Two OF His Friends, Who Surrender With
Him, Meet q Like Fate.
bob" Sims, the Alabama outlaw, who has
been besieged for q day or two in his home by
Sheriff Gavin and posse, as narrated in The
STAR last week, finally on Friday began a par
ley with that officer. He had heard that a
cannon had been sent for, and rather than
have the women Of his family blown to pieces
in their stronghold, he offered to surrender
All he asked for was that the posse should do
him no harm and that they should protect him
and those with him from mob violence
After long debate the officers agreed to the
terms OF surrender and promised to take Sims
and his party under guard to the county Jail at
Eutler. The Simsites laid down their arms and
came out of the house. There were only two
men and boy, Bob Sims, Thomas Savage and
young Savage. the nephew Of Sims, with four
women, Bob's wife and three daughters.
The procession started for Butler. the county
seat OF Choctaw county, Ala. Sheriff Gavin
commanded silence, fearing that should any
discussion be raised his men might become
angry and kill their prisoners
The road to Butler is very rough and billy
and is boraeTed on either side by thick under
growth. While the party were travelling over
this route that night a mob of determined
Choctaw county men, concealed in the bushes
surprised and Overpowered the posse and took
their prisoners from them. Bob Sims Tom
Savage AMI young Savage were hurried into
tho woods and were soon dangling from the
branches of trees.
John Savage. who was arrested the day be-
fore Christmas on a charge of being a member
OF the Sims gang, was hanged to u tree at 10
clock the same night.

The Inmates Almost Unmanageable, but All
Rescued.
Fire broke out in the north wing of the East
ern Michigan Insane Asylum at Pontiac. Mich.
on Saturday morning. The flames spread with
great rapidity and with the limited facilities at
hand tho firemen were powerless.
Fifteen minutes after the first alarm was
sounded the 500 women occupying the wing
we're turned loose. Screaming with terror they
rushed through the corridors, where the air
was already filled with smoke.
Some ran like wild animals. trampling the
slower ones in their mad efforts to escape.
Others we're paraiyzed with fright and stood
rooted to the spot, with eyes staring into the
roaring fire.
The attendants devoted themselves hero
ically to their rescue, and it is stated that all
got safely out, though some bystanders as
sert that they saw several women at the win
dows after all the patients were supposed to be
out
Nearly seven hundred men were confined in
the south wing, but the flames were checked
before this part was reached. The scenes here
while the flames were at their fercest were
frightful.
Some few Of the inmates were terror stricken,
but the most of them seemed to be filed with a
wild ecstasy and emitted shricks Of horrible
laughter.

A Florida Negro Shoots a Railway Conductor
for Ordering Him From the White Car.
Nearly LOCO armed men in Lake county Fla,
are securing the woods between the Florida
Central and Peninsula railroad track and the
shores OF Lake Haine in search of a fugitive
colored murderer, and about as many colored
men with Winchester rifles are scattered about
Leesburg and suburbs proclaiming that they
will protect him from lynching if brought
there.
Just before daylight Yesterday morning J. E.
Parramore, well-known conductor on the
Florida Central and Peninsula railroad was
shot and instantly killed while on his train by
'Ihomas Z. Mike, a colored man, who keeps q
barber shop for colored customers in Leesburg
Fla. Mike got on the train with ticket for
Orlando and took seat in the white passen-
gers coach. When Conductor Parramore came
through the car to take up the tickets and col
iect fares he approached Mike asked him for
his ticket, took it, and then politely requested
him to 60 into the colored car. Mike was surly
and refused, growing out some insulting lam
guage half under his breath. Then the con-
ductor ordered him out peremptorily and Mike
obeyed.
Five minutes later Parramore entered the
colored coach, and when he was about five feet
In front OF Mikes seat the colored man sud-

farramores head just behind the right ear,
and he fell forward in the aisle dead. Mike
rushed to the platform, jumped from the train
and disappeared in the woods.

