LOCKED UP IN HIS OWN VAULT Bank Cashier Has Thrill
 ling Experience.
TRUE WILD WEST ROBBERY
Vault Looted of Nearly Three
 Thousand Dollars.
The Cashier Was Closely Confined For Fifteen Hours And Was More Dead Than Alive When
 Recessed.

Charlotte, N. C., Feb. l6.--Whiie one masked robber held up the cashier in true Wild West style, his two compan- ions footed the vault of the bank at Granite Falls, N. C., early last night. secured all the cash in the institu- ton, s2.700. forced the cashier to enter the vault and after locking him in, made good their escape.
 The robbery was not discovered until 3 o'clock this morning. When Cashier w. G. Whisnant did not appear for breakfast, q feeble tapping was heard In the vault and when 1t was opened. the missing cashier staggered out. more dead than alive from his fifteen hours of close confinement. According to the cashiers story, three strange men wearing masks entered the bank at o'clock Saturday evening and while one of them held him up at the point of q pistol the other two, obliv- ious of the fact that pedestrians were passing the door, proceeded to help themselves to the banks cash.
 The work was done quietly and rap idly. When satisfied that they had ap- Drorriated the available cash, tn e lone robber forced Whisnant to enter the vault and then locked him in. Whis- nant declares he made all the noise possible in his cramped quarters but his disappearance was not noted until this morning. The banks capital is only sfO 900, and the loss is embarrassing though neighboring banks have offered aid.
 l Granite Falls Is a mili village of several hundred Inhabitants located in an. inaccessible portion of Caldwell county.

2 EddyviIie. Kya Feb. 1s.-Night Rid CTS. 300 strong, ail masked. visited Ed- dyviIis at o'clock this Sunday. morning. and whipped ten, men. four of them white and six negroes.
 The white men who are today suffer- ing from sore backs as the result of a severe chastisement with switches, are: Police Judge c. ". Fucker. Leslie Woods, former city marshal; Press Fra Iy, who occasionally acted city marshal. and Grace Robertson, a saloon porter.
 The connection between the whipping of the white men and the negroes and the tobaco war in Western Kentucky is not apparent, and no one has been able to offer any expianation- None of the victims was known to Dc either active or Influential in opposition to the farmers pooling movement. No at tempt was made at destroying stored tobacco.
 The riders were we'll drilled and we'll armed About 250 entered the town from the direction of Trigg County. and the remainder from the opposite direction.
 over a thousand shots were fired during the course of their stay. but the only casualty reported is that of
 
 have been grazed by stray bullet. The home of Judge Fucker was badly damaged before the riders were able to get hold of him, the walls being ridiled with bullets. doors and shut ters torn, of, etc. After taking each of the men, to the edge of the town and whipping them, they were allowed to return home.
 After ti1e whippings had been admin istered, the mob awakened County Judge W. J. Crunibaugh and warned him that his immunity from similar punishment hereafter depended entire iy on the friendship he was expected to show the tobacco growers organi- zation. He was told that his gray hairs alone were responsible for his being spared this time.
 The only tobacco man visited was T. M. Bradshaw. who is q tobacco prizer for one of the growers associ- atfons. MT Bradshaw was ordered to close up a billiard hall which he owns.
 Before leaving the town. the riders anfsounced thfE they had not finished thelr work and that they would return before many days.

 Malxes a Test Run.
 Newport News, Ve-. Feb. 1e.-With broorns at her mastheads and yard arms. announcing that all records had been swept aside. the new armored cruiser North Carolina returned to the shipyard today. During her third speed test run off the Virginia Capes. be- tween 7:5o and 1f:30 o'clock last night. the ship.maintained an average speed of 224S knots, or forty-eight hun drcdths of 6 knot in excess of the con- tract speed requirement. This was the best speed ever made by vessel of the arrnored class.

