A Kind of Jack o. Lantern that Fani'hes
Upon Approaching Him.
Since the fire on the morning OF the
2Sth of May the town and surrounding
community have been very much e1-
cited in numerous expeditions Tor the
arrest of Tom Hill. Friday evening
it was reported that Tom was on the
eastern side of WinHsboro aud had
broken into one ior two houses OF
colored people, and stolen provisions.
One old colored man stated that ne
had taken skillet from his house. A
party of searchers set out Immediately,
and pursued cold trail far into the
night. The most tangible evidence
found that Tom had really been in the
aeighborhood was the finding of the
skillet. This expedition ended in a
failure
Saturday morning q colored man
named Emanuel Small came into town
and narrated that he knew Tom Hill
well having gone to school with him,
and that on that morning while ne
was working in a field about four
miles north Of Winnsboro. Tom came
into the field and without any cere-
mony began to fire upon him. Eman-
uel came to Winnsbero with gun
that from appearances might have
been used in the American ReVold-
ton, but he Immediately purchased
new me. He is a colored man OF
good reputation, and his manner in.
spirc confidence in his story which
was strengthened by his quick pur-
chase of a new gun. Another expe-
dition was organized forthwith, and
set out to the scene of TOMS supposed
appearance. Messages had been sent
to the State penitentiary for blood.
Lounds, and the dogs came up on
freight absut 10 o'clock Saturday
morning. When the party of pur-
suers got short distance out Of town
they were informed that Tom had
been seen still further north Of the
place where the Small man hid seen
him, and that he had eaten his break
fast at this point. The dogs, there
fore, !were taken to this point. The
crumbs of bread were found, but the
dogs failed to strike trail, whether
because the appearance of Tom was
myth or because the trail was too cold
is not known. This expedition came
to naaght.
Sunday night Bob Crosby came to
town with sensational story that he
run upon Tom Hill near White Oak
and fired at him three or four times.
A number of men rose from their
beds and again went out on chase.
The dogs were taken to The place
where Bob said that he had seen him.
Again the dogs refused to follow
trail. This expedition returned Mon.
day morning about 8 80, and like it's
predecessors was a fruitless under
taking.
Many people are beginning to doubt
whether Tom Hill is human being
or myth. He is often seen, but
vaniehes as vapor upon the approach
of an armed party ofpursuers.
Tom Hill is an escaped convict. A

Its very existence means imperial.
Ism. II is tax to support an army,

The people OF this country pay a

not all. This army must he supplied

it:
Last week the price Of canned corn

raises the price OF these goods To
every miner in the klondykc and
Cape Nome. or wherever clse such
canned provstions may be consum-
ed.
Thus the people may pay taxes to
