Alleged Hold-l p Takes Place Xe?r
Columbia.?Officers Search
For The Thieves.
Columbia, Nov. 11.?A bold attempt
at the robbery of Southern passenger
train No. 36, operating between
Columbia and Charlotte, was
made this morning 16 miles from Columbia
by unmasked bandits, according
to the version of the affair given
by R. W. Peterman, messenger of;
the American Railway Express company,
to John C. McCain, sheriff of
Richland county, and detectives.
Peterman stated, according to the
sheriff, that bandits boarded his car
at Killian, about 12 miles north of
Columbia, and that the shorter one
of them held him up at the point of
a revolver, bound him with the bell
cord of the train, while the taller
bandit rolled the large safe to the car
door and dropped it into a deep cut
just this side of Sharpe, a station 16
miles north of Columbia. The shorter
bandit, it is charged by Peterman,
then required him to surrender his
keys to the smaller or transient safe
which the bandit, it is alleged, rifled.
The detrained safe was recovered by
the crew of a freight train and delivered
to the express company this
morning with its contents undisturbed.
Atlhough the officers of the American
Railway Express company will
not give out a statement as to the
contents of their through safe and
the one which was robbed, it is
known that the recovered repository
contained approximately $1M00 in
currency, and the bandits got an amount
ranging between $300 and $700
in non-negotiable securities from the
smaller safe.
The statement of county authorities
tonight is that no clue has been found
as to the identity of the bandits or
their whereabouts, but both Richland
county officers and detectives of the
express company are working on the
case.
According to the allegation made
by R. W. Peterman, the messenger,
to detectives of the company and to
the sheriff of Richland county, said
Mr. McCain, the bandits, one of whom
is described as short, blond and heavily
built and the other as slighter
stature and tall, entered the side door
of the express car just north of Killian.
The shorter bandit, it was assserted,
"covered" the messenger
with a revolver, bound him with the
hell cord, but did not gag him. The
smaller safe was rifled, after the keys
had been procured. According to the
authorities some of the securities
.were left untouched. Peterman says
after the bandits left the car he climbupon
a barrel of fish, pulled the emergency
cord causing the train to
atop, when he gave the alarm, at
Blythewood, just beyond Sharpe. The
crew of freight train No. 85 of the
Southern railway, was told of the occurrence
and asked to be on the lookout
for the purloined safe. It was

The latest advices from Columbia
in regard to the express robbery indicate
that no trace has been found
of the robbers, and no solution of the
robbery has been arrived at.
WIVES COST MORE.
Father in Law Profiteers in the Hills
of Burnia.
New York, Oct. 27.?The cost of
wives has increased in the far-off
Chin hills of Burma, where they are
obtained on the "dollar down" plan.
Men matrimonially inclined are demanding
lower and easier terms from
their prospective fathers-in-law, who
are compensated for the loss of their
daughters' labor, declares a report J
by the Rev. J. Herbert rope, repiesentative
of the Baptist Foreign Missionary
society at Haka.
"This year a lively discussion grew
out of the resloution that selling of
daughters cease," the report continued.
"The custom has grown into
an abuse. Men are demanding more
and more until a young chap who
marries goes frightfully into debt
which he is years liquidating. And,
if while paying slowly for his wife,
the husband incurs the anger of her
father, the daughter is promptly called
home and, in some cases, sold to
another man. We have been trying
to get them to reduce the charges."
Efforts to induce the natives to
follow the customs of white men are
being made in educational institutions
opened in the New World movement
of northern Baptists, Dr. Cope
said.

Aimi;VILLi; i WKMKIL KILLED.
K. (). Simpson Shoois Ernest Cheatham
in Quarrel.
Abbeville, Nov. 12.?E. O. Simpson
shot, and killed Ernest Cheatham
this morning at Watts, a Hag station
on the Seaboard Air Line railway, live
miles south of Abbeville. Simpson was
farming at Cheatham's plantation
near Watts on shares and the killing'
is said to have beeiCcaused by a Quarrel
over the divison of some cottonseed.
Cheatham was shot three times
with a pistol. Simpson claims Cheatham
was beating him over the head
with a hammer when he was forced to
shoot to save his own life. One of
Simpson's arms was bruised and a
wound on the head was dressed by
a physician. .Mr. Cheatham lived in
Abbeville. His wife, who was a Miss
Keaton, one son about ten years old.
his father, J. H. Cheatham, and a
brother, .Major R. B. Cheatham and
two brothers in Texas survie him.
Simpson is a man of family and a
hard worker. Until this year he had
lived near Lowndesville.
Simpson went to jail, but was re-1
leased today after his attorney had j
appeared before Judge Frank B. Gary
and procured Simpson's release on
bail for $1,500.
MADE A GOOD LIVING TOO.
Worm Digger Was Proud of His Profession.
Worms are now a valued commodity
and worm digging is a profession.
Pleasant work, this worm digging.
Outdoors and healthful, with only the
tang of fresh salt air as it sweeps
from Long Island sound to across
man's tender lungs. Light exercise,
for the 9pade that routs the worm is j
not a shovel, but a gentle tip of aluminum
such as children disport themselves
with on the sands.
It made the court gasp with envy.
All this was brought out in the Flushing
police court when John Buser, of
College Point, was arraigned before
Magistrate Thomas Doyle the other
day on a charge of disorderly conduct
brought by a sensitive neighbor, who
declared that Buser's vocabulary was
a bit too pungent.
"Where do you work?" finally asked
the magistrate.
"I work for myself," Buser replied
proudly. "I am a worm digger."
"A worm digger!'' exclaimed the
magistrate, leaning forward at once
and extending an attentive ear into
the foreground.
"Yes, your honor," came the explanation.
"I dig worms for bait"
"Do you make a living that way?"
came the skeptical question from the
magistrate.
And the answer: "1 make $7 a
day."

FOOD GIVEN THE STRIKERS.
Men in Cork Jail Should Pull Through
Say the Doctors.
Cork, Nov. 13.?"Not out of danger,
but there is no reason why we
should not pull them through," said
the jail doctors in a report on the condition
of the nine hunger strikers in

fast of 94 days.
Every three hours the prisoners
are given liquid nourishment. This
diet will be continued until Monday
when the first solid food in the shape
of boiled fish prepared with milk will
be served them. With one exception,
they are able to read the newspapers
this morning. All of them
drank large quantities of very sweet
lemonade with much enjoyment.
Their first food yesterday was such
as is given to infants less than sia
month old. Their appetites are returning
rapidly. John Crowley said
this morning: "I could eat anything."
The physicians regard it as remarkable
that none of the men has
shown the slightest scurvy. Both Dr.
Pearson and Dr. Bascombe, the prison
physicians, think it may be two
or three months before they will regain
their strength and that it will
probably he a year beofre they are
normal.
They are counting on the benefi
cial influence or tne prisoners cua-nsed
state of mind to hasten recovery.
The emaciation of the prisoners is so
bad that, according to the doctors,
it is possible to encircle their ailkles
with the first finger and the thumb.
This afternoon, for the first time
in more than ten weeks, the doctors,
both of whom are threatened with
death if any hunger strikers died, left
the jail for a stroll about the city.
Good Reason For ft.
