Birmingham Age: Steve Renfroe, the notorious outlaw mid thief, who waa lynched nt Livingston lest liich <iay evening, boa a hixtoiy worthy the basin of a yellow-backed novel. He was born in the mountains of Georgia, where his father waa a high ly reapected citiz.cn, and one financial Jy well to-do. Very little can be oh eertained aa to his son's character, habits and disposition during hia boy hood, except that he wna foremost in nil boyish sports, and was always a good one in a fight. When alxmt twenty one years of age he married the daughter of a . j>row|M*roiiM fanner of north Georgia, who proved to lai a moat catimable little lady, and did much to restrain her husband's reckless disposition. In IMGH Steve arrived in Sumter i County, Ala., and lived for a good many months in almost hidden seclu j eion with nn uncle, an ex probate ' judge of Sumter. It. was reported, and circumstantial evidence was strong against him, that, lie was flee ing from justice in Georgia that ho I ha<l killed a man in his native section ' and was hiding to escape the clutches I of the law. “1 hliiill never.forgot the first time that I Haw him," ani<l the reporter'H inforniHiit. "It wm juat nb<nit tlneo tnontlis after he arrived nt Ins iiiii lo'h, and having he< n conflni d, for Hocrecy, he wan ns fair and delicate looking ns a girl. He wiih just about twenty three yearn old, mid wiik drcHsed in what 1 thought lit the time wns the prettieat Huit of clotheH I hnd ever •ecn—a homemade chei.k, hnmlHomo ly worked mid bound with ailk braid. He wan a hiindsume, tidy young fel low, and his delicate featurea, fair face *nd neat attire contrarted atrikingly with the tawny, coarnely dreaaed ex «oldiera of the dark diiya of the war. After be hud remained with hia uncle •wverul montliH, hia wife joined him, and they lived in Sumter, apparently happily until her death, which occur red m a ahort time after her arrival. Her renioiiui were interred in the burial ground of the Bnphat church of that place. Alaiut a year after the death of his wife lionfioc lieemuo iiimked in hia attentions to a daughter of Dr. Sledge, a higlily reapeetnble citizen of that county, and gniii'r her affection, mar ried her. They lived together five or aix yeura, at the end of which time ahe dim! and was buried in the Meth i odiat churchyard. A year or two atterwarda Renfroe hud her remaina removed mid placed beside those of hia that wife, in the Primitive Baptist cemetery, and erected a handsome iuarblu monument to the memory of the two.

Renfroe was always looked on aa a , litter in all kuklux or other deeper te or daring undertaking*, and there ino doubt as t<> his having had n rest amount of reckless courage ami ' aiug a quick mau on the trigger. In 1874. when the republicans camo nlo power in that county, lie was ai- I eated on tlie charge of the murder of • man named Billing*. and lay in | vriaou live months. He proved an dibi, however, and was discharged. He was elected sheriff in about the rear 18S0. develiqwd into quite a ■ Mihticisn. and it is said that ho aided Much toward relieving that county from republican domination. !

Ho was recaptured after a while, and jailed, but tried to break out again, and was taken to the Tus caloosa jail for safe keeping. Here he bored a holo through the floor of his cell and escaped through it. He ! was recaptured, tried for grand lar ceny and sent during last October, to Piatt mines for live years Ho re mained there five weeks and escaped by climbing the side of the shaft. Blood bound-, were put on his track, but lie put them off his track by wad ing in a creek for five or six miles. Near Eutaw he met a tramp and chummed with him ; but one day the tramp gave him away, and a large crowd of citizens came up with him and one hundred shots were tired nt him, but he dodged away in the swamps unhurt. A few days since a mule was stolen in Lauderdale county, Mississippi,and the next day three farmers saw a man riding on the lost mule. They de manded that lie yield to them but be resisted and attempted to shoot, wh< n one of his pursuers unhorsed him with a load of squirrel shot. When the latter was asked why he didn’t u. e buckshot, he replied: “That was a skeer gun; I was goin’ to git him next time with buckshot." Wlieii the Sumter county posse at tempted to handcuff Renfroe at En terprise he fought desperately and threw his captors from him as if they were so many children. Sat I, Sad Misfortune.
