HON. max DALTON
SHOWS HIGH SPIRIT
Of PHILANTHROPY

Little Albert Hinton agt near
twelve years became the sub
ject of comment and the object
OF respect through Hor. Max
Dalton, Recorder of the council
OF Kimball and one Of the out
stasding Insurance Represent
atives of the Metropolitan Life
Insurance Company, who learn
ing of this, little colored boy
being bereft of his mother now
in the city of New York and
having been advised ltby Mrs.
Hinton of the fact that the boy
was alone is the world without
the proper help and safeguard,
responded at once by coming to
the city of Keystone, found
little Albert and with the ad-
vice of Mrs. Hinton, now in
custody of the Federal law,
secured a ticket to New York
fas-little Albest wired his
original mother now in New
York gave the boy plenty of
miney to take care of his every
want and need, wired his
mother to the effect that the
boy would reach New York at
a certain time. This he (Mr.
Max Dalton) met sixteen East
Bound Passenger train of the
Norfolk and Western at North
fork This done under loud and
cheering applause of the gener-
al public in Keystone as we'll
as those in Northfork. They
too, without pay more than a
spirit of humanity. The mother
and the Foster mother, having
workers, to his knowledge and
at the same time they had car
always been loyal and faithful
ried insurance risks with big
company. Mr.. Dalton also had
sympathy for Mrs. Hinton who
had undergoneso much trouble
knowing how SHE had striven
to educate her son. Such a
bi heart as that, when too, he
was under no personal obligat-
ion when too he was receiving
no financial emolument for
such a deed merits for Mr.. Dali
ton the respect and applauds of
any self respecting citizen.

Keystone Policemen
Arrest Robber Break
ing In Hatcher Store
Culprit Sent To Answer
Action Grand Jury

Perhaps one of the finest
and most justifiable detections
of a highway robber was the
one caught up with one night
this week by Lieutenant Off
Ger l.. l.. Hughes and Police
officer Charles France. This
was a case wherein white
man-yes and an out-of-town
white man, big and hurley,
weighing something over two
hundred pounds waited till
near five o'clock in the morn
ing before he proceeded with
his hellishness, daring any and
everybody. When he had priced
the door open Messrs. Hughes
a II q France, being natural
detectives, having suspected
and spotted the culprit covered
him with their guns after he
had entered, whereupon the
robber showed fight. They
made him to know that he was
in the wrong church and the
wrong psws and that he was
barking up the wrong tree. At
once the officers made the cul-
prit to know that Hotel George
Reed was the place for him
where he could have the bene-
fit of solid concrete floor up
on which to scamper, dance and
play bad. Thus he was safely
escorted to his private cell
without being disturbed.
The next night trial or hear
ing was given before Mayor j.
j. Stuart who ordered the
would be robber turned over
to the Grand Jury who will
most likely recommend his in
dicement so when trial comes
off before Judge Marshell and
he has to face a jury of twelve
men of his peer they will re-
commend his return to the
Penitentiary where he has just |
come from.
