CHIEF BROOKS TO
ONT THE FORCE
Intrepid Sleuth Expects to
Engage in Professional
Detective Work.

FOR many months, Harry L
Brooks, police chief of clarksburg
has taken a gerat interest in de.
tective work and it is stated that al
the end Of his present term as CHIEF
or sooner. he will retire from the
police service to identity himself
with detective agency either as
local representative or as field agen,
in larger city.
1t will be remembered that Chief
Brooks is the brave sleuth who
swooped down upon an Italian
boarding house in Glen Elk and
fought off Fourteen fierce foreigners,
each of whom was armed with a
stiletto, and effected the arrest OF nm
alleged desperate character who
was wanted for some petty offense.
This was most daring feat
based on. a most profound knowl
edge OF criminal detection, and its
success impelled him to take up seri-
GUS study of this class of work. He
even took correspondence course
through circulars sent out from
various penal institutions, giving
descriptions of escaped convicts.
Later on Chief Brooks, after dill
gent work of several weeks, brought
about the arrest of seven or eight
hoboes in this city, all of whom
were designated by him as notorious
crooks and yeggmen. They had
committed burglarles somewhere
and had buried great quantity OF
burglars tools and explosives some
distance west OF Salem for the pur-
pose of blowing up the county Jail
here. All the fellows were put
through the third and fourth degrees
by the chief and then released. This
also constituted a remarkable piece
of detective work.
Not to make the story too long,
many other wonderful accomplish
ments are not noted herein but at
tention is called to the chiefs lates,
work along this line in which he re.
received a picture OF an arrested
man, which Eat the time of its re-
ceipt he pronounced true likeness
of man wanted here on charge
of swtndiing, and then went to an
Indiana town in order to see
whether the prisoner was the same
man. In this connection the chiel
displayed the true detective instinct
by announcing to a newspaper re.
porter at the time of departing that
he was going to Chicago.

Freight Train of Twenty-six Cars Bound for Mexican Bor-
 der Passes

A fast freight train was operated through Birmingham last night over the Queen and Crescent system. consisting of 26 loaded cars of provisions, being rushed to tine mobilization point of the American troops near the Mexican border.
 The train was operated between Chat tanooga and Meridian on a schedule equal to many passenger trains, and was in charge of detachment of United States regulars. It was stated that the train was loaded at Chattanooga and the toll mage consisted of such articles as were most needed by soldiers in time of war. It was said the cars contained blankets. saddles leather goods, rations, clothing and tents. The officials Of the Alabama Great Southern railroad at this point kept a special watch over the train from the time 1t hit this division until 1t was de- livered to the New Orleans and North eastern at Meridian.
 This train is the first real sign Of war which has been evident in this city since the sensational mobilization of govern ment troops began several days ago. It Is stated that following this train will be others, all destined for points in Texas on the Mexican border
