the trio to a "dugout" in the sand
dunes where they were living.
With Richards as a guide the pO-

In this manner the fight continued

County Jail, Chicago, H., Apr. %
Peter Niedermeier, Gustave Marx
and Harvey Van Dine, the car-barn
bandits, passed a sleepless night. 1t
was the first intention to hang all
three of them on the same scaffOld,
but on account of the weakness of
Niedermeier it was thought advisa
BILE to hang him at once. The latter
rejected all spiritual advice, but both
Marx and Van Dine, who recently
joined the Catholic faith, spent their
last hours reading, writing and pray
ing, several nuns and priests being
with them constantly.
The death warrant was read to
Niedermeier, and shortly after ten
o'clock the march to the scaffold be-
gan. Niedermeier was hanged al
10: S. He was carried to the scaffold
handcuffed and strapped. He was pla
ced in chair on the drop and fell
with the chair. He was strangled.
Later the physicians declared that
his neck was broken in the drop.
Marx was next led to the scaffOld.
He was accompanied by two priests
He appeared weak, but met death
bravely The drop fell at 11:17. Van
Dine was hanged at 11:55. The hang
ing was without particular incident.
Story Of Their Crimes.
The Hanging of the youthful car
barn bandits followed closely a pc
riod of crime of less than six months.
In that time eight murders were com
mitted, all attendant upon robberies
or efforts to escape arrest.
/, 1t was during an attempt to es-
cape on a stolen train after an ex-
traordinary battle in the swamps of
northern Indiana, just east of Chica-
go, that on November 81 of last year
the capture Of the gang was complet-
ed by the arrest of Neidermeier, Van
Dine and Emil Roeski, their asso-
ciate Marx having already been plac-
ed behind the bars to await trial.
The specific offence for which Van
Dine, Neidermeier and Marx were
of Frank Stewart, clerk in the Chi
cago City Railway barns, during a
robbery there on the morning of Au
gust 80, 1903 James B. Johnson, a
motorman, was also killed, and two
persons were wounded. The bandits
escaped after having secured $2.240
Roeski was not concerned in this
crime, but after the conviction of his
companions. he was tried separately
for one of the murders in which he
was the principal, convicted and sen
fenced for life to Imprisonment.
Apprehension of the trio in Indiana
! was brought about through the boast
, fulness of Marx. which also caused
his own undoing. While under the
| influence of liquor he displayed
magazine revolver of the kind known
to have been used by the car barn
murderers He asserted that the po
| lice would never take him alive.
! This came to the notice of Captain
/ Schuettler. Detectives Quinn anf
Blaul were detailed to arrest Marx
They found him November 20 in 6
saloon. When about to take him int
custody Marx shot and killed Quinn
and tried to shoot Blaul and escape
but was wounded and captured.
Several days later Marx, angeret
at the failure OF his companions Il
carry out a prearranged plan to dy
Mantle the police station in which
he was confined and secure his re

Record Breaking Fruit Crop
This Year Directs Atten.
ton There.

Cincinnati, Sept. 24.-The enOr-
nous fruit yield of 1904 is not
confined entirely to the Southern
states. This is a great fruit year
all over America, in the semi-trop-
les and in Europe.
Especially is this to be a great
year for apples. Last years yield
was under the average but of $50
separate returns to the Boston
Chamber of Commerce 1913 report
an over-averase. 100 an average
and only Is an under average.
Reports indicate the prevalence of
enormous yields wherever the
trees have been cared for and
sprayed, and fruit growers are
now giving attention to such meth.
DDS for protecting trees against
blight and insects 1t is also
said that Great Britain and
France will have large crop.
This will not be helpful to the ex
port trade in apples, which has
become quite an item in our ex
terror commerce. The apple Is
the most valuable of all onr fruits,
and a season ofplenty will rejoice
almost everybody.
Peaches brought into Georgia
alone, nearly three million dollars,
and the South's melons and vege-
tables have netted two or three
times as much. With an enOr
nous cotton crop maturing the
largest fruit crop in it's history,
and prospects for great yield of
corn, the South is reasonable sure
of prosperous fall and winter.

WHAT rs
"OPHTHALMOLOGY2"

The meaning of the word,
"Ophthalmology," is not gen
orally we'll understood. The
dictionaries differ, also medi-
cal and optical schools, in Civ
ing the exact meaning of this
word and it's application.
Some say it is "the science of dis,
eases of the eye," while others hold il
is "the science which treats of the
structure. functions, and diseases OF
the eye." We are inclined to accept
the latter definition.
