" Ar 4 A n IS
ARE DRAWN
SECRE: Y
Well Known Men of Walker
County Accused by Detective.
Police on Lookout.

Sensational arrests are expected
before night in the daring robbery of
the Witham Bank in Lyerly, Walker
County, according to advices received
at the headquarters here of the Burns
Detective Agency from the squad OF
detectives on the scene.
Warrants are being issued at La
Fayette, the county seat, it is re-
ported, for well-known men living in
the vicinity of Lyerly, and who are
accused of having plotted with the
gang of professional cracksmen for
the robbery of the bank. the iden-
tity of these suspected plotters is be-
ing kept a secret until the arrests
are made, but the news that the work
of he detectives has reached such a
definite stage as to call for the is
suancc of warrants has stirred the
whole county.
Robbers Had Ample Aid.
According to the report Of the
Burns men, sufficient evidence has
been obtained to indicate that the
safecrackers had ample aid from the
outside in the cracking of the big
bank and the teft of the missing
$500.
While no details have been learned
here, it is understood that the alleged
plotters are accused of having con-
spired with the cracksmen, who
made their escape after the robbery
of the bank. Armed posses Saturday
were still securing the surrounding
country, but so far the fugitives have
eluded capture officers believe, how
ever, the gang will soon be captured.
A long distance telephone message
received Saturday in the office OF
Chief Beavers from Gainesville, tell
ing of the robbery there early in the
morning of the Lumpkin hardware
store. has led to the theory that this
job may have been done by the same
gang of bandits and that they are
making their way to Atlanta, if moi
already here.
Police on Watch Out.
The police will keep all suspicious
characters under surveillance, and
will take special precautions to pre-
vent them operating in this city.
Several strange men were seen tc
board an Atlanta bound freight train
early Saturday morning in Carriers
vile, and these are believed to be the
robbers who burglarized the hardware
store, and probably the bank bandits
The robbers made a wholesale haul
of firearms in Gainesville, which is
taken OF mean that they will put ur
strenuous resistance if an attempt Il
made to take them. Ten revolvers
one rife and lot of small saws were
among the loot taken.

Mother, Frustrated,
Denounces Killing Of
Boy as Unjustifable

Crushed by the death of her sou,
Frank, who was shot as burglar in
the East Atlanta store of o. H. Wag-
goner and o. o. Waldrop, Mrs. Emma
Holmes. at her home. No. 1874 Powell
street, has denounced the killing as
entirely unjustifiable.
The boy. in spite of his waywarI
tendencies, was devoted to his moth
er, and the family stood aghast when
the information came that he had
been shot with his companion, Har-
ry Underwood, in the act of trying to
rob store.
Mrs. Holmes was too sick TO visit
her son at Grady Hospital, and he
died without seeing her. The funeral
will be held Saturday afternoon at
Poole's chapel, and her condition is
such that she may not be able to a.
tend. The boy will be buried in Hol-
lywood Cemetery.

Has learned

Climbs Over Apparatus With the
Ease of Veteran, Proving Apt
Pupil of 'FireoIogy.'

The Atlanta of some score years
hence will not lack an able fire chief
if youthful training will help prevent
that misfortune. Little Harold b.
Cummings, Jr, is in training for the
job
According to all indications, Har-
old, Jr, should give his granddad,
the present Chief, a run for his
money within a few years. The souni
of the fire bells is music to him, ana
he has learned to climb aboard a
giant piece of fire fighting apparatus
like an acrobat.
Harold is the pet of the f1remen--
and the fire horses are his pets-at
headquarters. where he studies fireol-
ogy under the tutelage of the Chief.
He has learned TO eat smoke without
acquiring a "tummyache;" to get wet
through and through without sniff
fling for the next week, and jump out
of bed and into his clothes without
the aid of nurse. Civil service ex-
ans come next.

