THE MILK WHITE DOE.
Story Of Early American liisiOry-A
Legcud About the Roanoke Islands
and the First White Child Born
In America.


nok store window brought 20
mind the old story of the fam
Gus milk white doe, which runs
as follows:
ITO Sir Walter Raleigh is
due the effort TO establish Eng
iish colonies in Virginia and
North Carolina. His expedi-
tion was sent out in 1854 and
consisted of two ships, com
manded by Barlow and Amidas.
They landed at Ballast Point
on Roanoke Island, now in
North Carolina. I have In my
home a piece of rock which
was fished up at Ballast Point.
1t is claimed that this rock was
a part Of the ballast brought
over in Raleigh's ships. No
rock like it is TO be found any
where near the island.
"The Indians were friendly
and when the ships returned 60
England they carried back with
them.two Indian chiefs. Wan
cheese and Manteo. In 1885
I Raleigh sent out another vessel
under SIR Richard Greenville
who established a colony at the
northeast corner of the island

"She became well known 10
the Indian hunters on Roanoke
Island aud one Of her haunts
was the site Of the ruined
City of Raleigh, and there
thew would see her alone with
her sad face turned toward the
east. In vain they tried to
shoot her. but their arrows fell
harmless at her side. When
hunted, she bounded over the
sand hills with the swiftness Of
the winds and always ran in
the direction of Croatan. She
always took the Same course
and hunting parties Of Indians
would station themselves along
the course. All their efforts 70
capture or shoot her failed. She
seemed 20 have charmed life.
They thought she was under
the protection Of the Great
Spirit. The swift white doe
was now taxed about by every
one. The braves and squaws
and papooses talked Of her.
They came TO believe that she
was some strange apparition.
Some feared her as an evil
thing Some thought her pres
ence was an omen of good, and
some that she was the spirit of
some sad, departed spirit.

To RELIEVE
CONGESTION
Of TRAFFIC;

Long sidings are to be placed along
the route of the E., j. & E., especially
between Joliet and Gary. as a result
of the general inspection of the road
by Vice President Rogers and Super
intendent McManus which occupied
Tuesday. Wednesday and Thursday.
The sidings will allow the heavy
freight trains to pass, and thus elimi-
nate as much as possible the conges-
ton of traffic which now prevails.
There IS no plan at present to double
track the road. and it is possible that
1t will never be done, at least not
within this generation. No one knows
what the future will hold. but 1t is be-
lieved that with sidetracks from
quarter to a half mile in length that
the passing OF trains can be so ar
ranged that there will be no delays
1t is well known fact that the u"
is now at the end of its resources so
far as trackage is concerned The
heavy business that has come to the
road since the fall rush and the re-
vival of business has shown the off,
Gals that there must be some remedy
at once.
Therefore this inspection of the SUI
perintendent and the vice president, the
second since Mr.. Rogers elevation to
the office he now holds. is of more sig
nificance than the first.
Added to this there is a report that
there is shortage of cars throughout
the country, the heavy shipment of
grain having caused a great demand
for cars. None now stand idle on side
tracks the way they did in the early
summer.
All of the local roads have felt the
dearth of cars. The Rock Island has
the most, but the Santa Fe
and the Alton also have been pressed |
to care for their freight traffic
The Michigan Central. so far, has
been fortunate enough to get all the
cars it needs. but 1t is running heavy |
freight trains from Joliet to Lake. |

CLERK GETS
$40 AND A
RAIN COAT

Thursday morning in Broadway day
light, while scores of guests and en-
ployes We're circulating about the cor
ridors and lobby of the Gary hotel
Walter Lee. the young man who has
been employed as night clerk in the
place. skipped out of the place accom-
panied by $40 in cash belonging to the
hotel and a raincoat owned by one of
the employees.
The robbery, which was only d.
vulged today by one of the Gary po-
licemen, was one of the boldest Jobs
perpetrated in this city A note left
on the register read: Clerk has gone
out. will be back in a short time
1t is hard for the authorities to I'M
derstand why he did not leave during
the middle of the night At any time
during the night he would have had
an excellent chance to make his es-
cape. but it is believed that he waited
until morning so that he could catch
a train out of the city. One dollars
worth of stamp money which was lying
near the cash bag was untouched
Discusses Penitenf1ary.
A peculiar fact in regard to the rob
berry is that the proprietor of the no
tel. George O'Donnell, stayed up until
a late hour the night before talking to
the clerk and a friend about peniten-
tiary life. and the clerk had remarked
that he didn't see how a man could be
fool enough to take a chance Of a
ter min the penitentiary for a few dol
lars" The next morning he became a
fugitive from justice.
The robbery was not discovered by
the employees of the hotel until after
: o'clock this morning Guests were
complaining because the night clerk
had not called them. and because there
was no one at the desk yesterday
morning. Finally when Mr. O'Donnell
was aroused in the morning, not hav-
ing been called. the note on the desk
was found by one of the employees.
and a hurried investigation revealed
the fact that the $40 in cash was gone.
A full description Of the young man
has been furnished by the police and
they believe that there is a remote pos
sibility of landing him. The probabili-
ties are that he took one of the early
morning trains for Chicago
