Merry Nat" simply wasn't in it with
the men who early today entered a
store, loaded safe upon wheelbar-
row and carted it away. That one of
the men was captured, under circum-
stances which would tend TO show that
Sherlock Holmes" is well read by the
men under Captain Christie's command,
is cause for congratulation. Food for
reflection, however, is given in the
thought that If such bold feats are not

may back a truck up in front of the
Van Buren street station house some
day and cart it away, occupants in
cluded.
1t should have been midnight, but it
wasn't, when three men. one of whom
trundled a wheelbarrow, halted in front
of Gruber's grocery store ON Chapel
street. Hist" came sharply from the
lips of the leader, a typical Down Neck
bandit in appearance, in the shadow
of the doorway of the store. in which
there was recently a fire. Quickly the
trio forced the door, after assuring
themselves that no COPS were around.
Then entering. like stage burglars to
slow music provided by a jewsharp
played by one. the trio rushed to the
rear of the store. grabbed the safe,
turned around and rushed right out
again. "To the rendezvous" ordered the
leader, as the strong box was loaded
upon the wheelbarrow, and quickly the
trio and their plunder We're lost in the
mist.
Here it was that Roundsman Nc
Rell and Patrolman Keelan showed
their mettle. With William It. Smith,
citizen, they discovered the open door
of the grocery store.

it was "On the trail for ours" from

he discovered traces of footsteps in the

Levy, aged 19. of 2S Hillside place, and
spokeswoman OF q delegation of fifty
from the Charlton Street School, which
| called on DIR. A. 3. Poland today to de-
mahd that Mr.. Bissell be retained in his
position as principal of their school, in
spite of the action of the State Board
of Education last Saturday.
I'VE can't afford to lose Mr. Bissell
and neither can the board. for in this
world you will not find many people
like him.
"Of course, Mr.. Bissell made a mis-
take, but all of us have done that. All
good men have. IF we don't forgive
him, how can we expect God to forgive
us?
'We want Dr. Poland to use all his

II don't know anything about the

him put in State prison. 1 told our
principal that, but he is too good
hearted to do it,"
The delegation appeared in tho cor
ridors of the City Hall during a session
of the Board of Examiners. Half the
Board of Education office force hurried
out to discover the trouble. They were
met by demand from Miss Levy and
her colleague of the other sex, Marcus
Borinsl<y, of 81 WaverIy avenue, that
DR.. Poland appear at once and without
further delay.
Poland Appears.
Looking for me, children?" asked
Dr. Poland.
They were. Then Lillian took up the
discussion and spoke. The doctor lis
tened patiently and then heard from
Borinsl1y, who repeated in different
words the same arguments advanced
by the girl
"And now will you help us?' Lillian
asked when Borinsky was through.
"Of course these are not all the chill

C. Miller, a grocer, has started a suit
against the Rev. T. Moore-S Smith. dog
fancier and formerly pastor of q local
church. The suit is for bill of sl66,
and has aroused much comment, for
the pastors salary was $1,000 year
and he got rent free besides.
He is a great lover of the canine
family and has several thoroughbreds
on his place here of which he is very
proud. Some of the parish looked
askance at the prize winners, and the
discussion developed into factional
fight. The pastor resigned.

In o few minutes nearly the entire
population of Pedricktown was at the
postoffice fighting the fire, and before
the flames were extingulshed the build
ing was damaged to the extent of
about $1,000
While some of the people were bat
Ting with the flames others organized
a posse to capture the robbers. The
men, however, made their escape for
the time being and nothing further was
heard from them for two hours, when
they appeared at Bridgeport, eight
miles from Pedricktown.
1t was nearly o'clock when they at
tackled the postoffice at Bridgeport. a
family named Brown occupied the up
per part of the building. The robbers
forced an entrance and inserted a
charge of nitro-glycerine in the safe,
which almost wrecked the building.
William Brown, the head of the fam
iIS, rushed downstairs with a revolver.
When he reached the postoffice he was
Sfnfronted by the three robbers, who
leyeled their revolvers at him and or
dered him to retreat upstairs.
The robbers then packed up stamps
to the amount of $500, took $50 in cash,
and left in the direction of Woodbury..
Mrs. Brown in the meantime had tele-
phoned to the Woodbury. police, and as
the trio drove into that town they were
hailed by a policeman.
The robbers drove the team on a
sidewalk, and all three opened fire.
The policeman shielded himself behind
tree and returned the fire.
During the fussilade the men retreated
and finally got away. going toward
Wononah, abandoning the team and
leaving a trail of blood. A posse was
organized, and the desperadoes were
traced to Wenonah, where trace of
them was lost.
All Three Captured.
Soon after o'clock this morning two
men, carrying a third, were seen at
Wenonah, and within a short time a
score of farmers, well armed, gave
chase. Soon the posse had them penned
in the woods nearby. Both sides
opened fire. One of the robbers fell,
and the second threw up his hands and
surrendered. The third man held his
ground for some time, but fed further
into the woods.
The wounded man and the one who
surrendered were taken into custody
and locked up in the Woodbury. jail
The third man was finally captured
two hours later.
One of the men, William Mccoy,
who says he has no home, had his face
literally riddled with buckshot. He was
arraigned before Mayor Ladd, at
Woodbury., and committed to jail. Tho
other injured man is at Sewell. under
care of a physician, and 1t is thought
he win die.

