Sheriff J. E. GalUard. of Sumter, S. C,
as a negro wanted there for. 17 years

been arrested here,; and he returned
with the prisoner to Sumter yesterday

Sheriff Burch, who keeps In close
touch with fugitives from justice back

Florence, and ; has found in ' Officer
Wood a valuable ally, was recently
here and compared notes -with the
Wilmington; officer, ;who intuitively
thought Cooper was wahtedT ;in S.outh

Burch . returned ' home, .looked " up . the
records and found that, he had once
arrested Sam .Cooper for the Sumter
authorities, but , that . the . negro , had
broken jail about 16 . years , ago and
had since been at large. He conferred
with Sheriff Galllard, of Sumter, and
the .'.negro's. arrest here i by ".Officer
Wood followed.. The robe.was com
mitted on the railroad . track, near
Sumter; September 28th, 1888, the vic
tim having been another -negro whb
was assaulted with brass knucks and
a knife, ; Cooper - having been accom
panled by his brother In making the
robbery: 'He was-arrested anL-placed
In jaU,; but managed to escape some
time later. "Sherjff, Galllard brought
with him yesterday the original mag
istrate's warrant as issued-nearly 17

talked none. He said If he was wanted
for anythipg; It was for something he'
had done more than 16 years ago, for
he had been : living a quiet life since
