THIEVES ROUNDED UP.
Gang of Thieves WHO Have Done
Much Damage To City Houses In
der Arrest.

1t is thought that the stealing that
has been going on in Sumter for the
past month was brought to a stop
Thursday when Jack Black, alias
Mack MILAN, alias Jake Johnson, was
arrested and brought here and put
IN jail and jim Ross, Albertus Elliott
and Dave Sanders were arrested for
completely in the stealing.
Black has been under suspicion
for some time and it is probably due
to his carelessness that he was at last
caught up with and arrested. His
last haul was made from the Bar
nett store at Mayesville Tuesday night
when he stole more than 500 worth
of goods and keys knife and a pis-
tol. He had previously stolen a
hack from a negro hack driver, Eli
King, which was used in hauling off
the plunder and which was the means
OF tracking him down. 1t is supposed
that he and his gang are the thieves
who at various times during the past
two months have stolen goods from
various wholesale houses in the city,
which goods thsy have gotten off
with and used for their own pur-
poses. Among the places robbed are
the Armour Packing company, Cross
well 81 Company's wholesale house,
the Union Brokerage companys
warehouse, the Belts store at New
Sumter the Barnett store at Mayes-
vile, and the Southern passenger
depot at this place.
The arrest of Black took place on
the Shaw farm about three miles
from the city Thursday about 2
and Baker rounded up Black and
brought him in to Jail. The other ar
rests followed later in the day. Thurs
day morning about IL o'clock Police
man McKagen answered phone
message from the Shaw farm that
there was a strange negro Ioafing
dpoul lne place ana that he had
horse and hack. Officer McKagen at
once asked over the phone for al
description of the negro and when it
was given him he at once decided
that the person was Black, of whom
he had suspicious and a minute de-
scription. He swore out warrant
before Magistrate Wells and Con-
stables Baker and Muldrow made the
arrest and brought Black to town.
The hack and horse that Black was
in possession of was found to be
that which had been stolen from Ell

The train dispatcher. writes a west

exacting and responsible duties that
can be crowded upon the shoulders Of
any one man. His word is law; his
instructions are obeyed to the letter
for to deviate from them in the leas
is to invite disaster He is the mar
who tells the train and engine crews
when to start their trains and wher
to place them on sidetracks to meet
or TO be passed by other trains. He
is the man who is doing the thinking
for 200 mep and directing the move
ments of 20 or 80 and oftentimes more
trains at the same time.
The train crews know nothing oi
the location of but one train-theit
own-while the train dispatcher musi
know the location of them all ano
keep them moving without accident OF
delay, oftentimes a very difficult thing
to do upon a busy single-track rail
road. yet it is being done hour after
hour and day after day on the rail
roads OF the United States, Canada
and Mexico by this almost unknown
man, the train dispatcher; this man
WHO holds the lives OF every railroad

(Which seldom occurs), may result ir
