j. F. MADDING IS
ROBBED At DALLAS
Four Men Implicated in
Theft of $1,000 Diamond
in Pullman Car.

J. E. Madding of this city was rob-
bed of 8 1-2 carat blue white dia-
mond valued at $1,000, as he entered
Pullman sleeper at Dallas, Texas,
Friday evening about 1880 o'clock.
Mr.. Madding, who returned to Pine
Bluff last night, believes four men
were implicated in the robbery,
which was witnessed by a number of
occupants of the car. So deity did
the quartette work, however, that
they were off with their booty before
any move to detain them could be
made.
Mr.. Madding had been on bust
ness trip to Fort Worth and Dallas,
and was homeward bound when he
was robbed. He entered the car, car
rying package in each hand, and
was jostled in the passage way by
four men. The stud was removed
from Maddings tie and the get
away" accomplished before the Won
dering passengers could interpose
objections or Mr.. Madding realize
that he was robbed.
The Pullman and Texas & Pacific
railroad officials were notified. ana
detectives Immediately placed on ,ne
case. Mr.. Madding remained on the
car, arriving this morning in Little
Rock, where he joined Mrs. Madding.
Both came home yesterday evening.
Mr.. Madding says he recalled after
ward that he had been "shadowed''
by one of the four men, but suspec:-
ed nothing at the time. They select
ed the Pullman for the scene of the
"frisking" he believes because no
other opportunity had presented
itself and they realized that this
would be their last chance. He is
confident he would recognize one of
the men. Although regretting his
loss, Mr.. Madding stated he had no
intention of endeavoring to hold the
Pullman company responsible.