of the Sunburst, is taking out a
nice lot of free ore, and cleaning
it on hand ..jigs. Mr.. Hamilton
is an old time Galena miner,
thoroughly. experienced, and is
going to make "a good producer
out of No. 4.
The Common, Law company is
sinking an air shaft about 100
feet west of the mill shaft. The
dirt from the Common Law is
good, but Mr.. Timothy believes
he can work to better advantage
by having an air shaft. The
new shaft will be pushed down
very rapidly, and the water will
be kept in check by the pump in
the mill shaft.
The ap-O'Brien mine is drift
ing on very rich ore, and will
soon let a contract for a new mill.
This is going to prove to be one
of the best producers in the camp
when it is properly opened up.
The ore is found in a conglomer-
ate, like the ore at the Newlands.
Mr.. Heap, the superintendent,
is much elated over the showing
in the new drifting.
Mr.. r. A. Oils, formerly man.
ager of the Big. Chief mine, has
taken the management of the
Mason mine, Mr.. Oils will be
assisted BY Ths6. Hudson. This
is considered I6he: of the best
mines. in.the. Baxter Springs dis
trict, and when theimprovements
contemplated by the new man
agement are made, this mine will
doubtless be one of the leading
producers of. the camp.
The 81 is making a car and a
half of zinc ore per week, and
from the work Underground it
will have enough dirt to run on
for long time. The work is
being looked after by A. Kahr
of Kansas City. 1.-The mill is not
nearly big enough to handle the
ore from the mine, as the dirt is
too rich to allowable mill to be
speeded up, If the mill is run
very fast too much ore is wasted.
The White Eagle mine of the
Eastman Land and Investment
Company is running steadily,
under the SUPPLEMENTARY of
Thomas lakewood, and it is
turning out a large amount of
clean zinc ore each week. Jim
Young, who is looking after the
jigs, tells us the dirt is very
good, and since the mill has been
,verhauled the jigs are doing
better work and saving practic-
lily all of the ore.
Smith G. Gibson of Galena, who
rave taken a lease on shafts Nos.
and 8 of the Sunburst lease,
rave their machinery in working
shape, and are now hosting dirt.
m talking with. Mort Smith the
,ther day-he assured us that the
lirt is rich, and that he and his
partner expect. to make some
rood money out of the property.
dort used to mine several years
go, and. he says it seems per-
ectly naturally for him to get
Jack into the harness.

The sales of ore in the Baxter
Springs camp last week amount
ed to a very healthy figure, and
show that if the ore market was
satisfactory the output would be
something enormous" The ore
is there in great plenty, and the
operators want to take it out. but
they do hate to let the smelteries
make all the profit. Seems late
ly as if the price of spelter has
very little to do with the price OF
ore. However, a great many
mines in the Baxter camp are
working, and the chances are
considered very good for a raise
in the price of ore soon.' When
prices do advance to fair notch
the Baxter Springs camp will
have admirers in all parts of the
globe.
The Old Abe is running stead
lily. again and has at this writing
more than a Car of clean zinc in
the bins. o.. ::
The Wichita shaft is develop
ing rich. The drifting is show
ing up very much better than
the shaft did, and the shaft was
good. A mill will likely be
built on thisproperty this winter.
The Sweeney mill is turning
out lots of nice ore. The dirt is
very rich in both lead and zinc,
and the mill is doing good work.
The mine is turning out about a
car each of lead and zinc each
week.
We understand a deal is on for
the Newlands property. We trust
this property will be started rum
ming soon, for it is a good pro-
Queer. The dirt is very rich, and
the ore is free, being found in a
conglomerate, which makes it
very easy cleaned.
Development work is being
done at the Lancaster. The dirt
from this mine is plenty rich, but
it was deemed advisable to open
up the ground a little more be-
fore trying to run the mill full
time. The Lancaster is going to
prove to be a fine producer. =
The Mission mill was started
up again on Monday of this week,
after a shutdown for repairs. |
This propertyis one of the best
producers in the entire lead and
zinc district, and has develop
ment enough done to insure a
steady run for the next ten or if
teen years. ...

There is now more than a Car of
