PUTS BURGLAR TO FLIGHT.
Young Greenwood Woman Uses Hair
pin Effectively on Intruder.

Greenwood, Jan. 3.-A daring at
tempt at burglary, which almost ter
minated in the more terrible crime Of
murder, was frustrated here this
morning at the residence Of Mr.. Joe
Pinson, on Reynolds street. His
daughter, Miss Ruth, Winthrop stu
dent, who expected to return to Win
throp today, heard a noise in the par
1or about o'clock. She pushed open
the door and was seized by some one
within, dragged inside and cloth or
mask thrown over her head and an
attempt made to push something in
her mouth. She could not scream, but
jerked out hairpin and began jab-
bing and5scratching her assailant. He
in turrz made 8 savage cut, directed
at her head, with some sharp instru-
ment and cut of almost half her hair,
which was done up on her head. Miss
Pinson then tainted, and the noise of
her fall attracted her father, who ran
into the room. The burglar jumped
out ct window and escaped. It is be-
lieved i.ei hc mas on his face marks
Of the harpin used.
The articles which the burglar in
tended to take away were found out
side the window. They included a
large number Of wedding presents be-
longing to a sister, who was married
last Thursday. Although every effort

COMFORTING WORDS.
Many a Newberry Household VIII
Find Them So.

Find Them So.
To have the pains and aches of a
back removed; to be entirely free from
annoying, dangerous urinary dlsor-
ders is enough to make any kidney
sufferer grateful. To tell how this
great change can be brought about
will prove comforting words to hun
dreds of Newberry readers.
Mrs. J. NJ. Wheeler, Prosperity, S.
c., says: my kidneys were disor-
dered for a long time, causing terrible
pains through my loins and limbs.
There was also constant ache in my
back and on some occasions, I could
scarcely get about. The kidney secre-
tons were too frequent in passage
and annoyed me greatly. I consulted
several physicians and tried any num-
Der of remedies, but did not improve
in the least. I had about given up
hope of ever being cured when my
son-in-law procured a box Of Doan's
Kidney Pills for me at W. E. Pelham
& Sons Drug Store. He had read
about they were good for kidney trou-
BILE and told me to try them. l did
so and after I had taken the contents
of two boxes, my backache had dis
appeared and my kidneys had been
restored to their normal condition. l

TRAIN IS HELD Up.
Negro Porter Killed-Money and Jew
els Taken by Bandits-Train-
men Also Suffer.

Ogden, Utah, Jan. 3.-Southern Pa
cifc train No. l, the Overland limit
ed, westbound, was held up by two
masked bandits at an early hour this
morning at Reese, nine miles west of
Ogden. One negro porter, William
Davis, was shot and instantly killed
and another porter, A. ". Taylor, was
mortally wounded. A passenger was
slightly wounded. One hundred pas
sengers on the train we're relieved Of
their valua5les. The robbers did not
attempt to enter the express car, but
devoted their entire attention to the
Pullmans, where they made rich
haul among the California-bound pas
sengers, holding the train for more
than an hour.
The train proceeded westward. No
passenger ESCAPED the robbers and the
trainmen also lost their money and
jewelry. At 1890 this morning Con-
ductor Cunningham advised the super
intendent's Office at this place of the
hold-up. The sheriff and police depart
ment were Immediately notified, and
posses left the city for the scene or
the hold-up in automobiles and on a
special train. Posses from the nearby
towns are working toward Reese.
Two masked men stopped the train
at the little watering station by throw
ing the red light on the signal stand
toward the approaching locomotive.
As it came to standstill the bandits
covered the engineer and fireman with
their revolvers and held them until the
conductor rushed up to investigate the
delay. He too, was placed under
guard.
01e of the robbers left the trainmen
in charge Of his companion and start
ed through the train from the forward
end. He encountered two porters on
his way and when they disregarded his
commands he shot one down and
wounded another. A curious passen-
ger also was wounded.
The shots aroused the occupants OF
the cars and when the hold-up man
appeared with an open sack and a
menacing pistol, the passengers were
perfectly willing to contribute to his
collection. He went through the en-
tire train, stopping at every berth and
making a deliberate search. After
completing their work the robbers
drove away in vehicle.
About four miles from Reese they
met two girls who were returning
home from dance. One of the rob-
bers very politely requested them to
hand over their purses and to "beat
it, Although frightened the girls
succeeded in getting a good descrlp-
ton Of the bandits, which tailed with
that furnished by the passengers and
train crew.
After robbing the girls, the daugh-
tiers Of Bishop Way1nont, of the Nor
mon church at Warren, the highway
men drove toward the city.
Early this morning no report had
been received from the five posses
that are now in the field.
