A Brassy Thief

A rather novel style of thief
was surprised plying his vocation
in the Cypremort country this last
week. He would arrive at the
headquarters of one of the large
sugar plantations and announce
himself as a Government Detective
and state that he was after some
bad characters which he had rea-
sons to suppose were in that imme-
date vicinity.
OF course with government
detective on the spot it was quite
natural for all to sleep sOundly
and pay no attention to Mr.. Detec-
tive should he be seen going about
at night.
At one Of these places he went
to the store aud bought few
candles. This led to the detective
being shadOwed. After dark he en-
tered the sugar house, when salts
fed that all was quiet and that he
was alone, he lighted his candle
and proceeded to the engine room.
Then he proceeded to arrest all
the brass oil cups, lubricators, ETC.,
which were easily detached. AS
he emerged from the building he
fell into the hands of the watcher
who took him and his booty in
charge.

A Masked Man Cows Expross Messengers
and Collars Cash.
An unknown white masked man
robbed a Southern Express company
car near Branchvllle, S. c., on the
Southern railway, the other night. The
train had just left the station when
Messengers Ramey and Rhodes were
covered with two revolyers held In the
hands Of the robber. One messenger
was made to stand with his hands over
his head and the other was commanded
to hand over the money packages from
the safe. Seventeen hundred dollars
were secured and the robber, after
warning the messengers not to put a
foot outside of the car until the train
had got under headway again, pulled
the bell cord and jumped off as the
train slowed up. The conductor saw
the robber escaping alongside the
track, but thinking him a tramp, Sig
nailed the engineer ahead. When the
train got under headway the messen'
gers came out and told their story. The
car was a combination baggage and
express car, and the door had been
opened to permit the conductor to
reach the baggage section, which was
on the forward end Of the car. 1t was
by reason of this fact that the robber
was enabled to enter the car, One
of the safes which escaped the robbers
notice contained $4,000.

would have to be attacked at close

AS speedily as possible Capt. Byrne
drew enough Of his men together to
make the attack. There were about 20
in the party. "They were gotten into
slllrmish order" says Capt, Byrne,
"and took the position of center skir-

All had now recovered their self-pos-

the village with our men still after
them. Then they became panic strick-

while our men poured deadly fire into
them at close range as long as they
were in sight,
Lieut. Nesbitt, who had witnessed
our predicament from the hill had
started with all haste for the village
and arrived shortly after the bandits
had disappeared in the woods, He
continued the pursuit 80 long as they
could be found, They had scattered
in every direction and quite number
were killed by his men. A notable in
cident Of the fight, and one Of great
Importance as affecting the peace and
quiet of this vicinity, was the killing
of the chief Of the band, TALL hand

He died as hard as he fought. When
pierced by two bullets through the
breast he fell from his horse, rolled,
plunged and scrambled over the ground
like a chicken when beheaded, OF all
the bandits killed did not see wound
ed man except in the struggle of death
on the field. They always got away
to die off the battlefield. They would
hop, scramble, roll or drag themselves
until picked up by some comrade, who
would run and carry another man with
