The Star Telegram recently report
ed a holdup by one highwayman OF
four in 80 minutes.
l.. Ingle mentioned in the story
is son OF p. j. Ingle OF Snyder
Here Is the story as told by the FIT.
Worth paper
automatic pistol held up four men
in sensational fashion on the west
side streets within period OF 80
minutes Thursday night. He got
his third and fourth victims at Sixth
and Lamar Streets while police de-
tectives were combing that neigh
borhood for him.
The first holdup was at 18th
and Taylor streets. He met a
man coming out OF residence there
and took all the money he had.
l.. Ingle of 922 Taylor Street re-
fused to be held up when the high
wayman accosted him near Seventh
and Lamar streets.
81 won't put up my hands, said
Ingle, who had roll on him.
The highwayman held the pistol
against Ingle's body and attempted
to go through Ingle's pockets. lngle
backed off and talked the robber
out of il"
81 ought to shoot you through the
foot for meanness" said the robber,
walking off toward Seventh street.
.Ingle walked with him the robber
warned him to go back.
I'm going that way, too
Ingle told him, and walked on look
ing for help. At Seventh ST., Ingle
stopped and watched the highway
man cross the street down Lamar.
Ingle stopped two automobiles and
three pedestrians seeking someone
to help him capture the man but
none would volunteer for the task.
In front of Sis Lamar Street the
robber met Frank w. Morris, travel
ing representatives of the American
Sugar Refineries Company, with
headquarters at San Antonio. He
forced Morris to put his hands in
the air and took $40 in money and
diamond stickpin from him.
During this operation John c.
Palm. land and tax representative
OF the Fort Worth & Denver railway,
stepped out OF the door OF his home
at 615 Lamar Street. Morris saw
him and called for help.
"Tn hold you up too said the
robber. and walked up the steps
with his pistol and took Palms gold
watch and chain from him.
Give me back that watch II
was given to me by my father and
mother" Palm requested.
Get back in that door or I'll
shoot you" the robber told him and
walked down the steps past Morris
who was still standing there and on
down the street.
Palm followed him to Fifth and
Taylor Streets. asking him to re-
turn the watch because of the SEN
timental value. The robber made
40 further answer but disappeared
down an alley way
While searching Morris the rob
her placed the pistol under his arm
pit and searched with both hands.
Several automobiles ptssed and
the holdup of both Palm and Morris
was in the full glare OF their lights,
After the first holdup police and
detectives began search OF West
side streets for the man. Detectives
James and Langdon walked aeout
he streets singly as bait for the
,ighwayman. They passed the |
scene. Of the holdups at Sixth and |
lamar Streets only a few minutes /
before.
Three OF the victims say the high
yayman was drunk They could
nell whiskey on his breath they say,
nd he was slightly unsteady in his
tops. Palm. who followed him for
wo blocks, says he walked straight.

Fifty years is an almost Ineligible
period in the history of a continent
or Of Il nation. Yet it was but fifty
years ago this month hat the first
American transcontinental railroad
w&s completed, There has been for
years a great controversy as to the
best route. An influential party
the southern route. Thomas
II. Benson, Of Missouri, favored the
central route, for the unique reason
that the b~uGfaloes always took it on
their migrations. THE central
he said, had been designated
by the buffalocs in prehistoric times.
1t is good for all sorts Of roads and in
all seasons" The southern route, he
insisted, was u route 0vcr which no
buffalo could be made to so even by
the power OF the governments His
argument was picturesque:
That sensible old animal would
die before he would he made such
a fool of as to be conducted to the
Sacramento, or the san joaquin.
or san Francisco, via the hyper
borean region of upper Canada
or New Caledonia, or via the
burning deserts of Sonora and
Chihuahua. People now travel
the central route and praise it;
buffalo travel it and repeat their
travel, which is their praise.
The buffalo Finally won out. and
the last spike" was driven with
great ceremony on the tenth of May
1869. Many persons are living today
who remember the celebration.
The half century of wonderful de-
velopment that followed the compile
ton Of this line is familiar enough to
those wig are now enjoying It's bene-
fits. Time, of course, showed tina it
was not merely to reach the Pacific
coast that transcontinental roads
must be built. but to open up the
great central valleys and vast stretches
fertile land between. There was
only empire reaching to be ac-
complishd, but empire building.
Northern routes and southern routes
became logical and necessary and
have performed their part in the
drama of empire.
And what we see now has been ac-
coTnplished in these fifty eventfui
and c~olorful years.
Somehow the present argument
over ocean routes for airplanes re-
calls the old argument 50 routes
across the continent. Shall we fly
direct from Newfoundland to Ireland,
or to the Azores, and then to Great
Britain by way of Portugal? Doubt.
less all the possible routes will ulti-
mately be utilized.
over continents, over seas, we shall
fly with greater and greater ease,
and the next fifty years will doubt
less be as full of marvels as the last
half century has been. Many of US
who are here now will be alive then
to express the same wonder in it all
that we feel today on this half cen
fury anniversary of the first railroad
across h trackles' plains.

