THE SOLDIER.

On the twelfth day of May, l1so'
Charleston was captured by British
army Of 5000 men under Sir Henry
Clinton. The regulars were held DIS
prisoners but the militia were sent
home on their promise not to serve
again during the war.
The only resistance kept up by the
Americans were the soldiers led by
Marion. Sunten and Pickens. Ihese
daring men kept the British com
mander in constant uneasiness. Inc
men we're like the Indians, when pur-
sued they would divide into small
parties and if necessary would dlVlde
again. and lots of times there would
be but one by himself and then there
could be no successful pursuit.
| One day lieutenant of the British
army O fthree other men stopped pc
fore a farmer, who was hoeing in the
field by the roadside and said that
they would give fifty pounds II they
could oct the man who had just
passed by.
The farmer leaning on his hoe look,
ed up at the angry soldiers ana saiu
that fifty pounds was a great deal
of money-for in our money it is S2oo;
The soldiers said it was a great deal
but they would give that much IN goid
if they could get him. The farmer
asked if he was all alone riding a
black horse with white star IN ms
forehead. The soldier said he was the
man: hoping they would learn where
he was. The farmer said that he
looked like Jack Davis, one o.
Marion's soldiers.
The Lieutenant said that he nae
been in their camp robbing and steal
: ing, and two men had grabbed MIN
he knocked one down and killed the
other and then escaped on his morse
They said he had ridden for two hours
and his horse seemed to be tired ant
and that he might be hiding aroune
some where. The farmer said he dlt
not think he was around there.

81 KILLED SEVEN WOMEN"

New York, Oct. 2S.-Frederick Geb-
hardt, who married Anna Luther under
the name of Otto Mueller and confess
ed that he killed her when he tired of
her, is positive that they cannot send
him to the electric chair. "They can't
prove more than manslaughter," he
mumbles, and then breaks into rage
against his Astoria wife, who has now
turned completely against him.
Il said the other day." Mrs. Geb-
hardt told the police today, that a
woman I did not know had told me
Fred had killed seven other women.
That was not true. Fred told me that
himself as warning, when I became
curious about his odd behavior.
"One morning I said to him: Fred

ESTIMATES ARE CLOSE.
New York MayoraIty Contest by No
Means a Walkover. !.

New York, oct. 28.-With New
Works. municipal election only three
working days away, there was gen
eral summing up of issues tonight by
the 800 speakers who presented the
causes of Gaynor Barnard and Hearst
to audiences in every corner of Great
err New York. Justice Gaynor, speak
ing four times to audiences in Brook
Ign, Manhattan and the Bronx. re-,
turned to his plea for greater personal
liberty. the abolition of police cZarship,
and liberality in the enforcement of
minor laws.
Mr. Barnard, the Republican candi-
date, told seven mass meetings in New.
York and Brooklyn that he stood first,
last and all the time for business ad-
ministration in a Tammany-free city,"
Incidentally, however, the Republican
candidate took up the cudgels with Mr.
Gaynor on the personal liberty ques-
ton. Il do not come before you to
recommend the violation OF laws or to
countenance the violation of law. and
if personal liberty means anything as
the overriding of law, | am firm
against it. l am no crank and l stand
for no oppression or refinement Of
Puritanism. If l am named mayor l
want it understood that people of all
creeds, races, colors or political beliefs
must alike observe the Lawsuit that
these will be enforced, not progressively,
but with sympathy and liberation.
William Randolph Hearst the third
candidate for the mayoralty, was silent
tonight, but his followers, in 10 mass
meetings, kept the fires burning At each
meeting long banner which hung above
the stage bearing the words Down with
the bosses of both parties,'' furnished the
text for the speakers
The campaign managers for all three
candidates again expressed their conf
dence today in the result of thu election.
There was evidence, however. that the
leaders believe that the race is closer
than their forecasts would indicate. In
all three camps it was announced that
the spec chmaking and campaigning would
continue practically up to the opening Of
the polls at O'clock Tuesday morning..
