Brugger left the child alone in a room
while she went after a bucket of

child enveloped in ames. Before they
could be extinguished, she had receiv-

The child must have been playing with
the fire, as Mrs. Brugger, on her re-

the stove.

ALLEGED BOX CAR
ROBBER Is Held
HallOck Wilson, Railroad Detect
i've Holds Negro For State
Officials.

Hallack Wilson, special agent for
the Cotton Belt Railroad Company,
and deputy sheriff of Scott County,
captured negro box car robber, Fri
day night at limo, while he was in
the act of making way with a guam
tity of his stolen loot
Wilson was maintaining a watch in
the railroad yards, and came upon the
negro Unexpectedly. From a secure
place Of concealment he observed the
movements of the negro and watched
him enter the car and carry away
some Of it's contents.
When captured, the negro gave his
name as John Smith, and stated that
his home was in st. Louis.
The officer stated that the robber
carried quantity of the stolen goods
some distance away from the car, and
when he had reached the place of ap-
parent obscurity, he sat down and be-
gan to eat some of the lunch included
in his haul.
The officer approached him eau
tiously and the negro was completely
surprised when the order was given
him to throw up his hands. He made
no resistance, but refused to make any
satisfactory statement concerning
himself and his past record.
Mr.. Wilson stated that the prisoner
is of an unusually high class of in
telligence for the negro, and he is in
clined to the belief that he is no or
binary thief. He feels that he has
captured a dangerous criminal of the
shrewdest type. He said the negro
was we'll dressed, and used good Ian
guage, and bore an air of refinement.
Mr.. Wilson came to the Cape yes
terday to secure warrant from the
U. S. Commissioner F. A. Rage, on
the ground that the box car robbery
was in interference with interstate
commerce, and was therefore a FEEDER
al offense.
Mr.. Rage refused him the warrant,
for the reason that there was no proof
to show that the accused man had
broken the seal, and unless that could
be shown the charge could not stand
against the prisoner.
Mr.. Wilson at first was of the
opinion that the car was in transit
from st. Louis to Randles, but after
his return to limo, he informed the
commissioner by telephone that the
shipment was from East St. Louis to
Randles.
Smith is being held in Scott Coun-
ty where he will be tried by the state
authorities for box car robbery.

WEDNESDAY CLUB
TO BOYCOTT BAD
MILK DEALERS
Continued from page -

nent physician yesterday to ask adj
vice as to what steps she should take
to destroy any possible infection in
members of her family.
DIR. R. F. Wichterich, president of
the Board of Health, was asked by The
Tribune yesterday, what steps the city
should take. 81 have always been in
favor of a milk Inspector" said Presi-
dent Wichterich, "but | am not in IA
vor of simply creating the position
Just in order to give someone a job.
To get results it would be necessary
to have an inspector who could ana
lyze the milk He could climb on a
milk wagon anywhere in the city and
take sample of his dairyman's pro-
duct. His analysis would show wheth-
er or not the liquid was pure.
There can be no doubt that COM
petent milk inspector would render a
great service to the people"
Ut. JOHH u. OTlGIlltll, OI'J WIN
has accepted an invitation to address
the Wednesday Club on the milk stu
alton, said last night that he favored
a rigid inspection of the diaries as
we'll as the milk.
1--WE ought to have certified milk.
That means that the cattle must be
healthy, the food they eat must be
wholesome and the milk must be prop
erly handled and cooled after it is
taken from the COWS. If the herds are
in the best of health, the milk is apt
to become contaminated by filth in the
stables, even though the dairyman is
naturally clean.
There is no food product so easily
infected as milk. Flies carry typhoid
germs and if these insects are per-
mitted around the dairy, the purest
milk is in constant danger of becom-
ing infected. Every bit of milk sold
sh uld come up to the same standards
that the large cities demand. Buying
milk indiscriminately is bad. No one
knows what it contains"

MAN, CAPTURED, SAYS
HIS PAL HAD MONEY
Prisoner Thinks Brother Was
Carried Down Current
Both Brakemen.

Frank Wilkerson of Greenville, Mo-,
one of the two bandits who robbed the
Williamsville bank Monday, was sur
rounded by a posse near Mill Spring
near Williamsville yesterday and was
captured by the sheriff. He is said
to have confessed that it was he and
his brother, John, who robbed the
bank of $4,000 after locking the di-
rectors in a vault. The brothers are
brakemen on the Iron Mountain Rail-
road and live in Greenville, county
seat of Wayne.
He said that his brother was wound
ed by Constable James Ross near Mill
Spring Monday night and fell into
Black River. He tried to reach the OPP
posite shore, but the prisoner thinks
he sank.
None of the stolen money was found
on the prisoner. He says his brother
was carrying the money. The river
is being dragged for the body of John
Wilkerson.
A meeting of the bank directors was
being held when the robbers entered.
Each had a handkerchief tied over his
face. One wore raincoat and the
other a gray overcoat. AS the cashier
came forward, they leveled revolvers
at him and ordered him to throw up
his hands. The others were ordered to
do the same.
B. H. Selvidge, proprietor of jew
elry store next door, heard the COM
motion and man ran in and told him
the bank was being robbed. He had ar
automatic shotgun and double-bar-
relied shotgun. He loaded both anC

Edward Wallace, but Wallace did not
know how to use it.
The robbers were two blocks away
when Selvidge came from his store
He pursued them and fired Is shots
They returned the fire, dropped theil
coats and disappeared north on the
Ridge road. A posse that went in pur.

an abandoned mill town in Duckett

and were headed up the railroad to.

The swift current swept him around

Engineer Jack Shepherd brought
the news of the bandits capture to the
Cape last night. The report furnished
by Mr.. Shepherd was confirmed by q
message from Williamsville to The
