DAMAGED EXPRESS BOX
RECOVERED FROM WATER
Instead of $4,000, as Reported, It
Contained Only a Broken
Bottle.

| Railroad and express company en-
ployes have recovered from fifteen feet
| of water, near the draw bridge over
Aqua creek, Va. the strong box that
| was thrown from a Florida fast train
| Thursday night by express messengers,
who told a story of masked robbers
having boarded the train and held
| them up.
| A report was current that the box
contained $4,000. and many residents
of that section were somewhat excited
over the possibility that some of the
bills would drift away and be found
along the river banks.
| Much disappointment was shown
when the damaged box was hauled
from the water and was found to con-
tain nothing but broken bottle. One
end of the box had been cut out. The
| box weighed not more than seventy
\ pounds, and it was an easy matter to
recover it with graphing hooks fas-
tened to ropes.
| One end of bridge timber had been
broken off by the box, which landed on
a small signal platform before it final
| ly dropped about thirty feet into the
| water.
Section Foreman Purks and Alexan-
der Segar located the box in the river,
it is stated, and were on hand when il
Twas recovered. The damaged box was
Grated and shipped to the office of the

ed today by Mr.. Reeside as nonsense.

arisen from the fact that the Washing

Numerous minor charges that he had

ana he especially denied that he was

While in my ye: rs of court trials

disagreements-and I do not think I
would be human If had not had tits
and disagreements with attorneys-I
am sure this charge is without foun-
dation. In some of these disagree

Attorney General Moody. Didn't you
