BOLD ROBBERY AT
L. M. BENDER'S OFFICE
Thief Entered once Through Window
Noise Attracted Men In Bakery
and Fellow Skipped.

--NoBSe Aftrdcfed Men IN Bakery
| and Fellow Skipped.
From The World Of Wednesday.
A bold robbery was committed Tues
day night about 1880 o'clock in Mr.
Lee M. Bender's office on East Racs
street. All the fellow got was SIT
worth Of postage stamps.
The robber pred on the strips al
the east window which he was Their
enabled to raise. He was evidently
after money but not finding any In
the desk drawers he took tine postage
stamps. II he had gone away then
1t is not likely that he would evel
have been found out. But the fellow
stopped to nail the window strips on
again that he removed. This unusual
proceeding on his part gave him
away.
Hearing the pounding noise at Mr.
Bender's Office and suspecting that
robbe.s were at work, couple OF w
r. Caskeyis nignt bakers slipped
across the street to investigate. One
OF them went TO the closed gate be-
tween the Office and planning mill and
locking over saw the fellow at work.
When asked what he was doing there
the thief made DO reply but stepped
into the office through the door which
DE had left unlocked. An electric
light was burning in the office and
by this means lie was recognized by
two of Caskey's bakers looking in the
window on the north side.
One of the men then ran over to
the bakery and telephoned to police
headquarters and also to Mr.. Bender
OF what was going on. But before
their arrival the thief went up the
steps leading to the loft above the Of
fee, jumped out a window and ran
down through the lumber yard 70
Commerce street, where he climbed
over gate and escaped in the dark.
ness. One of the bakers ran around
the lumber yard to intercept the thief
at the elevator on Commerce street,
but wasn't quick enough to get his
man though he shot after MIN three
times, but without effect.
AS stated, the thief was recognized
as Clay Toup, a youth of about 16
years of age and who has been stay
ing with his grandfather, living not
very far from the scene of the rob
berry. A warrant was sworn out today
for the boys arrest but it is thought
that he has left town.
Mr.. Bender's Office was robbed last
Sunday night, also, and some think by
the same party. Entrance was gain
ed through the same window. This
time the thief got about $3.50 in
money and couple dollars worth OF
postage stamps. In neither case was
anything else taken, SO far as is
known nor was any attempt made to
get into tine iron safe.

DISTRICT PRIMARIES
WERE HELD SATURDAY
Hon. John J. Hetxel lie Beaten fol-
Chairman Of the Meeting Which
Was Held In Arden.

Was Held In Arden.
From The World Of Saturday:
The republican primaries were held
! in the county districts this afternoon
at / O'Clock.
AT these primaries candidates were
chosen for justices OF the peace and
school commissioners. Also delegates
to the county convention to be held in
the court house next Saturday, August
s, and three members OF the executive
committee.
Most Of the meetings were harmon
ious and the business was dispatched
promptly. The most interesting meet
ing was that at Arden where there
was contest on between Messrs.
outcalt and Van Metre for delegates
for sheriff.
The meeting was called to order by
Mr. Thomas A. Brown, member OF
the central committee. Mr.. Brown
and Hon. John j. Hetzel were named
for chairman and the fight was on.
The convention voted for their chair
man by ballot, and it was test Of
strength between the two candidates,
Van Metre and Outcalt, Mr.. Brown
being Van Metre man and Mr.. Het-
eel being for Mr.. Outcalt. When the
vote was taken it was shown that
the Van Metre forces held the ball
ance OF power and Mr.. Brown was
named for chairman by an overwhelm-
ing vote. This decided the matter
and the battle was over.
After the lest vote had been cast
Mr.. Outcalt in a neat little speech an
nounced his loyalty to the party ana
his intention to abide by the action OF
the county convention and placed in
nomination the ten men selected by
Mr.. Van Metre as delegates to the
county convention. This action on
the part of Mr.. Outealt met with the
hearty approval of those present.
Mr.. Outcalt was made secretary Of
the meeting. The following delegates
were chosen and will go to the con-
vention without instruction:

RACE SUPPORT
is SURELY LOST
Senator Believes Bryan Will Not
Carry Central States in Which
He viii Make Big Fight.

Washington, Aug I'm the opin-
don OF Senator Nathan b. Scott, the
aDti-negro planks in the platform OF
West Virginia democrats insure be-
yOnd question the success OF Mr.. Tart
In that state at the November cleo
ton. West Virginia has a large per-
ccntage OF negro voters, most OF
whom are accustomed TO vote the
republican tickt. But the Brownsville
AFFAIR created great deal Of dissatis-
faction among them, just as II did
among the negroes of other northern
states, and the republican leaders
there we're beginning to show appre-
hension over what course they might
pursue with respect to the presidency.
BY adopting plank favoring virtual
ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF the negroes, and
also Jim crow" cars on the railroads
the democrats, according to Senator
SCOTS view, have ABSOLUTELY lost ev-
cry chance OF capturing any portion
OF the negro republican vote.
Taft to Carry West Virginia.
Secretary Taft will carry West
Virginia by comfortable majority"
said this veteran politician and mem
Der of the national committee. Il never
have had serious misgiving on this
point, although some of the repub-
licans of the state were somewhat
worried over the possibility OF negro
disaffection. But now, even these men
are cofident that Bryan has no chance
TO get our electoral vote. see no
good reason why anyone should doubt
that Taft will be elected, either.
q There is no way of figuring out
that Bryan can win. He is no stronger
this year in the East than he was III
1896 and 1900, and consequently can
expect to make no gains in that sec
ton. In my judgment, it is absurd
for him or his friends to expect to
carry enough central states to pull
him through without the assistance
of eastern states.
Labor Splits on Party Lines.
"He cannot carry Ohio, in spite of
the hopes OF the democrats that he
may be able to do SO. Neither can
he carry Iowa, Kansas or Wisconsin,
where the democrats intend to put up
their strongest fight. The expecta-
ton of democrats that they can win
over large percentage of republican
wage-earners is based on a very f1imsy
foundation. 1t has been my observa-
ton that organized labor divides
pretty evenly on party lines, and
expect it will do so this year"
The situation in West Virginia in
regard to the two state tickets is re-
garded by Senator Scott as serious.
But Determined efforts will be made
at once to remove this pressing dan
ger to republican success by obtain
ing the withdrawal of one OF the gu
bernatorial candidates and effecting a
merger of the two tickets. Senator
Scott intends to work on this prob
lem without delay.
