BELIEVE PRISONER ROBBER.
Suspected of Holding up Passenger.
on Georgia Road.

Atlanta, Ca, January 21.-In the
arrest here to-day of R. S. Freeman,
aged 20, the police claim they have
captured the man who last Friday
night held up and robbed passengers
of Western and Atlantic train, near
Winnings, Ga. E. H. Freeman, aged Is,
brother of the suspected bandit, and
T. H. Whaley, aged II, also are un-
der arrest, the police claiming that
they not only were implicated in the
holdup, but had taken part in recent
jewelry robberies and other illegal
transactions. A fourth suspect,
George Martin, is still at large.
According to the police, R. S. Free
man to-day admitted having received
three diamonds, which he claimed
his brother and young Whaley had
stolen from a local jewelry store,
and which had been given him to dis
pose of. The police also claim to
have recovered two of these gems.
The arrest of R. S. Freeman fol-
lowed sensational disclosures to the
police by Fred Ball, taxicab driver.
Ball related what he alleged was a
confession to him by Freeman, in
which the youth is alleged to have
told of holding up the passengers of
the Western and Atlantic train, rob-
bing a local jewelry store and TAX
ing $1,000 from w. P. Morgan, a
Polk county farmer. Ball told the
police that Freeman had said the
place was getting "too hot for him.
and that he was going to Marietta
to join his pal" George Mann, and
skip the country. Detectives ac-
companied Freeman to Marietta, but
failed to apprehend Mann, who had
left the hotel and disappeared just
before the officers arrived. Two suit
cases found in his room were conf1s-
Gated by the police, but the nature of
their contents has not been disclosed.
w. P. Morgan, the Polk county far
mer, who recently was robbed by two
boys, who, the police say, were Mann
and R. S. Freeman, has been sum-
moned to Atlanta in an effort to
identify Freeman.

GRIT THAT WOULD NOT DOWN.
Fighting With the Hit After the
Blade was Broken.

Inc American MdSdAAAO he@o oSSAN
offering prizes for the best letters en-
titled What l Am Most Thankful
For and in the November number
publishes the three prize winning
contributions. The following letter
won first prize:
"Of all the blessings which l can
count as belonging to me this year
and for which 1 am most thankful, l
am most thankful that have not lost
my grit.
Eleven years of time and strength
and everything we had have gone in
to the making of our 160-acre home
stead here in North Dakota; and yet,
to-day, if we sold everything we pos
sessed we could just about pay our
debts.
"A long series of crop failures
from drought and hail, and much
and well-advised venture of buying
a traction which then did not work,
and was eventually ~(but too late for
our good) replaced by the company
with a new one, have eaten up all
we have been able to make.
1T has been most discouraging,
and the past year has been one of
exceeding and unceasing worry and
work of mind and body for both my
husband and myself.
Through it all have been most
thankful that was able to keep my
courage and help my husband keep
his, as he bore the worst Of the bur-
den, being the provider and the one
who had to meet and stave Off credi-
tors.
Now, when we are practically as
sured of time (Which is what we most
need) to retrieve ourselves, we can
stop and take stock.
Against these adversities we can
say that for eleven years we have
lived decently, not lacking either
food or clothing which was neces-
sary.
eve have been bringing up three
children in good and healthy condi-
tions, and we have enough simple
pleasures to keep us we'll and happy
in spite of our troubles.
eve have had sickness and acci-
dents, but none were fatal.
When things were at their worst,
all / had grit enough for was to say
that we were young enough and
strong enough to start in over again
and make a success yet; because 1
will not doubt our ultimately sue
eeeding.
Il would keep saying to myself,
We might be much worse off. We
might not have enough to eat or to
wear or a good home,' or, most of
ali, we might have lost hope, under
our mountain of debt, as many do,
and lapsed into listless, ambition
less life with nothing ahead for our
selves or children; so I am most
thankful that our grit has carried
US through and has given US dogged-
ness and perseverance enough to car
~ US through whatever more may
come"

Sherman CLAIMS illinois
BY $4,000 PLURALITY
BY The United Press.

by The United Press
CHICAGO, Nov 4.-Complete re-
turns from Cook county on the Sena-
torial fight give Sullivan, Dem, 49,
610; Sherman, Repn., S9,552, and
Robins, Prog, 1862, a plurality OF
59,05S for Sullivan in Cook county.
Returns from 1,641 precincts out
of 2,7SS down state at 10 a. m. give
Sherman a plurality Of 1910 over
Sullivan. The figures for those pre-
cincts are:
Sherman, 1878: Sullivan, 49,
SAB; Robins, 66,232.
Sherman, at Springfield, today is
sued a statement claiming his cleo
ton by a safe plurality. His man
ayers, however, admitted that they
did not hope for more than $4,000
plurality.
The Sullivan managers here claim
ed victory at 10 o'clock by 10000.
The Democrats, on early returns
today, have lost eight members Of
Congress from Illinois, the Progress
sives have lost two and the Republi-
cans have gained ten. Six members
of the Republican "old guard" who
were defeated in the 1912 landslide,
apparently have been returned They
are: "Uncle Joe" Cannon, William
B. Mckinley. William A. Rodenberg,
John A. Sterling. William Wilson and
Charles e. Fuller. Congressman Ira
c. Copley apparently was the only
Progressive to be reelected.
In the legislature, the Democrats
appear to have about held their own,
recapturine the Senate, but the Re
publicans probably have gained
twenty seats in the House at the ex-
pense of Progressives.
