BURGLARS BLOW
 ALICIA SAFE,
Causing Store of Allen 6 Mosely to Burn to Ground-Crooks Escape Blood Hounds
 to the Scene.

About one o'clock Saturday morning people living in Alicia were awakened by an explosion, sVhich was soon learned had been made in an attempt by daring burglars to wreck the safe in the >store building of Allen & Mosely, a prominent mercantile firm.
 The explosion is supposed to have set fire to the store, though the robbers may have done this to cover their tracks. While the nervy crooks secured no booty, the store was soon in flames and they made their escape with out being seen. Two men are thought to have done the work.
 The store and stock were val ued at S5,5 to $6, 900, and were partially protected, $4,000 insur- ance being carried.
 Ex-Sheriff R. w. Randy went to the scene on No. 2 early Sat- urday morning with his blood bounds, but at press hour had not been able to secure track of the criminals.

 STILL DEFIANT.
Negro Who Killed Conductor Atwood Don't Want Lawyer Says He Had Good
 Cause for Deed.

Little Rock, Dec. 10. Houston Hooker, the negro who killed Conductor P. D. Atwood, spent several hours in the city yester- day. He had been in the Gar land county jail several weeks, which fact became known Tues day, whereupon Judge Dufie or dered him removed to the state penitentiary for safe-keeping. Sheriff R. l.. Williams brought him to Little Rock on the morn ing train, but the authorities at the institution declined to accept the responsibility of taking care of prisoner whom three mobs at least have attempted to lynch. So he was taken back to Hot Springs on the afternoon train by Sheriffs Williams of Garland and Kelley of Saline.
 Hooker was removed to Benton early yesterday morning and his attorney filed a motion for a change of venue to Gar land county, which was grant, ed, and the case set down for trial Jan. 10, 1905.
 The affidavit for the change of venue was made by two ne groes, Will H. Steele and Charles Scott, who testified that they did not believe he could get justice in Benton.
 Hooker said that he did not want a change of venue, that he did not want any lawyers at all, and that he had good cause for killing Conductor Atwood.
