That the robber was familiar with
the pay days OF the company is quite
evident. as the crew was paid that
day. Only few of the men had
their checks and the robber took no
thing but money, his haul was quite
small, being about $4,000.
The officials were notified at once,
and search for the robber started
but up to this writing he had not
been apprehended. A clew was es-
tablished by one of our citizens. who,
on the urgent appeal of a stranger
with good excuse, took him as far

the officials that he was the man who
committed the robbery.

Another immense waterway system

Now, there are 1900 miles of Iiavi-

contemplated improvements in the re-
