TRAIN HELD UP.
Robbers Get Away With Several
Sacks of Mail.
The Express Cars Carried by
Another Section Escaped.

Savannah, Ca. Dec. 12--Atlantic
Coast line train No. 80. which left
Savannah for New York early this
morning. was stopped by robbers near
Hardeeville, S. c., just before day
break. Several sacks of registered mail
were taken.
The train was running in two sec
tfons. The express cars, at which it is
believed the robbers aimed. were car
ried on the second section and escaped
attack.
D. H. Mercy, the night telegrapher
at Hardeeville, cleared the train from
that station. Soon after it got away,
but before it had gone out of sight, it
stopped. A few minutes later the sec
ond section arrived from Savannah.
The crew ran ahead to find out what
had happened to the first section, but
by this time the robbers had escaped.
The robbers, who had been passen-
gers on the train, forced the engineer
to stop and, covering the flagman and
conductor with revOlvers, they made
the flagman open the mail car after il
had been detached and run forward
some distance. Here the two mail
clerks were made to give up the reg
istered mail
A posse was sent from Savannah to
take their trail.

GIRL IS IN PRISON
Eva May Kreiter Is Taken to
Sioux Falls.
Former Topeka Girl Second One
in Dakota Institution.

Aberdeen, s. D., Dec. 12.-Eva May
Kreiter, the Topeka girl, convicted for
the murder of her husband on a farm
near Aberdeen, N. D., has begun the
serving of four years term in the
state penitentiary at Sioux Falls. To
the daughter of the sheriff who ac-
cOmpanied the. girl murderer to the
penitentiary, Eva Kreiter expressed
the belief that she would like the
place
Il think I will like it real well
here" the former Topeka girl told the
sheriffs daughter, as she entered the
office of the warden and surveyed her
new surroundings. Really, it isn't as
bad as l had thought although guess
I will be awfully lonesome before the
four years are ended
The young woman is the second wo-
man prisoner in the North Dakota state
penitentiary. Her only female compan-
ion in the big prison is a negresS who
was sent to the Sioux Falls institution
several years ago. Eva Kreiter is but
II years old. By establishing a rec
ord for good behavior, the young wO-
man may reduce her sentence to less
than three years.
Eva May Kreiter was married on New
Years day, this year, to Philip Krei-
ter, at Topeka, with whom she had cor
responded for several months. When
Kreiter went to Kansas from Illinois,
he is said to have exhibited a wild
jealousy because his bride smiled and
joked with her former young men com
panions. At a dance there was trouble
and Kreiter desired to take his wife
from her former surroundings on the
East side.
With the $4,000 which Kreiter had
at the time q his marriage he
bought a farm near this place. Evil
dence showed that his bride resented
the removal to Dakota, but accom-
ranied her husband to the new farm.
six weeks later kreiter was stabbed
to death by his girl wife. Kreiter had
been drinking and the young wife tes-
titled that her husband, in a fit of
sealorsv. knocked her down. The girl
seized a butcher knife and stabbed her
husband IN the back He died a few
hours later.
Witnesses told of statements which
the Young woman made before the
killing. To these people she had told
what she would do with Kreiter's
money after his death. On several oc-
caslons she expressed contempt and
hatred for her companion.
The jury returned a verdict of guilty
of rnanslaughter in the second degree
and the young woman was sentenced
to a four-year term in the state peni-
tentiary-

BURTON GOES HOME

tor, left Topeka for his home in Salina
early this afternoon. The senator has
been in Topeka in consultation with DR..
C. J. Mulvane, one of the family physi-

was still weak and was assisted to the
platform
Il have not been feeling very well,
I'll admit said the ex-senator just
before the train pulled out of the In
ion Pacific depot. 4 came up to To-
peka on business the other day and
while here L stopped IN to see DR.. Null
vane. 1 feel much better now than
did when I arrived and believe that all
is well. I haven't really been SICK
Speaking of the report that his firm
in san Antonio, Tex, had gone into
the hands of the receiver and he was
suffering from nervous collapse fol-
lowing this failure, Mr.. Burton said:
Nothing to that story. A large
number of firms there have been
placed in the receivers hands. but we
arc in good shape"
The ex-senator apparently is in
poor shape physically He talked in
q slow, rather forced manner and
walked slowly from the depot waiting
room to the train.

ad a. School teacher at Peters Rest
School Alexander Joseph, on his own petition

excellent service he has rendered in the

The petitioner has been teacher ut Peters
Rest School with permanent appointment
for about 81 years. His income for u series
Of years has amounted TO about 1000 Pres.
yearly.
Following the usual practice in such cases,
the Government would have proposed to

four ninths of the income mentioned, with
deduction of so much as would correspond
to the annuity purchusnble with the amount
(about 1920 Frcs) saved up for him IN ac-
cordauce with 81 Of the School Ordinance;
but in view of his long and good service,
of which the Government upon his discharge
has expressed its appreciation, it Is proposed
to increase this support by SO much as will
give him half of the above mentioned IN
come. The annuity would amount, the
petitioner being 81 years Of age, to about
$50 Frcs., and the above proposed support,
accordingly, to Y50 Frcs. yearly, therefore
fer the period from 1st May 1911 to 3lst
March 1912 to G87. so FIRES.

FARMERS URGED
TO HOLD COTTON

Saturday at the State Capitol in
Little Rock there was a large mass
meeting of the farmers, business
men and bankers of the state,
which met in response to a call re-
Gently made by the president Of the
Farmers Union and Gov. Donaghey.
The purpose Of the meeting was
for the formation of plans of main
tanning a good price for the present
cotton crop.
Resolutions were adopted urging
the farmers of the state to hold all
their cotton until they could obtain
a minimum price of IS cents per
pound, and requesting the bankers
of the state to advance money to
the farmers at the lowest possible
rate, to enable those who we're un-
able to do so otherwise to hold
their cotton. The resolution at the
same time urged the farmer to bor-
row as little money as possible.
A committee composed of one
delegate from each county was ap-
pointed to make a report upon the
crop conditions.
Another resolution asks the farm
ers in each of the cotton growing
counties to hold meetings on Satur-
day, October 7th, for the purpose OF
making arrangements to obtain
finances to enable the producers to
care for the distressed cotton, and
to arrange for holding the crop fol
a price of IS cents or more. The
principal addresses at Saturdays
meeting were made by Gov, Dona
ehey and President George A. Cole
of the Farmers Union.