 maSame HseatFsctionss


 Galveston. Tex.s Feb. fes~-0n the steamer Cfispin. wtich hffived In the roads three miles out from Galveston today at noon. there were two cases of yellow fever. The two men affect- ed are Third Engineer Davis and Third onicer Pritchard.
 Relative to the cases. pr. J. H Flor ence. State Quarantine opicer. made the following statement:
 "The ship is anchored in the roads, three miles out from the docks, is well isolated and thoroughly guarded. The ship was fumigated as far as possible. and every precaution Is being taken to prevent any spread of the disease The temperatures of the officers and entire crew will be taken twice daily and a close watch will be kept on the ship. The vessel will not be allowed to come to port until all possible danger Is passed. The ships surgeon advised us that during the passage to Galveston, five members of tiie crew were sick with the fever but these have recov- cred. The captain of the ship and the ships surgeon were rendering every aid and have offered no objections to the quarantine precautions that have been instituted. The fact that the dis ease is from Brazil is favorable point, for the Brazilian yellow fever is.Sriot regarded as virulent as other types of the disease. A trained nurse was sent to the ship to care for the men, one of whom Is quite sick"
 This afternoon Dr. Florence invited Dr. Corput. United States Marine Hos pital Surgeon: Dr. Truehart, City Health Physician, and pr. Cox, County Health Oficer, to go to thel ship and inspect the eases.
 They all concurred in the diagnosis reached by pr. Florence.

CAN'T ELECT
 A SENATOR Kentucky's Deadlock Re mains Unbroken. LIMIT OF POLITICS PLATED Friends of Former Governor Beck- ham StilI Hopeful Principal vehicle for CAarses and Cosster-CAarses Is Bin se Extend Provisions of County Unis
 Leeai optio. Law.
 

Frankfort. Ky. Feb. is.--The Ken- lucky General Assembly has balIoted for. exactly month in an effort to elect a United States Senator to succeed James B. McCreary. and today Is ap- perentIy no nearer an election than ft was on the day the first ballot was taken.
 On the first vote, former Governor Beckhasn. who had been nominated at the Democratic primaries, received 66 votes; former Governor Bradley. Re-. publican caucus nominee. sf votes, while seven Democratic members were scattering and one Republican absent through illness. During the month In which balloting has proceeded. Becl<- ham gained back Senator Tabb. who voted against him the first day but lost Representative Blair. while Repre@ sentative Denham, who was i'll, has res covered and is now voting for Bradley, making the relative standing Of the two candidates practically the same as when voting began.
 During the four weeks intervening. however. the limit of politics has been played by both Democrats and Ropubv iicans in the effort to secure an ad. vantage in the race and break the dead lock.
 The principal vehicle for charges and counter-charges has been bill to ex-l tend the provisions of the county unit local option prohibition law uniformly to all counties of the State. The Re- pubiicane have charged that the Beck ham Democrats have used this but as a Legislative football, seeking first to deal with the recalcitrant DeemocrmtR by agreeing to hold lip the bill, and falling in that. to hang 1t over thaiE heads aa punishment for their .faii- ure to support the Democratic noFnl- nee. On the other hand. the prohihi- fion Democrats assert that the Rsepub- licans have violated the emphatic den- laratioFis of their last state platform by voting with tlle sn+caiied rsquor Democrats fc delay the bin. It was charged by the Backham Democrats laSk week thnt ah assreelnaut was reached mbafsby the Rebublicafs were to aelfTeF forty vata9 f0 delay the pros hibftiom pilI h exchange for four votes from the minority Democrats to uhseat two Democratic Representatives. thus puttfng Bradley within tiTfee votes Of victory, On the day when th:s charge was first made. forty Republicans voted Go delay the bill, which, the Democrats assert. is vindication of this accusa- ton.
 Contest cases involving the seats of Democratic Representatives Mahin of Jessamine County and Woodford of Bourbon County, will undoubtedly come up earlyNin the week and the Beckhan Democrats say st will then be disclosed whether the minority Democrats will keep their part of the alleged bargain. In the ,mea ntime. the friends of Beck ham are making every effort to. pre- vent the loss of any of their votes.
