The robbery was seen by a number
of persons and Andrew Norman
ran to the police station and gave the
alarm. All of the night force of Off
GERS who were in the building imme-
diately started out on the chase going
in every direction. Officer McNally
ran into the alley between Sixth and
Seventh streets and when just back
of CoS's livery stable, he found
Lane. Lane at this time had all of
the stolen goods with him. After his
capture he attempted to throw some
of this away, but most of it was re-
covered Mr.. laval said last night
that the goods consisted of watches,
rings, stick pins and nose glasses,
but he thought the most Of it was re-
covered and that his only loss would
be the plate glass in the show case.
Several citizens who witnessed the
robbery said last night that it was
ode III the most daring ones they had
ever heard of. Main street was as
light as day and how the robber ex-
pected to escape is more than the
police can tell. Nothing outside of
what Lane told himself is known of
him by the police He is compara-
lively well dressed and appears to
be about twenty-five years of age.

Conclave.

George w. Schepman, who with his
wife returned this week from the
Knights Templars' convention at San
Francisco gives a very interesting
account of his trip. The first stop
of the party was at Omaha, where
they spent half a day in looking over
the city. A stop of an entire day
was made at Denver. from which city
number of side trips were made.
The entire party was struck with the
beauty Of the western city and all
lowing day was spent at Colorado
Springs. Mr.. Schepman and wife
went to Cripple Creek from the
Springs. There was no trouble in the
mines at the time that he was there.
| btu large amount of trouble had
been going on just previous to their
visit. A stop was made at Salt
Lake City. where the party of tourists
| listened to an organ recital given on
the huge organ in the Tabernacle.
From Salt Lake City they took the
new short cut to San Francisco. This
road had just been completed and
their train was one of the first pas
senger trains to pass over it. AT
San Francisco the party was royalty
entertained. Mr.. Schepman and his
wife went from there to Los Angeles
and Sacramento and at both places
they saw number of local people
whomthey report to be all doing Well
After visiting a number of Califor-
MIA cities Mr.. Schepman and his wife
went to Portland, Oregon, and Seat
tie, Washington. After leaving Seat
tie they crossed over into British Co
lumbia and visited number of the
towns under the British domain
They started east over the Canadian
Pacific and entered the States at
North Dakota After visiting st
Paul and Minneapolis the party re-
turned to Chicago. where a stop oi
several days was made before coming

One of the boldest robberies which
has occurred in Richmond in years
took place last night, when Roy Lane
Of Knightstown broke open a show
case belonging to DR.. l.. c. laval
at Sixth and Main street and took
about 800 worth of jewelry and op-
tiical supplies.
Lane, who was very much under
the influence of liquor, rode down
Sixth street on bicycle about 7
O'Clock. He left the bicycle at the
curb about the middle Of the square
just north of Main street. Picking
up a rock he walked back to Sixth
and Main streets and threw the rock
through the glass side of the show
case. He gathered up all of the
goods that he could and ran up Sixth
street, but before he could reach
his wheel pursuers were so close be-
hind him that he could not stop and
he ran to North A street, turning on
A he ran to the first alley and then
started south again, but just as he
reached the middle of the alleey he
ran into Officer McNally, but he did
not give up easily and did not submit
to arrest until he had given the officer
an awful fight He was taken to po-
lice headquarters and closely ques-
toned, but nothing could be learned
of him, other than he had ridden in
from Knightstown yesterday after
noon on bicycle. The bicycle in
question is a new Columbia chainless
and the police think it was probably
stolen somewhere by Lane.

ance with an official order from
Washington directing that such OBJ
servance shall be made TO show fit

that it would not be closed.
He said the postoffice would be

Who were the mysterious stranc-

and went away leaving a number o.

This question confronts the local
police and the occurrence is mysterious
enough 10 bother either Sherlock
Holmes or Nick Carter.
Yesterday afternoon two typical
hobos, both dressed in very shabby
costumes were noticed in the bottoms
just north OF the Starr Piano Fac
tory. A person who was standing or
the other side of the river noticed
them and was very much surprised
to see the two men stop behind pile
Of lumber, where they thought they
would be concealed and make cont
Iplete change of clothing. The watch
er was surprised at this. but was
more surprised when he saw that
the new garments which the supposed
hobos had put on were very neat as
TO cut and style. Instead Of looking
the part of the "panhandler' they
represented gentlemen of the sport
ing fraternity The person who WAS
watching saw them wend their wav
up the wooden stairs at the side %
the hill and calmly walk up the rail-

them and see where they went.

THE PROBABLE LINEUP
Men Are in the Very Pink of Condi-
tion-The Game With Indiana
IA 19s8v ~

The football outlook at Earlham is
Frightening somewhat. Last evening
there were thirty-two men out for
practice and with two picked teams
lined up some hard scrimmage work
was done. Coach Brewer believes in
working the men hard and according
ly finished up the days work with a
three-quarter mile run.
The men on the first team are all
in the pink Of condition and unless
something unforeseen turns up before
tomorrow game Earlham will 90
after the Indiana Medics rough shod.
Haisley and johnson, two of the
new men, are coming out in good
shape and there are several others
who are Vet a little green, but who
will doubtless round out in varsity
style.
The lineup to meet the Indiana
Medies on Reid Field tomorrow aft
ernoon will probably be as follows:
Center-Harvey or Ellis.
Right euard-Bond.
Left guard-Smelser.
Right tackle-Brunson.
Left tackle-Mann.
Right McCreary.
Left end-Lawrence.
Quarter Wilson.
Right half back-Hobbs.
81 81 e,l l.
Full back-Maple or Grimes.
1t is an interesting fact that In the
long experience of Coach Brewer he
has never failed to turn out win
ming team. His method of coaching
is an innovation at Earlham. So far
he has been directing the men from
the side lines. Next week he will be
on the field in football suit and
show the men the correct execution of
the plays he has been explaining to
them
1t was announced In the. Indiana
polls paper last evening that the
Franklin team which was TO have
PLAYED Earlham on Reid Field No
yember ), has been disbanded. The
open date thus left will be filed
very probably. by either Butler or the
Wabash Athletic Association.
The Quakers are especially anxious
To get date with the Wabash Ath-
letic Association as their team is now

they lost their first game and they
are very confident Of being able to
retrieve their former defeat
