GREATEST OUTLAW
Ever In Highland County Recalled
by an Interview In WASH
ington Post.

The following interesting story of
Robert McKimmie, the greatest out
law that ever lived in this section is
recalled by the Washington ID. c.
Post of April II
81 haven't seen you for over twenty
FIVE years, but want to shake hands
with you, Seth Bullock, and hail you
as the best sleuth in the United
States, was the greeting that Judge
Robert T. Hough, of Ohio, formerly
Solicitor of Internal Revenue and now
a resident of Washington, extended
the famous ex-sheriff of Deadwood, as
the two met in the lobby of the Shore
ham Hotel, one night last week.
"And remember you well and am
glad to shake hands with as good a
lawyer as ever tried to Illustrate my
plans for getting a man who was bad
ly wanted" replied Bullock, as he ex-
changed friendly clasp with Judge
Hough. In speaking of their former
association the latter said to repor-
ter of the Post
Away back in the late seventies
Bullock, who was then a sheriff out in
the Black Hills, came to my home,
Hillsboro, o., in search of one of the
greatest criminals of that day. The
man he was after, Robert McKimmie,
alias Little Reddy, was born and had
grown up in Highland county, but had
migrated West and nobody knew what
he had been doing for some years prior
to his return to his native town, the
village of Rainsboro, ten miles from
Hillsboro.
Later it developed that Little
Reddy' had been one OF the boldest
and most successful of Western high
wayman. He was wanted not only for
robbinC stage coaches, but for MUIR
der. He had returned to his boyhood
home, a well-behaved man had mar
ried a nice girl, and was conducting a
prosperous country store when Bull
lock appeared on the scene with pa
pers calling for his arrest. The law
firm of Sloane Il HOugh was employed
by McKimmie and my partner and |
fought the issuance of requisition
The sentiment of the entire country
was with our client, for his old friends
knew nothing of his criminal career.
But, before the matter came to a
head, Little Reddy' broke jail, and in
escaping shot the father of the sher-
iff, but not fatally. Bullock then left
for his home, and the capture of the
young desperate was regarded as eX-
tremely improbable, for he had the
advantage of good start. Whatever
induced him to come back to High
land county was always a puzzle to
me, but after some months he did re-
turn, and, queerest of all, he came
back to once more resume his old bus
mess of robbery. After half dozen
hold.ups by an unknown bandit had
taken place, the entire rural popula-
tion turned out to run down the rob
Der, whose identity up to that time
was not suspected. Finally the posse
caught the outlaw and he proved to
be none other than Little Reddy.
He was tried and, on conviction, given
fifteen years in the State peniten-
tiary, and | believe died in prison."

Presidents Action in Enforcing Law
Aga3nst Them.
Northwestern Christian Advocate,
Sept. 20.].
In holding large corporations to
Hrict accountability to the law the
president is serving the best interests
If those corporations as well as con-
serving the welfare of the country. All
corporations which are operating on an
Unlawful basis should be compelIeC to
conform to the law. If they cannot or
sill not they should go out Of bust
ness This. some have been forced by
Tie laWless conduct of their promoters
and operators to Go, to the great loss
IF their stockholders. Many formerly
wealthy men are now broken in fort
une because corporations with which
they were connected were formed and
operated in violation OF law. The ac-
lion of the president in enforcing the
law would prevent, not promote, such
losses.
One Of the crying needs of Ameri-
"a today is such respect for the laws
of the nation as the president has
shown. He did not make the laws, but
it is his duty to obey them. He has
set an example which every citizen
should follow. If that be done, we
shall hear no more of mobs breaking
into jails. defying police and militia,
and hanging or burning prisoners sus-
pected or convicted of crime, and burn
ing property in a wild frenzy of disor-
der and laWleSSneSS.

RURAL FREE DELIVERY
philadelphia Press. ]

The experiment Of rural free delivery
was begun under Democratic admin
istration upon Democratic initative.-
Philadelphia Record.
What a cool and monumental whop-
per. Is it really lack of knowl-
edge or an opulence of campaign i'm
agination? AS a matter of fact Pres
ident Cleveland in his messages actual
ly opposed rural free delivery. Never
thelcSs. congress made small ap-
preparation of $4,000 to test the
feasibility of esta blishing a system of
free mail delivery in rural districts.
But Cleveland's postmaster general,
Mr. Bissell. refused to apply it or
make the attempt. The appropriation
was renewed, and Mr. Bissel's sue
cessor, Postmaster General William
L. Wilson. equally refused to use it.
1t was not until Pres! dent McKin-
ley's administra ton that any practical
attempt was made to organize rural
free delivery, and then the movement
was taken up SO thoroughly, efficient
ly and faithfully that while he was
president about 5000 rural delivery
routes We're established, and the sys-
tenn was created and made as perma-
nent a part Of the postal service as
free city delivery. There are now
more than 10000 routes in operation
and the whole work from the begin
ming has been done under Republican
administration. The Record must
have. got its information by way Of
Shanghai or Chefoo or Tom Tag

LAFOLLETTE is REGULAR.

