HUNT TO THE DEATH.
MOBILK, Ala., Deo. 26.—The military, numbering twenty men, fully armed, Aave started from here for the house •f Bob Sims. They took with them a •ix-pounder fieldpiece.
NEW OHLKANS, Dec.
26.—The
Tiaies-
,democrat's Buckatonna (Miss.) special confirms the report telegraphed Thura day night concerning the murderous work of Bob Sims and his gang in Choctaw county, Ala., and says that Sims was surrounded Thursday in his house by sixty men. Some forty shots were ex changed, and Bob Sims and five others retreated to the house, where he is strongly fortified, having Winchesters and revolvers. His besiegers have a few rifles and shotguns. There are •trong chances that Sims will break through the cordon and a reign of terror be inaugurated. If he does not it is expected 700 men will environ the house. '.
Terrible Deeds of the Sims Gang. DE SOTO, Miss., Dec. 26. —Not since the day6 when the Copeland gang of thieves made Alabama the scene of their operation and Rube Burrow,v recklessly held up trains and defied the whole south have the authorities of this section been so wrought up as within the last three months, when Bob Sims, the notorious moonshiner of this state, began to attract the attention of the people of the whole country by openly defying the officers of the United States government, as well as the local authorities.
It was in September that Sims and two of his family were arrested for distilling illicit whisky. The arrests were made by a deputy United States marshal, and the prisoners were kept guarded in a room at the hotel in Bladon Springs. That night relatives of Sims surrounded the house, and after killing two officers and a private citizen and losing two of their number they rescued Bob and his companions and escaped to the woods. Pursuit was instantly made, as the affair created the .greatest excitement at the time, but neither Bob nor his followers were caught.
Swore to-Be Revenged.
A mob visited his home and destroyed everything he had in the world, and he vowed vengeance against every man in th* party, all of whom, to the number ol thirty-seven, he has sworn to kill. The first move in the direction of carrying out his threat was made cm the night of December
23,
when Sims and five of his gang surrounded and set fir^ to the home of John McMillan, who res'.ded
25
miles
from this place in a wide and sparsely settled, country. Here he committed an outrage that will linger forever in the memory of the citizens of this section.
Killed Womien and Children. Before firing the house he and his fang called to the inmates, six in lumber—two men, two women and two children—to come out and surrender. The offer was refused, and then the house was fiAd. The flames ascended higher and higher, until at last the inmates were compelled To floe from the burning building. As thqy ran out John McMillan, John Kennedy and Kennedy's 7-year-old daughter were fired upon and killed inatantly. Two other girls, 7 and 12 years old, were dangerously wounded, as was also Miss Belle McKenzie, a 22-year-old school-teacher, boarding with McMillan's family. Mrs. John McMillan and a man, Llewellyn, were seriously wounded. In the hurry to leave the building a little 8-year-old child of McMillan's was forgotten, and it was burned to death. After shooting everyone in sight McMillan's store was looted and the gang went for Sims' home, 6 miles distent. rangers Start Out.
The ne*vs spread with alarming rapidity cici a fwsn quickly Mim-rr-i-n.-d auil pvusiu.t KiVc:. Al p. :n. Sims' house was surrounded and a hot flght ensued between the two factions. About 500 shots were exchanged, but aa Sims had the advantage of position damage was done to his forces. 1he posse lost one man. The firing las then suspended and a courier lime into DeSoto, Miss., and Gov. Thomas G. Jones was asked for aid
Sheriff Gavin, of Choitaw count}-, thought best to take th act rather than sacrifice the lives of his men, who were at the mercy of bullets from the sntlaws whenever they advanced on the house. At 7 o'clock Friday night a detachment of artillery from the First regiment, Alabama state troops, left Mobile with a gatling gun, and will proceed at once to the scene. In the meantime the outlaws are. surrounded, and frequent skirmishes with the posse of men guarding the building occur, and people are wrought up to a high pitch of excitement, and hardly anybody in that section has been ar.leep in two or three nights, fearing a visit from the gang.
Two Fires Kcsult Fatally,

HON. MORTIMER K7E FOR GOVERNOR.
After considering the claims of other men and other localities, the many friends of Hon. Mortimer Nye in Northwestern Indiana have concluded to present his name to the next Democratic Convention as their candidate for Governor. Mr. Ny6 is fifty-two years of age, a true and sterling Democrat. He is a native of Ohio, but has resided in La Porte for the past fifty years. In 1862 he was admitted to the bar, and to-day stands in the front rank of successful attorneys. He has been elected Mayor of La Porte four times was chosen a Cleveland and Hendricks Elector in 1884, receiving a larger vote than any of his colleagues, and was additionally honored by them by being selected as Messenger to carry the vote to Washington. When the Legislature provided for a Supreme Court Com. mission, he was selected as one of its members. Such, in brief, is his history. With confidence in his Democracy as being that of the right kind believing in his integrity and capability, and that he hails from the proper locality—the Northwestern portion of the State—his friends feel confident that if chosen as 1 the, leader he will bring victory to Democracy's Banner.—La Porte Argus.
