In the circle by some Of the very best
procurable local talent and two exceed
ingly clever dancing artists Of Smyrna,

compliments could be truthfully given
to those who took part in the program
and it would be q pleasure If space

was a success both as q theatrical effort
and in point Of finance, the boys being

MILFORD ICE PLANT
DESTROYED BY FIRE.

Atabout 4.S0 a. M. on Monday morn
lBg last fire started in the engine room
OF the Milford Ice Plant and before ths
firemsn could do anything to check its
headway the building containing the
machinery YVES entirely destroyed. The
loss is about $1,000 and there was not
any insurance. The freezing taOks were
saved and the boiler was not injured
seriously, but the engine and pumping
fixtures, with the cooling pipes were
ruined.
There were four distinct explosions
Of amOnia which shook nearby houses
and one tank was found near the home
OF DR.. Paris T. Carlisle, one in Joseph
E. Hollands yard and one near the
home Of John B. Smith. Fortunately
they did no damage to either person or
property. When the smoke stack fell
the men of hose cart No 2 had a very
narrow escape from death, one man
being knocked down and the pipe fall
ing between the crew and the cart.
The large storage houses were both
saved but one end Of the smallest was
burned of.
The plant was owned by George H.
Draper and located near the railroad
yards. He will rebuild just as soon as
it is possible. There is only about suf-
ficient ice on hand to supply the trade
of Milford until May first.
No one is able to account for how the
fire originated as the plant would have
started up for the season this week. 1t |
WAS first seen in the engine room and
rapidly spread to the oil and amonia
.anks.
Had the town have had an all-night
telephone service the alarm would have
1een given earlier as several persons at
distance saw the fire fully twenty
minutes before the water works alarm
vas blown for the fiIenen.
After the firemen arrived on the scene
hey found no pressure of water in the
mains aud before the direct pressure
vas made the entire building was lay
Dg in ruins. There should have been
rOmpt COP nection for direct pumping
lade at once; but there has been so ,
lany alarms given for only a chimney
some slight blaze, which could have .
cen extinguished by a pail of water, i.
lat the station does not know what to
o but it is always safe to prepare for
le worst.

EXPRESS ROBBERS
UNDER ARREST

s ST. LOUIS, Dec. s.-A dispatch to the
Globe-Democrat from Palestine. Tex,
says:
It has been learned from reliable
sources that five men and boy COM
posed the band of train robbers that
robbed the Pacific Express car and
murderously assaulted Messenger Z.
NJ Grfssett and threw him from the
rapidly moving train at Eylan Siding.
near Red Water. last Saturday night,
when northbound Cottonbelt No. 4
was held up. OF these five are under
arrest, two having been taken into
custody at Camden on the arrival of
the train. It is positively stated by
men in a position to know that these
two were identified by Messenger
Grissett when taken before him at the
company hospital Tuesday evening.
Two other men, one said to be a
prominent citizen of Texarkana, were
arrested in Texarkana on Wednesday,
and the fifth arrest is that of the train
news boy, who was captured at Waco
Thursday. All of the men. 1t is as
serted. were pronounced to be the
right ones when taken before the in
jured messenger.
On leaving his train at Texarkana
the newsboy, it is said, went to Dallas.
thence to Denison. where he decided on
a change OF route. and from Denison
came to Waco. where he was over
taken by the detectives. Owing to the
ironclad secrecy maintained by the Pa
cifc Express officials, 1t was impos-
sible to learn the names of the men
under arrest
Notwithstanding the assertions of
the cficials of the Express Company
to the effect that not more than $4,000
was secured. II has been learned from
:undeniabie sources that the amount
was very close to $4,000.
