Editor Bossier Banner
Dear SIR: AS l have not seen any
thing in your paper from this commu-
nifty in some time, thought would drop
you line or so.
Crop prospects are fire. Good stands
of cotton are to be seen, but the stand OF
corn has been injured some by the root
worm. The weather is fine for farming.
A good rain fell this evening. Things
bid fair for good crops of all kinds.
The oat crop is almost made and looks
good. l think there will be good lot
of potatoes made in our country. There
are plenty of slips, while last year po-
tatoes rotted in the bed.
There is quite a lot of hog cholera
throughout the community. Many hogs
have died as a result. l have not lost
any as yet. Have been feeding my hogs
what consider good preventative.
Many things could yet happen to set
the farmer back, but l anticipate better
times in our country. l look for higher
priced lands and good roads, but the
good roads will not come to us if we
only sit down and wait for them. We
must put our shoulders to the wheel and
roll for them. l am in favor of gooo
roads first, last and all the time. We
can raise in this country almost any
thing that grows out of the ground. L
we could only get it to the market-ane
good roads will take us there if we bu
had them. Yours truly,
| J. ROBERTSON.

An Attempt to Break Jail.

An attempt to break Jail was
discovered Sunday by Sheriff Hill lust
in time to prevent the escape of the
men who were at work. Mason and
Bremmer. the two robbers, who were
arrested last week. and who have been
confined in the Jail since, were dis
covered working on the outside wall.
digging away the mortar from between
the brick. This is the same way in
which two United States prisoners
escaped about seven years ago. The
men had loosened one course of brick
and were making good Roadway when
discovered. Mason had broken the
hooks off his bunk and was using them
to dig the mortar from the brick.
There is nothing between the tiers of
brick on the outside wall to prevent
digging, through in time and only
those who are trusted by the sheriff
are allowed in the outside corridor
Therefore Mason and Bremmer fell
from the good graces of the Sheriff
and are now confined within the inside
corridor which is surrounded by steel
grating and bars.

A Bold Robbery.

Sometime during the night Tuesday
the store of D. R. Stetson on Coventry
street was broken into and looted. A
match vending machine was rifed,
the robbers securing the sum of seven
cents. Some tobacco and candy were
taken and the money drawer opened
but no cash was available The great
est loss sustained by Mr.. Stetson was
in the destruction of gum vending
machine which cost $4,000 and which
the intruders carried to the lower end
of the street and broke open to secure
the nickels within. The machine was
found near the granite shed Wednes-
day morning AMI is total wreck.
The fact that the machine weighed 16O
pounds indicates that there were more
than one. No clue has been found as
to the identity of the persons COM
hitting the act although the idea has
been advanced that the same parties
who broke into the Bigeiow store
might be connected with the crime,
but nothing was found on the persons
of the men charged with the Bigelow
break to indicate that they were in
any way connected with the robbery.

Still Another Automobile Accident

An automobile accident occurred at
about s. 80 on Monday evening in which
Reginald Hanson of Derby and an
automobile belonging to Gilmour of
Derby Line. came together in a head-on
collision Hanson was on motor
cycle and was said to have been gong
at high rate of speed. when upon
rounding the curve at the upper end
of Derby village he met the automo-
bile, and not having room or time to
turn. went straight into the larger
machine. 1t is claimed that the
machine belonging to Gilmour, but
not being driven by himself, was
going at slow rate of speed but was
on the wrong side of the road, thus
cutting off all chance of Hanson
turning out. Hanson was badly
shaken up and bruised beside receiving
a bad cut at the knee and a broken
finger. The automobile was only
slightly damaged.

ATTEMPTED ROBBERY.
Edison Hope Discovers Plan in Time to
Prevent Wholesale Looting OF
Drug Store.

A we'll laid plan to loot the Bigelow
Pharmacy was discovered in time to
nip the fond dreams of those who had
laid the plan and resulted in placing
two of the suspects in the county jail.
At a little after IL o'clock Tuesday
morning as Edison Hope was on his
way to his room in the Young Men s
Improvement club he noted a suspi-
cious character walking up and down
in the street in front of Rigelow' S
Pharmacy. After reaching his room
he watched the maneuvers of the man
until he was satisfied there was some
thing wrong and Immediately notified
Chief of Police Human and Sheriff
E. j. Hill. who were upon the scene
shortly. Three men were seen on the
inside and as the approach was made
to the store, the man who had been
seen on guard ran in back and disap-
peared. AS the back door was forced
in by the officers the men were seen to
Jump into the cellar and made their
escape through a cellar window.
Chase was made and one man located
by Deputy Sheriff Ray Sisco in small
bin in the rear of the store and was
promptly placed in safe keeping. AS
there was freight train about to leave
on the CP railway the attention OF the
watchers was directed toward the
vicinity with the result that second
one of the gang was arrested and
placed in jail. Although a search was
kept up some time the two other mem
bers of the gang were not found.
Both men when arrested stoutly
denied any knowledge of the affair
and claimed they were roughing it.
One of the men gave the name of w.
L. Mason, with his home in Vancouver
and the other gave his name as Geo.
Bremmer with his home in Montreal.
Mason was at one time employed as
second cook on the Canadian Pacific
railway and Bremmer has no partlcu-
lar occupation.
Bremmer and Mason appeared in
municipal court Monday morning and
had a preliminary hearing, which was
continued to next Monday. Bremme1
was placed under $1,000 bonds and
Mason under $500 bonds. It is under
stood that Mason is wanted for theft
in Montreal and has record in
criminal court. IF the men decide tC
plead guilty to the charge against
them they will be sentenced by Judge
Thompson, otherwise, they will be
held for the March term of county
court.
