Large Force Ready

The adjutant general has 1000
men of the 151st Infantry prepared
to mobilize and move into the south
ern Indiana coal fields at a moments
notice. The small force of troops
already here constituted a threat OF
the State authorities to union
miners that should rioting, such as
that in Warrick County last week
in which several nonunion miners
were dubbed and one stabbed, recur,
instant action would follow.
Both Evansville and Warrick
County civil authorities expressed
surprise when they learned troops
were coming. 1t was stated here
that Governor Jackson and the adj
jutant general decided to send the
troops upon advice of Majs. l.. A.
Hartman and Robert Stillwell, Ev-
ansville, who have been official OBJ
servers in the troubled district for
some time. It was understood that
a report that union miners from out
Of the State. presumably from iii
nois and Kentucky. might march in
precipitated the sudden movement
Of troops. Boonville and Evansville
citizens were more surprised than
the civil authorities. because quiet
has prevailed for several dayY. Sto-
ries that citizens of Boonville were
going about armed were denied.

Of meetings OF lodges, clubs and
societies fostered by his wife, Mrs.

he arise very early in the morning
He was prevented from going .

Cool headedness on the part
Of the manager of the Sanitary
Grocery store at Sixth and
Massachusetts, Avenue, n E.,
today saved the money, taken
in at the store yesterday, from
q bandit who demanded it at
the point of gun.
Had Just Opened
Charles Corridor, 1905 F st.
n. E., manager of the store, had
just opened up the place, and he
and three assistants were getting
ready for business when a white
man about 80 years old, walked
in.
Suddenly he pulled out a gun
and backed Corridors three clerks
into the rear. room. He then de-
manded that the manager turn
over yesterdays receipts.
Told There Was None
Corridor told him the collector
has just been around for the money
and there was none in the store.
Apparently satisfied the bandit
backed out and made his escape.
Twenty minutes later the collector
came around and took he money
which had been in the safe all the
time.
Another chain store was held up
last night when three youths
walked into the Atlantic and Pacific

Gone is the sunshine out Of my life,
Now have darkness and have strife.
Gone Il the voice and sweet little
THAT always seemed ID make things
worth while.
Gone are the eyes with their HisIning
light.
Leaving lne here In the IoBely night.
Gone d all that life held for me-
Just q dream that never could be.
