There's not a middle-aged person
that cannot tell some new of the
notorious robber. learned as a child

New York World explains in print-
ing the following account. They
know how a generation ago he ter-
rorized the countryside, robbing the
henroosts. leading away. the horses.
robbing the rural stores, stealing the
smoking meat from the curing hous-
es. They can tell of his wild and
adventuresome life in the woods and
how he broke jail time after time,
employing some clever and dextrous
ruse. But always they mention, and
with. a kind of secret pride. "But
Abe never hurt anyone." Needless
to say, a legend has grown up about
the famous character.
immediately following the Civil
War, in that’wild and wooded and
semi-mountainous area between
erks and Lancaster counties, known
a the Welsh mountains. lived a
family of the name of Buzzard.
There were. seven children—two
girls and five boys. The father had
gone off to war 'and had given up
his life. .. The mother alone remained
but in a short time she remarried
leaving the children to take care of
themselves.

to teach her feminine offspring the

Became Thievcs' Aid.
Abe was small for his age and was
much in demand by several bands
of thieves living in those parts to
crawl into windows and open doors
from the inside. . ..
Abe. of course, thought these robe
bers were his friends and accepted
their tasks with pleasure. As he
grew older. and ever possessing a
venturesome spirit, he thought he
would pull off a job on his own ac-
count.
He spotted a. country store, where
the owner. after the free and easy
manner of the rustic region_ left'his
place of business open and unlocked
and gathered up most ofthe money
about the place some 815 or 816 and
made ready to depart. but there in
the doorway stood the merchant,
ready to pounce down upon him.
The lad—then about fiftccn~leaped
through a window and rushed down
the street. Half a. dozen men caught
him, and Abe Buzzard was sent to
the Lancaster Jail for eighteen
months.
The young fellow made up his
mind to follow forever afterward the
straight and narrow path. It is
quite likely the world would never
have heard’of Abe Buzzard if one
thing had not happened. As he.
came down the road from the jail
he saw a farmer working in the field
so he asked him for a job. “If I givo
you a Job." said the farmer. "the
neighbors will talk about me."
Abe‘s good resolutions vanished
before the coldheartedness of the
farmer, and he returned to thieving
throughout the countryside and
again fell afoul of the law. Again
he was sent back to the Lancaster
Prison but this time he brothers
Ike. John and Martin were with
him. Each day the Buzzards work-
ed in the basketmaking department.
Abe by this time had grown clever.
He studied out a way of‘escaping.
He took the knives furnished for.
cutting the basket-making material
and cut a hole through the roof of
the prison. The Buzzard brothers
escaped.
Abe went to Baltimore. getting a
job in an iron mine situated a few
miles outside the city. A fellow by
the name of Marshall become his
buddy. About four miles from the
mine was a. hotel and there Buzzard
and Marshall used to play cards. It
was here Buzzard learned a new
vice—to gamble. One day there was
a. dispute over the pot, and one of
the gamblers laid hold of Abe and
jammed his head up against the
porch, but Abe took a. razor from
his pocket and cut the man until
he let go of him. This aroused the
men to the mine. and the feeling
ran so high against Buzzard and
Marshall that they had to ,depart
rather hastily. _
The‘ two returned to Sunburn
They got a job with a farmer cut-
ting corn. The job was finished.
They had been warned that the
farmer was slow pay. They waited
a week for their money and yet was
not forthcoming. Then the farmer
wanted to charge them board for
the week they had leafed at his
place. The two men decided to set

so they left early one evening, take
The farmer discovered his loss be
fore morning and pursuers were
soon upon the trail of Buzzard load
Marshall. They were caught and
the Judge sent them to Sunbury Jail.
Abe was able to pry off the bars of
his cell window with a plank taken
from the floor. With two blankets
tied end to end he was soon in the
courtyard. He' gathered several
other convicts together, but the
clanking of the chains fastened to

