WILL EXTEND UNION
 SPRINGS ROAD President BlOunt Has Fi-
 nanced Deal SEARCH FOR NEGRO Armed Posse Have Negro in Swamp and Threaten To Lynch Him. Crime Committed Near
 Goshen

Union Springs, March 7.-(Special)- President W. M. Blount of the Union Springs and Northern railway today gave out the information that enough bonds had been sold to New York capitalists to complete the extension of his road to Milstead. on the Western Railway of Alabama. This deal was effected during President Blounts recent trip east.
 This means that the work on the line which has been al a standstill for the past few months on account of the fail ure of the Carnegie Trust company. which had agreed to take the bonds, will be taken up again at once and carried to completion. It is very probable that If it had not been for the failure of the Carnegie Trust company this road would have been finished some time ago.
 President Blount also intimated that the stockholders of the road would meet some time in the near future and increase the bond issue from s500,000 to s3,000,000 It is the purpose to reach Tallassee on the north and then build southward to Pen sacola, or some other point on the gulf.
 number of armed men from the neighborhood of Goshen in Pike coun- ty have been about Union Springs for the past two days In search of the ne- gro who assaulted Mrs. John Butt, near Goshen, Friday afternoor. The negro Is said to have been raised near Flora. in this county, and when last seen was headed this way. The men are deter mined to find him and when they do there will probably be a lynching. The heriff of Bullock county and a posse are also in search of the negro. He is now thought to be in the swamp be- tween Aberfoil and Perote.
 The Bullock lodge, Knights of Pyth ias, held a most enjoyable smoker al their hall last night. The committee on arrangements, consisting of H. J. Rosenstihl, A. B. Horn and H. Harris, had done all they could to make the evening one of pleasure, and every one who was present can testify to their success. l. M. Bryan. manager of the Southern Cotton oil company's plant here. acted as toastmaster. Prac- tically all members present were called on for short talks and the witty speeches caused much laughter.

GOODS FOUND ON THE MAYOR
Chief Executive Knots of an Indiana
Town is Caught in a Trap.
ACCUSED OF ACCEpTINe A BRIBE
In order to secure n Franchise, Agent
Dean Passes over the Money and
Supplies Proof of Pay
ment.

GARY, Ind, Sept. s.-Mayor Thomas E.
Knots was arrested today on a charge of
accepting a 5000 bribe in connection with
a heating franchise.
Warrants, 1t is said, have been issued for
the arrest of four aldermen, a son Of an
alderman and a member of the Board of
Public Works, but only one has been
served.
A man connected with the mayor office
is said to have figured in securing the evi-
dence against the city Officials.
Mayor Knots was arrested just after T.
B. Dean, who signed the affidavit, came
from the executive office, with the heating
franchise in his pocket. Dean alleges he
paid the mayor $1,000
Before entering the mayors office, Dean
had himself searched by four persons as
proof that he had the 5000 on his person
when he entered Mayor Knots office.
When he left the room he had himself
searched again. He told the deputies to
serve the warrant and they would find the
money in an envelope in a pigeonhole in
Mayor Knots desk. The warrant was
served and Mayor Knots was released on
s., 1000 bonds, furnished by his brother, A.
+. Knots. former mayor of Hammond,
Ind
Following the mayors arrest Walter
Gibson, councilman, was served with a
warrant, charging him with soliciting a
$500 bride in connection with the heating
franchise.
T. B. Dean came here from Richmond,
KY, to obtain the heating franchise six
months ago. In speaking Of the arrest, he
said that after consulting Chicago law
yer, plan was made to obtain evidence
when he found the franchise would cost
him money.

Value of Race Horse
Goes Down a Peg
Animals Once Worth a Fortune Put
Up at Auction and Fetch Only
Few Hundred.

NEW YORK, Sept. s-The race horse is
not so valuable an asset here as in the
days when the Metropolitan tracks were
running and anti-betting laws were not in
force at the race courses, judging from the
Developments at the Sheephead Bay track.
when Sam Hildreth endeavored to auction
off his string of good campaigners.
Four horses were knocked down at what
Hildreth declares were miserable sums
and he ended the sale forthwith and an
nounced that he would take the stable to
England and there dispose OF Il. The
animals sold today and the prices they
brought are: Puggins. $780, Hampton
Court $500; Royal Meteor S1SO0 and
Restigouche, $1,000. Among those with
drawn from the block were Fitzherbert,
King James, Novelty, Montgomery, Joe
Madden, Firestone, Dianna, Ken and Zeus.
Hildreth was almost fearful as he saw
horses bid in for prices that might have
been doubled or even trebled were the race
tracks flying their banners as OF yore and
the courses not grass grown and unhar.
rowed. He was not alone in his sadness
for near the auction block there stood such
men as Phil Dwyer, Jack McGinnis, Dave
Gideon, Whitley Langdon and Jimmy Nc
Laughlin. who in the heydey of the sport
shouted themselves hoarse in boosting bids
for good horses. All looked OH intently, but
never permitted their hands to stray to-
ward their pockets where the bank rolls
were kept.
