PLEAD FOR THEIR MOTHER
Spaugh Brothers, Under Sentence of
Death, Will Appeal to Governor,
and Are Writing a Book.

st. Louis, Jan. 30.-William and Ar
thur Spaugh, in Jail for the murder Of
J. w. Polk of Iron county, the former
under sentence of death, have issued an
appeal to citizens and announce their
intention of personally appealing to
Gov. Folk, and also set forth that they
are writing a book.
The appeal is mainly for their moth
er, Mrs. Mary Spaugh, under sentence
of ten years for completely in the crime.
VIM. Spaugh, in the letter, asserts
that he had committed no crime for
which he should hang. He declares
that Sheriff Polk came after him with
out a warrant of law, attacked him, re-
volver in hand, and fired on him twice
before he replied to the shooting.
The brothers are preparing a book,
in which they will tell Of the attack
upon them in the Jail at Ironton.

BUCKEYE INCASED IN GOLD
New Orleans Man Values Very Highly
His "Lucky" Horse
Chestnut.

II wouldn't sell that thing for $1,000.
If l lost it I'd hunt for it like the
knights of King Arthur hunted the
Holy Grail. That thing exercised a
hoodoo that hung about me for five
years. That thing stays with me till
/ die"
All this, with great conviction, says
the Kansas City Star, about a little
buckeye incased in a small gold cage
that hung on the watch fob Of Herbert
Herring, a New Orleans man.
Cup to September 7, 1900, I had
been the victim of bad luck of one
sort and another" he said. THAT day
I was going to Galveston. 1t was Fri
day. I recollect that the train was
delayed half a dozen times before 1t
reached the city, and I was Tuning.
We got there at last and just as I
was leaving my car l saw this buck
eye lying on the opposite seat. I
picked it up and put it in my pocket.
I had intended going to the Black
hotel that night, but after picking up
that buckeye I suddenly changed my
mind. A good many guests at the
Black hotel persisted in the food next
night.
Later on at New Orleans I was out
fishing in a catboat with three other
men. A squall struck US. The others.
who could swim, were drowned. I
can't swim a stroke but l had my
buckeye and I was saved. After that
I had the thing fixed in this gold case.
And that's why I treasure It,"

Ways of the Bank Burglar.

two guards without. Occasionally
there is a fifth man, but not often.
The bank robber is considered by
detectives and police officers to be the
most dangerous kind of criminal. 1t is
said that bank robbers will shoot
quicker than any other type. They
are absolutely fearless, and their dis
covery of the destructiveness of nitro
glycsrine has made it an easy, matter
for a "second-class bum to become a
first-class bank robber.
1t Is said that few bank burglars
are mechanics, relying upon the nitro
glycerine to open the vault, no mat
ter how strong the safe or how we'll
barred the doors. "Give a tramp a
can Of soup and a bar Of soap, and
two or three other buns to work with
him, and he'll get into the fanciest
burglar-proof safe that was ever
made" said a detective.
That so few robbers are caught is
explained by the detectives in this
way. The robberies occur at little
towns, here, there, everywhere. Crack
ing the safe between midnight and two
o'clock. the thieves have often as
many as four or five hours Of dark
ness in which to get away. If they
can catch a train across country in
this time 1t is a long chase to catch
them. Unlike the James and the
Younger boys, they don't ride into
town in the daytime, shoot up and
down the street until the bank is

OF November 81, and the same night
another futile attempt was made at
Tamaroa, Ill.
Robbers entered Eldon, Mo-, on
Night of November 25, but were re-
pulsed by citizens, who captured their
bottle of nitroglycerine.
John Rodenberg, Of East st. Louis,
feeling that safe blowers might visit
him, Iosted the combination of his
safe in plain view. The expected
visit came, and the thieves got $32
out Of the safe on the night of Novem-
Der 26, without using the destructive
nitrogly cerine. He saved the safe.
The State Bank at Chapman, Neb.,
was dynamited on the night of No
vember II, yielding $4,000.
The entire front Of the American
Exchange bank, at Browns, ILL.,, was
wrecked by nitsoglycerine on the
night of November %. The robbers
got $500. On the same night another
gangs got 1925 ut Piggott, Ark; a
small sum at Metz, Ark; 500 at Law
ton, G. IT,; 1856 at Terrell, Tex, and
$1,000 at Vallonia, Ind.
over $4,000 was taken from the bank
at Owl, 4. T., on the night Of Novem-
BIZ 80.
Robbers blew a safe at Shelbyville,
Mo-, and got $910 on night Of De-
Gerber /.
This Farmers and Merchants bank,
at Forest Grove, Ore, was robbed OF

