"EPIDEMIC" OF ROBBERIES

FOUR PLACES BURGLARIZED IN CITY THIS MONTH. Superintendent Bailey . Thinks That With One Exception It Was Local Talent. Throughout the winter there has been an "epidemic' of burglaries' in Richmond, and despite all efforts on the part of the police, non of the culprits have yet been apprehended, except in one case, Ed Wilson, who robbed the Red Saloon. Since the first of the month there have been four burglaries reported to the police." One at the' home" of C. L. Colby, 315 North Nineteenth street one at the home of W. H. Ward, 20 North Twenty-first street, one at the Louck and Hill Shop and one ThurSr day night at the home of John Darnell, 218 South Tenth street. V Superintendent Bailey last evening stated that he was of the opinion that nearly all of these burglaries were committed by home " talent.' ' However, he thinks that the men who broke into the home of John Darnell were professionals from Dayton. PARKER CASE TO OPEN THURSDAY WOMAN ASKS ' BIG DAMAGES FROM DAYTON AND WESTERN COMPANY. STRUCK BY INTERURBAII GAR Plaintiff Claims Her Spine Was Injured And She Has Since Been a Cripple. The case of Mrs. Stella Parker versus the -Dayton and Western Traction Company for $20,000 damages will be opened Thursday of this week in the circuit court. Seldom has there been a damage suit tried in the Wayne' circuit court, where such large damages have been asked and for that reason the case will attract unusual attention.

The defendant will be represented by Robbins and Starr. In her complaint Mrs. Parker al leges that on July 24, 1904, she and her husband were driving in a phaeton en route from their home in Elwood, Ind., to West Alexandria, O.

THE MOKSINO PALLADIUM

MEXICAN PARTY RETURNS HOME RICHMOND MEN HAD A PLEASANT TIME WHILE IN SOUTHLAND. THEY SUBSCRIBED FOR STOCK All Members of the Party Speak In Glowing Terms of Orient RailWay. The party of Richmond business men who went to Mexico on an inpection tour of the Kansas City,Mexico and Orient Railway, arrived home yesterday morning after an absence of two weeks. The trip was a success in every way and the members of the party, "Mexican Pilgrims," as they were termed, were royally treated while in the South. Over 6,220 miles were covered by rail, on various railroads and short lines, and every opportunity was given to the passengers to enjoy the scenery of the country. As an advertiing scheme the trip given by the officials of the new road in the south-west is about the best idea that has yet been advanced. Early in the month, a special train, composed of the finest Pullman cars and diners, with an observation coach, left Kansas City. There were about eighty business men, from several different states in the party. Railroad presidents, merchants, manu facturers, bankers, attorneys and newspaper men were guests of the road, and all were given the best of entertainment during their extensive trip. The party visited the City of Mexico where they were received by the President of the Republic. The tiip then took them across the counto the Pacific shore and from there to El Paso, Texas. Several large mining camps, owned by the railroad, were also visited. The new railroad opens up thousands of square miles of cattle and mining teritory that have never before had the advantages afforded by railroad facilities and already the new road is doing a large freight business. - The trip was a success for the promotors of the road and large blocks of stock, as well as many bonds, were subscribed by the business men. It is understood that the Richmond party is also financially interested in the railroad, which is considered an excellent property. Those who went on the trip from here were P. W. Smith Geo. L. Cates, Newton Jenkins, Howard Campbell and L. M. Jones. Mr. Campbell and Mr. Jones came home Friday on account of illness. STOLE A HORSE BLANKET HARRY HELMS ARRESTED FOR THEFT AT CAMBRIDGE.
