A "Framed-up" Hold Up.

The mystery surrounding the rob- bery of the Rock Island Express car between Hot Springs and Little Rock on the night of April 10th, was solved Saturday by the arrest of w. w. Smoky Dunn, d former railroad con. ductor, who is well known in Forrest City; William Airing, the express messenger. who claimed to have been gagged and robbed by train robbers, and Homer Heard well known young man about Little Rock. Airing made complete confession, saying that the reported robbery was a "frame-up," and implicated Dunn and Heard. Each was arrested by different of- Ger.
 The accused men were given a pre- liminary hearing before United States Commissioner W. $. Allen Saturday afternoon and night Airing stated that prior to the robbery, he and the other two men worked out the details planning to have Airing tied in a trunk when the train reached Little Rock and to have him tell false story, all of which details were yery nicely carried out, an account 0t which appeared the next day follow ing.
 The train was robbed of about Fl 400 % and when the train arrived iu Little Rock, Airing was found tied and gagged in trunk, He said he had been held up and gagged. He said two men boarded the car at Has. kel and left it at Benton
 A negro porter, Will Browning also said two men boarded the smoking car al Benton. The negro's descrip- tion of the men taliied with that given by Airing.
 Airing says that Dunn was the brains of the robbery, but that he did not board the train According tC the officers, Airing says young ileard boarded the car at Hot Springs and rode with him until shortly before the train reached Little Rock It is also said that he claims Heard took the express sacks, cut them open and took the money, later tying Airing and placing him in the trunk, where he was found after the train arrived at the station in Little Rock
 Airing confessed that Heard met him the next day and gave him $500 as his share ol the loot.
 Commissioner Allen at 9 o'clock Saturday continued the hearing until Monday morning. The men were placed under s2, 800 bond

We see no reason why the sewers should not or cannot be extended to every part of the city where they are required. Other cities, that are no larger or wealthier than this, have them, and it is up to His Honor to start the street hands to work on the job. The money will be forthcoming Just as soon as some authorized per son or persons will make the effort to exchange the scrip.

WATCHFUL WAITING
REDUCES DINNER COST.
Late Buyers Got Turkeys and
Other Fowl at Low
Prices

Buyers in the local markets to-day
who followed the "watchful waiting"
policy were able to cut the cost of their
Christmas dinner. Turkeys and all
other kinds of fowls were a glut on the
market. High prices prevailed at the
opening of the markets for Christmas
meats, but they took a tumble about
9 o'clock, and even with the decrease
in prices, many fowls went back to
the farms or into cold storage.
Early buyers paid 35 cents pound
for dressed turkeys and "a cents for
live weight Between s and o'clock
dressed turkeys sold for 2S and 80
cents a pound, and as low at Il cents
a pound live weight
There is little loss in taking live tur-
keys back to the farm. but the stalls
were filed with thousands of dressed
fowls, many of which were not SOLD.
They were offered in the streets at
reduced prices and to hotel and res
taurant owners at big losses.
Next to turkeys, geese and ducks
were in demand. They could be bought
from 81 to 50. When the prices
dropped ducks were sold as low at
60 and rs cents each, and geese as
low as $1.50. Chickens brought from
90 to 80 cents each at the opening OF
the market, and later S5 to 75 cents.
Guineas sold for so and 60 cents.

Mexicans Send Engine
Running Uncontrolled
Into Carranza's Train
.Sbeeial 10 The Telegrnhh

Washington. D. c., Dec. 23. The
trip of General Carranza from Vera
Cruz to the Isthmus of Tehauntepec,
said by his opponets to be flight, was
interrupted by Zapata forces, who cap
tured Soledad and from there sent a
locomotive running uncontrolled into
his approaching train. Neither Car
rama nor any of his party was in
jured.
These facts were reported last night
In private dispatch from a point on
the railroad on which Carranza was
travelling. officials of the Washington
Government placed full credence in
the report, but declined to comment on
1t beyond saying that they had con-
sular advtces telling of CarranZa's de-
parture for the isthmus.
General Carranza, according to the
private dispatch, returned to Vera
Cruz after the incident at Soledad. and
has now gone to Cordoba to inspect his
troops. From Cordoba. some of his Of
ticers say. he will continue his journey
to the isthmus, after which he will go
to Merida. in the State of Yucatan.
Carranza officials here deny EN-
phatically suggestions which have been
current in Mexico City that Carranza
intended to flee to a Central American
country. They say the first CHIEF
planned his trip to the isthmus shortly
after the railway to that part OF
Mexico was taken over by the Carranzs
faction.

