Auto Thief Stopped
After Much Gunplay
After having the stolen car which
he. was -driving tilled with. 21 buckshot,
a Pee Dee negro escaped from
the state highway patrolmen only after
some exciting gunplay which took
place near the Wateree river bridge!
on the Columbia-Sumter highway
about five o'clock this morning. The
negro jumped out of the car and ran
off into the swamp before the patrolmen
could catch him.
The patrolmen were stationed in
the Wateree swamp on the'Columbia
road and another group of patrolmen
were stationed at the Camden bridge
waiting for a car that they expected
to come through. For some time a
number of cars have been stolen in
Columbia and in different sections of
the Pee Dee area and the officers
had been stationed at these points
ever since the first of the week Jin
hopes that they might catch the thief.
About one o'clock this morning J.
O. Huff, a member of the Sumter patrol
was notified by the Darlington |
police that a 1940 V-8 Ford had been
stolen. Approximately a half an hour
later he was notified the Bishopville
authorities that a number of
chickens and turkeys had been stolen
in that town.
Mr. Huff sent word to the officers
stationed on the Columbia road by
Patrolman F. A. Munn, Jr. The officers
were stationed under the overpass
that has just been built so that
another bridge could extend across
the river. About 5 o'clock ?he Ford
was sighted coming toward Columbia
by the officers. They waited untllj
