Post Office at Bluff Springs
Robbed and In six hours
Arrests are Made.
SEBREE BLOOD HOUNDS USED
Sam Fuller, One of The Men
Arrested, is Seriously
Wounded.

Sunday night about 8 o'clock, the
post office at Bluff Spring was brok-
en- into. 1t was kept in the store of
j. b. Atkinson, and Mr.. Atkinson,
the postmaster, acted with prompt
ness. He at once reported the theft
to the sheriff's Office and without a
moments delay the owner Of the Sc
bree bloodhounds was called up and
by getting an order for the fast night
train TO stop al Sebree, the blood
hounds got here by II O'Clock, three
hours after the house was broken in
to. y
Deputy Sheriffs Herbert johnson
and Low johnson rushed them to the
scene at once in an auto and the dogs
took the fresh trail and went directly
to the stable of Clinton Pitzer. Sam
Fuller was found in the barn and at
tempted to make his escape by
squeezing through a small crack.
The sheriffs had summoned Mr.. At
kinSon and others as a posse to assist
in the arrests and some one in the
sheriff's party stopped Fuller with a
pistol shot that struck him on the
right side of his back and come out
through his left lung. He was taken
in charge. A little later Clinton Pit
ger and Bob Johns were met in the
road and arrested. On the way
down they had been passed and
stopped and a search made which dis
closed pistols and some money in
their pockets. They were not ar
rested at the time as the officers were
intent on getting to the fresh trail.
After the dogs led to Pliers stable,
they decided to look after him also
and luckily found him and Johns to-
gether without much effort. All
three of the men were brought to
town and lodged in Jail and Fuller's
wound attended to. 1t is a serious
but not necessarily fatal wound.
The officers in returning found that
another store in the vicinity, that of
Mrs. West, had also been broken in
to. The dogs were put on this trail
but lost it at the road, where the
thieves had evidently mounted horses
or gotten into a vehicle.
The job from start to finish was
handled with the utmost dispatch and
efficiency. The robbery was l6
miles from town, the dogs were So
miles from Hopkinsviile and yet they
were brought here in three hours and
in three hours more the work had
been finished and the men arrested
were safe in jail.
The men all lived in the the neigh
borhood of Bluff Springs and Sam
Fuller has been in trouble before.

NEARING
THE END
General Assembly Is Winding
Up And Will Out
Tomorrow.
IMPORTANT MEASURES PASS
No Fights Among The Members
Since Last Friday---POwerS
Wins.

Frankfort, KY, March 13.-The
session of the Legislature will end
tomorrow.
So much time has been lost in al
most endless wrangling and quarrel
ing resulting in charges and counter
charges, the passing of the lie and an
attempted fist fight, that some sadly
needed legislation will never get to
the governor for his signature.
The liquor question, as in other
sessions, has been the source of most
of the trouble during this session.
Much time, last week, was taken in
arguing the temperance question and
the Hutchcraft substitute for the
Greene anti-screen law is now ready
for Governor SANKEY'S approval. 1t
is believed here the governor will
sign the measure.
There is no question that Gov.
Stanley is sincere in his intention to
enforce the measure, once it becomes
law. 1t carries an emergency
fclause, making it effective as soon as
he signs his name to the bill. He
will undoubtedly lose no time in per-
forming his duty to prove not only its
effectiveness, but also his own sin
cerity.
Another bill which Governor STAN
ley is expected to sign is the Knight
workmen's compensation bill, which
marked the winning of long and
hard fight in behalf of the laboring
men of the state. Representatives of
labor were in the house galleries
when the revitalized measure was
passed without dissenting vote.
The bill of Senator Huffaker, pro-
viding for the employment of convicts
on public highways, was passed by
the house Saturday and Governor
Stanly will unquestionably sign this,
one of the measures which he pledged
the people would be enacted into law.
Despite the squabbles and quarrels
which marked last week, by working
Overtime the legislators transacted
some business. They killed the wo-
mans suffrage bill, tabled the So
called Finn bill and gave big boost
to the Barrett boxing commission bill
to legalize prize fights.
i AS is usual, consideration of bills
was rapid and action was taken on
many measures. The senate on one
day appropriated $4,000, which is
more than has been appropriated
during the previous days of all the
session. All of the money went to
charitable and educational institutions.
One of the bitterest fights of the
session was that of last Friday night
over the ripper bill, which it is
charged, was intended to make such
changes in the Tenth and Eleventh
districts that Caleb Powers would be
unable to succeed himself.
During the night fillibuster in the
house against the bill, such disgrace
full scenes were witnessed, that
Speaker Duffy Saturday morning
named eight assistant sergeant-at-
arms and instructed them to use
whatever force is necessary" in
making members maintain order.
II was finally tabled, which ends its
career during this session.

