggestion of such a
thing in one of my home papers is
embarrassing to me both here and at
homc.n
1t will thus be seen that the man
who could easily slide into the place
on the votes of the people refuses to
take advantage of his great popu-
larity.
Thus is another pretty boomlet
"busted."

parts OF the county and it's object is
to secure personal temperance and to
move for dry county.

China. Her theme was 1.-The value
of having a fixed purpose.
