With respect to the origin of

but it appears that violent
trouble broke after a quarrel
between Docktor and several
bluejackets on .Beaufain Street,
near Charles. Bluejackets\ re
fused to-say what they knew
about it and liegr^ prisoners
and patient^ professed their
ignorance.

bluejackets in town on leave is

few minutes about 2,000 were
in the mob which shouted : * n Get
* i
the negroes,” ; and similar
phrases. Accqi-ding to the police
and other reports, several of
-South Carolina, xlied at his resi
dence on North Fair-view ave-^
uue, at <S ;30 o'clock. His death
was due to a complication of dis
eases resulting from a protracted
attack of Spanish influenza
which visited him early last De
cember and which held him in
its clutches for a little more than
two months. This dread disease
left him sorely weakened, and
when he was taken sick a little
over a week ago his condition
was grave from the first.