The Supreme Court on We'd
nesday passed upon the question
of which of the repu blican tickets
in Wisconsin. was the legal one.
or to be more accurate it dis.
missed the case after holding
that the old state central com
mittee had the power to certify
which was the legal repu blican
ticket. This packed commit
tee has done, and the result is
that the LaFollette ticket will go
on the ballot in the regular re.
publican column.
Stalwarts, of course are dis
satisfied because there is not a
decision, as they claim they
wished, on the merits of the con-
troversy, LaFollette winning on
a technicality. AS a matter of
fact, though, to be strictly honest
about it, the stalwarts expected
to win upon technical grounds,
so there should not be any great
fault found, even though the
decision is technical. LaFollette
is the candidate on the state
republican ticket. How he came
to be such is long story, begin
mig at the stateconvention, when
his state central com mittee stole
delegates with the same high.
handed methods that stage coach
obbers employed in early days.
This same gang of highwaymen
met a few weeks ago and certified
the LaFollette ticket, and upon
he acts of these men, LaFollette
has finally become the regular
candidate.
How much better it would
have been all around if tie state
convention had met last summer,
and the delegates who were real
ly elected had been given their
seats. LaFollette would have
had, even at that, within a half
dozen votes of enough to nomin-
ate him. The Cook or Baensch
delegates would surely have had
to break, as both candidates we're
far below a possible nomination.
Then enough delegates would
have gone to LaFollette to have
nominated him, from the Cook
and Baensch columns, and the
matter would have been settled.
But instead of doing this the
most corrupt political committee
in Wisconsin, whole history
stole county after county until
an indignant lot of men felt that

In the bitterness of it's irony over the
unassaila BILE strength of President
Roosevelt's letter of acceptance. the
New York Times excfaims, she has

best thing upon every government oc-
casion. and with assured confidence he

real hot kind that comes from gnaw-
ing on file. But the question is not
whether President Roosevelt's course
has always been absolutely impecca-
BILE, but what different course could
the Democrats have pursued on these
government occasions that would not
have landed us in the fogs, fens and
mazes of national decentralization and
impotence?

Judge Parker is in training in earn

trip to New York to consult HILL Shee-

they were justified in boiling the
regularly called convention.
The whole thing is just this
way: The LaFollette highway
men on the central committee
turned burglars and stole their
own property. The supreme
court says that under section IS,
statutes of 1898, they had right
to carry out this theft.
So LaFollett's ticket becomes
the regular one.
On the other hand the stalwarts
had no better case to make, and
there was no better reason than
that held by the other side, why
they should become regular
True, they had proved their case
b efore the national convention,
but that did not satisfy the people
of Wisconsin who wanted a court
d ecision. Well they have the
court decision, and now it is up
to the men who said they would
''stand by the court" to do so.
THE TIMES said in the early
part of July:
"While numerous newspapers
are hosting their political flags
the policy of The TIMES may be
o f interest. This paper always
has and always will be reIubli-
can, and it is going to support
the ticket which the Supreme
court declares legal.
And The TINES always keeps
it's word with the public and with
it's readers. We never could
quite stomach Cook, who looked
to US little too much like a bowl
of skinned milk. He never was
the choice of any part of the
party for governor. One dark
night last summer ne went out
with a big horse pistol and stole
a few hundred delegates from
Judge Baensch. one OF the finest
gentlemen in Wisconsin. who had
been endorsed by republicans in
great many counties, and that
was the way he came to be at the
head of the stalwart ticket. He
has escaped being governor by
about ten thousand miles, which
is as close as he ought ever to
come to the job.
"Bob" LaFollette keeps peg
ging away, saving wood every
mo rn;ng, noon and night The
TIMES never has abused Goven-
or LaFollettee, although we have
b cen opposed to him, but have
always treated him honestly.
On the whole we have not object
ed much to many of his measures,
having even supported part of
them. Our objection has been
tn at he has sought to WELD the
entire party to carry out his
personal ambitions, that he has
trod rough-shedover everything
that came in his way, We have
not been for him for whole lot

sary to go intoat this time. Lots

Toilette and are doing so today.
but aside from this practically
every sinister politician in the
state has been hollering his re-
forms. A great many Of these
are holding appointments under
LaFollette; we have them in Bay
