They Are Caught PIundering
Hardware Store and Cap
tured After a Chase.
HAD HEAVY LOAD OF BOOTY
Willie Wiley and Stewart Clark,
Aged About IS Years, Be-
hind Bars for Burglary.

Caught in the act Of robbing Harry
Johnson's hardware store on West
Pike street early Monday morning
and captured by policemen after a
chase down a railroad track, william
Wiley and Stewart Clark, two re-
fractory boys about fifteen years of
age. are prisoners behind the bars of
the county Jail awaiting trial for
burglary.
The boys were caught roBblng the
store about 1889 o'clock by Police
man Alonzo McCloud who noticed
somebody moving about in the place
and on closer inspection found the
youngsters helping themselves to
articles from a show case. The
burglars saw the officer. dropped to
the floor and crawled to a window
through which they climbed and ran
away. Mccloud gave chase and fred
two shots into the air but the young
sters went to fast and outran him.
Before this happened the boys
had been in the store once before.
They took couple of shot guns and
"a lot of cartridges that time and
vent down the Short Line railroad
track some distance and had quite a
time shooting the. guns at various
targets. Lieutenant OF Police
Nicholas Whyte and Policeman
Farmer heard these shots and we're
investigating the cause of them in
the West End. When they were in
formed by Mccloud, who met them,
that the johnson store had been rob
bed they went out in the West End
again and after securing around they
sighted tfet two boys taking scoot
down the trolley track towards the
river carrying something between
them. The officers, with Van Cleary
who joined them in The chase, took
out after the boys.
When the youngsters reached the
West Fork bridge they dropped the
piunder they were carrying on an
overcoat. The policemen ran the
boys over to the Hazel-Atlas glass
factory, dragged them from under
one of the buildings where they tried
to hide and took them to the lookup.
Policemen went out to, the place
where the boys threw away their
stolen goods later and found wood
en- box filled to overlooking with
cartridges of all kinds from small
calibre target shells to large guage
shot gun shells, weighing altogether
80 or 40 pounds; several hatchets, a
number of butcher knives. two Ian
terms, a lot OF fishing lines and =
number of other articles all wrapped
up in an overcoat.
Harry johnson went before Mag
istrate Gordon Monday morning and
swore out felony warrant against
the two boys charging them with
burglary. The youthful prisoners
were transferred to the county Jail
to await a hearing before Magistrate
Gordon. which has been set for
Thursday next.
The boys are wild youngsters and
have been in trouble several times.
Not long ago they came nearly being
prosecuted by DR.. j. B. Payne for
shooting a lot Of his chickens, and a
few weeks since they both ran away
from home, taking a freight train
towards Parkersburg for a trip to
the West. They told the officers,
when they we're arrested, that they
were lust having a lark.

"a Shall Marry Only Where | Love-"

The Grand Duke-Bah! (Swears

But the princess had in her mind
plan which. had 1t gone through
safely, would have added many gray
hairs to the dukes scanty collection.
1t was a mighty ingenious plan, too,
for woman to figure out.
In his attitude toward the girl the
duke stood alone. Behind his back his
ministers wore out their shoes in wait
ing on the caprices of the girl, while
the grand duchess. half-blind and half
deaf, openly worshiped her willful but
wholly adorable niece, and abetted her
in all her escapades. So far as the
populace was concerned, she was the
daughter OF the favorlte son, dead
these Is years, and that was enough
for them. Whatever she did was right
and proper. But the hard.headed duke
had the power to say what should be
what, and he willed II that the Prin.
cess Hildegarde should marry his old
comrade in arms, the Prince of Dop-
pelkinn.

RACE WAR IN TEXAS
NINE NEGROES lYNCHED
Tragedy Follows the Murder OF Two
White Men, Which Was Laid to
Members Of Black nace.

Houston. Texas-Sunday night nine
Iegroes met death at the hands Of a
mob In the vicinity OF Hemphill, in
Sabine county, and as q result q ter
rible race war is feared, every man in
that section having secured arms, and
an attack is expected at any moment
The lynching followed the killing OF
two white men by negroes. Two weeks
ago Hugh Dean and several other
white men visited the negro church
and school house where dance was
in progress, presumably in quest Of
liquor, 1t being the custom OF some of
the negroes to sell whiskey during the
progress of such affairs.
During the evening Dean was killed
and six negroes were held for the
killing. At the preliminary examina-
ton the evidence tended to show that
the plot was formed at the dance to
kill Dean.
Saturday last, Aaron NJ. Johnson, a
prominent farmer. was assassinated
while seated at dining table with
his wife and child, the bullet being
fired through window. For this
crime Perry Price, a negro, was ar
rested, and, It is stated confessed, i'm
plicating Robert Wright, a relative Of
one of the negroes held for Deans
murder. Price declared he was Of
fered So to kill Johnson.
Then followed the forming of a
mob, the overpowering of the jailer at
Hemphill and the lynching of six ne
groes held for the murder OF Dean.
Five were hanged to the same tree.
while another attempted to escape and
was shot to death. Later in the night
William Mccoy, another negro, was
shot and killed while standing at the
gate of the Johnson home, and next
morning the bodies of two more ne
croes we're found in the creek bottom.

kind, carefully altered the phrasing
and used II in their magazine adver
tisements. They were so far appeased
that they offered me my selection from
