ASSOCIATED PRESS OPERATORS Mr. Bragg Arrives From Washington Fine Record of Wilmington Boy. On account of the illness of Mr. Os car R, Peterson, who was serving as relief operator for Mr. J. T. Runge, who is spending some weeks in Flor ida, Mr. C. M. Bragg, one of the South ern Division operators from Washing ton, D. C, arrived last evening to take the report for The Morning Star until Mr. Runge returns. During the first illness of Mr. Peterson and later pend ing the arrival of Mr. Bragg, the wire, which is admittedly the "fastest" com ing to the city, requiring the skill of only expert manipulators of the key, was most ably handled by Mr, Theo dora Kingsbury, of the telegraph de partment of the Atlantic Coast Line and one of the youngest operators in the iservice. Although his first expe rience Awith an. Associated Press wire, the "jonah" of all telegraphers without especial aptitude, Mr. Kingsbury cop ied the full report to the entire satis faction of everybody while still carry ing on his wor.k sit the railroad during the day. He could well have held the position permanently if physical en durance were equal to the double task. Mr. Bragg will have charge of the "trick" for some days. He is a fine operator and a clever gentleman whom the 'Star commends to the cour tesy and consideration of its friends. THE ASSOCIATED CHARITIES. Report of Treasurer for the Month of January 1909.

IViAklNG TOWARD WH1TEVILLE Sheriff -Knox Left For Columbus to Or ganise Another PosseRelieved ; Man of His Dinner Pail While -jBeing Pressed Yesterday. all odds the chaso of Walker, theJBriiiQSwick desperado who has suc cessfy eluded his pursuers for near ly aeek now through the fastness of CJreen swamp, was fiercer and clos er thai ever yesterday, though the ftfgitiT$: is still at large. Momentarily yesterday it was expected that news of hisa.pture would came, but up to late" jiir night no such good news had beenji'ceived at any of the points mached hv t.elenhnne. 5-.?X5f r LastMght at 10 o'clock Mr. J. W. Bro6k of this city, had a conversa tion rover long distance telephone with Mr. jr.H. Robinson at Lake Wjacca maWj,vpho came up from Southport yesterefcay and joined the posse at Bol-ton-.;?JiM". Robinson was one of the offi cersh who effected the arrest of Wal ker in'Jthe first instance when Sheriff Stanlaid was fatally shot last Novem ber;flJter said that about one hundred men were scattered in every direction over the country after an exciting chase all day during which it was im possibly for the bloodhounds to trail the fugitive for any considerable dis tauce .for the fact that Walker would batheChis feet in 'kerosene oil and spir its tufpentine to throw the animals off the scent. He was seen last at 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon half a mile, north of Lake Waccamaw, going in a Westerly direction toward White ville.and Sheriff Knox left last night for that place to ailist the co-operation' of :tbe Columbus sheriff in a;ii ef for to cut him off in that direction. ' Walber's chances of escape hye considerably increased since day night .when it was thought that he w4ectfvely - surrounded an Jessie island .vwith the probabilities that ha had been wounded when fired upon by Messrs. Maultsby and Applewhite who captured Will pudley, his accom-J plice. With the arrival of Jailer cnbark and the two Pender county bloodhounds who went out from Wil mington on the 5 o'clock Florence train, the posse started Walker about two mites from Bolton at 8:30 o'clock. He crossed over the railroad just above Mr. Brinkley's place and at that time, the officers thought they would overtake him within 30 minutes. At At 11:45 Walker was seen by a lady to enter a small branch a mile from Bolton and the posse was still in close pursuit. During his meanderings along and across the fallroad track, he met a laborer on his way to work and re lieved him of a dinner pail which he carried, appropriating the contents to a satisfaction of his hunger. The next report that came from the pursu ers was at 2 o'clock in the afternoon when ha was seen half a mile north of Lake Waccamaw. "The dogs were trailing him, but it was hard for them to follow for any considerable length of time on account of the precautions taken by the man. Nothing further was heard until the message came from Mr. Robinson last night, stating Ithat Sheriff Knox had gone tpWhite ville to enlist the co-operation of the Columbus sheriff. All trains are be ing watched as closely as possible and it was believed last night that the man was still in the country around Lake Waccamaw. hut being in the up lands instead of the swamps, he was making much better headway. At Bolton, Sehriff Knox found plenty of volunteers for the chasa iand there is no lack of men to round up the quarry. Will Dudley, who was brought to the city on an early train yesterday was taken to Southport yesterday morning and lodged in jail there. An immense crowd gathered at the boat to get a glimpse of him, not that any particular interest attached to the charge against him, but because of association with Walker. The following" was received on the early train this morning from Mr. Ed ward L. Clark ,who has been with the posse in search of the fugitive: "Lake Waccamaw, Feb. 5, 11:15 P. M. The dogs were put on the trail of Walker, the Brunswick county des peradd, early this morning at the point where he was fired on last night and after trailing through a three-mile swamp, the trail laid in the direction of Bolton. At this point he swiped a "McKlnley" dinner pail belonging to a Scipio Africanus and also asked tur pentine to go on a sore foot and after this the dogs lost the trail. A crew of a work train saw him in the Green swamp three miles east of Lake Wac camaw. He skirted through Wana nish and afterwards . struck the Lake beach and followed thie- through the village of Lake Waccamaw and from this point no reliable definite informa tion is obtainable,, "The White Marsh trestle near Whiteville and other means, of outlet with that point are closely guarded by members of the posse and here It is hoped his capture will be effected. Hope is by; no means given out and the sheriffs of bot$r counties are fully, determined to bring' him in. By thhV HELD ITS ANNUAL MEETING!
