BulldOzed A Whole Town
Baud of Robbers Takes Possession
of Valley Springs, S. D., and
Robs Bank of $4,000
to $4,000.

Sioux Falls, S. D., September
12.-ValIey Springs, thirteen
miles east of Sioux Falls, was be-
tween 9 and 3 O'Clock this morn
ing, the scene of the operations
of regular Jesse James band of
robbers. Residents of the town
were aroused by number of eX.
plosions, and when they appeared
on the street TO ascertain the
cause, discovered that the town
was picketed by seven or eight
armed men, who drove the resi-
dents from the streets, threaten
ing death if they attempted to IN
terfere with the robbers. The
Minnehaha County Bank was the
object of the desperadoes, who
blew open the safe, which stood
outside the vault, and took be-
tween $S, 900 and $4,000. The
vault was not touched. During
the robbery one of the pickets
fired at citizen, but owing to a
shortage of firearms, the citizens
were compelled to keep IN the
background until the robbers had
completed their work and left
town.

1t appears now that South Car
olina will not be represented at
the Louisiana Purchase Exposi-
ton, which Will be held next year
IN St. Louis. At the conference
in Columbia on Thursday night
reports from the various counties
were not such as to warrant the
commission IN authorizing the ex-
penditurc of money for an exhib-
it. At the last session of the
General Assembly the exposition
project failed completely, al
though prominent citizens from
all sections of the State believed
it proper that some individual eff
fort should be made to have a
creditable display. According to
letters from members of the va
rious county delegations, the sem
timent has not changed, and there
is no reason to expect any help
from the Legislature at its next
session. Even if an appropria-
ton should be made not much
time would be left in which to ar
range for the display, and South
Carolina will have to be absent
from the picture. .-Greenville

TWO MANsLAYERs CONVICTED.

TWO MANsLAYERs CONVICTED.
Beaufort, Sept. 1.-The crim-
inal docket of the court of gener
al sessions was finished this even
ing. Solicitor James f. Davis
secured the following convictions:
Nat Benton, guilty of murder,
with a recommendation to mercy.
ibis is the young negro who shot
his wife near Ridgeland several
months ago. Notwithstanding
that his wife stated that she be-
lieved the shooting was accidental,
there was strong clrcumstantial
proof that he premeditated the
act because his wife demonstrated
with him about his attentions to
two other girls. The wife died
at the Georgia intirmary IN Sa-
vannah about week after being
wounded.
Andrew Porter, guilty of man
slaughter. This is the 17-year-
old boy who over two months ago
stabbed another negro, aged 90,
while both were at work in field.
1t was a quarrel in the presence
Of two girls, one of whom is sup
posed to have excited Jealous
rivalry between Porter and his
victim. Another young negro,
Richard Cuthbert, who was tried
as an accessory to the killing, was
found not guilty. His testimony
that Porter was first struck in the
face with a pan containing food
and then pursued with a knife,
probably saved Porter's neck.
