FAMOUS GUS DeFORD
ARRESTED IN EUROPE
He is the Man Who ESCAPED from
Court Offcers by Jumping from
Train Near Cades in this State,

Columbia, May 30-Gus DeFord,
the noted ycggman, is thought to be
on high seas bound for London. and
the secret service slcuths who have
been following him for years, are
counting Oh nabbing him when he
lands.
DcFord, it will be recalled, escaped
from the train ut Cadcs, $. C., on the
18Th of February, 1905, while he was
being taken from New York to Char
lesion in The custody Of United
States marshal and an assistant His
escape must have been wcll-planncd
and timed and he doubtless had con-
fcdcratcS on the train or on the out
side, for he disappeared and all cf-
forts to rccapturc him have failed.
Now, however, the authorities think
he is ON his way to London and are
preparin" to have him arrested when
he arrives. lie will be met with en-
government and the State of South
Carolina has also been asked to take
out papers SO that when he is brought
back to this country he can be tried
on each of the many charges that are
laid against him. Under the treaty be-
tween this country and Great Britain,
Il criminal cXtraditcd can be tried i'm
this country only on the charges NAM
cd in the papers Of eXtradition and
for this reason it is necessary to have
all the crimes specified for which the
prisoner is to be held.
There are several postollicc robbcr-
les for which DeFord can be tried
in the federal courts but in addition
there are several State indictments
against him in this State and irk
Massachusetts. DclHord was one of
the most daring Of The gang of safe
crackers who operated in this State,
with headquarters in Columbia, in
the year 1902, nine of whom were af-
forwards convicted in the State courts
and sent to the pcnitentiary One of
the nine. Edward Dugcan. died in tn.
prison. The gang spent brilliant life
in Columbia and left their fame in
the trndcrloin, where they spent mon.
cy freely Il circumstance which led to
their capture.
DeFord was one OF the gang which
blew open the mill company $ safe at
EM"rce, Spartanbur" county, on No..
vcmbcr 18th, 1902. For this crime his
pals. Tom Nolan and Charles Howard,
were convicted at Spartanburg last
year and sentenced to ten Years each
in the State pcnitcntiary, having al
ready served five years under SEN
tcncc Of the federal court for the
same robbery, since the postot1ice at
Enorcc was in the mffl store The
gang got about $4,000 out of this
job
The same gang was also charged
with the robbery of the postolice at
Mullins, the same year, but they were
acquitted when tried at Marion lust
before the trial at Spartanburg De-
Ford was also in the safc-robbery at
Fort Mill. the same year, and doubt
less there arc other crimes for when
he could he tried if all the facts were
known. There is reward Of $3.50 for
his capture, and he is advertised as a
desperate criminal.

launching Down Town.

When a person is used to lunching at
home a visit to a restaurant, particular
ly if it be a department store, is fraught
with all sorts of Incidents, the majority
of which are decidedly amusing.
1 lunched down town yesterday, long
after noontime. The dining room was
almost empty, and there was a COM
forting absence of the clatter of the
rush hours. 1 was in the mood to find
fun in n happening. so 1 scrutinized
my neighbors with a view to being
amused, should they give me the least
cause.
My survey was interrupted by q
woman who overturned the salt in
reaching for q sugar bowl. A look OF
alarm spread over her features, and
after a surreptitious glance about the
she took a pinch of the salt and
carefully threw it over her left
shoulder.
She caught my smile n blushed
guiltily. I'm ashamed to be so super
s%titious," she remarked, "but I simply
cannot help 1t. Never in my life have
1 spilled salt without having a quarrel
a short time afterward."
1 smiled my assent, and waited for

PIGS IN A BLANKET.

Have you ever tried pigs in a blanket
for a cold night and with thin sand
witches made of brown or graham bread
and butter? Allow five or six oysters
for each person. Roll each oyster In a
tiny blanket of bacon cut thin as a
wafer, and fasten this on with q tooth
pick u straight through. Now lay
your pigs in the blazer of your
chatting dish and turn them over and
over until the bacon is crisp. Serve
on hot plates and watch them melt
among "oh's and "ah's' of satisfaction.
Cold slaw or green tomato pickle or
piccalilli should be erved with these.

TO MAKE DISH
WASHING EASY,

I The woman who has kept house for
years and years will tell you the secret
of getting out of the kitchen is to
wash dishes, pots and pans as you cook.
Women do not like dish washing, but
they can learn to do it with far more
good will If they will resolve to wash
every dish as it is used in preparing a
neal. 1t saves time, then the regular
dishwashing is done. Have a soap
holder, n Of the wire ones, so you
will not have to hunt for soap In the
pan; make plenty of good wash cloths
of white cheesecloth, for they launder
much nicer, and pour boiling water
over the washed dishes If you would
have them dry more quickly.
