FOUR BANDITS ROB
A SOUTHERN TRAIN
Mail Clerks Bound, Then All

en- by Thieves.
National News Association

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Sept. 17.-Four
bandits held up and robbed the New
York & Memphis fast mail and express
on the southern railway at Stevens
Gap, Ala, at $50 o'clock this morning,
bound the four mail clerks and got
away with all the registered letters
and valuable registered mail Post
Office authorities at Memphis say this
sort of mail is very heavy and the
loss will reach 100000. The express
and passengers were not molested nor
was a single shot fired When the train
stopped at Stevens Gap for coal one
, bandit raped on the mail car door,
saying, "Open it, this is Mcmahon, the
conductor" Instantly the door slid
back and the mail clerk looked into
the barrel of a revolver. One bandit
jumped into the car and ordered all
hands up.
James Flint, one of the mail clerks
! attempted to pick up a Winchester
rifle near him and the bandit told him
quietly to forget it and fall in line"
Flint with his co-workers, Frank
Hamlet, John Bruce and L. e. Powers
were lined up against the side of the
car. One bandit tied their hands and
| feet and gagged their mouths os they
could not call for help.
| Three bandits stood guard. Before
the registered mail was found the
train started. 1t ran about fifteen miles
when one of the men pulled the train
cord applying the air brakes and bring
ling the train to a stop. Taking three
sacks of registered mail the robbers
jumped off and escaped.
!, When Conductor Mcmahon came
| forward he saw the mail car door open
! Looking inside he found the mail
clerks bound. They were released and
, the train proceeded to Huntsville, Ala.
where posse was organized and sent
back to the scene. The posse has a
Track of bloodhounds.
| Conductor Mcmahon said the men
were undoubtedly professionals. They
went about their business cool and de
liberately without firing a shot or dis
turbing the passengers in the sleeper

Glen Miller Park Bear Is Re-

The health of Bosco. the Glen Miller
park bear, has improved. His com
plete recovery is only matter of
time. He has ceased tearing his flank
with his teeth and claws. 1t is believ-
ed that foreign substance, perhaps

responsible for his attempt at self-de.
struction. This is the theory advanced
by Park Superintendent Hollarn. and
thought feasible by the Cincinnati
Zoo authorities from whom advice was
asked.
Bosco will be fed roots and herbs
and sulphur and molasses until he re
covers. The services of a veterinar
Ian were suggested by the Zoo au
thorities at Cincinnati, but Superin

enter the cage, trim Bosco's claws

ssPull out one gray hair and a dozen

call for help. Gray hair, dull, hfeless
hair, or hair that is falling out, is not
necessarily sign of advancing age. for
there are thousands of elderly people
with perfect heads of hair without a
single streak Of gray.
When gray hairs come, or when the
hair seems to be lifeless or dead. some
good, reliable hair-restoriag treatment
should be resorted to at once. Special
lists say that one of the best prepare
tons to use is the old-fashioned sage
tea" which our grandparents used. The
best preparation of this kind is Wyeth' s
Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy, aprep-
aration of domestic sage and sulphur,
scientifically compounded with later dis
covered hair tonies and stimulants, the
whole mixture being carefully balanced
and tested by experts.
