For this reason the feat was all the

On Friday morning when Ella Town

Mrs. Hood left her handbag, con-
tanning her purse. in rather exposed
position. Shorty happened by and
the $1,000 contained in the purse dis
appeared. In the meantime Shorty
had secured a couple of 'twofers,"
square of navy plug and few matches
and was setting the pace that kills.
Oficers Whitley and Goad were soon
on the trail and after chase that
reduced Mr.. Whitley's breath to
minimum they captured the newly en-
downed savings bank. He had seen
them first, however, and when search

Again breathing the air of freedom,
Shorty sought his money cache and
decided to sport sure enough. A horse

hired. and Shorty started north, A
telephone message to the first toll

He had $3.50 of the money in his
pocket then, and owned up. Esquire

EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE or NE.
MORTAL ASSOCIATION HELD
MEETING.
ACTION TEMPORARILY DEFERRED
subscriptions Still Needed And Pub
lie is Invited to contribute-Money
Should Be Sent TO the Secretary,
{. r. Farrell.

An advisory meeting of the Execu-
tive Committee of the Carmack Me-
mortal Association of Maury county
was held Saturday at the Farmers
& Merchants Bank, nearly every MEM
her of the committee, including the
two lady members, being present.
1t was the sense of the meeting that
designs and specifications for the mon
ument should be secured as early as
possible, together with estimates on
the work, and that the contract should
be let as soon as a satisfactory de-
sign and price should be had. 1t was
decided further that steps should be
taken to secure further subscriptions
for the monument, as the amount SO
far subscribed-about $4,700-will not
be sufficient for the erection OF mon
ument and stature of the character
desired by perhaps $4,000.
Mr. Frank Boardman of Columbia
an artist who has had considerable
experience in the character of the
work to be done, was before the COM
mittee and gave some valuable ln1or-
nation. and also an outline OF the de-
sign which he will submit later for
consideration. Mr.. Boardman has
completed a profile Of Senator Car
mack in bas relief, which is pro-
nounced splendid likeness as well
as an artistic piece of work. Mr.
Roardman has in course Of prepare
ton a small clay model of the stature
which will be completed within few
weeks and will then be shown the
members Of the committee.
Mr. Davis. of the Mcneil Marble
campny, was before the commlttee
and submitted some designs for the
base which were considered very hand
some Mr. Davis told of the work or
this character done by his company
throughout the South, and named a
number of Confederate monuments
and statues put up by his company.
He stated that his company could
have the figure made up by almost any
of the leading artists of the country
and could guarantee the work.
w. e. Britain was also before the
committee and stated that he had no
designs prepared, but would have tnem
gotten UP and would submit them with
a bid on the work when desired. the
committee adjourned to meet the first
Friday in May In the meantime ar
lists and sculptors will be communica-
tad with and an effort made on the
part of every member of the commit
tee to gather as much information as
possible.
With the approach Of active work IL
ia desired to increase the amount OF
the subscriptions, and friends OF the
monument are requested to send IN
their subscriptions without further de-
Law. Those who have already sub
scribed are requested to mail checKs
for their subscriptions to the secre'

the blaze through other workings.
There was a severe explosion OF
gas in the Ross vein in the No.
shaft at the mine. which is one Of the
deepest in the anthracite region, and
this explosion set fire 70 a section of.
the workings. The flames spread ra.
pidly. and were quickly beyond con.

the time. Anthony Protokos, who was
badly injured by the explosion, was
caught in the flames and so severely
burned that he died while the rescuers
were taking him out. and Charles Ken.
kas. fellow workman. was so badly
burned that there is but little hops
for his recovery.
Rescuers. who dashed for the scene
as soon as they heard the explosion
were just able to reach these two men
before the flames drove them back
and they were unable TO discover
whether the explosion involved the
four or five others known TO be behind
the fire or not. The officials believe
however. that these entombed men
were so far from the explosion that
they were not injured, but express
grave fears that they VIII be unable

Mr.. Davenport first applied his ear
