THI ME? WORE NO M ASKS 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.

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.
