WAS SHE STOLEN,
Girl Missing Nearly Thirty Years
Thought to Have Been Found.

Orangeburg, Jan. 10.-The old
saying that truth is sometimes
stranger than fiction will be verified
if Lizzie M. Lewis, a woman about
35 years of age, now living at Sapul-
ba, Okla, proves to be Lizzie, the
five-year-old daughter of Albert T.
and Caroline Cain, who is thought to
have been kidnapped while attend
ing circus with her mother in this
city about thirty years ago. The cir
Gus they visited was the John Rob-
inson circus, and Lizzie M. Lewis,
who is expected to come to this city
in few days for the purpose of iden-
tification, is now with that circus at
it's winter quarters at Sapulba, Okla.
The disappearance of the little girl,
Lizzie M. Cain, created considerable
excitement at the time, and every

Young Couple in Jail.

Newberry Jan. 14.-Mr. and Mrs
J. S. Roberts, who came to Newberry
from Georgia with the intention OF
opening a moving picture show here,
are under arrest in the Newberry jail
on the charge of burglary. The ar
rest was made by Sheriff Buford up
on a warrant based upon a message
from the sheriff of Bullock county
Georgia.
The couple had been boarding with
Mr.. E. H. Leslie and then rented a
house from Mr.. J. w. Watts on
Nance street, where they were ar.
rested.
Mr.. and Mrs. Roberts are young
people. The husband is young man
Of good appearance and the wife is
an especially pretty woman. Roberts
is from Lexington, KY, and his wife
is from Pennsylvania.
When seen in the jail the couple
did not care to discuss the charge
but said they were being imposed
upon. Sheriff Buford dislikes ex'
ceedingly to keep so pretty a woman
in Jail.
The Bamberg herald. [volume] (Bamberg, S.C.) 1891-1972, 1911-01-19

she was born, but thought that she.
was about 35 years of age. She said
she was known as Lizzie M. Lewis
by her associates in the circus.
This interview impressed Cain,
and he asked her to keep him posted
as to her whereabouts after she left
the city, which she has done. She
has expressed herself as willing to
come to this city to be Identified
whether or not she is member OF
the Cain family. She has been sent
transportation and is now on her way
to Orangeburg. This woman wrote
in one of her letters that when the
circus left Orangeburg last October
that one of the showmen stated that
she was leaving her home.
If this woman proves to be the
kidnapped girl, the Cain family ex-
pect to resort to legal proceedings
and see that justice is done.

ALDERMANS WILL REBUILD.
AlceIu Lumber Men will Replace Rig
Saw Mill Plant.

Alcolu, Jan. 15.-It is now an as
sured fact that the D. W. Alderman
& Sons Co., will begin at once the
erection of a modern and .up-to-date
saw mill at this place to take the
place of their big plant that was
burned on September 80. This an
nouncement came at a late hour last
night, and was after several months
of deliberation. 1t is understood
that the Messrs. Aldermen were ne
gotiating with several different CAPT.
talists on the sale of their immense
timber holdings, and the options on
the same having expired with the set
ting of the sun on yesterday. The
mill, it is understood will be built

The cage containing those charged
with being menace to the public

the city to no trouble in establishing
their guilt. Deputy Sheriff Sykes

the same charge under the State
law.
The trials will commence again at
10 o'clock on Monday morning, and
will continue until all of the cases
are disposed Of.

LYNCHING IN KENTUCKY.
Mob Attacks Jail and Takes Three
Negro Prisoners.

