Armed With Winchesters Seven Rob
bers Take Possession cf Train and
Carry Off Express Safe !n Wagon.
No Clew to the Robbers.
Ih.i. '. hviUe, S. C., Jan. 28.—A care
fully planned and audacious express
lobbt ry took place last night on the
Smith-in railway when -the passenger
train from Charleston reached nearly
p i- , :-:act site of the successful rob-
1, ry of two years ago, near Fifty-
Eight station, 5 miles from Branch-
viile.
Seven men, or probably eight, were
riding on the platform between the en
gine and baggage car, concealed by the
darkness. None were masked. At the
53-mile board two men crawled over
the tender and covered the engineer,
John Reynolds, with Winchesters.
They fired two shots, one ball passing
through Reynolds’ cap. Fireman Cobh
g aped by jumping off. Conductor
Black, who ran out, was also covered
and ordered back.
By order of these men a brakeman
uncoupled the express, mail and bag-
cage cars, which were taken to Fifty-
Eight station, leaving the rest of the
train on the main line.
Here several shots were fired into
the express car, and one man climb
ing up covered Express Messenger
Hail with a Winchester, compelling
him to open tne door. Three men en
tered the car arid stripped the local
sale. After threatening Hall with in
stant death if he did not open the
through safe and finding he knew
nothing of the combination, the safe
was rolled out on the platform and
placed on a two-horse wagon, whicn
was driven away. Tnen the engineer
was ordered to return to the rest of
the train, and he obeyed, bringing the
train with no further incidents to
Branchville. Nothing was seen of the
men or the safe on passing Fifty-
Eight.
There was only a small amount of
booty in the local safe and no one
it -re knows the contents of the
through safe. No mail or baggage was
touched and no passenger was molest
ed. The robbers took the pistols from
the only employes who were armed
a: i resistance was out of the ques
tion.
The leader is supposed to be the
notorious Barton Warren. Warren
was arrested charged with having rob-
d the Southern Express car just be-
1 w Branchville in the fall of 1899.
lie was tried m 1901, and owing to
i'dwiar feeling in his favor and his
ai| ie counsel the case resulted in a
mistrial.

WOULD-BE ASSAILANT EAFFLED.
Jefferson Negro Attempts Criminal As-
^ sault Upon Yeung Girl.
Jefferson. Ga., Jan. 27.—Fred Oliver
a negro about 20 years old, is in jail'
here, charged with having attempted
a criminal assault upon a young ladv
or about 18 years and a member of
one of the most prominent families in
tins section.
The attempt was made Saturday
night at about 8 o'clock. The intend
ed victim, with her little sister, was
1 eturning home from the house of a
friend located just across the street
from her own home. When within a
very short distance of her door she
was approached by a negro man who
attempted to lay his hands upon her.
She screamed and broke away from
the negro’s grasp. He fell, but got
up and made a second attempt, his
grasp again being thrown off by the
girl, who then escaped to her home.
The negro was strongly under the in
fluence of drink and twice fell to the
gi ound during the scuffle that ensued.
He also had a revolver, which was
dropped in the mud.
The young lady, in the darkness,
could not make out the features of
her assailant well enough for the pur
pose of identification. As scon, how
ever, as the incident had become
known here all eyes were kept alert
foi* any negro whose actions might
tend to fasten suspicion upon him.
Oliver was noticed to pass the post-
office several times, and in the light it
was seen that his clothing was cov
ered in places with mud. The negro
was taken in custody by Marshal J. J.
Pettijohn. Upon being searched after
arrest a revolver was found concealed
upon the negro, the -weapon on one
side being covered with mud.
The nogro was taken to the scene
of the attempted assault and the re
volver placed in the imprint on the
ground where the revolver was seen to
drop by the yormg lady. Oliver’s weap
on fitted exactly into the impression
made in the ground.
The evidence in the case, while only
circumstantial, is believed to form an
indisputable chain to surround Oliver.
BLOODY RECORD OF CAR NO. 17.
Second Death Added to Its Career In
Savannah.
Savannah, Ga„ Jan. 27.—Charles
Williams, a negro employe of the
Southern cotton oil mills, was run over
and ground to death Saturday night
by car No. 17, of the Electric Railway
company.
Williams was riding a bicycle and
was within two blocks of his home. He
seemed to get confused and undertook
to pass in front of the car, which was
already slowing up to take on a pas
senger. Both rider and bicycle were
ground up together under the car in
an almost inextricable mass and en
tirely hidden from view.
The front of the car ran off the
track and the passengers thought a
simple derailment had occurred. The
car nad to be raised in order to extri
cate the mangled body and the frag
ments of the bicycle.
Car 17 is the one which jumped the
track at Barnard and Gaston streets
a few blocks below the scene of this
accident just a year ago, throwing Mo-

the pavement and killing him almost
instantly.

