i'd pace toward Keasbey.
Webb and two trolley employees
who had come up in the meantime,
proceeded to Police Headquarters
where they notified Patrolman An
drew Jensen, who was acting serg-
cant, who detailed Patrolman John
Whitworth, and l.. G. Jensen to the
case. He also called up Chief Burke
and the chief was out in short time
and took personal charge of the case
He placed the whole force at work
to cover all parts of the town, but
the robbers had a good start(and he
had little hopes of being able to shut
them off. He also telephoned to sur
rounding towns.
Patrolman Chris Hanson, who is
on the beat where the robbery took
place. had been notified that some
trouble was taking place and he at
once went to tho scene. Hanson saw
the men at Goodwin street, they were
running, but were too far ahead for
him to catch up with them and it
G. Jensen went to Keasbey on tip
that wagon had passed through
that place. Roundsman Morris secur-
ed a wagon and, with Patrolman
Long, and Hanson, went to Metuchen
but they did not find any clue.
Careful Preparations.
That the robbery had been planned
for some time and with great care
was shown by the fact that the telc-
phone wires were cut and that the
switch to hold the incoming car
from Florida Grove had been thrown
so that the car was stopped and held
for over fifteen minutes while the
crew wondered what was the mat
ter.
Description of the Men.
In conversation with a NEWS re-
porter this morning, Chief Burke
said that he had good idea of the
men. The description is as follows:
One of them is a big fellow, about
six feet tall and wears a slouch hat;
two others were medium size, and
the other was a little short thick
man. The chief is positive that it is
the gang that has been committing
robberies around the state recently
This mornig he found that a tool
box owned by the McHose company
at Keasbey had been broken open and
some of the tools stolen. 1t is thought
| that the car barn burglars are the
onces who did this.
1t was discovered this morning
that the force Of the explosion had
knocked the plaster off the ceiling
of a number of houses, one of them
being occupied by MIR. and Mrs.

The Ozark region has become u
widely famous as fruit growing coun
try that fruit growers and fannersfrcn
other states are seeking investments
In southwest Missouri and mammoth
orchards are being planted as result.
The local United States Office received
letter today from Joseph Stiesch o.
Corona, Riverside county, California
stating that he and FIVE other men and
their families would homestead eighty
acres Of land each in Taney county
along White river, within few miles
OF the new Missouri Pacific railroad.
Th"1T''l arrive here IN few ks
These men are ali practical farmers
and fruit gro.'ers and they intend 70
nut out large peach and apple orchards.
The la"{ select d l. specially adat 20
for this purpose. 1t lies from 100 10 300
feet above the White river ON the sunny
hillsides Of the southern slope Of the
Ozarks, where peach crop failure IL
seldom reported. All kinds OF fruits and
berries will be raised. These men have
been in the fruit growing business 10
southern California for several years
and they will introduce some Of the
methods employed there. They made
an investigation Of the land along the
White river in passing through this
state and they were oil the opinion that
1t offered great opportunities.
Not only are homeseekers coming
from western states, but u great many
from Iowa and Wisconsin have secured
land In southwest Missouri this spring.
Charles L. Brown Of Logan, Iowa,
was a visitor at the local land Office To-
day. He made a cash entry on I2O acres
In Ozark county. 1t is his intention 10
increase this by purchase and other en-
tries 10 800 or COO acres as soon az
possible.
Most OF this land will be used for
stock grazing at first until il can be i'm
proved for general agricultural pur-
poses. Mr. Brown thinks the land IA
rich 10 mineral deposits and he will
make through investigation as 10 the
quality and extent OF this.
He says the government land 10

The opening number Thursday eyep-
ing was a chorus, Morning Invitation, "

A drill, by twelve girls, was very
pleasing, the exaetness with which the
participants, some OF whom were quite
small, followed the intricate figures OF
the performance being source Of won

An operetta, 'Bonnybell," the char.
