DESPERATE man
LODGED At JAIL
OVER SUNDAY

From Sunday noon until nearly mid
night one of the most desperate Grim
inals ever confined in the Colorado
penitentiary was held for safe keep
ing in the Richmond city jail.
This man, James Dillon, was re-
Gently arrested in Canada following a
sensational bank robbery at Houston,
Pa, and is now being returned to
Canon City, Col, by Lieut.. Green of
the Colorado penitentiary guard, to
finish a life sentence for the murder
of the proprietor of gambling house
at Pueblo, about three years ago.
While an honor convict Dillon es-
capped two year ago. He was arrested
in Canada about week ago.
Lieut. Green also had in custody a
patrol violator, whom he secured at
Columbus, O., John Gilmore.
Green, a typical looking western
frontiersman, before resuming his
Journey displayed to his two captives
IA calibre revolver. I'm going to
treat you fellows right as long as you
behave" he drawled But if any
one Of you starts something some un-
dertaker is going to get a job
Dillon, Green states, recently met a
man living on small farm near Hous-
ton, Pa, who has also served time in
the Colorado prison. One day the lat
ter part of April these two men enter
ed the Houston bank at high noon,
stuck up the cashier and got away
with $4,000.

German Lines Crumb!e.

Between Estrees and Assevillers the
German line, which was defended by
twenty one battalions of troops has
crumpled beneath the blows Of the
allies
In the lulls of the infantry fighting
the big guns of the French and Brit
ish are continuously bombarding the
German positions.
For week or more the sheiling
has continued day and night Late
dispatches from the front show that
the German line has been bent back
from five to seven miles by the mighty
offensive of the British and French
troops.
Military critics hail this achieve
ment as one of remarkable Importance
In view of the strength of the German
positions and the great amount Of ar
tillery and ammunition massed be-
hind the German front that the Ger
mans have the advantage Of strategic
highways and railways for the quick
shifting of troops, but this advantage
has proved futile in the efforts to halt
the advances of the allied troops.
The capture of Fries. south of the
Somme, has wiped out the German sal
lent, which extended into the French
line at that point, and has also placed
the allies in position to menace i'm
portant military roads.

BOARD
TC COMPLETE WORK
At NEXT SESSION

The board of review has its work al.
most complete. Wednesday morning
it will meet and finish up the remain.
ing business and then adjourn.
William Mathews, county assessor,
said today that assessments levied
this year would just about equal those
Of last year.
The ruling of the state board that
mortgages shall be assessed at IS per
cent Of face value instead Of at full
value as has been the custom in pre-
vious years, tends to cut down the
total assessments.
Saturday the board lowered the as
sessment on the Warden-W ho-
tel from s14,7S0, last years levy, to
s11,432.
Other values set Saturday follow:
Wayne Works company, Richmond,
$103,750; 1915, S102,570.
Westcott Motor Car company, Rich
mond, $4,000; 1915, $42,940
Wayne Ice company, $3.50; 1915,
$3.50

TROOPS CHEER
LOCAL CROWDS
FOR WELCOME

Enthusiastic greeting was extended
the Fifth New Jersey infantry Satur.
urday afternoon and night by large
crowds assembled at the Pennsylvania
station.
The travel-benrimed and weary
troopers, crowded in day coaches and
tourist sIeepers, greatly appreciated
the welcome, and their cheers rang
with heartfelt sincerity.
Carries All Equipment.
The first section of the train, COM
prising the baggage wagons, ambu-
lances, baggage train horses, the serv-
ice company, mounted scouts and regi-
mental headquarters orderlies, arrived
in the city at 3:15 in the afternoon.
The second and third sections of
the train, owing to delay in changing
cars at Columbus, o., arrived in Rich
mond several hours behind schedule.
These last two sections carried twelve
companies and nearly all the officers.
The second section pulled into the
station at II O'Clock, and the third
section was about ten minutes behind
it.
Crowd Arouses S!eepers.
Many of the wearied soldiers were
asleep when the last two sections
reached Richmond, but they were all
aroused by the cheering Of crowd of
5000 Hoosier patriots.
Probably the most interested and
enthusiastic member of this big crowd
was Mrs Lindener Of this city. Her
two brothers were members of the
Regiment, Captain w NJ. Mean, and
Sergeant Major Douglas Meade of Pat
erson, n. j.
About midnight train, carrying in
three sections the First Pennsylvania
infantry, pulled into the city, and quite
a large crowd was present to extend
welcome to Indiana to those troopers.
To every soldier who passed through
Richmond Saturday was given a SOU
venir Richmond post card with a
stamp on it. Hundreds of packs of Gig
arettes, smoking tobacco and cigars
were distributed. These tokens Of
appreciation from the enthusiastic
crowd made a decided hit with the
troops
Crowd Pets Girls.
In the afternoon a hastily recruited
drum and bugal corps kept the waiting
crowd in a martial mood. Two pets Of
the crowd were two little girls, each
attired In a dress made of an Ameri-
can flag. A miss of twenty also wore
a dress made of the national colors.
The New Jersey boys were happy
go-lucky lot, with a twang to their
speech like London cockneys. And
they flirted outrageously with girls
who distributed post cards among
them.
Sergeant Wilson Of this city, who
saw service with the Fourth United
States cavalry on the Texas frontier
during the Indian campaigns following
the Civil war, was on hand to give the
New Jersey guardsmen some practical
advice as to soldering on the sun
baked Texas plains.
A rigorous censorship was exercised
by the railroad officials regarding the
movements of the troop trains and the
crowd had to guess on the time these
trains would arrive. To be sure they
wouldn'd miss seeing the soldiers hun
dreds of persons waited several hours
at the station.
The Patriotic association, organized
to extend a welcome to troops pass
ing through the city, carried out its
work in most efficient manner.

LATIN AMERICA
CAUSES DELAY
BY CARRANzA

WASHINGTON, July 8. Pressure
by the Latin-American diplomatic
corps in Mexico City is the real reason
for the delay in sending to Washington
Carranza's reply to the American de-
mand that he outline his purposes to-
ward the American forces in Mexico.
latin-Americans here, who have been
working in unison with their COL
leagues at the carranza capital, ad-
mitted as much today.
And they expressed confidence that
they yet would be able TO get reply
made to this government that would
satisfy the United States, or at least
would be made the medium for further
negotiations. Meanwhile, however,
there will be no let-up in the activity
Of the United States.

SAFETY AND SANITY
FAILS TO DECREASE
FIREWORKS DEMAND

Fireworks are just as much in de-
mand this year as in former years,
according TO George Brehm, who says
that all local dealers are selling out
their stock.
I'VE expected that In the face of
the agitation for safe and sane
Fourth the sale of fireworks would
show marked decrease from year TO
year, and we have been surprised by
the ready sale of all sorts of fire
works.
