small proportion of the gain. Probably
the chief value of the apparatus he per-
fected which made available the enor-
nous deposits of sulphur that lie 500 feet
below the surface and are covered by
quicksand in Louisiana was the transfer
to the United Stats of pre-eminence in
and almost exclusive control of the sui
phur industry of the world.
Before Mr.. Frasch showed how this
sulphur could be brought from beneath
the surface we were compelled to depend
chiefly upon Sicily for tour; sulphur In
Sicily sulphur was mined by men, who
descended in pits which We're very hot
and who worked in underground cham
bers notwithstanding the suffocating
fumes of sulphur. These men brought to
the surface the sulphur which they col
lected, carrying it in baskets upon their
backs and climbing long ladders. Mr..
Frasch showed how pure sulphur could
be brought from a depth of 500 teet to the
surface without any muscular labor being
performed beneath the surface.
The industry thus made possible in
creased the money value of Louisiana s
total output by about $6,000,000 and 1t
made the United States pre-eminent in
the production of sulphur. Skillful and
expedient understanding which was
reached with the Italian government pre-
vented the utter destruction of the ST.
Gillian industry. Sir Henry Bessemer
once said to the late Abram 8. Hewitt
that his invention of the Bessemer pro-
cess for producing steel had brought hin,
about $2o.000,oO0 American money. Mr.
Hewitt, who was a master statistician
made computation which showed that
the Bessemer process within % years OF
its perfection had increased the wealth
of the world by an amount approximately
equal to the total money wealth of the
civilized nations of the world 100 years
before Sir Henry made his invention. Mr.
Frasch's apparatus yearly increases the
wealth of the United States in various
ways, but his share in that game was

Chas. Ray, local conductor, stated that there were two men on the local as far as Wilton, but refused to ride fur. ther when they learned that the train stopped at Ashd0wn. A pOs- SC was formed composed of Bob Pierce, Bob Finley, Chester Simp- son, Frank Clowdis and Oscar Hampton who set out in a car to- ward Wilton. They met the men in the road. The deputies leaped from the car and Deputy Pierce commanded, "Hands Up" twice, but both the men succeeded in drawing pistols, and one of them was in position to fire on Uncle Bc5 Finley When the pistols of MT.
