by Bibb Is a small one-not over 10x14 feet There are no windows to 1t and 1t is very dark. The door had three locks on it. One of them Is a Yale lock, fastening from the outside. The other is a night latch lock and the third a com mon door lock.
 Entering the room the officers began a careful search. Under the mating which covered the floor they found what ap- peared to be loose plank. In few minutes they found a cover to a hole 12x14 inches. Investigating further the de- tectiyes found a large number of articles, including clothes a handsome mirror and the sacks similar to those used by the ticket agent to take money to the bank The supposition is that these sacks con- tained the stolen money. bunch of fifteen or twenty newly made keys were found. and il is thought one of these keys was used in the lock to the door of the ticket office.
 The mirror and clothes have been iden- tifed it is alleged, as being the effects stolen from the Louisville and Nashville pay car
 Detectives Reticent.
 The detectives last night would not give a full list of the articles found in the hole or say whether any money was in 1t. They simply said that the articles discov- cred pointed to at least four other bur gIaries that have occurred in Birmlng- nam within the past two months.
 Asked about the money the detectives said they would first have 10 catch the other man before they could answer the question
 Another and much more important find was made in the hole in Bibbs room. This is pistol. q new one. Examination showed that 1t had never been used 1t is d Colts of A calibre. There were also two boxes of cartridges.
 Further investigation brought to light another hole. This hole had not been completed as it was evidently in procass of being made. It showed fresh saw cuts and was in the ceiling. The ceiling to the room is of wood covered with paper.
 In this hole the set of burglars tools were found The kit was complete one, including steel saw, monkey wrenches and files.
 One of the detectives said last night, This is the most complete and finest set of burglars tools that l have ever seen in Birmingham and l doubt if It can be duplicated in the south.
 It is estimated that the value of stolen articles found in the hole in the floor is over $200 Some of these articles were identified as having been those stolen from the depot at various times
 When arrested a concealed pistol was taken from the hip pocket of the trousers worn by Bihb Examination showed that one of the cartridges had been recently

 Fired at Some One.
 The theory of the officers is that the bullet from the empty cartridge was fired at some one in the Frisco house prob ably at the man who had overheard their conversation in regard to the depot rob bery.
 Late Tuesday afternoon Bibb William son and the third man involved are said to have gone to Warrior As the train passed from under the depot shed it Is thought one of them fired at the person who was sitting near window i'll the Frisco house. A bullet mark only few inches from where he was sitting strengthens the theGry.
 It is also understood that the man yet at liberty purchased fine pistol i'll Bir- mingham Tuesday, paying SIS for it, and rendering $20 bill to the clerk in one of the stores. It is said that he exhibited a huge roll of money at the time.
 In speaking of the capture of the men last night Detective Bodeker said.
 Tt Is q matter of eradication to me that we have succeeded in getting this mystery solved and securing the men who we are confident are the guilty parties. The ferreting cut of this crime has lifted dbSolHielA every Susflfipn lTQH dn4pDug connected with the office of the ticket agent"
 The two men under arrest are neatly dressed. Williams Is IS and Bibb 19 years of age. Bibb is a son of J. M. Bibb, su- perintendent of bridges for the Louisville and Nashville Railroad company.
 Bibb's room at the Frisco house is No 37. He registered under the name of John Jones and had occupied the apart ment for about two months. The detec- lives have been unable so far to ascer- tain where Williamson roomed
 Blob Is said to have had no regular oe- cupation. but Williamson was employed cn a Louisville and Nashville freight tram as a hagman.
 What statements the two men made to the officers are not known. It Is the In tention of the detectives to place the en- tire matter before the grand Jury, which is now in session. without delay.
 The officers have been working on the eese for nearly two weeks. Last night they were worn out with their night watch at the Frisco house and they have had but little sleep during the past two weeks.

 Indictments were also returned against three negroes who it is claimed assisted Loeb in his operations of securing the goods and disposing of them.
 It is claimed that Loeb took the goods in trunk to Montgomery and disposed of them to two firms there
 It is said the checks with which he was paid for the goods will be introduced in evidence at the trial. It is under stood that the men who bought the har- ness in Montgomery appeared before the grand jury.
 It is said that Loeb made at least three entrances, or had the negroes to do so. into the store of Matthews. The goods were afterwards placed in a trunk and checked on the train to Montgomery, a few sets at a time.
 Arriving at Montgomery the trunk would be sent to the hotel and then Loeb would go to his customers to sell them, stating that he was a travelling salesman and had samples with which he was anx- ious t1 be relieved thereupon offering them for sale at low prices.
 The bond in each case was fixed at 5000 He did not give bond last night and is still in the county jail

Cancellation of These Entries.

Montana state selections covering
about 5000 acres of land, mostly in
Teton county, have been cancelled
b. the department of the interior
An important feature of the matter
is that because of the cancellation
of these entries the state is barred
from securing any of the lands within
the limits of the St Mary's govern
ment irrigation canal project. And
the whole trouble is because the
state officials did not execute a legal
deed.
At the minimum price of $40 per
acre. the state has lost $4,000 worth
Some time ago the state made Sc
lection of valuable land in Flathead
and Teton counties. Later, by proc
lamation of the president. the Flat