Shelbyville, KY, Jan. 14.-Storm'
ing the Shelby county jail here early
this morning, mob composed of less
than 100 men seized and lynched
three negroes, two of whom were
charged with assaulting white girls
and the third sentenced to hang for
the murder of his wife and held IN
iail until the day for his execution
could be set.
The three were lynched in differ
ent places, and what first seemed to
have been a single lynching was
found to have been triple one only
with the finding of the three bodies,
Two Hanged to Bridge.
The body of Eugene Marshal, SEN
fenced to, hang for the murder of his
wife. whom he had beheaded, was
found hanging to a bridge over the
Eminence Pike, only a short distance
from the Jail.
Jim West, employed as a chauf-
feur for several months and who, it
is said, had been seen throwing kiss
es at white girls, and who was charg-
ed with assaulting the daughter OF
a Shelby county farmer, was one OF
the victims. He, TOO, was hanged to
the bridge.
Wade Patterson, the third negro
lynched. was also charged with as
saulting a white woman.
Body Thrown Into Creek.
Patterson attempted to escape
from the mob and was shot and his
body thrown into a creek.
The mob which attacked the jail
went about it's work quietly and few
persons knew of the triple lynchlne
until the bodies were found several
hours later.
Few of the mob were masked. The
Jail lock was smashed with a sledge
hammer and there was little dill
Guilty in getting to the prisoners.
According to Deputy Jailer Horn
back, Jailer Edward Thompson hid
the Jail keys when the mob appeared
and later, when the mob became
more insistent, Hornback let the men
into the Jail Office.

groes here they were going to get OF

COST OF LIVING LESS.
eCorner" in Food Products on Verge
of Dissolution.

Chicago, Jan. 15.-Millions OF
pounds of butter, eggs, cheese and
poultry held in the cold storage
wareh ouses here will be thrown on
the market before May 1 and a gen.
eral tumbling of food prices is ex-
pected at once, according to commits
sion merchants. Numerous Chica-
20 commission men are said to be
facing failure as result of their
efforts to maintain an artificial price
on the necessities of life. The ina
bility further to hold this price is
said to be due to a combination of
circumstances, chief of which are
the open winter of 1911 and the
banner crops of 1910.
Three Already Down.
Three commission men failed in
the last week as the result of hold
ing great quantities of butter, which
they purchased and were unable to
market for more than 27 or 2S cents
Der pound. While the wholesale
prices have dropped decidedly with
in the last few weeks there has as
vet been no decline in the retail
prices.
Much of the produce which is to
be unloaded on falling market has
been in the warehouse for as long
as five years. By means of cold stor-
age commission men have been able
to maintain an artificial price not
only to the consumer, but to the pro-
ducer, it is said.
No public warehouse report is ever
made here and the exact amount of
produce in the hands of the Chicago
firms cannot be estimated. Thirty
two warehouses are known to have
100000 pounds of butter, eggs
and poultry.
May be Much More.
Men familiar with the market say
it would be impossible to say wheth-
er it was only small percentage of
the entire amount.
The increased sale of oleomarge-
rine is given as an added cause of
the situation, the commission men
now find themselves facing thous-
ands of consumers who, unable to
pay the price at which butter has
been held, have becomes users of
oleomargerine.
Butter is six cents a pound lower
wholesale than it was year ago and
is selling at the lowest figure in sew
eral years.
An indication of the decline in the
last 10 days is shown in the follow
ing:
Some Declines.
January 5-Eggs, fresh 34c.;

effort was made to recover her. Sev-
eral people connected with the cir
Gus, and the side shows connected
with the circus, were arrested and
held, while every corner and nook of
the tents were searched for the miss
ing child. Friends of the child fol-
lowed the circus to Augusta, but
nothing could be heard concerning
the missing child.
Disappeared Mysteriously.
The disappearance of the child was
most peculiar. In company with her
mother and several other children,
Lizzie, then only five years of age,
visited the John Robinson circus one
afternoon in the fall of 1879. While
witnessing the performance the abb
sence Of Lizzie was noted by her
mother, and search was Immediate
ly instituted, but no tidings Of the
child ever came to the greatly dis
tressed father and mother.
The little girl was given up as
dead until visit of this circus to

this city during last October. With
this circus was young woman
whom friends of the Cain family
said resembled very much some of
the children of that family. It was
talked around that this womas was
the girl that was kidnapped about
thirty years ago. City Mail Carrier
o. D. Cain, brother of the stolen
girl, who had not attended the cir
Gus, was told of this woman. Cain
sought an interview with this woman
on the circus grounds, which she
readily granted.
Knows Very Little.
The woman seemed not to know
anything much concerning her early
life. She did not know where she
was born, who her mother was and
that she had ever known her mother.
She said she did not know whether
she was kidnapped or not, but from
her earliest recollections she had
been travelling with the Robinson cir
Gus. She said she didn't know where
