DISASTROUS SPOT
FOR THIS FARMER
FRANK LockEs is ROBBED At
SAME PLACE HE WAS FOUR
YEARS AGO.

At almost the identical spot at Graz
ham street and the Government road
where he was wounded in the fore
head by an unidentified assailant four
years ago. Frank Lockes, a wealthy
Henrico county farmer, living near
Fort Lee. was encountered by a high
wayman late Saturday night, and had
$72 taken from his person
Lockes was on his way home after
disposing OF all of his goods, and had
gotten but a few miles down the Cow
eminent road when a man suddenly
jumped in the rear of his cart, and
was on him before he was aware of his
presence. Holding fast to Lockes and
without utterlng word. the highway
man proceeded to thrust his hand into
the pocket of his victim. After SEE
curing the roll containing the s72. he
released Lockes and disappeared into
the darkness, as mysteriously as he
had come
Four years ago on the same spot
he was shot for some unknown reason
by a highwayman, who had hidden
himself near the roadside.
The hold-up was reported to the
Henrico county police authorities. and
officers are now working on the case.

John Roller, the mad Hungarian
tailor, who has once been declared
insane here and has twice been driven
from Richmond because of his OBJ
noxious attentions to a young society
woman of the West End, and for
hidden to return under penalty of de-
portation or commitment to an asy-
lum, returned to Richmond last week
and was arrested yesterday morning
in Petersburg
He was here last Friday, 1t was
said, and went to the home of the
young woman, where he was thrown
out. Major Werner was Immediately
informed of his return. and set po-
lice to watch the house. Roller
learned that his return was known,
and went to Petersburg. where he fell
into the hands OF the police. Detec-
tive Sergeant Wiley was sent TO bring
him back yesterday afternoon. but saw
the wrong man and returned without
his prisoner. Later Information re-
ceived by Major Werner showed that
Roller had been arrested and was still
in custody. He will be held. and an
officer will be sent for him this morn
ing.
Roller was saved from commitment
to an asylum on his previous arrests
by the intervention of his friends.
His attorney. Benjamin Lovenstein,
went on his bond in Police court for

Thoroughly disguised. Major Wer-
ner will now take active steps to have
the immigration authorities take a
hand In the matter or have the mad
tailor sent to an asylum to be cured
of his infatuation.
Roller met the object OF his insane
affections several months ago in South
Carolina. and has pursued her ever
since, both by letter and in person.

That this winter will mark the best
record Virginia has ever made In Its
support of tuberculosis work was the
cheerful prediction yesterday by the

Captain w. w, Baker, president OF

ton. when seen last night by a VIZ
gilman reporter was very cneerfoi:
Reports of the sales UP TO Saturday
night" said Captain Baker, indicate
that this winters record will excel that
OF any previous year. and that the
total sales OF Red Cross seats Will
make possible a much larger work
than our association has ever before
attempted.
in Richmond, as usual, the sales
began slowly, but the young women
of the Nurses Settlement. who have
the work in charge, think that the
people are becoming aroused and thal
Richmond will not be behindhanu IN
its contribution TO this cause. Inc
stand at the postoffice will be opened
In a few days and this, we expect,
will greatly increase the sales
"Richmond's nearest rival Is Roan-
oke. where the free medical dispen-
sary is conducting the sale. Reports
received today show that the Roam
oke agents have placed more IMAM

forest products produced annually is
two billion six hundred and ninety
million feet, valued at twenty-five mill
lion dollars. equal in value to the
tobacco and wheat crops combined
About one-third of the forest products
is manufactured in this State.
This bulletin gives to the farmer
market values of the different kinds of
wood. There are some kinds now that
are much more valuable than In for
mer years, and the farmer, not know
ing this often sells his timber much
below it's true value.
This bulletin gives the names and
locations OF the various manufacturers
In this State who use the different va
rieties. SO that the farmers can locate
a market for the particular kind of
timber he wishes to sell. The hulle-
tin is full of valuable and interesting