LIKE THE TICHBORNE CASE.
An English Woman Claims q Widows Sha,

An English Woman Claims q Widows Share
of a Big Kansas Estate.
This county has a case which, in its way, is
as remarkable as that Of the famous Tchborne
claim in England, and which proceeds on al
most identical lines, says New York World
special from Abilene. Kan. Unlike tho Itch
borne case, however, the claimant is q woman
an English woman-and she has begun pro-
ceedings to secure possession Of ono Of the
richest estates OF Dickinson county. OF her
personality little is known.
About thirty-dve years ago James A. Gillett
came from England to Dickinson county, Kan,
a comparatively poor man. He settled on one
of the richest quarter sections in that part of
Kansas. He was quiet, business-like and
genteInaniy, making many friends and few
enemies. He pcos2ered on his claim and
steadily added moro acres to it, Until he had
one OF the richest farnls in the county. few
years after he came there he married, and a
family of sons aud daughters grew up around
him. The town of Woodhine was started on
the farm and the Rock Island built through
tho place. Mills. school houses and business
enterprises spranS up and Mr. Gilictt became
the most prominent citizen in that part OF the
country. Eighteen months ago he died hon.
ored by all and respected IS one OF the most
earnest members OF the community and
church.
The estate was kept together b. the widow
and children. What was their surprise few
weeks ago to have notice served on them by a
woman OF Plymouth. England, calling herself
Mrs Gillett that through her attorneys she
had commenced suit for n widows share OF
the estate; that She WAS the lawful wife of
James A. Gillett, and that one daughter had
been born to them, who was also party to the
suit. She asserted that she was married to
MIR. Gillest before he left England and that
he lad promised to send for her when he be-
came established in America; that he had from
time to time sent her money. but never allowed
her to come to his side. and that only recently
had she come to the knowledge of his financial
circumstances and death.
The case has caused great surprise and much
gossip in central Kansas. where the gentleman
and his family are SO wei. known. When the
case came up in the district court Judge Mich

sKILLFUL MAIL ROBBERY.
A Registered Pouch Stolen From a Locked
Wagon Without IniurinK the Lock.

"A Registered Pouch Stolen From a Locked
Wagon Without Injuring the Lock.
remarkably skillful theft of q pouch Of
registered mail matter was recently made on q
ferry boat between Jersey City and New York.
The bag contained all the registered Christ
mas matter mailed last Thursday from all the
Offices from Elmira through the Lehigh valley
to Jersey City.
ut makes me SILVER when think of what
the grand total will be-" one of the officials
said.
II. d. Hubbard is the clerk who had the Gus
tody of the bag when it disappeared.
When he reached Jersey City he had two bags
filled. He took these two bags and pu: them
in larger leather bag, especially provided for
registered matter. At Jersey City the mail was
loaded upon truck. The bag with the regis
tered mail was the last to leave the postal car
and was put on top of the other bags by Hub
bard himself. The truck, guarded by Hub
bard, was then run upon the lift by means
OF which baggage is got down to the level Of
the ferry and the street. At the bottom OF the
| elevator the driver was in waiting with big
covered mail wagon. Clerk Hubbard took off
the bag OF registered matter. which he kept in
his possession until all the other mail bags had
been thrown into the covered wagon. When
this was done Hubbard put the bag Of regis
tered mail in the wagon himself This is Gus
tomary: 1t is done to keep the registered mat
ter In the hands of the postal clerk as long as
possible. When the wagon reaches it's destina-
ton the registered bag is the first TO be taken
out.
After Hubbard had thrown the bag of regis
tered mail into the wagon he closed the door
and the driver adjusted the lock. He then
climbed up on his wagon and drove aboard the
ferry boat. Clerk Hubbard followed behind the
wagon.
After he had got on the ferry boat. however.
he did no. keep up his watch. He walked
about the boat until she ran into her slip at
Cortland street. Then he got up beside the
driver and rode to the post Office. A. the post
office the driver unlocked the wagon and Clerk
Hubbard reached for the bag of registered
mail 1t was not there.
The lock had not been tempered with, ap-
parently, and the disappearance of the bag was
a mysfery
