HOT CHASE
Negro Thief Gives Officers a
Long Run Thursday but
is Finally Caught

A bold robbery was committed last
Thursday in the rear of the Valley
saloon near the Valley depot. An
old negro named Burns went to the
rear of the saloon to count his roll,
which contained $50, and while in
the act Bud Harris, another negro,
knocked him down and snatched his
wad and made rush for liberty.
He would have succeeded in max
ing his escape had it not been for MI.
Keller who gave chase on his horse
and Policemen Jones and Norton who
followed in close pursuit on foot.
The negro had q hot fout and the
ankle excursion he gave the officers
was two miles long and led through
streets and alleys, across yards and
fields to the Blanton field where the
thief was caught hiding under some
bushes.
Harris was brought back and lodee ed
IN the city Jail. A search failed to
locate the money on him and it is
supposed that it was given to a con.
Lederate in the steal during the chase.

HANDSOME HOMES
Will in the Near Future Line
Poplar Street and It vii! be
the Next One Paved

People who are looking for resident
locations should walk up Poplar street
and view the beautiful building sites
along each side of this thoroughfare.
On this street the new car line extends
to Nelson street and if handsome res.
idences are erected along the line il
will be but few years before Poplar
street will be paved. It should be
paved in the very near future because
it is one of the most travelled resi-.
dent streets in the city, being really
the northern gateway to the country.
At present portions Of both sides of
this street are occapied by cheap ne.
gro cabins but these will soon be re-
moved. Everybody desires to locate
as near as possible to the business
center and Poplar street is the only
street now that affords such location.
1t is very noticeable fact that build.
ing homes erected today are much
more attractive than those erected q
few years ago and Poplar streets will
soon present very different view
than at present.
Mr.. A. G. Wineman has just com.
pleted three neat cottage residences ut
the upper end Of this street which
greatly improve the appearance of
that locality. and no one doubts but
that other beautiful homes will fol-
low. Nearer the business center, on
The corner of Poplar and Davis streets,
Mr.. N. Goldstein haS recently erected
\ residence and is planning another
70 be erected in the adjoining lot.
The Court school is ON this street |
vt the corner of Nelson, and directly
opposite lies the old Jewish cemetery |
rom which the bodies will be trans
erred to the new Jewish cemetery ON
he other side of the town. When
his has been done this will make an
deal spot for city park or will make
me Of the most beautiful resident
,laces in the city. But the city needs
park and this advantageous spot
hould not be lost sight of. Verify,
'oplar street has very promising
nd beautiful future before it.

Before The Times
WORLDS FAIR CONTEST
will be DecidedA Close Study of the Votes

bOdy's Race as Yet, II Friends of Conte stants

The voting contest closes in five
weeks. On August the lst, the last
day, the winners will be announced.
Up to this time the vote has gradually
increased until last week when the
combined vote in the most popular
lady contest amounted to about so :
600 votes, while the ugliest man con-
test ran up only about 200 more than
the 30, 900 mark. OF this amount the
highest contestant among the ladies
had about $1,000, representing only
about 500 and tie leading candidate
in the ugly mans contest did not
reach number that would represent
over $i25.
From this it will be seen that with
five more weeks for the contest to run
there is not candidate in either race
who can yet lay claim to victory, and
any yonng lady or gentleman entered
even during the coming week if sup
ported by host of working admirers
can have the same show to win bv

and the candidate by writing to each
subscriber to fill out the coupon blank
in the papers in his or her favor and
mail them in, can in five weeks time
and without an outlay Of $50 in cash,
receive 75, 900 votes, number in our
opinion large enough to win the
prize.
The candidate who adopts the motto
