COIN DROPS FROM THE BUGGY
Ameticus Msn Sustalns Considerable

Ameticus Msn Sustalns Considerable
Loss.
A popular AmerIcus travelling man
had the misfortune to lose $500 quite
recently, and the portion Of it in cash
is still missing, He was making a
buggy trip and had collected perhaps
$500 IN cash and in cnecks from his
customers. At some point on the road
the bag containing the wealth was lost
and never recovered. Payment on the
checks. representing perhaps half the
amount, was stopped, but the cash
seems a loss indeed.

Burglars Still Busy in Fulton
and Elsewhere.

Reports from all over the country
say that burglaries are becoming
general II is almost impossible to
pick up a local paper without seeing
accounts Of numerous barglaries.
The Fulton Leader says;
Burglars are still successfully
operating in this community. Two
country homes we're robbed Thurs
day. While the family OF Mr.. Nu-
eent was at church at Palestine
thieves entered their home an stole
a large quantity Of silverware. cloth
ing. etc. One Of the thieves was a
small boy. as he lett his old clothes
and put on a new suit that belonged
TO one Of Mr.. Nugent's boys.
Another burglary was committed
Thursday near Roach's Crossing,
south of town. This robbery was
committed by young man and a
bareioo,ed boy. They we're seen
and pursued by a number Of farmers
but managed TO escape.
There seems to be but one way 10
capture these bold thieves. That
way is to get bloodhounds and place
them on the trial. Al each house
visited the thieves have secuted
enough booty to pay for the service
Of bloodhounds. The surest and
quickest way Of capturing the robbers
is to get bloodhounds.

CANS DEFEATS NELSON
White Lad Lost Hard Fight BY Delhi
crate Foul In 42d Round.

White Lad Lost Hard Fight BY Delhi
crate Foul In 42d Round.
Goldfeld, New, Sept. 4. - Battling
Nelson lost the fight by fouling Joe
Cans in the 42d round of the best and
longest fight seen in many years. Both
men were tired when the fight ended,
but Cans was apparently the stronger.
He was away ahead on points and had
smashed and cut Nielsen all through
the fight without being severely hurt
himself.
The box Office receipts were over
$4,000, and the purse $33,50O. Under
the agreement Nelson receives $22, 500
and Cans $1,000.
Shortly after the 42d round began
the men were in their usual clinch.
Nelson had his head on Cans shoulder
and his arm down. Several times he
hit Cans below the belt, apparently
feeling for a vital spot At last he
drew back his right arm and hit Cans
a vicious blow square in the groin.
The colored boy sank to his knees
and rolled over on his back. Referee
Siler, without hesitation, ordered Mel
son to his corner and awarded the
fight to Cans on foul.

ergNsLANo CAUGHT IN rANeIER
Chicago Bank Wreeker Tracked 70
Moorish City.

Chicago. Sept. A cablegram to
the Chicago Tribune from Tangier, Mo
rocco, announces the capture in that
city Of Paul o. Stensland, the president
and manager Of the Milwaukee avenue
State Bank, which closed its doors on
August 6. The arrest was made by a
representative Of the Tribune and AS
sistant States Attorney Olsen, of this
city, who have been on the trail Of
Stensland since August 49,
The closing Of the doors Of the Mil
waukee Avenue State Bank, which oe-
CURED August 6, probably caused more
anguish, suffering and trouble than any
similar event in the west in many
years. It was followed by several sui
cides. Several people were driven to
insanity. Stensland lived a fast life,
spent money recklessly, speculated
wildly, and in one way and another
made away with about $1,000. 900 Of the
money of the bank before the crash
came. More than $4,000 families had
money deposited in the bank, and the
failure came as a crushing blow to the
majority Of them.
