CLOSE On BANDITS TRAIL?
Fugitives Now Thought Near DaW.
kins, in Fairfield County.

Columbia, September 6.-The three
bandits who held up and robbed the
paymaster at Parr Shoals yesterday
of $4,000 are tonight believed to be
somewhere in the vicinity of DaWkins
and Monticello, travelling towards the
Charlotte branch of the Southern
Railway, where it is thought they are
figuring on getting away. Blood
hounds trailed three fleeing men for
three miles from Dawkins, but lost
the scent tetween there and Monti-
cello.
This information was obtained over
the long distance telephone from Daw-
kins late tcrleht. Dawkins is a lii
tie station or the Srartanburg divis-
ion Of the Southern, few miles north
Of Parr Shoals, and on the Fairfield
side of Broad river.
1t was stated that the trail of three
fleeing men on foot was taken up by
the bloo1Aornds late tonight and fol-
lowed in tie general direction of Mon
ticello, but lost when about miles
out. The Dawkins informant said that
a suspicious character hanging around
there late tonight had been snadowed
but managed to elude all watchful
eyes and disappeared in the general
direction of the other fugitives, going
north. This leads to theory that the
three highwaymen had pals who join
ed them after they succeeded in get
ting the money
The country around Dawkins is
swampy and heavily wooded and it is
the impression that the bandits are in
hiding in that section. Sheriff Hood,
of Fairfield, who is on the scene di-
recting the pursuit, has established a
Gordon of pickets around the suspect
ed area and unless the hignwaymen
succeeded in getting farther than
thought they have to break through
this Gordon to get away.
Whether the suspicious character
seen at Dawkins was acting as inform
ant and scout for the real highway
men is not known.
Rumors that one of the bandits had
been captured and $1,000 found on his
person, and that the other two were
surrounded in a swamp at Dawklns
were brought to Columbia tonight by
incoming passengers, but The News
and Courier correspondent succeeded
in getting Dawkins over the long dis
tance telephone just before midnight
and found there was nothing to the
rumors beyond the facts already re-
lated.
Officers at Winnsboro and Chester
have been notified that the robbers are
heading in that direction and a close
watch is kept for them.

Inspector Comes to Aid of Brother
Official.

El Paso, Tex, September 6.-.Lieut.
E. Acosta, an officer in Gen Salazar's
command at Jurez, crossed the Stan
ton street international bridge this af-
ternoon and was killed by United
States Customs Inspector T. ]. Jonah
and immigration Inspector Thomas N.
Heifrin, after he had opened fire on
them with a rife.
He was shot through the mouth and
arm and his horse, from which he 5ad
dismounted, was shot through the side.
The American officers were uninjur-
ed. Before crossing the bridge the
Mexican had remarked that he was
<'going to kill gringo.'
Mexican Opens Fire.
Heifron was standing at the A.neri-
can end of the bridge when Acosta
first opened fire on him. He fired back,
using an automatic pistol. Jonah has
tened to his assistance and began fir
ing at the Mexican The Mexican Of
ficer was within thirty feet of the
Americans before he was killed.
Two troops of the 18th cavalry were
ordered to the bridge following the
shooting, in order to restrain the 1000
Mexicans who had gathered on the
Mexican side of the bridge.
Gen. Hugh L. Scott, commander of
the United States troops, was notified
of the shooting and he ordered all
troops to be prepared for movement
to Ell Paso from Fort Bliss in case
Of trouble.
Prepared for Trouble.
Tonight a detachment of cavalry
was stationed at both international
bridges and army officers and troops
have been ordered to remain at quar-
tiers in case of an outbreak among the
Mexicans.
A bitter feeling against Americans
was manifested in Juarez by Salazar's S
Federal troops after the shooting.
L. OIeson, of E1 Paso, crossed to the
Mexican side with party of American
men and women and reported later to
American army officers that Federal
officer drew mis- pistol and threatened
to shoot. Oleson said American wo-
men were insulted by the Mexican Of
fcer. They escaped injury by putting
their automobile at full speed and hur-
rying to the American side. They said
several Mexican soldiers threatened
them and shook their fists at them as
they were going through the streets
of Juarez. Other Americans also
were threatened.
Americans Arrested
American officers placed Heifron
and Jonah under arrest after the
killing. They were released on $1,000
bonds.
Mexican officers at Juarez tried to
stop Lieut.. Acosta from crossing the
bridge before the invasion, but he
threatened to shoot any one who IN
terfered with him. The Mexican Off
GERS said he had been drinking and
after he was killed a bottle Of Mexi-
can whiskey was found in his saddle
bags.
Acosra came to Juarez from Chi
hauhua with Gen. Salazar's troops a
few days ago. The body is being held
in FL Paso. Friends of Acosta in
Juarez have asked for permission to
remove it to Juarez.

