We confidently expect Governor Heyward
to take some action in reference to
having Adams, the convicted Colleton
murderer, arrested. It is his duty to do
0, and we do not believe he will shirk it.
||:1 Mr. D. W. Smoak has assumed the edrap
itorship of the Colleton News, and he
gisfv . comes out strongly for law and order in
fe* the first issue under his management,
fef. His editorial on the Adams case is a strong
arraignment of the peace officers of that
MS. county.
Ife; The Colleton News says that R. A Ad*
pj ams, the white man tried and convicted
p< t of murder and sentenced to be hanged in
||&,- that county, is still at large in the neigh
borhood where the crime was committed
?|^... and that the fact is generally known. It
.will be remembered that Adams escaped
from jail while under sentence of death

Where Are They 2
Where, oh where has ;he young man
gone, whose graduation clothes put on
some time along the last of May, and
owned the whole wide world for a day ?
And where is the sweet girl graduate,
who chanted an essay dread with fate,
and started out with a giggling frcwn to
turn tliis big world upside down ? And
where is that last summers's candidate,
who had things fixed for next year's slate;
who carried around as ycu'd believe, a
couple of counties in his b'iled shirt
sleeve? And where is the scribe with
vaulting will, who tried a long-felt want
to fill, and counted shekels and renown
with aminion paper in a turgeois town ?
The lad has divided the world up fair,
holds but his own eight-billionth share;
the sweet girl "grad" is a grand surprise,
and conquers the world with wellmade
pies; the candidate with deathless
"gall" is fixing hmself for another
fall; while the journalist with haughty
crest has gone the way of the last
year's nest. So year by year and day
by day the world runs on in the same old
way; the balloon that's the biggest round

He Would Take no Chances.
Two men in the West were to be hang.
?d for horse stealing. The place selected
was the middle of a trestle bridge spanning
a river. The rope was not securelytied
on the first man to be dropped and
the knot slipped; the man fell into the
liver and immediately swam for the
shore. As they were adjusting the rope
for the second man, an Irishman, he remarked:
"Will yez be sure and tie that good and
tight, 'cause I can't swim."
"Sometimes," said Uncle Eben, "a man
takes credit for bein' generous when he's
only payin' out money to please his own
vanity."

and Forced Messengers to

Tbe doors of tbe Missouri penitentiary
have opened to Sam Wilson,
known as tbe Tone train robber," wbo
was received at tbe penitentiary July
3, 1803, and set him at liberty, having
served three-fourths of tbe fifteen

toward patting him on his feet The
officials declare his prison record good.
Black Bart terrorized Gihfornla by
holding up stages. He did it all alone,
but seldom had more than half a dozen
persons to contend with. Fred Wittrock

