Along the entire coast were many
thousands of trim craft and comfort
able homes.
Today fiocks of vultures hover over
the devastated towns of southern Lou

casses of animals and men.
Stunned by the damage that was
wrought by winds and waves, the work

burned or buried In the marshes where
they were found.

Hudson Unveiled Following Park
Dedication.

New York, Sept. 27.-Water yielded
to air today as the most prominent
element in the Hudson-Fulton cele-
'bration. The eyes of a million turned
from the naval display in the Hudson
toward the blue skies above, where be-
fore the day was over they hoped to
see the areoplanes of Wilbur Wright
and Glenn H. Curtiss.
Lacking aeroplane flights the holiday
crowds still had plenty of attractions.
Palisades park, stretching fourteen
miles along the Hudson, and the shaft
erected In memory of Hudson on
Spuyten Duyvil hill in the Bronx. were
dedicated today. The park dedication
occurred at Alpine landing, opposite
Yonkers. Governors Hughes ofo New
York, and Fort of New Jersey, were
the principal speakers.
The ceremony about the Hudson
monument occurred early in the after
noon, at the conclusion of the exercises
at Alpine landing. Hughes spoke here
also. Other prominent speakers were
Gen. Stewart L. Woodford, president
of the Hudson-F Fulton commission:
Mayor McClelland, of New York, and
Archbishop Farley, of New York. The
American warships anchored near this
point and fired salutes and the Half
Moon dipped her flag in honor of the
navigator that had piloted her original
up the river for the first time.
1t was announced that the aeroplane
flights would not be made today unless
weather conditions were favorable, and
stiff breeze that blew from the north
west out to sea made the prospects for
an exhibition today far from encourage
ing. An adverse wind made 1t practi-
cally certain that the race Of dirigible
balloons from New York to Albany
for a $4,000 prize, offered by New
York newspapers. would not start to-
day.

Citizens in skirmish With Bandits.

Runnells. Sept. 27.-Three bank rob-
bers, who Sunday morning attempted
to rob the Farmers Savings Bank of
Runnells, were surrounded in thicket
near Cordova by posse of citizens af-
ter a wild chase of nearly fifty miles IN
hand cars, In which a number of shots
were fired.
Shots were interchanged thruout the
night, but the citizens posse and the
deputy sheriffs, who have been rushed
to the sceie, contented themselves by
simply preventing the escape Of the
bandits and awaiting dawn before be-
ginning any aggressive tactics.
The town of Runnells was awakened
Sunday by the shock of the explosion.
i'Citizens fastened to the bank and dis
covered practically one. entire side of
the building blown away by the force
of the explosion.
The robbers were seen cropping about
in the smoke, but apparently they be-
came frightened when they noticed The
citizens peering at them from every
point of vantage. With rifles to their
shoulders they announced that they in
tended to fight to the end. They fred
volley toward the tewnspeople which
was answered by a few scattered shots.
Before an effective posse could be Or
ganized the robbers escaped
Practically every man capable uf
bearing arms in the town was called
on by the sheriff and the pursuers were
soon on their way The trail of the
bandits was picked up and they were
traced ten miles in southern direction
to the town of Adelphi
When the posses reached that point
1t was discovered that the postoffice
had been dynamited and $40 in cash

been secured. The building was badly
damaged.
The officers. believing foot chase
profitless, seized a hand car, going ov-
er the Wabash tracks. A few miles
from Cordova, after practically every
member of the hand car crew had
worked himself into exhaustion, the
bandits were sighted some distance
crew were redoubled and they gained
rapidly on the tired outlaws.
The speed of the hand car slackened,
however, when the highwaymen poured
volley toward the car. No one was
hit.
The bandits then took to the woods,
firing constantly at their pursuers.
Farmers came up from every direction,
and in little time the thicket was
surrounded Any approach by the dep
uties was answered by flash from the
woods, and, as dusk had fallen, it was
decided to await daylight before storm
