BANDITS ONCE
HID THERE.
Emmett Dalton Visited Cave Few
Days Ago and Said II Was an
lmpregnable Stronghold---Few
Know of 1t.

Carthage, Mo-, Jan.-Emmett Dali
ton, lecturer on morals" and the
only surviving member of the notori-
GUS Dalton gang of bandits, accompa-
MED by his manager, j. B. Trickett,
Constable Norman Bricker and 9TH
ers, visited the wonderful cavern
which at one time is said to have
housed members of the Jesse James
gang, on the hillside overlooking Bel
vile, some seven miles from Joplin.
Until | came here | was of the
opinion that the Dalton gang was the
only organization of outlaws in the
country at any time possessed of a
cave or cavern adequate to their pur-
pose" Dalton said, after the trip of
exploration. 81 am convinced now
that the James brothers were more
fortunate in finding place which, to
my mind, could not possibly be storm
ed and taken by an attacking party
from the outside. Our cave, near
Tulsa, Okla, could in a few WAYS
compare with it.
Only few persons in this vicinity
have heard of the big cave. The en-
trance to it is one hundred feet up al
most perpendicular heights overlook
ing Turkey Creek and Belville. 1t is
surrounded by a thick growth of
brush and trees which have complete
ly obscured the dark opening from
view, and yet any one standing in the
entrance may have clear view of the
surroundings for many miles. The
walls, like the floors and ceilings, are
OF sandstone and in them are engrav-
ed symbolic characters and writing
strange and undecipherable to the
people of to-day, which apparently
that the cave was at one
time used by Indians.
To the right and left of the main
cavern are two passage ways, one
three hundred feet long, the other
about thirty feet. AT the end of the
longest passage the full name of Jesse
James and his brother, Frank, are
in the walls, surrounded by
names supposed to be
those OF other members of the gang.
Emmett Dalton was pardoned from
the Kansas penitentiary in 1907 after
serving a term for his part in raiding
the Coffeyville banks in 1892. He is

Valuable Breed Mare.

1 Vim. Laney, a ruStling Hudson
township Stockman and farmer, Mon
day sold a fine young driving team to
ThoS. Dimes, of St Clair county, for
$4,000, which reminds us of the fact
that Mr.. Laney has in his well-known
family driving mare something that
has been equal to a Government mint
on his place. Zip" as she was
chriStened by the family some years
ago-Of course, we are not going to
say just how long ago from the fact
that horse traders, like women, are
sometimes a little particular about
giving exact figures regarding age
has certainly performed her part
faithfully and well as we learn from
Mr. Laney that up to the present time
he has sold SS0O.0O worth of colts,
has two-a two-year-old and last
springs colt on hand and prospects
at the present time very flattering for
Clip" to add another member to her
family in the coming spring. Mr..
Laney has long been known as one of
the most lSuccessful raisers of good
horses in this part of the country.
Some years ago when horses were
very low and it was possible to get
good team for $4,000, or even less
he sold young Artist filly for
$4,000. Raising horses is just like

Night Riders Names Given.

Carlisle, Ky, Jan.-H. B. Talley
has sent to Governor Wilson the
names of night riders implicated in
the murder of Hiram Hedges, a
Nicholas county farmer, in March,
1908. Talley says he can give the
Governor sufficient evidence to BRING
the guilty ones to justice.
Hedges was called to the door of
his home and killed by party of 200
night riders. He pleaded with them
for his life, saying he would DESTROY
his tobacco plant beds, but they re-
fused to listen and shot him down.

MANY TURNED OUT TO
ENJOY TIE LUNCH.
Hospital Ladies' Making a
Success of Week.

