have RUDOLPH C0RNERED
Pinkertons With Posse of Sixty
Have Outlaw Surrounded.
Picked Up Several Former Partners
Expecting to Free Collins at the
Time of His Trial ut Union.

st. Louis, Aug. Tt will only he a
matter Of time before we capture Bill
Rudolph" said George d. Charles
worth, assistant superintendent Of the
Pinkerton detective agency. We re-
ceived a tip that Rudolph and some of
his associates are hiding in the noun
tains In the northern part of Arkansas,
just across the Missouri border. A
posse including detectives are now
working on this clew and are surround
ing the place where Rudolph is in hid
ing. Up to this time no word has been
received from them. but the Pinkertons
expect to hear of his capture any time.
The posse numbers about sixty men.
Tried to Free Collins.
It is positively known that Rudolph
was on the outskirts Of Union all the
time of Collins trial, and that he was
there for the purpose of trying to free
Collins. He failed to do this, as Col
Inns was watched too closely by the
authorities.
After Rudolph stole the team of
horses in northern Missouri, some time
before Collins trial, he drove directly
to the Missouri river, across from
Franklin county. Here boats were
hidden, so if Collins escaped they could
easily cross the river and get a good
start on the officers.
Picks Up Old Partners.
Rudolph picked up several former
partners. They then crossed the river
to a place a short distance from the
Rudolph homestead and left the team.
The place is very accessible. Here they
are said to have made their plans to
free Collins.
At night they visited the outskirts of
Union to see what chances were af-
forded there. They evidently found
that they were greatly outnumbered by
the guards who were watching Collins.
Rudolph himself was very anxious to
free Collins, but he did not like to put
himself in a place where he was liable
to be captured himself.
MI. Charlesworth, in talking of Col
Inns, said:
collins is the most confident fellow
I ever saw to be doomed to the gal
ows. He confidently believes that his
old partner, Rudolph, will come to his
rescue. Rudolph will never get him,
though. I confidently believe that we
will capture Bill in a short time"

Masked Burglars.

A bold attempt was made to rob
the Yazoo & Mississippi Valley de-
pot at Anding, a small town eight or
ten miles south of Yazoo City, last
week. Two masked burglars en-
tered the office where the night OPP
orator was at his desk and demand
ed that he open the safe. Not hav-
ing the combination, he could not
do so. This enraged the robbers,
and one of them gave him a slap on
the side of the face which sent him
to the floor. When he got up his
visitors had departed without touch
ing a thing.

THE STATE ELECTION

Oh the men WnO voted against Var
daman for Noel will again vote against
Vardaman for Critz.
The Vardaman men lay stress up
on the fact that Money carried most
of the counties which went for Noel.
but the Critz men answer that there
were not many of these and that in
a popular primary the condition will
cut no such figure al 1t would in an
electoral fight.
Guessing Nearly Over.
The guessing as to the result of the
election will be over tomorrow, when
the State Democratic Committee
meets and gives out the official re-
suits Of the primary held Thursday.
There will be nc more probabilities
in the matter, but it will be known
exactly what each candidates strength
in the seventy-fve counties in Missis-
sill Is, and who was the victor in the
doubtful contests.
The committee will meet tomorrow
under the call Of Chairman C.. C. Mil
Ter, of Meridian, and will begin the
work Immediately of tabulating the
returns of the counties of the State.
Secretary of State Power has re.
ceived from a number of the counties
of the State the official result of Thurs.
days primary, but these returns are
sen to the secretary of State by the
secretary of the county committee
sealed in a large envelope. Mr.. Power
cannot open these returns, but deliv-
ers them to the State Democratic
Committee, by whom they are opened
and counted.
The fight between Vardaman and
Critz in the second primary, to be held
on the 9th, has begun, and every in
dication is that the first race was
rather mild compared to what the sec.
ond is going to be. Both sides are
lining up their men, and are naturally
going after the Noel vote. The side
that gets the Noel vote will win. AS
is well known, the electoral vote
makes no difference in the second
race; the vote of every man counts.
Counties Carried by Each.
According to the vote here today,
Vardaman has received 121 of the cleo
toral votes Of the State, Critz 121,

No State Encampment.

Adjt.-Gen. Henry gives out the
unwelcome news that there will be
no encampment of the National
Guard of Mississippi this year. This
will be a great disappointment to
the guard in this State. Gen. Hen
ry received a letter last week from
the general commanding the De-
partment of the East informing him
of this fact. He has written to the
department asking if this decision
is final, but he has little hope of its
being altered.

Swelling Convict List,

The secretary OF the board of con-
troll of the State penitentiary re-
ports that t~hirty-one convicts were
brought into the prison fold during
the month of July. During the
same period there were thirteen dis.
charges, one escape and mi pardon.
Thus it will be seen that the receipts
were a little more than double the
disbursements during the month
Of July. AT this rate the prison
population is likely to soon absorb
the raw material.
