As the story goes, two negroes, . Charley and Lewis Campbell, \ stopped on Saturday evening at McAlIen's place and asked for v wine, it being alleged that McAllen usually had more or less of ^ this commodity to spare. i.rr l m * >v nne mey were being served, | ^ two white men, Lester Hancock v \ and Olayton Hendrick drove up ( and were invited to get out and drink. They did so, it is alleged, j and after being served there was some discussion as to who should ^ 3land the next treat, though s there was no dispute over the matter. Mr. Hancock agreed to treat ! atul then, as the wine was being drawn, without cause and withnut warning, so far as is known K to tiie authorities, Charley f Campbell drew a revolver and began shooting, four balls tak- ^ ing effect in the body of Mr. Hancock. It is further alleged that as the wounded man was ^ falling, Lewis Campbell etruck him over the head with a quart bottle. u Mr. Hancock was attended by j Dr. Bull, of Oheraw, who pro ^ nou need the case hopeless. The patient live;! only a few 11 onr3 after being wounded. The dying statement of Mr. llaneock i? in substantial agree ment with the accounts of the tragedv given by both McAllen, wlio Sold the wine, and Clayton 1 Bendrick. The two Campbell brothers de 1 elare they wen; so drunk they j. did not know what they were do- ( ing and do not remember the . i vents of the evening. 1 Word of the tragedy was re- t ceived by the sherill at 11 p.m., ] Saturday, and at 1:15 a.m. Sun- j day, all parties involved were ( under arrest, Messrs. Abbot and McLanren assisting the sherill'. ' Charley Campbell is in jail, a charged with murder; Lewis c Campbell as accessory to the s murder. Clayton Hendrick is held under bond as a witness " and the McAllen negro is under heavy bond, charged with violating the excise law and maintaining a nuisence. >VEMBER arnnl; M i < q <* < > %>-?0 y-<*- ^ ^> & ? < icral Admission I T, Gen is, G1 Must Be Plaxed N< l air Will IS and enjoy yourse dends will be her I have a good t es Pageland each CE AND, PE Interest Still Centers * In Serbian Campaign The interest of the war during he past week remained with jperations in and around Serbia, vhere the Teutons and their Bulgarian allies are endeavoring to 'orce their way through to their Turkieh ally.