EDMONTON. ALBERTA, Jan. 81
A female black fox. for which he has
since refused an offer of $4,000, i'm
prisoned itself in John Gentile's
chicken coop. Gentle was awaken
ed by the commotion in the coop,
and was cursing what he thought was
a neighbours dog that had killed all
his chickens.
Daylight revealed the marauder
to be the finest specimen of fox seen
in this locality for years. Female
foxes are in big demand in this coun-
try for breeding purposes.

AT ADVENTISS CAMP

Jamestown, N. D., June 12.-Prep-
arations are being made to handle
from 1000 to 1900 people at Nickens
park during the state Adventist camp
meeting to be held in Jamestown June
10 to % inclusive. Representatives
will come from all portions of the
state to camp here ten days and en-

A. V. Rhoads has arrived from
Beach and is busy with a crew Of
about ten men hauling the tents and
paraphernalia to the camp grounds
preparatory to the work of erecting
them and supply depots for the camp
meeting. The tents have beer stored
at Harvey and the remainder of the
supplies at Bismarck, Mr.. Rhoades
says it will tax the facilities to handle
all who are expected to attend the big
meeting. Many are coming with their
entire families and it will be necessary
to put in use every tent available.
At this time camp meeting will be
finally worked out the plans for the
office block to be erected this season
on South Third avenue, corner of
Second street. A splendid site was
donated by Jamestown and upon this
it Is quite probable that there will be
erected a w story and full basement
block of brick. A large building is
necessary for the state officers a sales
room for the voluminous literature,
while the basement could be used at
all times and to good advantage for
storage purposes. -

Editorial in The New York World:
The republicans want the federal of

l. The ~progressives want the federal
offices now held by the democrats.
The two factions have a common
hunger for place and power and pat
ronage; but have they anything else
in common?
Both eagerly denounce the Under
wood-Simmons tariff; but if there
were a republican progressive majority
In congress, would it undertake seri-
ously to restore the Payne-Aldrich or
the Dingley schedules? Would it I'M
dertake seriously any general scheme
Of tariff revision.
Both are in sympathy with the
principle Of a central bank; but If
there were a rerublican-progressive
majority in congress would it venture
to amend in any important respect the
new currency and banking laws that a
democratic administration has written
into the statute books?
Both sheer at President Wilson's
Mexican policy; but would a repub-
.lican-progressive administration aban-
don his wise and humane attempt to
establish a permanent peace in Mexico
by removing the cause of revolt, or
would it turn a distracted country
back to predatory privilege and IRE

YOUNG SPENT DAY
AT DARLINGTON

- Darlington, N. D., June 12,-Cong.
He has visited the towns and villages
Of the northern counties and he de-
livered addresses at many Of them.
Congressman Young expresses him
self as we'll pleased with the outlook.
He led his opponent in these
two years ago and claims that he will
carry them again n by increased
majoritfes.
Mr.. Young says The Bismarck
Tribune is turning votes TO him. 1T
is making me votes every day." said
Young, Of it would tell the truth 1T
might be different, but that does not
seem to be in this line" For instance,
it published a fake Washington, D.. T..
dispatch about me which was in fact
written in its own office and designed
to falsify my record. l called atten-
ton to it, and also said n tribune
had published an editorial advocating
the raising Of railroad rates. 1t came
back with the statement that it fav-
ored the raising of rates east Of the
Ohio, and said it was supported in its
position by the great progressive re-
publican, Louis D. Brandets. This IS
only another untruth told to pull itself
out of the hole It was in by easOn Of
former f~alsehOods. The argument OF
Mr.. Brandeis respecting railway rates
is confined in document No. $3.50, and
every word of it is against the increase
of railway rates east of the Ohio. Now,
what new falsehood will The Tribune
invent to bolster up it's hypocritical
position? This is a live question be-
cause if the Interstate commerce com
mission grants permission to increase
railway rates east Of the Ohio, it is
we'll known that the railways west Of
the Ohio will apply for the same
privilege"
