THINK ROBBERS ARE
PROFESSIONAL GANG

Der exactly whether he bad counted $I75
or $500 when two girls. who come every
morning for stamps. stopped at the win
dow and asked for their regular morn
ing supply The girls were standing TO
the north of the stamp window and
short. boyish looking man was standing
on the south side OF the window.
AS the clerk turned his head to get the
stamps for the ladies the man stepped
TO the window his hand darted under
the iron SCREEN snatched one of the rolls
of bills and he was off down the corridor
and out of the door to Eighteenth street
almost instantly
With shout at the fleeing man to stop,
Mr. Dial swung open the window screen,
jumped through the small window and
started in pursuit. The robber had
crossed Firs. avenue when Mr.. Dial
rushed out of the door, and continuing on
nm Eighteenth street he darted into First
alley and ran west. Mr.. Dial still kept
ND the chase, calling to bystanders to join
him in the attempt to run the fellow
down. No one came to his assistance and
he los. sight of the thief at Sixteenth
street.
Sheriff Higdon was notified and asked
to bring his bloodhounds to put on the
trail of the man. The dogs were not
available. and in case they could have
been secured the weather was unfavor-
able for their use
Saw Two Men Lettering
Night Waterman Draper at the postof-
flee saws that there were Two men loiter-
ing about the building practically all
Thursday night. He said that one was
taller than the other and that he thinks
these are the men who committed the rob-
berry. The two ladies who were purcnas-
ing the stamps at the time of the theft
are unknown to the postoffice authorities.
If they can be found it is thought that
they will be able to give an accurate de-
scription of the man or men.
The roll of bills which was stolen con-
sists of one $50 bill. some $50 bills and
many of lower denomination. When the
roll was snatched almost from under Mr..
Diars hand, he called clerk TO watch
the remainder of the cash before he start
ed on the chase after the burglar.
All the postoffice OFFICIALS are working
ON the case with all their energy and
with the cooperation of the police it is
expected that more arrests will follow in
the near future and that more evidence
will be found which will bear on the case
and enable definite charges to be placed
against the men already arrested.

One of the most fortunate happen
ings of the year was the revision OF
the selling price in this district of steel
bars and steel plates. This fact was
officially announced by the Tennessee
Coal, Iron and Railroad company in the
following terms 1.-THE products of our
Bessemer rolling mill are being sold
f. o. b. Bessemer for about 81 per
ton for steel bars and SO per ton
for steel plates less than steel bars and
steel plates can be delivered at that
point from Pittsburg. The difference
of 81 per ton is due to the fact that
railroads haul plates from Pittsburg
to this territory for 81 per ton less
on plates than on bars.
