HOUNDS ON TRAIL OF ROBBERS
MINER ARRESTED IN ILLINOIS
HoLD-UP CASE.
Two Highwayman Passed by $4,000
in Loot, Obtaining Only a
Small Sum.

Springfield, ILL.,, June 20.-Two
masked bandits, who held up the the
Diamond Special" on the Illinois Gen.
trail railroad necr here, dynamited the
express car safe and overlooked $685.
600 in loot, are still at liberty. Off
Gals of the company placed the plum
der obtained by the robbers at $19.36.
Members of the s.heriff's force, rail-
road detectives and Springfield police
are searching the surrounding coun-
try. B~loodhounds took up the scent
neal FIT eth and Maple streets where
two men passed on the run and follow
ed the trail into the city. They stop
ped at the home of James Connolly,
20 years old, a miner, who was found
in bed asleep. He was arrested, how
ever, on suspicion of knowing some
thing about the holdup.
In an effort to prevent bloodhounds
from taking up the scent at a point
about a mile south of the city, where
the bandits left the engine, the men
scattered cayenne pepper about the
tracks. One of tie few clews upon
which the police are working is a bag
purchased in a local grocery store,
which contained the pepper.
Contradictory to reports that moth
ing had been taken from the express
car, it was learned that 5000 in cash
had been taken from a strong box in
the express car. Hundreds of express

men were found lying scattered in
the meadow, where one of the revol-
vers of the men had been found.
President Markham of the Illinois
Central railroad, together with Of
ficials of the American Express COM
pany; offered $1,000 reward for the
capture of each of the men.

MOUNT MMNLEY ASCENDED
EPISCOPAL MINISTER REACHES
HIGHEST PEAK.
ArchdeaIon Hudson Stuck Makes
Complete Readings and observa-
tons by Barometer.

Fairbanks, Alaska, June 23.-The
ascent of the highest peak of Mount
Mckinley was accomplished for the
first time June 7, when the party led
by A~rchdeacon Hudson Stuck, Epis-
copal missionary for Alaska, accom-
panied by Robert G.. Tatum, Harry p.
Karsten and Walter Harper reached
the top of the south peak of the noun
tain, the highest on the continent.
News of the success of the expedi-
ton has just been received by a mes
senger sent by DIR, Stuck, who is rest
ing at the base camp. Archdeacon
Stuck expects to return to Fairbanks
In August and will go to New York in
October, as delegate for Alaska to the
general conference of the Episcopal
church.
DR.. Stuck and his assistants erected
a six-foot cross on the summit of the
great mountain. Observation made
with the mercurial barometer indi-
cate the height of the mountain is
20,500 feet.
DR.. Stuck said this could be check
ed by comparing the reading OF his
barometer with records taken at Fort
Gibbon on the same date.
The expedition, which left Fairbanks
March 13, expected to reach the sum-
NIT of Mt. Mckinley early in May,
but was delayed three weeks by the
cutting of a passage three miles long
through ice thrown across the ridge
by IN earthquake last summer.
The party found much evidence Of
seismic disturbances on the upper rid
ges. The upper basin shows evidences
Of a violent upheaval and the ridges
are badly shattered, but the SUBMITS
are not marred.
Archdeacon Stuck confirmed the as
cent of the north peak by Thomas
Lloyd and three companions in 1910,
being able. with field glasses, to see
the flag staff erected by the Lloyd
party.

Victim a Prussian.

DIR. Knabe, who lived alone in her
office apartment in Delaware street,
had won signal honors in her profess
sion. She had emigrated to this coun-
try from Prussia, entered domestic
service, and by dint of the strictest
economy and hard study has finally
graduated from the Medical College
of Indiana in 1904 at Twenty-Five years
of age. After her graduation she
served as an instructor in the college,
leaving later TO become the first bac-
teriologist in the newly created Indi-
ana state laboratory of hygiene. Sub
sequently she opened an office and
succeeded in building up a good prac-
tice. About a year previous to her
death she had become Unidentified with
the faculty of the Indiana Veterinary
College, Of which DIR. Craig was dean.
The Rumors Afioat.
Rumors became rife 500 after the
murder that DR.. Craig and Miss
Knabe had been engaged to be mar
ried and had quarreled shortly before
the tragedy. Mrs. Tenant, house
keeper for DIR. Craig, who Is about
forty years of age, a widow and has
resided in indianapolis for the past
fifteen years, informed detectives that
DR.. Knabe had called on DR.. Craig
two nights before her death and that
a quarrel had ensued. Detectives
traced the movements of DR.. Craig
on the night of the murder and found
that he returned to his home at about
eleven o'clock, changed his clothing
and again went cut. Harry w. Has
kett, who saw the man come from the
alley in the vicinity of DR.. Knabe's
apartment on that night, identified a
photograph of DR.. Craig as that of the
man he saw. On December 81 of last
year DR.. Craig and Alonzo M. Rags

AMUSEMENT NOTES
Edison's Talking Pictures at the Opera
House Wednesday and Thursday.

At last Barre's theatregoers are go.
ing to have an opportunity Of witness
ing the latest and probably the great
est achievement of Thomas A. Edison,
the Kinetophone, or talking picture. A"
Mr.. Edison first introduced his new
"talkies," as they are already termed in
slang, last February, since which they
have been shown in all the great cities
of the world, in the leading vaudeville
theatres at big price OF admission.
Their success has been phenomenal and
all records for attendance have been
broken wherever they have been shown.
As might have been expected the
great success of the Edison pictures have
resulted in innumerable other so-called
talking pictures being offered to the
public, in an attempt to reap the har
vest due Mr.. Edison's great achievement
Many people are deceived by the glow
ing advertisements of these imitators
and are naturally disappointed when
they realize they are witnessing an imi-
tation instead of the real thing.
As a matter of fact while these imi-
tations are called talking pictures"
they do not talk. Their subjects are
made by purchasing a stock musical
phontograph record and attempting to
synehronize motion picture film to it.