 The Tribolet Packing company, one of the largest wholesale meat firms in Arizona, is largely dependent upon the mining centers of the state for the bulk of its trade and in consequence the improving conditions especially gratifying to them.
 Conditions locally good for this of the year, Mr. Volta states, but there has been decreasing tendency during the past few days This is only to be expected he says and has little or effect upon the market, nasmuch ample provision has been made to meet this condition.
 Prices remain fairly firm although there is slight downward tendency This is occasioned it is stated, by
 slight oversupply rather than noticeable decrease in wholesale prices of beef and hogs
 Wholesale dealing is exceptionally light at this time Few cattle being shipped for marketing purpose, the big movement not being scheduled until late in the fall

Perkins, who bought him for the mas cot of his company, named him "Old Abe, in honor. of Abraham Lincoln. He went into battle many a time.
 At first he was afraid, then when the battle grew more terrible, he seemed to forget his fear and would shriek and flap his wings in anger. Soon he would stand right by the can non, and he actually learned to like the noise and excitement. The bullets cut his feathers sometimes, but he came out of the war safe and sound. He escaped once or twice, but must have loved the soldiers dearly, fog when they displayed the colors and waited quietly for him he came back. As soon as they learned that he would return to them the soldiers let him out when they could for exercise. They divided their rations with him. and no amount of money could pur- chase Old Abe you may be sure.
 After the war the now famous eagle, known everywhere, was pre- sented to the state of Wisconsin. He lived for seventeen years in the capi- tol and thousands of people came to see him.
 One day five years after the war some soldier comrades went to the capitol to pay him a visit. One of them gave the whistle Old Abe knew so well

We have been so lax in this respectthatitWasnece l this respect that it was necessary to pass special laws to enable us to make war. With the ending of the war, these laws lapse. But We have learned from the war no lesson worth while if we have not learned that it is necessary to protect our liberties in peace no less vigilantly than in war. The laws which are voided with the termination of our beI6gerency must be replaced with laws of equal or greater scope and se- yerity for the protection of all that we have won in war and preserved in the century and half of our national.

With the inflexibIe execution of such g, policy there will be no occasion for total exclusion of immi- grafton, the good as well as the bad. Without such a policy, total exclusion of immigration would not avail.
 That is not to say that the present immigration laws should not be re- vised and be enforced witf more strict ness than they have been in a too lib- eral past. More undesirables can be kept out with barring all desirables. But to keep out all undesirables in the future will not insure us relief from the menace, which must be effected by reforming or getting rid of the unde- sirables we already have.

 That would prevent further addition to the fuel and further ingress of the adventures, but it would not make Americans of the aliens already among us and it would not stop the activities of the incendiaries already at work among them. And there are now in this country enough of both classes to make possible all the disorders which might come from continued immigra- ton.

 Old Abe went to the centennial in Philadelphia in 1876, and it is probable that someone in your family saw him there. His keeper thought there was no bird in all the great country of America so fine as Old Abe He was made as comfortable as possible and seemed contented as long as he lived.

 There is no denying the strong provo cation for such policy. Our past gen erosity in admitting immigrants has proved a grave mistake.
