YOUNG LADY DIES
NEAR WINTERS.
C. R. Crews. undertaker for
the Higginbotham, Currie, Wil-

of T. J. Cothern, who lives seven
miles north of Winters, Saturday
to embalm the body of Miss Mag-

The father of the young lady
was traveling through the coun-

became such that it was necessary
to stop at Mr. Cothern’s home,
where the young lady died.
The remains were carried to

place to Florence for burial.

WAR DRIVES CROOKS
TO OHITEO STATES
NEW YORK, Oct. ]:*.—'The
war has made New York the
biggest international crook eeu-
tei ’ in the world, authorities de-
clare. Every city in the country
likewise has its increased quota
of crooks of all kinds, driven from
Europe.
It seems to be the women who
are suffering most from the
straight burglaries- To date this
year the toll of the Snout-Aud-
Jowl and Crafty-Debonair bri-
gades in Gotham alone totals near
ly half a mission dollars in gems
and cash. Practically all the big
robberies have been from wealthy
women’s homes
While Mrs. Elizabeth Nichols
sat in the drawing room of her
brooklyn residence a thief enter-
ed, frightened Mrs. Nichols, so
she died, then walked out with
$16,500 worth of jewelry.
Inspector Joseph A. Fan rot, j
Chief of the New York Deetee-
tive bureau, has issued a lengthy
warning to tin* women of the
country on how to pi.duel their
bonu s from burglars, hundreds of
whom have come from Europe
with their more subtle brother's
and sisters who travel frist cabin.
There are three mouths left
for the crooks to make a 101.") in-
ternational record here and they
promise to do it.
Driven from their lucrative
•Hid accustomed haunts at Monte
Carlo, London, Paris, Berlin and
like famed continental resorts,
the crooks have swooped down
and settled upon New York as
the locust plague once swept the
Kansas prairies.
They re a clever crew, for the
most part; barring the interna-
tional strong-arm man and sec-
ond-story worker, who is just a
prosperous low-brow. It's the
educated, crafty shrewd men and
women crook s — white-collar
scoundrels, who are driving the
New York detectives plumb dis-
tracted
Since January, fiften “big
jobs" of $3000 or over, have been
successfully put over by what is
believed to be an organized band
of clever criminals aided, maybe,
by sevrants in wealthy house-
holds.
Proceeds from the fifteen hauls
total nearly $350,000. and there
have been hundreds of robberies
ranging from $1<><i to $2,”>00.
Some ot the heaviest losers are

slimmer house at Southampton,
L I., was robbed of $70,000 in

indictment against Simon Brown
Tuesday afternoon charging the
negro with violating the local op-
tion law- The officers read the
indictment to the negro as soon
as same could he prepared by the
prosecuting attorney and the case
will be called for trial on Friday
or Saturday of this week.
This negro was arrested sever-
al days ago, having been caught
by the officers while selling whis-
key. He has been confined in jail
here to await the action ot the
grand jury
If the negro is sent to the pen
it will be the first conviction in
this county for bootlegging, while
