Hattlesburg, Miss., May 15.?A rich haul, variously estimated at from $35,000 to $200,000, was made by two masked bandits who early this morn ing held up the Queen & Crescent New York limited train No. 2 near Okahola, a flag station eight miles south of Hattlesburg, and blew open the safe of the Southern Express car. Erpreas officials tonight deny that the sum obtained aggregated any thing like the latter figure, but de clined to make any estimate of the loss. The bandits who are believed to be the pair who held up the Mo bile & Ohio train at Corinth, Miss., in February, made their escape and tonight were still at large. When Sheriff Bennett of Perry county reached the scene of the hold up with bloodhounds, about dawn, the trail of the robbers was taken up by the dogs. This led them to the junction of the New Orleans & Northeastern railroad and a tap line road, where the trail was lost. It Is believed the men boarded a freight train at this junction. Four men are reported to have been seen leav ing the freight train when It arriv ed at Hattlesburg a few hours after the holdup, but the authorities here have been unable to locate the sus pected quartette. The safe in the exprss car was locked with a time signal lock when the train left New Orleans lnst night and there was a guard in the car In addition to the regular messenger. It is said there was one package of money representing-the pay roll of] the Alabama & Vicksburg railroad at Meridian and about twenty five pack ages of money representing the re mittances of agents of the express company at points along the Vicks burg, Shreveport & Pacific railroad. In addition to these there were two or more sacks of silver, containing one thousand dollars each, other packages of currency and several packages of jewelry, valuable stock certificates and bonds. Tho holdup of the train was ef fected in a true wild west manner, but, notwithstanding a generou? flourishing of weapons, not a shot was fired. The passengers were not molested. When the train was passing the flag station, Okahola, the two mask ed bandits climbed over the tender and with drawn revolvers, called out to engineer Maher and his fireman, "Obey orders." The engineer im mediately threw on his brakes, saying "I'll stop right now." "No," said one of the bandits, "pull on around the curve and stop when I tell you to stop." After the train had turned the curve above Okahola, the engineer was given the command to stop and complied promptly. With guns pointed at their heads the engineer and fireman were marched back to the baggage car and the former was ordered to call the express messenger. When Messenger] D. A. Gray, of Chattanooga, stepped in the door of his car, he looked Into the muzzle of a pistol and did not hesitate to obey the order to get down. Other trainmen were prbmpbjy lined up alongside the train and leaving them !n charge of his part ner, the commanding bandit jumped Into the expie8s cav and at once be gan work on the large through safe. After applying a charge of nitrogly cerine he got down and awaited the explosion. It was ineffective and successively five other charges of the high explosive were set off before he accomplishd his purpose. The sixth charge hlew off the safe door and scattered silver coin and packages of currency and other valuables In ev ery direction. Except about three hundred dol lars In silver, everything (In sight was hurriedly placed In a sack and the two men backed off Into th< darkness with their revolvers levelled at the heads of the train crew. Af ter walking backwards for about 100 yards the men dashed off and are believed to have fled on heir sen which had been left in charge of third robber. When the train reached here at o'clock a. m,, Express Agent "Rosseau and Night Clerk Parker made an In spection of the express car. They] picked ??p from the floor of tho car] about three hundred silver dollars. They also found in the safe about] $700 in currency. Help* a Jndge la Bad Fix. Justice Ell Cherry, of G?ll?

BLEASE NOMINEES LOSE IN COUKI Supreme Court Decides Agnlnsl the Beaufort Township Commissioners, Around Which u Warm Battle Iihs Raged* Columbia, S. C, May 14.?Holding that the defendants are guilty of usurping and intruding into, and are unlawfully holding the exercising the duties of oltice, the supreme court In a decision today by Associate Justice Watts and concurred in by the entire court ousted the appointees of the governor In Beaufort county as town ship commissioners." "It is the judgment of thlB court that the defendants be excluded from said ofllceB and that the plaintiffs re cover costs In each case against the defendants", says the decision of the court. The opinion concludes thus: "It is therefore adjudged that the defendants against whom these actions are brought and are still before the court are guilty of usurping and in truding into and are unlawfully hold ing and exercising the duties of the ofllce of township commissioners in Beaufort county, and it is the judg ment of thla court that the defendants be excluded from said offices and that the plaintiff recover costs in each case against the defendants." The opinion is by Associate Justice Watts and is concurred in by the en tire court. The action was brought by Attorney General Lyon, representing the state of South Carolina, to oust C. A. Ver dler, J. R. Cooler, W. W. Hudson. A. J. Alexander, W. II. Stalworth, B. C. Rolneau, J. W. Campbell, R. Josselson, C. A. Walker, R. A. Coburn, and S. S. Kellars, as township commissioners who were appointed by the governor without regard for the recommenda tion of the Reaufort county delegation. "The demurrer to the return," says the supreme court, "is on the ground it fails to state facts sufficient to con stitute a defense and that It falls to show why defendants should not be ousted from office, In that It falls to allege that any of defendants were appointed by the governor, either In 1911 or 1912, upon the recommendation of the senator and members of the house of representatives of Reaufort county. On the trial of the cases an order was passed dismissing the com plant as to B. JosselBon. The demur rer Interposed by the defendants to the plaintiff's complaint are overruled, and the demurrer interposed by the plain tiff to the answer nnd returns of the defendants must be sustained. These cases are controlled by decisions of this court in Ellege vs. Wharton (Ad vance sheets) 89 S. C. 113 and Golden vs. Wharton (Advance sheets) 90 S. C. 335. The court holds that there Is a striking similarity between the case providing for township commissioners In eBaufort county and rural police men In Greenwood county.