Jacksonville, Fla., Jan. 28.—At a late
hour Saturday night James Lee John
son, a negro, was seriously cut in ihe
throat at Parrish's free and easy,” at
the corner o? Bay and Davis streets,
by another negro.
Johnson has recently been employed
as a song and dance artist at a show
on East Bay street. He visited the
“free and easy” and accidentally step
ped upon Walter Hendricks’ foot,
which caused a row. Ella Green, a
negro woman, it is said, gave Hen
dricks a knife and he followed John
son up and cut him. The wounded
man pursued his assailant about half a
block, when he fell from exhaustion
and was picked up by some negroes
and carried to his room at the corner
of Davis and Ward streets. Hen
dricks, Ella Green and Harry Thomas
were all arrested as being implicated
in the affair, and were given a hearing
by Justice Willard Monday morning.
Thomas was discharged and Hen
dricks and. the woman were held with
out bail to await the result of John
son’s wound, which, it is believed, will
prove fata!.
Three serious cutting scrapes have
occurred at the same place where
Johnson was cut within the past
month.

LAST OF SOCIALIST COLONY.
Court Approves Receiver’s Final Re

Columbus, Ga.. Jan. 28.—The last
chapter in the history of the Christian
commonwealth, Muscogee’s socialistic
colony, was enacted yesterday when
Judge Butt, in the superior court, ap
proved the final report of Receiver
W. A. Ross and signed an order dis
missing him as receiver.
It was thought at first that all the
assets of the colony would be consum
ed in paying its debts and court costs,
but in the final winding up a few hun
dred dollars was left over, which was
distributed to the shareholders in the
enterprise. Each stockholder received
$15.11. In several cases stockholders
worked Lard out at the colony for sev
eral years, receiving but a bare living
and even this small surplus of $15
was unexpected.

Crush Was So Great for Admission
That It Required Combined Efforts
of Police Force to Keep Crowd Back.
Story of the Crime.
Harrisburg, Pa., Jan. 28.—Weston
M. Keiper and Henry Rowe were Hang
ed at 10:40 o’clock today in the Har
risburg jail yard in the presence of
*,000 persons for the murder of Chas.
W. Ryan. The crush for admission to
the jail was so great that it required
the combined efforts of the police force
and the sheriff’s deputies to keep the
crowd away from the entrance. Sev
eral of the jurors were forced to fight
their way through the crowd into the
prison.
Rowe and Keiper for several years
worked in and about the mines at
Lykens, Pa. On the morning of March
13 last they visited the Halifax Na
tional bank, of Halifax, this county,
and with drawn revolvers demanded of
Cashier Charles W. Ryan the cash in
the vault. They quickly gathered in
to a satchel the loose money in the
cash drawer, amounting to about $8,-
000. While one of them was fasten
ing the lid of the satchel he laid his
revolver on the cashier’s desk. Mr.
Ryan seized the weapon, and in a
desperate struggle which ensued the
cashier was shot in the breast, dying
several hours later. Rowe and Keiper
were captured by citizens. Within two
weeks they were tried and convicted cf
first degree murder. Frank R. Scholey,
an accomplice, pleaded guilty as an
accessory and was sentenced to 10
years in prison.

Alleged Notorious Diamond Thief Is
Returned to Texas.
Chattanooga, Jan 28.—J. J. Flinn,
who, it is asserted, is a notorious dia
mond thief wanted at Fort Worth,
Tex., was delivered to a Texas officer
today and taken to Fort Worth, Tex.,
to his victims. Flinn and wife op
erated together and were captured at
Knoxville a few days ago.
Flinn was brought here by strategy
to secure information of his wife. A
report was spread that Flinn had been
taken back to Texas to induce his
wife to come out of hiding, but he was
too wary.
Flinn and wife passed as palmist
and clairvoyant at Fort Worth, secur
ing many valuable diamonds from
wealthy people under pretense that
they would impart healing power to
them. They disappeared with the dia
monds.
