RI6SBY PULLS OFF A
LITTLE MARATHON STUNT
ROUNDS UP THREE WHITE MEN
WHO WERE Ho5oING FROM
LOUISVILLE.
wednesdays Daily Herald)

Officer Roy Rigsby had himself
some fun this morning when a big
double header freight train pulled in
10 the North yards from Nashville.
bound for the nitra,e plant at Sher-
field, and three young white men. ages
about twenty to twenty-five alighted
from their Pullman berths aboard the
palace cars and proceeded to wead
their way UP to the station. They had
not much more than touched terra
iirma when Officer Rigsby's eagle eve
was right on them. in fact he saw thu
operation of embarkation from their
births. When the three young Iads
saw the officer and realized what
they were up against they bolted and
pulled off little Marathon exhibition,
but Rigsby's early training on base
bal team stood him well in hand and
he soon had them rounded up.
The young men were brought 10
town and locked up in the county jail
to await trial They gave their names
as win Hull, John Ratchet and Harry
Webb, and said they had been to
Louisville and were bound for Birm-
ingham
Columbia is about the best loved
place on the entire system of the l..
d n. railroad by the hobos. and
especially are they fond of Officer
Rigsby. They all say that they have
very little trouble getting by othcc
places, and even in Nashville It is
easier to get by than it is to ger
through the system in Columbia.

down to the river and showed them
all the advantages Tarpon Springs
has to offer in the way of waterfront
property, machine shops marine ways,
etc. Of course there are many advan-
tages which could not be shown but
which will be available if the plant is
located here.
Mr.. Noblit said the question of suf-
ficient depth of water was about the
biggest stumbling block, and there is
to be survey made to determine this
point. He also remarked that if the
industry was located here it would
furnish work for approximately 800
men about the number that have left
the city to find employment elsewhere.
We certainly hope the committee
in charge of the affair will be able to
get the barge building plant located
in Tarpon Springs.
