which demolished the outer door of
the safe but failed TO force the inner
door.
One citizen was wounded in the
fusilade which was discharged by the
bandits. Before beginning their OPP
erations the robbers destroyed all
telephone communications.
Several posses have taken the trail
in pursuit of the band under the di-
rection of the Office of the sheriff.
These posses have scattered in diff
ferent directions in the hope of in
tercepting the bandits no matter
which way they may turn either as
a body or as they may scatter.
The men in pursuit number about
100 and are all heavily armed and
well mounted. 1t is believed that
success will attend their efforts and
an encounter and battle with the rob-
bers is looked for either during the
night Or tomorrow morning. during
which capture will either be made or
the men killed.
Those in the band are not ali
known here. though several of the
number are said to have been recog-
nized as belonging to gang of sup
posed cattle rustlers who have given
much trouble in this section of the
state for some time past
During the raid on the town today
everybody was driven indoors and

TURNED DOWN
GOVERNOR
SENATE REFUSES TO PASS STATE
ASSESSORS BILL At LAST
HOUR-MAY RESULT IN CALL
OF SPECIAL SESSION.

CARSON March 19.-One of the
last acts of the legislature was 20
kill the bill that provides that the
state board of assessors be abolished.
Their action Is all the more notable
since it was only last night that the
acting governor sent special mes
sage to the legislature asking that
the Office of state assessors be wiped
out of existence.
On account of the adverse action
of the senate on the acting governors
recommendation in regard to the
banking law, the abolition of the
state board of assessors and several
minor matters 1t Is possible that a
special session of the legislature will
be called. Acting Governor Dicker-
son would make no definite statement
on this matter last night.

NASHVILLE. Tenn, March 19.-
John d. Sharp was today acquitted
OF the charge OF numbering former
Senator +. " Carmaek. With sharpe
acquitted but Two OF the PRINCIPAL
actors in the now famous trial of
Robin and Col Duncan b. Cooper
are still In Jail
The jury, which reported this aft

verdict for the father and son. II
was again sent back To the jury room
by Judge Hart for further eonsidera-
tion OF the case Sharpes dismissal
from custody was then ordered by
the court
At late hour tonight no sign had
come from the jury room and IL has
been concluded that no verdict will

II then. Many believe that the jury
will remain unable TO agree and that
the court will finally be Obliged to
order It's discharge.
To the latter course Judge Hart
Is known to be very much opposed
and II Is considered certain that he
will bold the body 10 It's duties until
there is absolutely no longer hope
for its reaching a decision II is
therefore thought likely that the
jury will be kept at least until to-
morrow night and possibly over Sun
day, unless an agreement is reached
and report filed in the meantime.
Interest In the case has been In
tense throughout the day and APP
pears TO be growing as the jury con-
tinues unable To agree. IL is argued
that the latter fact and the attitude
of the court In desiring that the jury
shall reach a decision II possible IA
vors a verdict eventually similar to
that rendered in the case of Sharpe
today II Is said that the jury is
now about evenly divided for and
against acquittal.
Sharpe appeared on the streets
this afternoon Immediately after his
acquittal He went direct to his
home but shortly thereafter returned
to the streets. where he was greeted
by his friends about town effusively
and received congratulatlons on the
outcome OF his trial.

that both man and beast had the
