Hope To Locate Robbers III
Gotten Booty.

Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday,
the Pinkerton National Detective
Agency has had from fifteen to twenty
local men, under the direction of their
own specially assigned officials, scour-
ing the country from Okahola to Bon
homie, and for distance of five miles
on each side of the N. o. & N. E. R.
r., seeking to find some trace Of the
stolen bag of money or some evidence
of the robbers, having hid at least a
portion of the contents of the express
safe robbed by them. The expenses
of this large posse of men are being
provided by the Express Company
The deputies are searching the terri
tory as with fine tooth comb" as
one of the men expresses 1t.
While to laymen all this appears
to be a useless effort, no one need
lie awake at night to sympathize with
the Pinkertons or the Express Com
pany because of their seeming expen.

people are not novices, and they al

activities in the pursuit of criminals
Just remember that the world IL
their parish" and that they will catcf
those robbers; If not on this continent
then on some other.

CROSSTIES PLACED

Bad Wreck Probably Avertsd BY Pas

Myrtle, Miss. May 22.-Frisco fast

Memphis and Birmingham at $3.50
o'clock Monday night, would in all
probability have been wrecked by
would-be holdups had 1t been on sched-
ule time last evening.
The through passenger train was
side-tracked at some local station on
the line, and Mr.. Snipes. engineer Of a
through freight train, had orders to
run on No. 6's time to New Albany.
AS the freight train was nearing the
curve at Waltlerville, Miss. a small
station about six miles beyond New
Albany, huge pile of crossties was
discovered, but the distance was too
short to come to stop, or even to
slow down.
The engineer threw open the throt-
tie, but, as there was very low pilot,
heavy engine and considerable power,
the train struck the ties, knocking
them off the track without damage to
the train. At this juncture Engineer
Snipes saw three men concealed in q
nearby thicket watching the. maneu'
vers of the train and crew.
The men seen by the freight engi
neer are the ones (supposed) who had
deliberately planned the wreck of the
through passenger train.
The ties we're seemingly stacked OF
top of each other for the purpose, /
is thought, of arousing the fear Of thu
engineer, who might then come to |
slow down and give the would-be rob
bers a chance.
Many passengers owe their lives 7
the simple fact that the freight wa

Washington, May 22.-At midnight
Senator Dixon issued the following
statement from the Roosevelt nation

There is no furthre room for argu-

local oldge of Elks. The officer before
whom the warrant was made didn't
appear particularly enthusiastic about
it, doubtless thinking that Mr.. Cooke
was very peevish person, and that it
would be bloomin' shame to thus
mar the prospective festivities. He
therefore required Mr.. Cooke to de-
scribe the barrels specifically, which,
according to the warrant, could be
found in the room of Abrams Broth
ers.
The officer round seven barrels all
right, but, instead of being addressed
to Abrams Brothers, they were con-
signed to the Elks' Club. Having no
warrant authorizing seizure of barrels
thus consigned, he waited until the
next day to make his returns, which
simply showed property not found.
Thus the Elks had their suds, the off,
Ger discharged his duty, and nobody
felt bad about it but Mr.. Cooke.
1t appears. however, that since the
cessation of the festivities of the Elkf
Messrs. Abrams Brothers have con
cluded that it is their time to fee
badly, and they are arranging to bring
suit against Mr.. Cooke for damages il
the sum of $4,000.

Columbus, o., May 22.-Indications
this afternoon are that Taft may con-
troll the state convention and name
the six delegates at large to the Chi
cago convention. Harmon is accred-
tied with 35 district delegates against
7 for Wilson. Harmon will name the
six delegates at large.
1t is estimated that Roosevelt will
have a pluarlity of twenty thousand
over Taft.
The democratic returns show Har-
mon far in the lead of Wilson, while
Champ Clark and w. ]. Bryan got
scattering votes. Harmon's majority
1t appears will exceed the Roosevelt
margin of victory.
Indications are that Roosevelt sup
porters will dominate in the state con-
vention which will name the dele
gates at large.
Complete returns from fifty nine of
the eighty eight counties show Roose-
welt carried forty five of them and
Taft fourteen. OF the fourteen coun.
ties which are so far reported as car
ried by Taft one half of them are
Democratic strongholds where the Re
publican vote was very light.

SHOOT Will
BE HELD
Local Gun Club viii Invite Number
From other cIubs-To Increase
Membership.

Upon call of President Hickman, the
Hattiesburg Gun Club met Monday
night, at which time a committee was
appointed to canvass for members. 1t
was decided to arrange for a Shoot"
on July 4th; to which shooters from
Laurel, Meridian, Jackson, Yazoo City,
Greenwood, Natchez and Brookhaven
Will be invited. An attendance of at
least so visiting shooters is confident
ly expected. This will be the biggest
event ever pulled off by the local club,
and they will celebrate it with a bar
becue at Hamper Park, for the visitors
and members of the home club. The
committee will work to bring the
membership up to 100 by the time of
this interesting occasion.
The club house and trap have been
moved to a position south of Hardy
street and west of the home of H. S.
Stevens. Two additional traps will
be put in, so that it will permit three
teams of five each, to indulge the
sport at time.
Some of the merchants of the city
have consented to offer prizes for the
best scores, and others will be asked
to do so. Coming as it does on the
national holiday, the attendance OF
spectators, at the shoot will doubtless
be large.

they become able TO cling to lofty
support and climb higher and higher