express messenger, and did it single

car and bad only the messenger to
overpower, bat Sam Wilson, alone and
unaided, "stood up" a train and enforced
the assistance of the crew In
despoiling the express car.
The Missouri Pacific train which left
St Louis on the night of May 24, 1893,
was held up one mile west of Pacific.
The express car was shattered with
dynamite, and the messenger, Samuel
Hammel, was compelled to open the
safe and deliver its contents, amounting
to H000 in silver, to the robber.
The robber, however, carried away only
one-fourth of the amount, and half
of this sum be strewed over a cornfield
which he crossed in his flight United
States Senator William Joel Stone, then
governor of Missouri; ex-Governor Lou
V. Stephens, then state treasurer, and
United States Attorney William Warner
were among the passengers. The
holdup was not wholly unexpected, as
three officers armed in anticipation of
such an attack were among iihe passengers.
That seven men were engaged in
the crime so successfully carried out
by one, and he a gawky country boy,
seemed to be the impression that night,
and a jnessage so stating was sent by
Governor Stone to the St Louis officials.
A few hours later?within a day,
at any rate?tt was developed that the
job was performed by one man and
this man Sam Wilson.
John Hamilton was the engineer and
A. R. French the llreman or ine tram,
and their story, told soon after the robbery,
was that shortly after the train
left Pacific they beard a peculiar voice
and, turning at the sound, saw a
masked mgn climbing from the coal
tender into the cab. This intruder had
a pistol in each hand, one of which
was leveled upon the engineer and the
other upon the fireman. He issued orders
that the train be stopped, and the
injunction was not disregarded. When
the stop was made the men were ordered
to leave the cab and speedily
compiled. Hamilton and French were
marched back to the express and baggage
car, a combination coach, with a
baggageman and an expressman In
charge. Here the "robber ordered the
express messenger to open the door of
the car. Getting no reply to his repeated
demands that the door be opened,
the robber took from an inside pocket
a small bundle, from which he managed
to remove the wrapper, though
still holding his pistols, showing Its
contents to be dynamite. There were
three sticks of the explosive, and one
of these was used In forcing an opening
In the car, the other two being
carefully returned to his pocket
Hamilton and French, whom he had
permitted to step a few paces away,
were then summoned to come closer
and keep pace with him. He struck a
match, but before It could be applied
/
: -t: ; * ~> -v< ' ?g r
to the dynamite the wind extinguished
It This was repeated three times coolly
and with as much deliberation as
though he were only lighting his pipe.
Finally he managed to light the stick
of dynamite, placing it about two inches
from the door. The engineer and
fireman, witnesses of this proceeding,
attempted to move away, Out the pis- /
tola came into play, with the command: "Now,
Just yon wait, boys. Ton will
have plenty of time to get out of the
way." When the dynamite exploded
the car door was shattered, and at the
opening appeared Hammei, the express
messenger, and Simmonds, the bag*
gageman, with hands raised. They
were ordered to jump and so soon as i
they alighted npon the ground were k
"bunched" with tbe engineer and fireman.
The robber's next move was to climb
into the car. Then he called to the express
messenger, commanding him to
enter the car, saying, 1 want to use
yon." He forced tbe messenger to .
open the local safe, from which four 1
sacks, each containing gLOOO in siJ- *
ver, were taken. These sacks were
thrown out upon the ground, and then (
.the robber left tbe ear, compelling-the i
engineer to place a sack of the money
upoQ his shoulder. He intended to so
take away all of them; but, finding one 1
?f them alone weighed too much and '
his escape would be wholly impossible
with all of them, he left the other ?
three sacks lying npon the ground and
coolly walked away.
The next day after the robbery detectives
searched the vicinity and in
an adjoining cornfield found nearly 500
biiYW UUUtm duuyi u \J r ca ujc pi "mrm| j
together with a tag marked "11,000, t
Max 24." This tag was on the money
bag taken from the express car. The
money so recovered was taken to St
Louis and turned over to the officials
of the express company. There was
also found an old valise containing the ]
mask worn by the robber and a couple j
of letters addressed to 8. A. Wilson.
This gave the first clew to the possible
identity of the robber. It was learned
that Sam Wilson had been released
from Jail in Waynesville only a day or
two before the holdup and that a fel- s
krw prisoner said that Wilson hadfs
planned and was planning to rob a
Frisco train at Richland. He answered
the description of the lone robber, "
which turned the attention of the offi- a
cers to him, and search'for him was
begun. j
Wilson was released from the c
Waynesville jail tinder bond. He was
charged with felonious assault Just
before his arrest on that charge it wua J
made known to the officers at Richland c
by one of the men who were asked to
tako part in the Job that Wilson was E
preparing to hold up a train there. It
was only the weakening of one of the
gang, who gave the plot away, that >
prevented the attempt at carrying it '
out, the others all learning that they

tively that the Informer manufactured
the story and that there was nothing-.
In it In that instance Wilson was the
leader. Dynamite was to be used, Wilson
having gone from Richland to Leb- "
anon, it was afterward learned, to
purchase it for that purpose. The train
which was to be held op arrives at
Richland at midnight It neither leaves ...
nor takes express and consequently remains
there but a few seconds. Wil- j
son, who lounged about the depot a
great deal, having once been In charge
on the section there, was to send a telegram,
being an operator, notifying

WAS SHATTERED.
tbe express messenger to be In readiness
to receive several coops of chickens
when the train arrived, and when
the messenger opened the door to receive
the express Wilson and his accomplices
were to make the raid. One
of the gang gave it away, and the hold- t
up was abandoned. Wilson, who was cleared
on that charge, was being held r
for felonions assault, having fired a fusillade
into a farmer's bouse in order to
draw him outside, when he was to be
robbed, it being known that he had a
large sum of money. Wilson'B father, j
Frank M. Wilson, is a reputable farm- j
er and by mortgaging his property se- j
cured bond for bis son, who left his accustomed
haunts, not to be heard of
again until taken In charge on June 2, I
less than a month after his holdup of
the Missouri Pacific train, at the home
of his father, and he admitted to the
officers that he had committed the ?
crime, fie first confided to his father
his guilt and at the suggestion of his
father sent word to the sheriff saying
where he could be found and that he i
desired to surrender. This he did.
