SMOOTH TRAIN ROBBERS
Enter Express Car Throw Messenger
Out, Rob Safe and Escape
Texarkana, Dec. 1.—The Pacific
Express car attached to the north
UhuhI Cotton Belt passenger train
due here at 7:25 tonight was rob
bed thirteen miles south of this
city at 7 o’clock and Express
Messenger W. A. Frissip was
probably fatally injured.
The last seen of the Messenger
on the train was at Red water,
which is fourteen miles from here.
When three miles this side of Red
water the porter went into the ex
press car for something and found
the messenger missing. He gave
the alarm and a search was at once
instituted.
The ear showed that there had
been a hard struggle. Everything
was in disorder, the safe was open
and there was blood on the floor
and walls of the car.
It was clearly evident that some
one had entered the car after it
left liedwater and after assaulting
the messenger and throwing him
from the train, rifled the car.
The train came on here and mes
sengers were sent by telephone to
Red water. A posse of officers
was hurriedly made up and left
for the scene of the robbery, while
another posse was organised and
prepared to start on a special
train.
A message was received from
lied water to the effect that the
messenger had been found, He
was lying by the track one mile
this side of Red water covered with
blood and with an ugly wound in
his head, which seemed to have
been made by some heavy instru
ment.

A SPECIAL COTTON TRAIN
Train of 25 Cars Loaded With Cotton
Left Newark Friday
The first train load of cotton
ever shipped out of Newark left
here Friday, the cotton being tak
en to the compress at Newport.
The special train came down
from Batesville Friday morning,
bringing nine cars of cotton from
that place. Two large crews of
hands were loading cotton on flat
cars from both the platforms here
when the train arrived just before
noon bringing more cars and more
men. The full force was then put
to work with a vim and when the
train pulled out, about night, it
presented a rather unique but
pleasing spectacle.
Sixteen flat cars were loaded
here, the bales being piled on too
of each other as high as it was safe
to stack them.
This was perhaps the most val
uable train of freight ever shipped
out over the White River road, its
value being something like sixty
thousand dollars.

IN MEHORY OF HOT HER
Dear mother we do not forget you,
Although we are sometimes gay;
The t!lout'llt of you always is with us.
He it dark night or sunshiny day.
Deep down in our hearts, dear mother
Hidden from mortal view,
There is a passionate longing
That none can relieve but you
But ’tis most in the quiet evening
When the toil of day is done
Our minds go back o’er weary months
And we count them one by one.
Since the time when you left us alone
And our hearts are tilled with pain
A passionate longing mother,
Jnst to see you once again.
Altho tlie years are lonely
For none can till your place
Hut oh! the joy and happiness
When we meet you face to face.
