YEGGMAIN BARTON NOW UNDER ARREST Safe [{lower Has Beert Positively Identified Bj Govorment Oi'llccr from Atlanta. Gcorgo Barton. safe blower-yegg, man, whom John Sampson now in the Duval county jail, declares was With him tho night an attempt was mado to blow a safe In a w< st Bay Street saloon, this oily, has beet) raptured in Birmingham, Ala. Tin HOWS of his arrest in the Alabama city was made authentic a. dispatch sent over thy Associated Prcsu wire:; Tut day night. About three weeks ago .lohn Samp Bon, U confess* il safe blower, was arrested by Policeman Charles Am nions, who caught him in the act of attempting to blow a safe in Burnett's saloon in West Hay street. At first Sampson refused to tell tho name of his pal, but after being un der arrest for a day he confessed to the local detectives that George Bar ton, a well known yeggnian, was with him at the time. Barton succeeded in making good his escape and although the local authorities were on the lookout for him and the authorities throughout the State tried to capture him, he succeeded in making his way to Alabama, bis old home. After remaining in jail several days, Samp son stated that he and Barton had done several Jobs together and had planned to meet in Alabama, provided it became necessary for them to separ ate tit any time. The fact that Bar ton was captured in Alabama makes good the statement made by Sampson. Barton was arrested .Monday after noon in Birmingham and at the time of ins arrest he was sm peeled of be ing the man wanted for safe blowing. Tuesday a postofhce inspector from Atlanta visited Birmingham and pos itively identified the man under ar rest as George Barton. The follow ing clipping from the Birmingham Age-Herald of Tuesday morning tells of the capture of Barton. This arti cle was published before the man had been identified as George Barton: "A man believed to he George Bar ion, who is wanted by the goverment authorities, was arrested yesterday afternoon by Police B?rge and Da vidson. The officers state that the man now under arrest fills the de scription of the man wanted by the United States authorities to a nicety and they believe that they have the right man. "Barton is a fugitive from justice, having escaped from the peni^entl. ary in Georgia some years ago. He had served only a short portion of a sentence of eighteen years for rob bing the postoffice at Carton, Ga. and lie Is also wanted for robbing a bank in Sharon. Ott, "The circular informing the police if Barton's escape describes him as being about 2$ years old, and states lhat he is a professional safe blower and burglar. "If the two Birmingham officers have the right man they have made a big catch. From all that can be learned Barton i.- a famous safe blow er and his operations before being first captured were quite extensive. "Night before last the safe in the postofhce at Cuthbert. Ca.. was blown open and about $1,000 in funds and stamps were stolen. The police suspect that Barton may have had to do with this piece of work. "The man captured here has been placed in the city jail under close guard and the United states authorit ies at Washington have been notified of his apprehension.?Jacksonville Time-Union.

But the lady was very devoted to ChUrCh work and Worried herself Into hysteria because She could not attend' services and hear her favorite pastor preach. "She must not leave the house." warned the doctor, "bat you can easily arrange to have her hear the sermon by telephone."

"1 must know whether you have upper or low er birth." "I'pper of course." said the German. "Look at my passport; does it not say "well and highly born ?" Very Much So. "That girl is a peach!" enthusiastic ally remarked a spectator. "Yes." said another, "and she is the apple of her father's eye." "She and young Binks would make a fine pair," suggested a third. "But," objected another in the group, "a fellow like Binks would find her something of a lemon in the garden of love." The cynical bystander who had been listening butted in at this point. "1 don't know the young woman." he said, slowly, "but she seems to be ry fruitful In her resources." $100 Howard, $100.
