OPERATING on TIE TRAINS
TO AND FROM COLUMBIA.
Maicr Scale Touched for One Hun
dred and Ninety-fivc Dollars.
Thief Captured and Now
in Jail.

From the Daily Item October 25.
The crowded condition Of the trains
now running into Columbia with their
hundreds of passengers carrying
pockets full of money to spend at the
State Fair, is too great temptation
to be resisted by the light-fngered
gentry, who ply their trade SO effect
lively in large and crowded gather
ings. Some of them are so eager for
their prey that they cannot restrain
themselves long enough for their
unvary victims to reach Columbia,
and they are now successfully oper-
ating on the trains running into Co
lumbia. The supposition is that they
leave the STATE capital on the early
morning train and return on the spe-
cial that leaves Sumter at 9:2O in the
morning.
County Supervisor Scale always goes
to the State Fair and he was at the
depot this morning preparing to leave
with a comforta BILE roll Of S190 IN his
hip pocket. 4 trio Of pickpockets had
him spotted. and as he endeavored to
board the train there was a man Oh
the rear platform of the last coach
pretending that he desired to diseCo-
bark, while there were two more men
behind Major Scale pushing up
against him in an apparent eagerness
to get on the train. There was thc
Major between the three of them, un-
able to go either forward or back
ward. One man behind him kept
constantly pushing so close to him
that he turned around several times
to advise him that there was plenty
of time to board the train and that
there was no necessity for crowding
him. Having been forced to speak
several times to the man, he took
special notice Of him.
Major Scale finally got into the
train and proceeded at once TO find |
a vacant seat After he had reached !
the last coach he felt for his moneC
and discovered that it was gone.
He lost not time in leaving the train
and Immediately looked up Officer
Weeks, who was on duty at the depot.
Together they went in search of the
man whom Mr.. Scale remembered as
the one who crowded against him
while trying to embark and when the
man saw them approaching togeth- |

pairing broth. and they insisted that the
two latter delicacies be fed to the pa
tient at once. They were still in lg-
norance of the truth about the Cross
roads and spent the day Gt was Sun
day. partly in getting in the way OF
the attendants and partly In planning
an assault upon the Rouen jail for the
purpose Of lynching Slattery in case
Harkless' condition did not improve at
once. Those who had heard his state
ment kept close mouths until the story
appeared in full in the Rouen papers on
Monday morning. But by that time
every member of the Crossroads White
Caps was lodged in the Rouen Jail with
Slattery. Horner and a heavily armed
posse rode over to the muddy corners
on Sunday night, and the sheriff dis
covered that he might have taken the
Skilletts and Johnsons single handed
and unarmed. Their lerve was gone.
They were shaken and afraid, and, to
employ figure somewhat inapproprl-
ate to their sullen. glad surrender. they
fell upon his neck in their relief at
finding the law touching them. They
had no wish to hear John Browns

er he ran to escape; but. Major Scale
was too fleet of: foot for him, and his
neck was soon lin the tight grip oz
Major Scales hand;
Major told him that he had his
money, and that he could never
leave Sumter without it, and about
that time gentleman rushed up and
said, Eyes, hold him, saw him when
he put his hand. into your pocket"
Seeing that he was trapped, the
pickpocket said that he did not have
the money, and asked for time to look
up the. man who did, but his efforts
to secure time We're futile. He then
offered to pay Major Scale the amount
Of his loss, and asked to be conducted
to a private place.
He then took from his clothing a,
roll Of $40 in bills, which Major
Scale refused to accept in payment Of
his loss. He finally pulled two s100
bills and turned them over
The Major then released him, but
he was Immediately nabbed by Officer
Weeks who escorted him to Jail toy

Major Scale said that he woulG

He shivered. His name was SPOKEN
from within. and Horner came out son
the steps with the two: eminent sur,
geons.. and the latter favored him with
a few words which he did not under
stand. he did understand however,
what Horner told him. Somehow the
look of the sherif's Sunday coat. wrln-
King forlornly from his broad, bent
shoulders, was both touching and SOL
emn. He said simply: "He's conscious
and not out of his head. They're gone
in to git his antemortem statement"
And they re-entered the ward.
Harkless' eyes were bandaged. The
lawyer was speaking to him. and as
.Horner went awkwardly toward. the
cot Warren said something indicative

as possible. And those whom Harkless
had not recognized made no delay in
giving themselves up They did not

others needed the care Of a physician
badly. and one man was suffering
from a severely wrenched back. Hor-,
ner had train stopped at crossing
so that his prisoners need not be taken
through Plattvi!;e, and he brought
them all safely 10 Rouen.
1t took nearly week to persuade the
people Of Plattville that it was better
for them to go home. and it was only.
the confidence inspired by the manner
Of the two eminent surgeons (they lay
in wait at all hours to. interview these
gentlemen) that did persuade them to

Finally he came to what he would

it not appeared that Helen Sherwood

the foot of his bed. This he knew to
be fictitious presentation of his fever.

for the lady to look exquisitely pretty.
No one could help wishing to stay in

But the next night Meredith waited

"Yes.'
'.What is the name Of the supervis--
or Of Sumter county?
"Mr. Seale.''
What are his initials?

chief Of police?"
"Reb Bradford
The Columbia man then rang off
abruptly and Mr. Moses could not
find out his name. His suspicious
were aroused and he informed Chief
Bradford of the occurrence.
The sequel quickly followed. About
an hour later Chief Bradford received
telegram from Columbia addressed
to "Reb" Bradford, chief of police,
directing him to release the man
being held for picking the pocket OF
Mr.. Scale at the depot this morning.
And it was signed 'fW. H. Scale
The fact that the telegram was ad-
dressed to "Reb" and not to J. K
Bradford was sufficient proof that it
was not sent by Mr.. Scale and also
proof that one of the pickpocket's
pals had tried to work smooth
shrewd trick on Chief Bradford. The
man who called up Mr.. NJ Moses laid his
plans shrewdly and obtained the in
formation he thought necessary to
serve his purpose, but it failed to
work, and the pickpocket is still in
Jail.
