Maxwell, tired of two weeks trail
ing, brought the prisoners to Lund on
the evening of the Sth in time to con-
meet with San Pedro freight train No.
81. At Lund a party of sympathizers
greeted the prisoners. MaXwelfs SuS-
picions were aroused and he ordered
the apparent friends of the prisoners
out of the cabOose, had the prisoners
handcuffed and also examined them. A
few insistent ones were permitted to
give the outlaws a last goodbye. The
prisoners had been thoroughly searched
and handcuffed, and were presumed to
be safe. Notwithstanding Maxwell s
strenuous cross-country trailing, he
never relaxed his vigilance When the
train reached Crestline, New, at ,
o'clock yesterday morning, the summit
south of MOdena, the train crew, called
ahead by their duties, left Maxwell
alone with the prisoners. Davis had
been resting his head on manacied
hands all the way. and the other outlaw
was apparentiv asleep.

Great Things Prophesied.

The next four years should be a pc
riod of great development in the south.
An era of general good feeling, empha-
sized by the great head of the nation
on the many occasions that Will be pre-
scented to him. will give more conf
dence at home and abroad. and both
are greatly needed. Capital will not
continue to be alarmed as it has been in
the past by unkind criticism.
"A higher respect for the law. a
greater observance of order. should and
win follow. The prevalence of a kind
lier sentiment will bring about a great
err tolerance of differences in opinion
and promote a freer discussion, which
always brings enlightenment.
Economic and industrial conditions
will exert a more profound influence in
shaping the destinies of the south than
they have hitherto. More and more
are We realizing the necessity for CO.
