The weekly tribune and the Cape County herald. (Cape Girardeau, Mo.) 1914-1918, 1915-04-23

Brown said he came to the Cape
from Memphis several days ago, and
that since arriving in the city he had
been unable to secure employment and
was compelled to stay in South Cape
with band of tramps.
He said that in the band were three
desperate men who were planning to
commit some robborics as soon as
they, could get another man to Join
them. He said the leader of the or
ganization was called big Boy" and
that the other two were known as Red
Jackson and Curly Smith.
Brown said that "Big Boy" told him
that they were going 20 rob the bank
in Haarig and that they needed one
more man to join them before they
tried to pull off the job.
When questioned as to whether or
not they were armed he told the Off
Ger that big Boy" had Colts auto
matte besides a pearl handled gun and
another revolver.
He said that they had been in the
habit of sleeping in the sheds and on
the boilers at the Cooperage Company
Mills, and that they usually came in
little after 10 o'clock.
He was perfectly willing to give in
formation concerning the alleged rob
bers, but appeared to be afraid to be
seen by them with the officers. When
Chief Hutson told him that he must
accompany the posse Of officers to the
place where the men stayed at night,
he begged him not to let Big Boy
see him with the policemen.
When he was assured that he would
be protected he appeared somewhat
satisfied and was not so reluctant
about going with the officers.
4 little after $3.50 o'clock last night,
Chief Hutson with a number of his
men, took the negro lad with them and
started to locate the bandits.
The men were known to both OH
GER Whitencr and Detective Finson
who had seen them in conversation
with the negro yesterday afternoon.
A thorough search was instituted and
more than dozen strangers were
routed from their slumbers in the
boiler rooms, bat nothing could be
seen of the men for whom the search
was being made.
Employees at the mill said that these
strangers come in and go out all
through the night, but close watch
failed to reveal the accused men.
big Boy" and one CT the others
were seen yesterday afternoon on
Main street, but at that time the Of
ficers did not know that they were
contemplating a robbery in the city,
and made no effort to detain them.
Wednesday night the three of them
secured a room at the Prescott HOTEL
but one Of them left before the others
retired, and but two of them remained |
through the night Mr.. Ramsey, the
of the place, said that the |
Iiqht in the room he had assigned |
them was not giving good service, and
he went to another room to secure
larger globe.
When he returned two of the men
were oiling their revolvers. The one

BLAZE CAUSED
BY BACK FIRE
FROM GASOLINE ENGINE ACCORD
ING TO r. N. ciLlELAND,
JR., YESTERDAY.
Mr.. Gilleland Returns From pitts
bur9h and Will Decide Today
Whether They VIII
Rebuild.

Mr.. r. NJ. Gilleland, a member OF the
Gasoline-On Supply company, whose
plant burned Tuesday afternoon, near
Third street, Benwood, returned home
last evening from Pittsburgh. and IL
is said that he win determine today
whether the plant win be rebuilt or
not. While the plant Is not a total
loss, much money would be necessary
in its Improvement. II is thought,
however, that the plant will be rebuilt.
Last evening 1t was learned that
the loss was not estimated. but Il is
thought that $4,000 would cover the
damages. Between thirty-fve and
forty thousand gallons OF gasoline
was burned by the fire, which swept
the entire plant. Five large tanks
used for storing gasoline are a total
loss. but the efficient work OF the
hremen OF both Benwood and Wheel
ing. saved the main building from
destruction. A stream Of water was
played on the flames all night last
night by the Benwood fire department
and one by the Riverside fire depart
ment.
While there is several causes at
tributed to the blaze. the only logical
one that has been determined by Mr..
X. Nj. Gilleland. Jr., is that the gaso-
line caught from the back-fire OF a
gasoline engine. One spark from the
blast furnace of the Riverside works
might have caused the blaze. This Is
hardly possible they say. as the plant
IS several hundred feet from the blast
furnace.