To the strains of sweet piano music
over a hundred persons dined at the
old postofice building yesterday be-
tween the hours of noon and 2:3O
O'Clock, Misses Reblsa and Sarah
Mathis presided at the piano and the
music and the lunch were both of the
highest -andard. The menu and the
cooking and the service were alike
testimonials to the ability of the la
dies, 10 their unselfshness in the good
cause in which they are enlisted, and
the patronage was an evidence that
the public appreciated an opportuni-
ty like this to help the hospital build
ing fund and enjoy a good meal under
unique conditions.
The compliments upon the lunch
were profuse There was no doubt
that the rolls and the cake, evidenc-
ing what can be done with the use Of
Wesson's oil, were as fine as any
thing ever served in Americus. They
introduced this famous cooking oil 10
many who were not previously aware
of its fine qualities and undoubtedly
won friends and future consumers of
it.
During the afternoon Mrs. DeLettre
gave further demonstration of the
uses of the oil Many cans of oil
were also disposed of to housekeep-
ers. The entire proceeds of the
lunches and of the sales of oil go to
the Hospital Association, the South
ern Cotton Oil Company having do
mated all the oil that the ladies in
charge can dispose of.
Today, and every day thereafter this
week, the lunch will be served and
enjoyed by an increasing number of
Americus people. Ladies are invited
to call in the afternoons and see the
demonstrations of the uses of the oil
Wesson Snowdrift oil has 100 per
cent. cooking value, for the reason that
II can De USED over and over again
until the last drop has been made to
do full duty 1t is absolutely pure,
odorless and tasteless. 1t is free from
all animal matter, acknowledged to be
the source of indigestion and dyspep-
sia. From 10 to - o'clock and from
4 to 3 o'clock the demonstrators are
glad to show any housekeeper the
manner in which Wesson Snowdrift
oil may be used to its best advant-
age.
There is no charge to the demon,
stration, and light refreshments are
served free to the ladies attending.
All ladies are urged to avail them
selves of the opportunity to see these
cooking demonstrations daily.

CITY OF AMfRICUS WILL
JOIN IN MOVEMENT.
To Federate the Trade
Bodies of Georgia.
Great Plan TO Direct At
tention of the w orld
to Georgia.

Americus will probably be repre-
sented at the meeting called for At
lanta on June for the purpose oI
organizing a federation of the trade
bodies of Georgia. The Board of Di.
rectors of the local organization are
of the opinion that this city shoulc
have its trade body represented at any
meeting that represents the various
trade organizations of the state. 1t is
not known who will go to Atlanta foI
this purpose, but in all likelihood the
president and secretary and perhaps
one or more other members will be
in attendance. A special meeting OF
the directors will be called to discuss
and decide the matter of local repre-
sentation.
The Moultrie Chamber of Commerce
one of whose leading members inau-
gurated theamovement that lead to the
call for the Atlanta meetin, writes 10
the Americus Times-Recorder as fol-
lows:
Gentlemen: On June 9th there
will be called a convention in Atlanta
for the purpose of federating the trade
bodies Of Georgia. You no doubt have
heard something about this movement.
South Georgia is to gain especial
advantages from a movement of this
kind, and it is incumbent upon Ameri-
Gus to take a determined stand in this
matter.
I'VE are receiving encouragement
from all over the state and especially
from Wiregrass Georgia, but strange
to say, Americus has taken no stand
whatever in the matter. This strikes
US as being a little peculiar, as she
is a city that would derive the great
est benefits from any results that
might be obtained. We would be glad
to have you take this matter up in
the columns of your paper, and make
it an especial feature, as we. need your
assistance.
1--WE are writing the Americus
Chamber Of Commerce today suggest
ing that if they desire it they can call
a meeting of that body, and our secre-
tary, Mr.. 2. H Clark, will come up
to Americas any night and explain to
them the purpose of this movement.
''Moultrie has made arrangements
TO" special Pullman car leaving here
on the evening of the 9th, and we have
about twenty-five delegates placed.
We understand Tifton has the same
number.
'As Americus is the logical center
for Wiregrass Georgia, it is especial
ly encumbent upon your city to take a
strong lead in this movement"
