less and reckless people. Along in 1883,
when Burrows was mere youth, he organ
ized band Of thieves. He was their cap
tain. They made whiskey and sold it to
the farmers up in his neighborhood. They
had spies out around the still, and when-
ever stranger appeared he had to give a
very clear account of himself. One or two
deputy marshals have been left over there
in their attempt to break up the gang.
Burrows, it is sRid tried cOunterfeiting
money, but was unsuccessful and gave it up.
His next escapade occurred near Pine Bluff,
Ark, three years ago. He, his brother,
Jim Burrows, and Nick Thornton, robbed
an express car Of $4,000. Jim Burrows
was captured, prosecuted in the Arkansas
courts and sentenced to the penitentiary
and Nick Thornton concealed themselves in
a little hut in the mountains near Vernon.
If they were suspected of being the robbers
no officer was ever brave enough to beard
these two desperadoes in their den. After a
while they came out from their fort and re-.
they were experts at the business. They
made money by their illegal work, and their
families and sweethearts lived in the height
Of mountain style.

A History Of One Of the Most Noted
Outlaws Of the
Country.
Caught by q Subterfuge and
Strapped to His Own
Horse.
Ing to Recover Money Taken
From Him.

DEMopoLrs, Ala, Oct. 12.-Rube Bur-
rows, the outlaw. who was captured in
South Marengo this week, and who was
killed after breaking Jail, was ono Of the
most noted criminals Of the age. At the
time or his capture Burrows was making
his way back to Lamar county with . lot Of
Detectives and deputy sheriffs behind him1
a rain storm coming up he stepped into q
house. John McDuffie, ]. G. Carter and
two colored men managed to enter the
house. Burrows had placed his rifle in I he
corner of the room, but had his revolvers
in his pocket. The colored men engaged
him in conversation and then grabbed him
BY the hands, preventing his shooting. Bur-
rows fought manfully until McDufie and
the others succeeded in conquering and
securely tieing the great desperado. Nc
Dame went to Linden Jail with Burrows
strapped hand and foot on his horse lying
across s-head on ono side and feet on the
other. The robbers position was very pain
e., but he was given no chance Of escape.
H had only $l7S on his person when Gap
tursd.
hOn reaching Linden, Burrows was hand
cQ6sd, his feet were tied, and he was placed
inathe sheriff's Office under guard Of Mo
Oufie and one of the colored men. The
other negro captor and Carter went to the
hotel with Burrows money. About 9
o'clock in the morning Burrows complained
of hunger, and upon one Of the guards re-
plying that they had nothing, Burrows re-
quested his saddlebags, saying he had
crackers in them. McDuffie handed him
the saddlebags without examining them
and Burrows drew out two pistols, covered
the negro and McDufae, forced them to
take off the handouts and unite him. He
then disarmed McDuffie and the negro and
asked for his money. Being told that Car
ter had it at the hotel he looked McDuffie
up and forced the negro to guide him to the
hotel, where, getting the drop on Carter,
Burrows demanded his money. Garter
sprang TO one side, drew pistol and fired
at Burrows, who blazed away at the same
instant. Carter's bullet struck Burrows in
the abdomen, and the noted outlaw fell
dead, Carter was badly wounded in the
shoulder, but will recover. 'sss hi
Rube Burrows life furnishes an exciting
piece of criminal history. He was born in
north Alabama about the beginning of the
war of the Rebellion and is about 20 years
old. His first crime was committed when
he was 10 years old. A companion and he
were out hunting one day when dispute
arose over some triflle and Burrows killed
him. There were no witnesses to the kill
ing, and. Burrows claimed that he did it in
9olf-d0fenC0 and WAS released.
