two or three others, released him, mortal
ly %wounding his guard, one Dalbrugh, and
killing DIR. A. b. Pugh, who had stopped
to chat awhile with Bob. In less time
than 1t takes to tell It, the citizens were on
hand and with arms, for the rescue took
place early in the evening. Bob Sims got
away, but Bailey was killed. A rapid eX-
change of shots resulted in the death of u
negro and the wounding of several citi
Zens.
Jim Sims was the last to mount his
horse and get out of town, and as he rode
up to the others Neil Sims, installing him
for a pursuing citizen, fired and gave him
a fatal wound. This balanced the losses
not counting the negro-two white men
killed on each side. Jim, however, might
nave lived, but the citizens were SO enraged
that they took him into the woods and
hanged him. A mob had already warned
the Simsites to leave, and the whole sect
twenty-six families-joined in a mad flight
into Mississippi. In a few hours the daugh
ters OF Bob Sims drove In with an oxcart
and took the bodies of Jim and Bailey
home for burial, They next appealed to
Governor Jones, and he directed the county
officials to protect the Simsites in return
ing to their homes.
Take it all in all it's an extremely queer
case. Seven years ago a mob decided to
lynch Bob Sims in the belief that he was
circulating counterfeit money. and had
him under the proper tree, with the rope
around his neck, but they made the mis-
take of letting him talk first. In ten min
utes he had the whole crowd awed, II not
frightened. He said he was prepared to
die, but If hanged his spirit would haunt
every one of them, and he portrayed the
horrors OF the haunt with such moving
eloquence that the men who held the rope
dropped it and fled, and the others soon
followed. A few years ago Bob was a poor
man. Now he is rich, and his neighbors
think counterfeit money did it. His fam
lily does all the work on a little paper he
issues called 4he Veil Is Rent. Besides
the son who was killed he has four daugh
tiers, all smart and two OF them very pretty

Seeing tho Egress.

A new sorrow has been added to
childhood. 1t befell a party of Eng
lish children at a circus last summer.
They had seen the main performance,
and, like many children in all lands,
longed with great longing for a
glimpse of the side shows. BY dint of
coaxing nurse, and scrapeing together
all the small money of their pockets,
they were able at last to buy their way
beyond the goal of their ambition, the
entrance to the tent
In great Joy and bewiIderment they
rushed past the taker of tickets. What
to look at first--that was the question.
One beckoned in one direction, another
in the opposite, and complete demorali-
zation seemed probable, until child
who had been spelling out sign not
far away cried: @Come along-this way
II have it--best of all! and the troop
followed at his hurrying heels When
they collected themselves, and looked
about what was their dismay to find
themselves once more in the great cold
world, outside the tentl
The cause If their distress had been
the sign: "This Way to the Egressi"
Thinking he had found new animal,
something. perhaps. between a tigress,
and negress, presumably a female
eager, the little fellow had made q most
unhappy blunder.

A Bind Drummer. .

SThere is one of the best tobacco
drummers in the country, remarked a
gentleman the other afternoon as an
elderly looking man, with a long gray
beard, in company with a young
woman passed up Wyandotte street.
The gentleman walked arm in arm with
his companion, and no one would have
noticed anything peculiar about him
until he came to a crossing, and then
his companion spoke to him, his step
faltered, his foot was put out as if
afraid to advance, his eyes were turned
straight ahead, and never sought the
ground. They were sightless The
man was Mr.. James Harrison, of Rich
mond, Va, and the woman was his
daughter Mr.. Harrison travels for a
plug tobacco factory, and is regarded
as one Of the best drummers on the
road For more than 90 years he has
made the rounds with two daughters.
First one of them grew up from girl to
woman and was married. The second
one then took her place, and has since
been his constant companion. She
goes about with him from store to store,
helps him with his samples at the train
and the hotels, attends to tickets and
baggage-in short, does everything that
q tender loving woman could do for the
blind. She is his eyes The two are
known in every city in the country. -
