ACY HOMilt MEMORY OF
SOUTHER N HERO WITH

The exercises held at Gordon

Then followed the address by
Rev. Hugh Morris. It was a mas
terful effort and he paid a beauti

long years of deadly strife. Mr.
Morris is a very strong, forceful
and elegant speaker and made a
good impression oA this occasion.
A vocal solo by Mrs. M. W.

HAD MIDNIGHT
BURGLAR BATTLE.
POLICEMAN HOB CHAPMAN EN
GAGED IN FIGHT WITH
CRACKSMEN TUES
DAY NIGHT.
Barnesville was visited by a
gang of safeblowers Tuesday night.
Two of them came down on the
11 o'clock train and got oft’ here
to do business. About 12 o’clock
a great noise of firing of pistols
was heard up near the Congrega
tional Methodist church. Police
man Chapman, accompanied by
several others, went up to investi
gate. On reaching the scene the
marauders were ordered to cease
firing and halt. Instead of obey
ing they opened fire on the party
who returned the compliment. A
regular fusilade ensued and forty
or fifty shots were exchanged, but
without any one being hit and in
the darkness the burglars made
off.
This morning Policeman Chap
man and Mr. Chas. Bailey went to
Topeka Junction looking for the
men. Not finding them out there
they started to return home. On
their way back they halted two
men on the Thomaston railroad,
near Marshburn’s farm, theycapt
ured one of them but the other
escaped.
The one captured was brought
back to Barnesville and placed in
the lockup. When searched three
skeleton keys, a 38 pistol,three or
four fuses, and a charge of nitro
glycrine were found on his person,
showing that lie was an expert
safe-blower.
The burglar lms the appearance
of being about 25 years of age and
no new hand at the business. He
was placed in jail to await futher
developments.
A telephone message was re
ceived about 2 o’clock from Yates
ville Wednesday evening, stating
that Mr. /. T. Evans had captur
ed the other burglar and was on
his way to Barnesville with him.
