II. GLASC1CK, THE AUDRAIN
COUNTY SHERIFF..

The Vandalia (Audrain county,
Mo- Leader says that i'll the south
ern part of that county, along the
Galloway line, ''the killing Of jim
Berry by Sheriff GlascOck is being
used against Giascock III his auvas
for re-election." The Leader says
this is infamous" and It's language
seems justified. Whatever doubt
any of Berry's friends may hive ell
%tertained about his being one Of the
Union Pacific railroad ,robbers, ami
the very II whom the Audrain sher-
iii was in search Of, ought to be re-
moved by the dying statement Of
Sam Bass, the Texas outlaw, who
was Shot and killed at Round Rock,
in that state, on the 22i Of Ju!y.
Bass was the leader of The party that
robbed the Union Pacific train, and,
in his dying admission Of this fact,
he said:
'"Joel Collins, Bill Heifridge. Tom
Nixon, Jack Davis, Jim Berry and
me were in the Union Pa:Iiic rob

the time OF lie Union Pacific rob-
berry til he went 80 denton to 9ct

1873"
There is no douht now, and there
was lltyle, Ii amy, 1T the time Berry
was killed, that nc was One OF the
robbers. The task OF arreSting him
was one from which Sheriff GiascocE
might well naAe shrunk, if he wis
made of shrinking material, tor Der
rY was "a desperate ma'I, and Tic
sheriff took his life III his hand when
he went after him. Still he would
have saved him if he could. He did
not fire on the running outlaw Till ht
had ordered him twice to halt, aiio
even then he tired low 50 rs to Grip,
pie without killing him, and it was
because al the moment Berry STUN
