BANK OF FULTON
 ROBBED BY YECCS
Vault Resisted Nitro GIycerin EX- pl0SiOnS and Only SEQ Was Se- cured-MarshaI Badly Shot
 in Battle With Robbers.

Texarkana. Oct Special). The Bank of Fulton, at Fulton, Hemp stead county, on the St. Louis & Southwestern, about twenty-five miles northeast of this place, was robbed by a gang of yeggs early today. The vault resisted the nitro glycerin explosions and de- prived the robbers of thousands of dollars, and as a result they se- cured only S70.
 In a battle with the robbers City Marshal Tom Logan was badly shot. The general methods were the same as used at the Dardanelle robbery, and it is believed the same gang did both jobs.

.DARDANELLE BANK
 IS 4 HEAVY LOSER
No Trace of Robbers Has Been Dis coVered-0ne of Robbers May Be Wounded-Secured S3,500 From
 Bank and S700 From POstOfIice.

DardaneIle, Oct. 2.-Later partic- ulars of the robbery of the State Bank of Dardanelle show that the robbers stole S3,500 of the bank S funds and S7O0 of postof1ice funds, according to a statement issued at noon by President John B. Crown over. Fixtures and the interior of the bank were damaged to the eX- tent of 5000. No trace of the rob- bers has been found.
 A dynamite cap and fuse found a mile west of the city indicated the robbers were making for the in- terior of the country. The robbers either overlooked or did not take time to carry away small amount of silver but they secured prac- tically all the funds on hand.
 The bank is amply insured to re- cover all loss, and the robbery will in no way interfere with it's opera tions. The bank will open for busi- ness tomorrow and will immediate " repalr It's O1llceS.
 Say Loss Is Heavy. Of the funds stolen, $500 belongs to the government as funds from | the local postoflice. The bank has declined to make known it's loss but it is regarded as several thou sand dollars.
 Lookouts armed with rifles were strung about the bank for a block or two. When the explosions be- gan the citizens started to investi- gate. When they appeared on the streets they were warned back into their homes.
 John R. Conover. president of the bank, w. n. Cotton cashier of the Bank of Dardanelle. Ed Smith, a restaurant keeper, and Ben Wirt, a planter, armed with rifles engaged in a battle with the yeggs stationed in front of the bank. For almost an hour both sides kept up the fire When the robbers finally fled they were seen to assist one of theiI number. It is thought he was eith- ar shot or overcome by fumes from the explosions on the interior of the bank which was wrecked.
 Divided Into Squads.
 The men did not ride into town although it is believed they haC horses stationed at some convent ent place in the outskirts of the city. It is generally believed thaI the gang divided into squads after leaving the city, one going toward 1 the Rock Island railroad in the in- tcrior and the other making fol the river. One of the lookouts con cealed himself behind a number O ice cream kegs that were located in front of a confectionery. ThC others hid in dark places and be- hind trees.
 A number of other citizens tireC upon the robbers, but their fire wa: intellectual because their weapon: were unable to do any harm unless discharged within a short distance The fact that most of the citizens were armed with small weapon, prevented greater number from joining the battle,

NUMBER ENGINES
TO ARRIVE HERE
Passenger Trains Will Be
Able to Maintain Their
Schedules and Haul Heav-
ier Trains Than Hereto
fore = Choctawhatchee
Bridge Gave the Greatest
Trouble!

The last of the work of strengthen
ing the bridges and trestles on the P.
and A. division of the Louisville and
Nashville railroad has been completed
and on February the large type of
engines, now in use on other divisions
Of the road, will be placed in service,
especially on passenger trains.
For nearly two years the company
has been engaged in strengthening the
bridges and trestles. and especially
those across navigable streams where
draw bridges became necessary. 1t was
thought that it had been finished some
months ago, but trouble was found with
the Choctawhatchee bridge and since
that time a crew of men has been en-
gagged in placing this bridge in proper
shape. This structure gave the bridge
builders more trouble than all of the
others, owing to the depth of water
and condition of the river bottom, and
It necessitated the dumping Of tons of
cement into the river to secure the
foundation.
The bridge will be in shape by Feb
ruary to bear the weight of the big
engines, for by that date the cement
will set.
The new type OF engines viii have
2o-inch cylinders aadEarry 10 pounds
Of steam. The first to arrive viii be
placed on passenger trains and 8,
which are always the heaviest. One
is the train arriving at 9:45 p. m, and
possibly Is the heaviest of any of the
passenger trains on the division, but
with the big engines it is believed that
the trains can be kept on schedule time
and even make up lost time when de-
livery is late by the Seaboard which
Is q very common occurrence.
The freight trains will also have
heavier engines, and there will be no
longer any necessity Of using two en-
gines for one train.
What will be done with the present
engines on the division has not yet
been determined.

Week or Ten Days.
By ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Constantinople, Jan. 1S.-Turkish
Foreign Minister Noradunghian Effen-
di tonight submitted to the counsel Of
ministers a draft of the reply to the
note of the powers. It is understood
he insists upon the retention Of
Adrianopie for four reasons:
Because the Bulgarian Inhabitants
are in the minority In Adrianople as
compared with Mcslems: because of
the splendid defense of the garrison;
because the loss of Adrianople con-
tanning the temples of Caliphs would
ruin the prestige of Islam, and because
the loss Of Adrianople, which is the
gate to Constantinople, would endan-
ger the life of the empire.
Regarding the Aegean Islands, the
reply declares Turkey will refuse to
abandon the islands the near shore
and as a remedy will continue the con-
ference regarding the others.

BITTERLY ARRAIGNS EUROPEAN
POWERS FOR THEIR ATTITUDE

London, Jan. 1S.-Osman Miami
Pasha, Turkish ambassador to Ger
many, who is in London in connection
with the peace negotiations, issued a
statement today bitterly arraigning
the European powers for their atti-
tude in the joint note delivered to the
porte
-Four months ago." he said, Europe
proclaimed its determination to main
tain the state of things existing be-
fore the war, whatever the result of
the conflict might be. Now the powers
are making open illusions to the pos
sible loss by Turkey of Constantinoplo
and some Of the Asiatic provinces.
What reliance can Turkey place on
the powers promise to exclude all
menace to the security of Turkey
when Europe has just given tangible
evidence of how little her promises are
worth ?"
with such evidence Of European
sympathy" Miami Pasha added, mo-
body could consider the porte too eX-
acting, if it asked for an explanation
of what the powers mean by moral
and material support judged by the
efficacy of the benevolent support SO
lavishly poured out in the ambassa-
dorial note.
"The same can be asked about the
powers promise concerning the
Aegean Islands Even admitting for
the sake of argument that Turkey is
ready to yield these islands, how can
she cede them to the powers on the
simple promise that their settlement
will exclude all menace to the security
of Turkey. when Europe's promises
mean so little?"
The greatest reserve is maintained
