Positive belief that the two men
captured by patrolmen Messer and
Rainer on a Gulf & Ship Island pas
senger train last week are the ones
responsible for blowing the bank at
New Hebron, in Lawrence county two
nights before, is expressed in mes
sage received from sheriff l.. T. Rob-

this afternoon.
There seems to be no doubt but
that the men you arrested for us are
the ones" Sheriff Roberts wrote. 1--WE
are getting our evidence together, and
when they are given hearing, I think
some surprising facts will be made
public"
Sheriff Roberts also stated that in
the event a conviction is not made,
the two prisoners, Bouge and Gooden,
will be returned to Hattiesburg where
! they will answer charges of violating
the Federal laws by carrying nitro
glycerin on a passenger train, and for
carrying concealed weapons.

will be given an opportunity to try
the men, however" the sheriff con

Reu. J. s. Zeran
Resigns Pastorate
to Go to Arkansas
PASTOR AND ORGANIZER OF THE
CHRISTIAN CHURCH LEAVES
MARCH I.

The Rev. John s. Zeran, pastor and
of the present Hattiesburg
Christian church, has resigned from
the local charge and will leave for
Bentonville, Ark, March l, where he
will take charge of a church there.
The resignation, while something of
surprise to the city as a whole, has
been expected by members of the con-
gregation for some time.
Mr.. Zeran is one of the best known
ministers in the city. With the ex-
ception of one year, which he spent in
Texas, he has been in Hattiesburg
since 1911. He came here and prac-
tically organized the present Christian
church. Five years before, an attempt
to establish a congregation had been
made, but failed. Eleven mem
bers of the old congregation were
found by Mr.. Zeran. With this
nucleus, he went to work, and toda,
there are more than 130 members en-
rolled.
With his departure for Arkansas, thu
Employment Bureau, which has beel
in operation by the church for severa
months. will be closed. F. w. Nasor
who has been assisting Mr.. Zeran, ha
found that it will be impossible fo
him to continue the work alone.
The Bentonville church is a lare
one, and the call to 1t was accepte
by Mr. Zeran in preference to one
Meridian. Better opportunities fl
greater work in Arkansas are afforde
Mr.. Zeran said, and for that reason Il
Bentonville church was selected.