made his escape. Marshall was less
fortunate, beings sent to the State
Penitentiary.
Abe Went back to his old stamp-
ing grounds in the Welsh Moutalns.
He hunted up his brother John. and
the two decided to go ‘West, reach-
ing Canton 0., before they decided
to retrace their steps. Back in Som-
erset County they resolved to bor-
row a. horse and buggy from some
farmer and ride all flight, turning
the rig loose at daybreak. Before
this could be done they were caught.
The two Buzzards were sentenced
to a. year in the 1‘ estern Peniten-
they were set free in eleven months.
The brothers thought that by this
time it would be safe to return to
the Welsh Mountains. which they
did. They were hunted men. so it
was impossible for them to earn an
,honest living hiring out with the
farmers. They robbed, but only to
eat. Finally. however, a farmer
whom they thought did not know
them gave them a job doing variobs
odd pobs about the place. Suddenly
the Sheriff came down on the Buz-
zards, taking them back to prison
on a charge of breaking Lancaster
Jail. This time they found no oppor-
tunity of prison breaking and serv-
ed too full years.
\V hon Abe had been given his free

cidcd tO go \Vcst again. On
the way Ike got into a fight with

tools. afterward using them to break
into a store in Reading. Abe and
Ike were arrested and, while inno-
cent, as was afterward proved by
the deathbed confessions of the real
culprits, were sent to the Reading
Jail. Ike got ten years and Abe
thirteen years.
For two years the brothers re—
mained in jail. Then came an op-
portunity to escape—one of the
most picturesque incidents in Abe's
long and varied career. The Buz:
zards had been taught the trade of
cigar-making. One day while busy
in the tobacco shop they cut a Male
through the roof, even as they had
done in the basket department of
the Lancaster Jail. Abe got the keys
from the wardcn's desk and went
about releasing the long-term pris-
oners—ton of them in all. The men
were on the wall before the delivery
was discovered. It was July and the
“heat was ripe in the fields adjoin-
ing the prison. The convicts crawl-
ed into the wheat and had there
been 100 policemrp searching for
them it would have been in vain.
Abe decided to go W'est. but. he
soon turned backward. building a
house of brushwood in the country
near Laurel. It was. in the midst
of winter. It was impossible to build
a. fire by day. for the smoke would
have betrayed his presence. Abe
nearly froze to death. The drifting
snow came into his rude but. cover-
ing him as he slept. His food he
secured by thicvery from the nonr-
by farms. Finally a company of
farmers deputizcd by the Sheriff
surrounded the swamp where the
brushwood house was situated. Buz-
zard, who was discouraged and em-
bittered and who never in all his
life came so near being an enemy
of the human race. welcomed a fight.
With rifle in hand, he broke through
the cordon of men. So great was
their terror atthe name of Abe
Buzzard that not one of them did
anything but gape at the fleeing ng~
ure. Not a. shot was fired.
Abe hunted up Ike.
One day when Abe and Ike came
to town for a card game they found
the police waiting for them. Both
were sent to Lancaster jail.
They had only been penned up a
short time when Ike——Ike this time
-—used his'brains and engineered an-
other Jall delivery. Ike and Abe
were both allowed to keep canary
birds in their cells. Ike asked the
watchman to take his bird and cage
into Abe's cell and swap cages. The
watchman did so. but he was so neg-
lectful as to leave Ike’s cell open.
Ike crept forth and as the watch—
man opened Abe's cell gave him a
shove. Abe jumped from the cell
and the watchman was locked in
the cage. As in former deliveries, a
number of men were released by Abe
ing a. coupl7 of the colts along with and Ike. _ , . .,_ , , ,_

The Vital Question.
(Philadelphia L‘edgch
The man who had made a huge
fortune was speaking a few words
to a number of students at a. busi-
ness class. Of course. the main
theme of his address was himself.
"All my success in life. all my tre-‘
mendous financial prestige," he said
proudly. "I owe to one thing alone—
pluck. pluck. pluck."
He made an impressive pause here,
but the effect was ruined by one
student, who asked impreseively:
"Yes. sir. but how are we to find
the right people to pluck?"
