DILLON WALLACE

TRIP WITH INTERESTING
STORY or EXPERIENCES.

New York, Nov. 1-Dillon Wallace,
Arctic explorer, who was recently Civ
Ell up for lost by his friends, is back
among them today with interesting
details of his trip to Labrador He
had gone to place bronze tablet at
the headwaters of the Susan river,
where his companion. Leonidas Hub
bard, Jr, died of starvation ten years
ago. He succeeded in finding the camp
but could not erect the tablet as it had
fallen out of his canoe to the bottom
of Beaver river. Not to ,se outdone,
however, he laboriously chisled upon
a rock:
"Leonidas Hubbard, Jr, intrepid
explorer and practical Christian, died
here October IS, 1903"
Wallace and his party visited Grand
Lake, which he estimated was over
1000 feet deep. AT an Eskimo village
called Nartartuk, he found the Esk-
mos astir over a recent tragedy. An ell
derly man named Korah, who came to
the village with his 16-year-old son,
Jonas, to spend the night, woke up in
the morning to find big Polar bear
standing over the half-eaten body of
his son. The Eskimos went after the
bear and killed it.
When the bears body was examined
it was found to be half starved. Its at
tack on Jonas created great surprise,
as no one could remember Polar
bear being driven by hunger to come
down to village and kill any one to
eat.

SHORT TERM GIVEN BECAUSE OF
AGE OF THE DARING DlA-
MOND THIEF.
CLEVER CAPTURE WAS MADE
Roberts, Who Took His Arrest Much
to Heart, Made Quite an impress
sion on the Judge BY His Frank
Confession Made of His Past Life.

Jacksonville, Nov. Following one
of the speediest trials in the history
ofthe county, in which the arrest, con.
viction and sentence happened within
short period OF 66 hours, c. d. Rcb.
erts, self-confessed auto-Dandit, after a
plea of guilty. today was sentenced to
five years in the state penitentiary BY
Judge j. M. Peeler.
Roberts, who claims now that his
real name is Clarence Stanley, and
his home in Boston, was arrested Wed
nesday night by members of the sher-
iff's and police forces near the corner
of Church street and Talleyrand ave-
nue. during an attempt to rob Miss
Lulu Gaffney of 140 Jefferson ST., OF
several hundred dollars worth of dia-
monds.
The incident in which Roberts was
caught red-handed, as far as can be
learned. has never been equalled in
the histBry of the county, and has ere
ated no small comment over the Sout.,
ern states. The plan of two young men
who had set their minds to rob the
Gaffney woman was overheard in q
conversation, and Immediately the po-
lice were notified of the system OF
robbery to be employed. The trap was
set with several officers OF Sheriff
Bowling and Chief Reach, who waited
for hours in the promised place of the
robbery, believing that such thing,
II brought about, would be miracle.
Most of the officers were inclined not
to believe the information of the chauf
feurs, who impaired the advice, and
when the speeding auto appeared at
the appointed time with the woman
occupant crying for help at the top OF
her voice, while the juvenile bandit
was pressing close to the head OF the
chauffeur cold steel pistol, with
threats that he would pull the trigger
~ he did not bring the machine to a
stop.
The chauffeur, with the knowledge
that he had but a short distance to 60
at the rate OF nearly mile-a-minute,
carried the prisoner under threat OF
death, well within the hands Of the
officers, and, to say the least, surpris-
ed the entire group who had awaited
the critical moment
Roberts, who will be taken away to-
night to the convict camps, his new
home, to brood over his rash act, has
been taking the matter to near: dur.
ing his time of arrest, and in his frank
confession of his past created no little
impression upon the judge and those
