The ,vernte't seerYt servce

of the saferac !wrs whuu blew the safe
in thpo totle at sn8'! a early Fri
day m!r:Iin. and if t -+.e authori

the Seneca robbery reports have been
receiv'd from three towns of the ar
rest of tramps and their subsequent
sentenec.s of terms on the chaingang.
The blowing of the safe in the
store of R. A. Ellis, a merchant, near
Ninety-Six. Monday night of last
week and of t.he safe in the postoffice
at. Seneca last Friday mornin2- are the
first evidences of the presence in this
state of p>rofession_tl "veg'men''
since the blowing of the safe in the
Springs Banking and Mercantile
company's vault at Heath Springs on
the night of March 31, 1905. For
the latter job John Fisher. alias
"Connecticut Sh.orty.'' and Charles
O'Day. alias "Charley Cross.'' alias
''Missouri Charley.e'' are now serv
ing a 15-year- sentence in the state
penitentiary.
The two safes blown in this state
last week appear to have been the
work of two experienced cracksmen,
with possibly the assistance of a
third man who played the role of
"spotter." Two suspicious charac
ters were seen in Seneca who are
thought to have been connected with
that crime and the same two men are
thought to have been implicated in
the Ninety-;Six robbery. One of these
men is rather below medium height
and is stout; the other is above me
dium heigrht and slender . The stout
one was dark hair and dark complex
ion, and the taller one has a lighter
complevion. They are 30 to 33 years
of age. no beard, although one may
have a small muitae-he. Both were
fairly well dressed..
These two newcomers are evide-t
ly in ignorance of the fact that the
penalty for safeblowing in South
Carolina is now life imprisonment.
They are thought to. have drifted
across the state line from Georgia,
where a gang ha.s recently been
,operating, or possibly they followed
s'ome of the fakers south to the var
ious fairs.
At Seneca a merchant sold laun
dry soap to a stranger the day before
* the postoficee safe there was blown,
and as this commnoditv is a necessary
adjunct to the safeblower 's parapher
nalia, there is little doubt that this
man was implicated in that job. Ant
old seeret service -man said yesterday:
''Merchants who have calls for laun
dry soap from suspicious characters
are advised to watch themif and re
port their presene to offieers immed
iatelv. Local officers should keep a
s1: ?l'koJut Th rstr:<.u1e CSAho havye

poliee niilecers should noty 'Post
office Inspeotor in (ha rge. Al tant a.
Ga..' by letter or telegram. as the
ur.ge:;ey of the ease may demand.'
There is a standing reward of $200
offered by the potstoffice department
for the arrest and coLnvic.tion of any
man for blowing a postolhie safe re
gardless of whether anything~ is stol
en. The state law p)rovides life fim
prisonn:e:u for h! owv:i open a SafLe.
Any oilieer whoI( may capinrie any of
these men may have the satisfaction
of havinz an example mladie of them
by a life sentenee in the state peni
* tentiary. or may ob)tainl $200 for each
of them from the U:nited States gov
ernent.

After tir?e years of immunity
from the notorious "yeggs,'' South
Carolina may again be in for a series
of safcblowings as numerous as those
committed in this state in 1902 by
the ftanous Nolan-Mckinley gang.
:The surest. way to prevent a recur
renee of these crimes,"' said the old
officer yesterday, "is for police of
ficers to keep a close look out for all
tramps and other persons who are in
thN least su,pieious in their actions.
The 'spotters,' or advance agents of
thee gangs of professional cracks
me. usually appear in a town as
aaent for some household article or
with some begging plan and manage
to do the town pretty tj-oroughy,
getting a 'lay of the land' and pick
ing out the safe or safes which they
figure it will pay to tackle. A report
is made to the gang, at some point of
rendezvous and a few days or a few
weeks later the 'heavies' hit the
town. do their little nitro-glyceriae
stunt and disappear."
KILLS NEGRO.
West Virginian in Anderson on
Bridal Trip Has Sad
Experience.
Anderson. November 20.-A most
distressing accidental killing occur
red on Mr. Allen Martin's place,
eiear this citv, when Mr. George E.
Sampson. a visitor from Hinton,
West Virginia, shot and killed Ern
est Snipes, a colored man of 30 years.
Mr. Sampson is a nephew of Mrs.
William Sheib, of this city. He was
married in. Wes,t Viiinia several
days ago and is here with his bride
spe:]ding part of his honeymoon.
Being iond of hunting he and .Mas
ter William Sheib went out to shoot
some quail and Ernest Snipes agreed
to go along to help locate the birds.
When the dogs found a covey of
hirds Mesrs. Sampson a:-d Sheib vot
l position to shoot, when Snipes
lushed them. Snipes walked in front
.f S:m4pson's gun and it went off.
'jhe trig,er had hit against Mr.
Samposoni 's knee. The darky was on
1v about three feet from the muzzle
of the gun and all of the shot took
effect in his left leg above the knee.
Mr. Sampson had a pair of elamps in
his pocket and he placed these
ar*und the nigro 's leg to stop the
flow of blood, but it could not be
stopped. Mr. Sampson then put the
nezro in his new overcoat and car
ried him to the negro 's home only a
short distance away. Before .medi
eal attention could be secuired the
darkv bled to death.
.Mr. sampSon is terribly distressed
over the accide.nt and the incident
has comxplet.ely marred the pleasure
of his brid'al trip. He has done every
thing possible for the wife of the
dednegro and has paid the burial
exnenses. An inquest was held by
( roer Pruitt. and the jury returned
: t(erdit that Ernest Saipes came to
hsdeath from an accidental gun