$4,000 MORE WANTED
by POOR DIRECTORS
County Board Makes Requisition
For Additional Funds to
Close Year

Dauphin county's Board of Poor Di-
rectors needs $500 more than the
1914 annual allowance for main
tenance and care of the county's poor
and INDECENT in order to wind up the
accounts for the present year.
Application for the additional requi-
sition was made to-day to the County
Commissioners and that body took the
request under consideration this after
noon. During the last two years, 1913
and 1914, the county poor board got
along very nicely on 100000 year.
In asking for the additional requi-
sition of $3.500, however, the poor
board complains that the money is
sadly needed-necessary, in fact, to
get through the present month.
Incidentally the board points out
that 1t expended something like $12,5 500
for repairs renovations, etc, at the
almshouse. This included the in
stallation of new flooring, new heat
ing system, and so on. The main
tenance and care of children was,
and is. according to the poor directors,
an ever-growing expense. Only last
week fourteen new Youngsters had to
be cared for, the directors say. All
these children requiring attention are
confined at the Children's Industrial
Home, Day Nursery and other in
stitutions. and the county has to pay
for their keep at the rate of S1.75 pei
week per capita. The treatment of in
sane is another big item. Outdoor
relief expenses were unusually heavy
this winter. too, the directors explain.
While the additional requisition will
mean that $63.500 will have been ex.
pended for the care and maintenance
of the county s poor and INDECENT dur.
ing 1914, it was explained at the poor
directors office that the appropriation
asked for 1915 will be approximately
$4,000 less than this years request
The total that will likely be asked fol
| next year will be $55, 900 or $4,000.
The poor board explains that the
! new heating system, flooring, roofing
etc, at the almshouse were recon-.
mended by the grand jury.

Wants $1,000 Because
She Couldn't Have Crops

An action in trespass for $1,000 was
begun to-day by Mrs. Susan Wolfe
against Henry M. Shade and Jacob
Shade growing out of an attempt to
sell nineteen acres of growing wheat
and one acre of growing rye in the
field. The farm in the case is in Lyk-
ems township.
Mrs. Wolfe held $1,000 note
against her husband, John H.. and she
bought out the Crops in the ground
after execution had been issued and
the personal property of her husband
had been offered at sheriff's sale.
Henry NJ. Shade several months lat
er had the Wolfe farm sold out for
$4,000 Indebtedness and he refused
to permit Mrs. Shade to have the
wheat and rye. Incidentally she con-
tends, Shades son Jacob had threat
ened her, and she accordingly filed the
damage claim.

CASHTOW|V DEER CLUB
CAMPS 23RD TIME
Hunters Bring Down Many a Fine
Buck in Mountain Near
Gettysburg

For twenty-three years the CASH
town Deer Hunting Club, shown in the
photo above, has camped along the
Pittsburgh pike midway between Get
tysburg and Chambersburg. This club
has the strongest membership of any
hunting club in the mountains of
Pennsylvania and this year was more
fortunate than usual, bringing down
eight fine specimens tof the Pennsyl-
Vania stag.
The tents have been pitched on the
same spot for sixteen years, on a tract
owned by a member of the club, al
though the State forest reservation eX-
tends around the plot on three sides.
over sixty feet of canvas, made up of
three large tents, one leading into the
other, makes up the quarters of the
hunters; the one tent being used as q
kitchen and dining room and the other
two tents used for sleeping quarters.
Each tent is comfortably heated by a
large wood stove and the APPOINT
ments throughout serve to supply the
substantial and necessary requirements
of life in the woods.
The hunting crews are we'll organ
lied and both drivers and ISLANDERS
captained by old and reliable deer
hunters. Once a buck is found be-
tween the two lines of this club, his
chances for escape are slight
The club membership is made up
very largely of Adams county people,
residing in Gettysburg, Meningitis
town, Cashtown and the surrounding
country. For many years President
Judge S. Mac Swope, of Gettysburg,
has been a member, the president of
the club being Geore Schwartz, of
Cashtown. who is president of the Citi-
zen's Trust Company of Gettysburg.
Milton d. Plank is the only Harrisburg
member of the club. The club is regu-
larly organized and meetings are held
ta stated periods throughout the year
at Cashtown, where the equipment is
kept.
In the district where this camp is
located and ranging over territory
not more than sixteen miles are some
fifteen established camps of deer clubs
covering the locality from Pinegrove
Furnace southwest to Mont Alto. The
number of deer killed this year al
these different camps is said to be
close on to half a hundred. This life
itself is looked forward to by the
members of the different clubs as an
outing of fifteen days conducive to
good health and enjoyment.

MEADE MEMORIAL
BILL GOES THROUGH
Congressman Kreider Gets Meas
ure Passed Providing For
Erection of Statue

The bill providing a site for the
erection of a memorial statue in honor
and to the memory of the late Major
General George Gordon Meade, for
which purpose the Legislature of
Pennsylvania had appropriated $780,
600. has been passed by Congress.
There was considerable delay in the
passage of this bill caused by a dis
position on the part of the member
ship of the House of Representatives
not to appropriate sites in the city
of Washington, and especially when
the bill does not contain a clause nam
ing and specifying the exact place
where said statue shall be erected.
Through the activities of Congress
man Kreider at the solicitation of Col
onel John b. Patrick, of Harrisburg, "a
member of the Meade Memorial Com
mission, this commission was enabled
to secure hearing before the Fine
Arts Commission of the city OF Wash
ington and at the suggestion of Con-
gresham kreider q very desirable To-
cation was secured near the corner OF
Third street and Pennsylvania avenue,
y. W., in close proximity to the statue
of General Grant. The bill, through
the influence of Congressman Kreider,
was amended specifying this location
and was passed by the House.
Mr.. Kreider has again proved him
self to be the true friend of the SOL
diers and his ability to do things in
Congress. The members of the Grand
Army of the Republic appreciate his
assistance and influence in securing
the location and the passage of the
bill without which the probabilities
are that the bill would not have passed
at this session of Congress.
