tiio noiu-up man was wearing a
whlto handkerchief around the lower
part of his fac ewhen ho entered the
place. Tho police officer, In plain
clothes, was standing just Inside the
door. Tho highwayman paid no at
tention to him, but walking up to
tho bar ordered the bartenders to
throw u ptheir hands. Before the
frightened men coull comply Pntrol-
I man Croxford. pulled bis revolver, and
as tho thug turned his head sngut
lv toward the officer tho latter fired
point blank, the bullet entering tne
thugs mouth ana peneiraicu mu

Tho revolver that the victim car

placed It outside oftho dying man's
reach.

scrap of paper or any marks on his

of identification.
BILL AWDERS0N WAS

Col. Bll Anderson, tho retired
Salem saloon man and capitaist,
celebrated his seventy-ninth birth
day on New Year's Day at his resi
dence on Court street. His wife,
who is a good deal younger, got up
a flno dinner. All the children,
grandchildren and one great grand
child were there, excepting what
Bill calls his long-legged girl. She
is visiting back in Illinois, slelgh
rlding over the snow-drifts, that in
many places are higher than the
stake and rider fences. Bill was a
New Year's present to the world nnd
tho smartest kid his mother' had.
Whon he was a baby there was a
complaint among children that
sometimes dampened tho bed
clothes,, but Bill was so enterprising
he always crawled up on tho pillow
to do whatever ho did In that line.