What would be thought of a
man, who living within a stones
throw of town in which a weekly
newspaper is published and COM
ing into the town seven days out
of the week and sometimes sever
al times daily, gives as a reason
for opposing movement that will
benefit not only his immediate
community, but himself personal
Iy, that the newspaper never says
anything about him when he comes
to town9 A man that is very
frequent visitor to town is nat
urally looked upon as virtually be-
longing in the place, and not as
one who is seen only at rare inter
yals; and it is hardly the province
of a weekly newspaper to serve
the purpose of a dairy to these
friends, as limitations usually per-
NIT of handling only such items as
are really news. A case such as
referred to above, is only one of
over developed vanity; but vanity
should not govern us when it is a
case of sectional and community
interests to be served.

TOURIST HOTEL TO CLOSE
Has Had Good Season and Will
Open Again Next Winter

Hotel Punta Gorda closes after
this week for the summer. 1t has
enjoyed a patronage this season
that was even better than had been
expected by the owners and the
management, which is an assur-
ance that twill be opened again
next winter. 1t is very probable
that some changes will be made in
the furnishings and some needed
utilities added to the plant during
the closed season with view to
catering to a larger patronage an
other season.
1t is shown that it is worth a
a good dealto the community to
have this fine tourist hostelry again
serving those of OUT winter visit
ors who seek the accommodations
it has to offer. More than thous-
and guests have registered since it
was opened early in January,
most of these having registered
for rooms as well as meals, and
these have been people that in all
probability would not have come
here had Hotel Pnnta Gorda not
been open.
Manager Payne has been COM
plimented on the treatment &C.
corded his guests. All have been
pleased with both the hotel SER
vice and with the town. There
has been a congeniality existing
amongst these visitors, each and
all of whom carry with them
pleasant thoughts of their soiourn
here, and this bespeaks the return
of many of them next winter. The
same may be said of all who have
enjoyed the hospitality of Punta
Gorda and the season 1914 may
be looked forward to with the ex-
pectation that it will be a very
lively one.

EASTER IN PUNTA G0RDA
Observed in the Churches Special
Services at the Episcopal
Church q

Easter was appropriately OBJ
served in Punta Gorda-the devo-
tions at all the churches of the
city were in keeping with this i'm
portant religious festival.
At the Baptist church, although
the same importance does not at
tach to Easter with that denomi-
nation as with other Christian
bodies, Pastor Woodson preached
as usual, and his sermons, as we'll
as the singing by the choir, were
characterized by the Easter spirit.
The Methodist pulpit was occu-
pied in the morning by Rev. j. r.
Cason, the presiding elder, whose
sermon was significant of the sea-
son and forcefully delivered. The
evening was given up chiefly to a
musical program in which the
young people took a leading part.
The flower decorations provided
by Mrs. Cooper, assisted by other
ladies, gave the church an attract
i've appearance.
A more formal Easter program
was carried out at the Presbyter-
ian church. Pastor Albert's SER
mons had direct hearing on the
occasion, and the song service ex-
emplified the spirit Of the Easter
season. The devotions in the
evening were ola like character,
the Sunday school children taking
chief part in the singing. The
church was attractively decorated,
and this gave effect to the OBJ
servance of the occasion. q" 81"
