BRING GREGORY
BY EASY STAGES
CAPTAIN MCMAHON WILL TRAY
Ell BY DAY, LOCK UP PRIS-
ONER BY NIGHT.

Owing to the fact that Captain Nc
Mahon. OF the Richmond police de-
partment, was unable to obtain at
once requlsition papers for Louis l..
Gregory, he was unable to start for
Denver. where Gregory Is held a pris-
oner. Thursday night.
Captain Mcmahon said Friday that
he expects that all the necessary pa
pers will be ready Friday afternoon
and that he win be able to start for
the West Friday evening
Captain Mcmahon will go alone
for the prisoner, although 1t Is usual
to send two men, one to guard the
prisoner while the other sleeps. Chief
Werner, however. said that this would
not be necessary, as the Richmond
detective might return by easy stages,
locking his prisoner up every night,
an accommodation no State authori-
ties would refuse.
1t Is not unlikely that Denver de-
tective may come here with Captain
Mcmahon and his prisoner Having
arrested Gregory. the Denver police
no doubt believe they are entitled to
at least half Of the $1,000 reward Of
fered for his capture, even II the
Information of Gregorys whereabouts
was supplied by the Richmond police.

ROYAL PROGRESS
A GRAND EVENT

Continued from Fret Page>
and General Botha. of South Africa.
These two seemed to arouse more en-
thusiasm than all the rest.
Next came several carriage loads Of
Indian Ra tahs escorted by the Indian
troops. This section furnished a riot
of color and was not worthy as show
ing the military efficiency Of the In
dian soldiers.
Notable Military Spectacle.
Then came the section that pre-
kented one Of the greatest military
spectacles In England's history. II was
the royal section. led by Colonel F.
w. Kerr and followed by all the high
est army and navy officers In the SER
vice. There were detachments Of all
branches Of the army and navy. MS
well as detachments from the Aus
trian artillery the German Hussars
Dragons and Guirrasiers, and the
Spanish infantry. in which King George
is an honorary colonel.
Ii was a Fllttering display Of arms
and fighting men and even the most
phlegTnat!c OF the spectators, even the
most minded. broke Into cheers
as the columns dashed by.
General Kitchener rode alongside the
royal carriage, through the glass doors
of which the crowd could plainly see
the king and queen. George wore the
full uniform OF a field marshal and
the insaenia Of the Order OF the Gar
ter Mary was dressed In white and
wore "a large blue hat, They appeared
IN much rayer mood than ON yester-
day and seemed to have recovered their
wonted huoyancy.
Kitchener rode on the left OF the
carriage and the Duke of ConnauRht
nanght, on the right both wearing

aides were the closing escort

met ia the procession lie rode Just
ahead OF the royal carriage and was
roundly Missed by many who could not
restrain their political dislike Of him.
This however, only aroused the friends
of Churchill and they answered the

procession was finished at l:2e this
afternoon.
Plans Perfect; Executive CaIlous.

hibition OF the most cailous disre-

crowds not only prevented hundreds
OF thousands from attending the func-
tons but robbed thousands who did
attend and who suffered the utmost

Atlanta's alleged BLACK Jack the

twelfth victim within a year, when
the body of a negro woman was found
with her throat cut. The street
cleaning department of New York city
has a serious strike on its hands. The
drivers of the garbage carts are de-

lynch the cashier. The bank had
failed on Thursday. James Don

Owen, his best friend, to death, in
self-defense. Owen was drunk ana
fancied Donaldson had been talking
about him and started to shoot. .....
y. c. Dougherty of Peoria, IL, who
several years ago, while president Of

serving eight years in prison. .The
bodies of Jacob c. LutZ, aged 20 years,
and his wife. aged 60. were found In
their home near Altoona, Ala, Friday
afternoon. Lutz was money lender,
and 1t is supposed that the motive or
the double murder was robbery.
The Chicago police are still making
an Investigation of Mrs. Louise Ver-
milya, whom they charge with at
least two murders and suspect her
of being responsible for eleven others.
Besides c.. c. Boysen, an undertaken,
suspicion points to another accom-
plice of the woman. -. one woman
was killed and two seriously injured
by a bolt of lightning at Ducktown,

man was killed and fourteen persons
were injured by the wrecking of

are twelve American war vessels In

that they will see active service In

Square Deal
Euerytime

1T seems to me that there can be no
other institution of this kind in all the
world that Is more worthy Of the COM
plete and abiding confidence Of the
people than the Mutual Benefit Life
Insurance Company. It also seems
strange to me that all men who carry
life insurance are not in the Mutual
Benefit. I am sure If all knew as I
know of this company's fidelity to the
old, even dead policy holders inter-
ests, they would have insurance in no
other company"
The above paragraph is extracted
from a letter prompted by the pay
ment Of $1,13S.5S under two old poll
cies issued by the Mutual Benefit in
1865, upon which only One premium
had been paid, and under which the
insured died in 1870. For years the
Company did not know Of the death
Of the insured. If you would like to
know more. call on

Special Agent.
