PINE BLUFF THIEF
 HAS 4 BAD RECORD

The S. Louis Globe Democrat Of recent date has an interesting story of the criminal career of Walter Christopher. white man, who was sent to the Arkansas penitentiary from Pine Bluff several months ago for robbing box cars and who escaped from the prison at Little Rock later, but was recently captured at Jackson, Mo, where he is now in jail. ChristO- pher is one of the smoothcst criminals that the authorities of this city have eyer dealt with. l. was through the efforts of Constable Frank Stewart of this city that he was finally placed behind bars here and had it not been for the carelessness of penitentiary attendants, he would now be serving his term in the State prison at Little Rock.
 Since an Investigation has been made into the recent doings of Chris topher and an organized gang of "Yeggmen,' the authorities here be- liere that he was party to the bank robbery at Rison, Cleveland county, some weeks ago. The Globe Democrat says:
 The St. Louis police yesterday look ed into the record of Walter Chris topher, the yeggman "organizer' in iail at Jackson, Mo-, whose confession Sunday te Post Office Inspector C. L.. Patterson and C. II. Daues, assistant district attorney at St. Louis, has fur nished much information concerning the identity and operations Of q gang of yeegmen who have committed scores of post office, bank and store robberies in half dozen states.
 The records of the BertiIlon Bureau show that Christopher. whose present alias is Albert Jones, served two terms in th penitertiary at Nashville, Tenn, escaped from jail at St Char les, Mo. and from the penitentiary at Little Rock.

INDIANA, THURSDAY, Ma
PETE" DAILY, WIDELY
KNOWN COMEDIAN, DEAD.
Passes Away at Auditorium Hotel,
Chicago.

Jovial. rotund Peter Daley, VINO
for 80 years has made millions laugh
at his quaint antics on the stage, died
Saturday in Chicago of combination
of grip and pneumonia.
Almost simultaneously with the re-
ceipt of the news in New York City,
cablegram was received by Charley
Ross and Mabel Fenton, who with
Daily were members of the Joe Web
Der show, that the pope had granted
Kate Condor dispensation to marry
Daley
Miss Condor, as she is known on
the stage, was the wife of L. Burke
Scott, who disappeared seven years
ago, it being alleged that he ran off
with a large sum of money made by
the Frank Daniels company under
Charles Dillingham's management.
Scott has not been heard from since
Miss Condor visited Rome, saw the
pope, obtained the dispensation and
cabled Ross and Fenton, who are hus-
band and wife. The cablegram stated
that the pope had agreed to Miss
Condor and Daley becoming man
and wife on August 20.

OPPOSE THE FERRETS.
Operations of Tax Sleuths Are Not
Relished in and Around Logans-
port.

Tax ferrets are going to have a
strenuous time 10 gouge money from
Cass county in the fature, says the
Logansport Journal. :.
Both the Democratic county coi,-
vention and the Republican county
convention will pass resolutions de-
rouncing the ferrets and their meth
DDS and instructing their candidates
for the office of commissioner to go
on record as pledged to make no con-
tract whatever with members of the
ferreting craft.
At present there is but one ferret
working in the county and he has a
contract with the commissioners.
Some time ago tax ferrets attempt
ed to blk the city of Logansport out
of a neat sum by doubling on the
thirty-hve per cent. allowed for ur.-
earthing sequestered taxes-taking
one slice from the county and another

which would realize more for the fer
rets than it would for either city or
county on the taxes thus collected.
The city council repudiated the tax
ferrets when proposition was put up
by them and the city officials in gen.
eral soon blocked the attempt of the
ferrets working for the county to blk
the city funds
Leaders in both parties declare that
the tax ferrets proposition bears such
strong resemblance to the craft of
porch climbing and second story work
that they will go on record.
