He will be informed that there is a large slice cut out of his nomination, and it looks like the bull pup had been play ing with 1t, but he Is welcome to what is left.

RICHEST HAUL IN THE
HISTORY OF HOLD-UPS
Bandits in Mississippi Secured
More Than 100000 from
Express Car.

New Orleans. May 1.-THE two
masked bandits who early yester,
day morning held up the fast New
York limited train of the New Or
leans & Northeastern railroad near
Hattiesburg. Miss, made, perhaps,
the richest haul in the history OF
train robberies.
1t is positively known that from
the safe which was blown open
with nitro-glycerine in the South
ern Express car the robbers secur-
ed more than thirty packages of
currency, one of which contained
more than $4,000, representing
the monthly pay-rolls of the New
Orleans & Northeastern and Ala
bama & Vicksburg railroads at
Meridian and Hattiesburg.
According to passengers on the
train, who returned to New Orleans
to-day, Express Messenger Gray
stated that one package in the car
contained $4,000. This the Off
Gals OF the Southern Express COM
pany deny, but the general belief is
that the total booty secured eX-
ceeded 100000.

WITH HIS LIFE ALLEN
MUST PAY THE PENALTY
Leader Of Virginia Gang Of Des-
peradOes That Shot Up
Entire Court.

Wytheville. Va Nay 17.-Floyd
Allen, leader of the Carroll county
gang which shot up the court at
Hillsville on March IA, causing the
death of FIVE persons. was found
guilty of murder in the first de-
gree. The verdict of the jury car
ried with it a penalty of death, and
he will be electrocuted.
The verdict of first degree MUIR
der was reached only after many
hours of elaboration. in which
some of the jurors stood out for a
lesser penalty.
Floyd Allen was placed on trial
on April 80 for the tragic court
house fight in which Judge Massie,
Prosecuting Attorney Foster and
Sheriff Webb were killed. Two 9TH
er persons died subsequently of
their wounds.
Floyd Allen was charged specifi-
eally at this time with the murder
of Commonwealth Attorney Will
liam NJ. Foster, prosecutor in the
Carroll county court at Hillsville,
last March, when the trial of Floyd
Allen eliminated in the killing of
five persons, viz: Presiding Judge
Thornton l.. Massie, Prosecutor
William M. Foster, Sheriff l.. F.
Webb, Miss Elizabeth Ayres and
Juror Augustus Fowler. The news
of the shoot-up of the court Great
ed a pronounced sensation and sent
a thrill of horror throughout the
country.
The tragedy created a panic in
the little mountainside town of
where the inhabitants al
ways held the Allen clansmen in
deadly terror. Arrests of several
of the Aliens followed the shooting,
but five of the principals escaped to
the mountains. Rewards for their
arrest resulted in three of them
being taken, but Sidna Allen, lead
er of the clan, and Wesley Ed
his nephew, have never been
