on him and reward his efforts
handsomely. He deserves a great

 A little more than year ago when Dr. Jones was stricken with a sudden illness and died leaving a widow with a babe of six months, one of the brav- est struggles it has been my lot to witness was begun.

ATTEMPTED ROBBERY
 WIPED IN BUD
And as Result Two Negroes Now in Jail. Awaiting
 Further Development.

Saturday night between nine and ten o'clock, Ed F. Gee, who was alone at his home with his son Sidney, was attracted to the outside by much barking of his dog, and on going out to inves- tigate noticed a negro walking in front of his place. He paid little attention to it and returned to the house. Later the dogs began making more noise and he went out again. This time he saw the same negro in front of the house and another person pass the back of his house. He went back in the house and re- tired. Later his son, Waytus, came home and told him that he saw a negro in front that looked sus- picious and that he thought he would go out and get him. Waytus went for his gun, but it was missing. MT. Gee then went out and got the negro, brought him in and telephoned for Marshal Marsh. In the meantime, Jim Horn was return ing home and went through the back way---the old brick yard--- and saw two negroes leave yard.
 The negro captured was placed in jail and sweated. He said that there were three negroes in the plot. That he was to get MT. Gee out and that the other two were to kill him and take his money. The negro gave the names of the other two negroes, and one of them has since been arrested and placed in jail, and the officers are on the lookout for the other one.
 The postol that was missing from MT. Gees residence was found next mo ming in the lot near where MT. Horn had seen the two negroes.
