With our discoveries Of the morning
the plan OF the robbery became per-
fectly plain. Some giant OF finance
among the spectators had evolved q
scheme by which the mine not only
might be shut down during the inter-
val OF waiting for the railroad 10 build

be made TO yield a bumper crop OF
profits.
Taking It's various steps In their or

conditions OF the sale (Beasley told us

He didn't press the matter any
further. and we rode on In silence. As
we approached the neighhorhood of
the mine. evidences Of the forthputting
activities began to manifest them
selves.
Daddy Hiram met us at the door OF
his newly repaired cabin across the
dump head and insisted upon taking
care OF the horses. Beasley aud I

The play *fDeacon Dubbs," given

spite Of the condition Of the weather.
The play was one of the best ever put
on at Lastrup and all characters
showed exceptionally good skill in act
ing their parts. The Holm orchestra OF
Pulaski furnished music between acts
and also for the dance which followed
. the play. All seemed to have had =
very enjoyable time and the dancing
continued until the wee hours Of the
/; morning. The proceeds amounted 70
over 800. ST ST & 81. s..
! The directors Of the play wish to
thank tho characters who rendered
their services and also all other per-
sons who helped in making the play .