Will Not Let Uncle Sam Invade
Mexico Unless He is Allowed
Same Privilege.
FUNSTON KEEPS CLOSE MOUTH
Not Known When Expedition
Will Begin Pursuit
of Villa.

Washington, D. c. March, 49,
Carranza on Sunday night followed
up his request for a reciprocal invas-
ion privilege, by issuing a manifesto
that under no circumstances would
he grant the right to the United States
to invade Mexico without a recipro-
cal privilege to his forces.
Secrecy regarding Gen. Funston S
plans for moving against Villa and his
bandits has been so rigidly enforced
at the war department that even high
officials Of the government were in
doubt tonight at to whether American
troops actually had crossed the Next
can border.
Secretary Baker announced that
the Twenty-third infantry, now at
Galveston, Tex, had been ordered TO
Fl Paso because Of fear of Mexican
attacks felt in many towns along the
border.
When President Wilson returns to
Washington this morning, after a
weekend outing on the yacht May
flower, he will take up with Secre-
tary Lansing the note from Gen. Car
rama, requesting permission for the
de facto troops to pursue bandits into
American territory, should the need
arise. Administration officials antici-
pate prompt answer to Gen. Car.
rama, and believe it will be satisfac.
tory to the defacto government.
The President will find both the
White House and war department in
direct Geographic communication
with virtually every strategic point
along the border involved in the
present situation. To save delay in
transmitting messages, this arrange
ment has been made with the tele-
graph Companies, and should the ex-
peditionary forces string field wire
behind them after crossing the
border, il would be possible for re-
ports to 90 directly from the front to
the department.
The general instructions to Gen.
Funston, it is understood, lay stress
upon the necessity of impreSsing
Mexicans on both sides of the border
with the fact that the United States is
interested only in defending its own
borders, and that troop movements
now in progress or contemplated have
no other object. Officers of the ex-
peditionary force will be directed to
make this clear to civilians as well as
officials of the de facto government
with whom they come in contact.
Instructions are explicit, it is said, to
capture or dispense bandits and re-
turn to the United States territory
Immediately.

Let us hope that Carranza will make
a fool of himself and makeit unneces-
sary for us to take two bites at a
cherry. When the American flag is
again raised in Mexico, it ought not to
be lowered until ample satisfaction
and indemnity have been obtained for
all the American lives and property lost
in Mexico and Mexicans high and low
are taught to Salute the flag.

SayVille Censor:
Irritates Berlin
eERNsToRFF MAKES INQUIRY
ABOUT SUPPRESSED
REPORTS.

I WASHINGTON, Feb. 16-The Ger
mans government through Count Won
Bernstorff, It's ambassador here, today
formally asked the United States to
explain why the American wireless
censor at Sayville suppressed the offt
cal announcement Of the German ad-
rIrialty of the reported sinking OF the
North Sea British cruiser Arabs on
February II.
At the Navy department 1t is admit
.ec: that Berlin official dispatches have
Lken suppressed by the SayviIie cen
stfs because they considered them
coming under the inhibition OF Secre-
tary Daniels orders permitting the
massage OF war dispatches provided no
reference was made TO movements or
locations OF vsr or other vessels OF
belligerents.
It is explained that this order was
made in the interests Of neutrality
and the fact that the German govern
ment itself authorized the Arabic an
nouncement is not considered to have
altered the situation.
