ROBBED OF
 THREE PURSES.

Eureka Springs, Ark, April 21. -B. J. Taussig, a well-known St. Louisan, who is at the Cres- cent, was robbed of three purses containing S160. Saturday. While MT. Taussig and wife were talk ing an outing, Charles Brandt gan, the hotel houseman, entered their room, purloined the purses and struck for the hills on foot. where he engaged a farmer to drive him to Seligman, on the Frisco, twenty miles distant. In attempting to cross White river, near Beaver, six miles north on the St. L. & N. A., the driver missed the ford, and both occu- pants were thrown into the rapid stream, from which Brandigan's rescuers, after a prolonged strug- gle, lowed him ashore by the. hair. His disappearance had been noted at the hotel, and Officer Gunter dispatched by the first train, in pursuit. When he reached Beaver station he found Brandigan coddled between warm blankets in room at the hotel SWope, and from the pockets of the dripping clothing which hung on a chair nearby, the officer drew the missing bank notes, so saturated and compressed as to require the most careful handling in their separation to prevent mutilation and loss. Brandigan was bound over to the grand jury and sent to the Berryville jail.
