Hull man and Constable Joynor, currying thu money with which to pay off tho hands working ut tho Parr shoals dam, woro confronted by throo men with a pistol in each hand and "COV orod." Each hrlgund pointed two pistols at the three carrying tho money and or dered them to throw up their hands, tlahar ami Uultmun compiled instant ly, but Constable Joy nor reaei.ed for his gun, whereupon one of the robbers fired at him, the ball making a flosh wound in the side. The robbers then HOCUrod t'1'! $10,008.1 I and made a got a-way across the railway tracks and ?jp the rlvor. Instantly the alarm was given and men came running from every direc tion to go on tho trail of the three da. lug robbers. The plant suspended work ami everyone of the l.oo'i em ployees organized into companies, and under the general command of Super intendent J. T. McLollan, of tho coa st ruction work, began a lyslcmntic pursuit. Other Cities Notified. News of the robbery was telegraphed to Lexington, Columbia and tho sur rounding towns. Sheriff Miller, of Lex ington, with deputies, went in an auto mobile to the scene and joined In the pursuit. Guard J. C. Bobbins, of the penitentiary, took his blood hounds from Columbia on the four o'clock train nnd placed them on tho trail of tho highwaymen. They Immediately Struck the scent and followed the tracks of the fleeing men up Broad River towards the Union County side. A long distance telephone message from Parr shoals early in the night staled that the men had II3d up the river on foot towards Union, with the blood hounds on the trail, but it was thought they would make an effort to secure boats and double back down the river. A (dose watch is being kept on all sides and well armed and well or ganized bands of determined men are scouring the country in every direc tion. The hold-up took placo about u.:'.o o'clock this afternoon In full daylight and within a few feet of the paymas ter's olllco, Money in Three Hags? II. W. Mahar, the paymaster, had been to Columbia and secured the mon ey with which to pay off the 1,000 em ployees for two weeks' work, lie had $1 COOS.11 in throo hags, one bag con taining $3,000 In gold, one containing $33,11 and one bag containing $12,G5? in currency. Tho gold was in 15, $io and $?_*() pieces; $1,500 of the currency in $1 bills and the balance in $.">,$10 and $20 denominations. Paymaster Mahar had gotten the money from Co lumbia by oxpross and the express company turned It over to him at Parr Shoals, getting his receipt for same. Accompanied by Assistant Cashier Bultman and Constable Joynor, who was acting a s guard, they had started from Parr Shoals depot for tho pay master's office and were passing through a delle, made up of empty (mix cars on one side and a high em bankment On the Other, when three men jumped out and threw pistols .in their fat es. Tho men were white, but had blacked their faces. Two of them were said to be of medium height and build, while the third was a heavy set fellow with a mustache. After secur ing the money they crossed the rail road tracks and made up the river, so their foot prints showed. Caused Croat Excitement. When tho news of the robbery first spread about Parr Shoals there was much excitement and indignation and tin! angry looks on the faces of the men swarming on the trail of the rob bers boded ill for the perpetrators. However, it was reported from Parr Shoals late this afternoon that tho ex citement and indignation had subsid ed Into a quiet and systematic deter mination to follow the robbers with re lentless persistency until they were captured and behind the bars. A telegram to the Columbia po lice tonight from Chief Hayes, of the Spartan burg police, stated that an au tomobile was stolen In that city this morning, but whether It was supposed to have any connection with the rob bery is not known. The country around Parr Shoals Is heavily wooded and sparsely settled,1 making the following of the robbers difficult. The faet that their tracks are following the bank of Broad River closely leads to the conclusion that the three desperadoes are hugging the bank, expecting to take to boats and Cms try and throw the bloodhounds off the scent. Columbia Police on Alert. The Columbia police are keeping a strict watch on every train and on every avenue into the city. If the rob bers try to come to this city they will more than likely he nabbed. The J. (!. White Construction Com pany is building the dam tit Parr Shoals, which is about twenty-two miles from this city, on Broad River, between Fuirflold and Newberry coun ties. The station at Parr Shoals is lo catod on the Falrflold side of the stream and the robbers are supposed to bo heading towards Union on that side. The $10,008.11 was In the possession of the employees of the construction Company when seemed by Ihe robbers, the express company having turned it ovor to them at Parr Shoals and secur ed their receipt for it. Fred Bulltman, assistant cashier of the company, is a son of Lucius M. Bulltman, of Columbia. His father en deavored to communicate with his son tonight, but was informed that he w s a member of the searching par tics, a long distance telephone mes sage? from Newberry tonight said noth ing bad been heard on that side of the river of the robbers. The White Construction Company has offered a reward of $('?00 for the capturo of the three bandits. ?
