Exciting Chase After Negro.

Wednesday afternoon of last week
Chief of Police S. A. Hand had hot
chase after some negroes, but he sue
ceeded in capturing all three. The
negroes were Lewis Witherspoon
Blaine Smith, and Baby Jones. The
chief had them under suspicion for
day or two, and had spent the night
before at Denmark on the case
Wednesday afternoon he located
them in the bay up near the culvert
above town, where no doubt they
were gambling, and while they got
wind of his approach and took leg
bail, he kept after them, and on foot
ran them for about three miles or
more and captured them over near
Binnaker's bridge on the Charleston
&, Augusta public road. He was
given much assistance in the capture
by Jacob Grant, a negro who lives
in that community. Grant took his
mule out of the plow and getting on
the animal, gave chase to the fugi-
tives, and held them up with a shot
gun while the chief was armed with
his pistol. It was long chase and
a hard one, but the chief never let
up and turned back, although he got
mighty tired.
They were all tried Friday before
Acting Mayor J. D. Copeland, Jr.
Witherspoon had several charges
against him: drunk and disorderly,
fighting, vagrancy, etc., and was given
a total of 120 days or $3.50. He took
the days and is now on the county
chain gang. Smith and Jones were
given $500 each and they paid up.
Witherspoon is strongly suspected
of being in the crowd which robbed
the hardware store of J. A. Hunter,
and he will be tried on this charge
when his present sentences expire.
Chief Hand has been diligently at
work on this case, and has some
strong evidence as to the guilty par
ties, and he will no doubt land them.
The mayors court has been right
busy the past week. Mintzer Moye,
negro, was given fine of $1,000
for being drunk and disorderly and
fighting. He paid up.
Wash Abels was also fined $1,000
on the charge of being drunk and
disorderly. He, paid up as well.
Monday Frank Pew, Jr., was taken
up on Main street. His was Just a
plain drunk, so his fine was $500,
which was paid.

The Fitting School,

It is pity that our, Bamberg
school is in bad way. A thriving
town, fine water, excellent building,
a good record, and yet prospects for
commendable fall opening the most
discouraging. What was the matter
with Hopkins? 1 believe that is the
name of the gentleman who was
elected, and promised, and abscond-

that made him fee? I hope the trus-
tees will have the grit to stand by
the old school and hoist her colors
high upon her ramparts again.-E.

Train Robbers FOiled.

Leadville, COL, Sept. 17.-Sheriff
Campbell and a posse are to-day in
hot pursuit of five men who late last
night held up and tried to rob an
express train on the Denver & Rio
Grande Railway near Melta.
The bandits dynamited the express
car after climbing into the engine
and forcing the engineer and fireman
to leave the cab at the revolver's s
point. Unable to force the express
safe, they escaped without any booty.
It was learned to-day that there
were three men in the gang. They
are supposed to be in the mountains
and every pass believed to be avail
able for the escape of the bandits is
being searched.

Every community is divided into
workers and shirkers, hopers and
mopers. The workers toll on cheeri-
ly, daily contributing to the pros
perity of the place and full of hope
and plans for it's future. The shirk-
ers hang back, contribute nothing
to it's welfare, criticise those who
do, and talk despondently Of things
in general. Strange as it may seem
it is easier to be a worker than a
shirker and certainly it is good
deal better all round. Then, also,
there is the satisfaction Of knowing
that ones life amounts to something.
Therefore, don't shirk, work; don't

bOrdeTed on the east by Green river. At
the last session of the legislature an ap-
preparation of 5000 was made for a
bridge at Green River, but no bids for
the bridge could be obtained at that
price, and Emery and Grand counties
have to make up about $500 or lose the
state appropriation.
Funds for this bridge also will be pro-
vided in the bond issue and there may be
something left to grade the roads. Many
new projects are being started in this
neighborhoOd and with $4,000 spent on
the roads there would be a boom in the

WANTS JAP RECEIVER

Nippon Financier Tries to Reorgan-

Especial to The Herald-Republican)


Ogden, Nov. 6.-Kiso Xiii, correspon-
dent Of the Characterization Industrial
corpc ration of this city, states that the
japanese business men of ogden are put
ting forth their best efforts to finance a
new and independent Japanese-American
bank to succeed the one that recently
became defunct because of its relation
snip to the parent bank in San Fran
cisco.
Mr. Xiii states. however. that this can
not be accomplished until after the af-
fairs of the defunct bank have been sat
isfactOrily adjusted. The depOsitOrs of
the old bank, he says, must be taken
care of before there can be any assur-
ance Of success in the Incorporation OF
the new bank.
The idea that prevails with the Japa-
nese financiers is that the depOsitOrs of
the new bank should become identified
with the institution as stockholders, and
have a voice in the handling of their
money.
Mr.. Xiii is of the opinion that the de
pOsitOrs will receive at least 70 per cent
of their deposits in the defunct bank,
especially if a Japanese receiver is ap-
pointed to aid in settling up the accounts.

spite Of all sorts of medicines.
This wretched condition continued

night, and in few days began to grow
stronger.
IT had a new feeling of peace and
restfulness. In a few weeks, to my
great Joy, the headaches and nervous
ness left me, and life became bright and
hopeful. 1 resumed my studies and