which ii runs down inside the door
along the sides of the bottom. This
done, the thieves put the percussion
cap in the soap lip, attach a foot-long
fuse. light 1t and retire outside, clos
ing the door. Sometimes when they
are blowing a safe inside a vault they
even close the door of the vault. These
precautions lessen the noise and mini
mize the danger of an alarm.
Old detectives say that there are
really no safes that a withstand this
attack with nitroglyceTine. Many
so-calied burglar-proof safes have
been laid open until their experience
has taught them to lose faith in the
name. True, there are safes that fire.
quently resist attack, but this is be-
cause the thieves do not know how
to do It; not because 1t couldn't be
done.
The detectives say that bank rob-
bling is a crime in which only
white men engage. 1t is unknown Of
negroes. Another singular fact about
it is that the men engaged in 1t are
almost all Of an age. 1t is not the
work of boys or graybeards, but the
adventure of men varying little from
IS years. Most of them are ex-con-
victs. Detectives have observed that
a safe blower once settled" as they
call conviction and imprisonment, in
variably returns to the soup and soap.
The explanation is obvious: He needs
ready money.
The inference from all this is that
the winter can have no terrors for
the bank robber. Handsomely reward

MORE OF LIFE FOR HOWARD
Supreme Court of United State
Grants Thirty-Day Stay In Gel

Washington, Jan. 30.-The supreme
court of the United States Monday

by the Kentucky court of appeals. The
motion for the stay was presented by

ST. LOUIS AND MEXICO CITY
Metropolis of Southwest and
Mexico's Capital.

st. Louis, Jan. 29.-The United
States and Mexico. North Americas
sister republics, destined in the es-
timation of all to be closely allied
In the ~stupendous accomplishments of
the future, have been brought within
a semi-weekly fast train service, CIV
ing a 60-hour schedule between St.
Louis and the City of Mexico. Begin
mig on January 16, each Tuesday and
Friday thereafter, at 8 a. m. a through
v%estibuled train will leave the st. Louis
Union station over the Iron Mountain
route, and at $50 p. m, two days later,
will land its passengers in the ancient
capital of the Montezumas-the pres
ent metropolis and seat of government
OF modern Mexico. Unquestionably this
new departure means much for both
nations concerned. 1t is a shortening
OF the links in the chain of fraternal
amlty, born of a better understanding
OF their mutual interests, and will
bring about a still closer social and
commercial relationship. Credit is due
the several through lines which have
co-operated in this laudable enterprise
the Iron Mountain. the Texas & Pa
cifc and the International & Great
Northern (all Gould roads, on this side
the Rio Grande, and the National lines
OF Mexico beyond Laredo-though be-
yond a shadow of doubt they will reap
a rich harvest from the rush of tourist
and commercial interests to profit by
this opportunity of speedy and comfort
able travel, a delightful change from
the customary slow time, frequent
changes at junction points, and the
tedious !ayovers that formerly robbed
travel of its pleasure. The train will
comprise through compartment and
standard drawing room sleepers, and
observation and dining cars, affording
every comfort and luxury of modern
railway service.

All Precautions Useless.
Banks in all the small towns in
these states were literally turned into
~arsenals, while a thorough, u~p-to-date
equlpr2ent of burglar alarms was
generally installed and special armed
watchmen employed by the banks.
The methods employed in practically
every one of these bank robberies have
been the same. The loot has seldom
failed. Sometimes it has amounted to
$25,0 900 from 8 single robbery, and
1t has scarcely ever been less than
1000.
Not since the days when the IA
mou Reno gang of bandits terrorized
the people with its daring crimes has
the country been so boldly worked by
bank burglars as it was during tie
autumn just past. With the advent
of the rural telephone and the de-
velopment of the interurban electric
railways the states boasted of prog
ress that was popularity supposed to
make the profession of yeggman SO
hazardous that organizations of bur
glars and systematic looting Of banks
would be abandoned. But such seems
not 10 have been the case.
Missouri, which invented train rob-
berry, usually leads all the states OF
the union in bank robberies. This
year, however, the state where peo-
pie have ito be shown" has been
outdone by Indiana, Illinois, Ken
lucky, Kansas, Arkansas, the Indian
Territory, Oklahoma, Texas and
Nebraska, all parts of the favorite
range of the bank robber.
1t is strange, but true, that few rob-
berries ever occur out of season. A not
able exception was at Royal, ILL.,,
where a bank was robbed of Sc, 1000.
This robbery occurred in August. The
most remarkable recent case occurred
early last fall when robbers broke into
a bank at Mineral Point, Wis, and Sc.
cured $25,290.
Robbers Work in Gangs.
1t is singular that very few Jobs
are done singie-handed. 1t is tradi.
tional that bank robbers and safe
blowers work in gangs. They send
in two men to do the work and leave
