"Trouble in Lancaster."
Dr. Gardner on the Recent
Baker Mare Episode.
From the Greenwood Journal.
Our good friend, Editor C. T. |
Connors, of The News, relates a
most thrilling experience with
an old gray mare in that city one
day last week. The old lady got
frightened, and ran away with a
wagon loaded with barrels ot
water. It. seems that she had
two comely mule colts, and as
the old mare tlew down the
street, " Hilly Buck" heard the
colts that were following in the
wake of their excited dame use
profane words. Mr. Connors says:
"Those colts have not been
seen in town since, and, so far
as wo know, they may be still
running."
Since this sudden outbreak
over in Lancaster we learn that
Editor Connors had two moles
kiled by lightning. Mayhap uiey
are the profane young mules to
which he refers, or else it may
be that his mules had learned
the bad habit and called down
upon their heads a bolt from the
skies.
When we lived in Lancaster,
years ago, we knew that there
were some two legged profane
animals in that part of the country,
but we never heard of any
nvules that had fallen into the
habit.
<Jur iriencl liaa Detier lnvone
Balaam's ass 10 reprove the madness
ol men and animals in old
Lancaster who are going to the
bad. We are sure that he will
do what he can to check them,
and that ''Billy Buck" will
second his efforts most courageously.
Neighbors Fight about Chickens.
Spartanburg Herald.
Mr. A. Curtis Wall, who con
ducts a grocery store on North
Church street, was struck on the
head yesterday morning with a
rocx by .Mr. George Alexander,
who is a piano and machine
agent. Mr. Wall is seriously in
jured and is at present at the
hospital, his skull having been
indented by the impact of the
blow. An operation was performed
and at last accounts 11 e wounded
man was doing well, 'the at
tending physicians state that it
will be impossible to ascertain
the exact condition of Mr. Wall
for several days. 11 is skull is not
fractured as was at first thought,
but there was a deep dent made
in it.
The two men are neighbors
and reside on Park avenue. There
seems to have been had bio >d
between them for some time and
on other occasions they had had
difficulties. They fell out yesterday
morning over Rome chickens,
and scon became involved in h
fight. There is a live foot fence
between the premises of the men
and each standing in his own
yard commenced throwing rocks
at the other. There soeniR to have
been a good many stones thrown.
Mr. Alexander was struck once
on the head and once on the back.
One rock thrown by Alexander
struck Wall's head and the man
was immediately rendered unconscious.
lie was removed to
the hospital where he later regained
consciousness.
The Dispensary Investigation
?More Sensational Testimony.
Columbia Record.
Ex-Constable M. N. Bahr, ol
Charleston, and Chairman J. VV.
Rawlinson, of (he present board
ol dispensary directors, were on
the stand before (he dispensary
investigation committee t< day.
Bahr tesiified to seeing big
rolls of big bills, aggregating
probably $2,000, tossed on a table
at a Columbia hotel on one
occasion, by a whiskey drummer
for members of the board of
control present, but says ho did
not t-tay long enough to see who
trot the money. He said L. J.
\ i r: 11: t \ 11 it 1 1
triiii!UM?, uuuiey xiasseiuen,
Chris Robinson ami probably M.
R. Cooper, of (he purchasing
board (ben in ollice, being present.
He also testified (o being in a
bar iii Augusta when a whiskey
drummer threw down a biir roll
with $500 to $700 in it, in front
of Chairman II. LI. Evans, Chris
Robinson and L. .1. Williams,
laying there was no uso to go
home, to stay and enjoy the car
nival going on in Augusta at the
time, that there was plenty of
money to give them all a good
time. But he could not give the
name of the drummer, and did
not remember who picked up
the roll.
J. K. Vance was put up to
show Hub Evans's speculation
transactions, Mr. Vance being a
bucket shop man of Newberry,
but the committee would not
second Mr. Lyon's efforts to compel
Mr. Vance to produce his
books, and the witness could
not rem?mht?r nnv nmnnnis willi
out them. Besides there are other
concern* Mr. Evans migln have
dealt with in Newberry as well
as elsewhere.
Chairman Rawlincon, of the
present board, was put up, M.
Lyon trying to develop testimony
going to show that this board is
patronizing blacklisted concerns
under new names, has awarded
the glass contract without proper
regard lor the instructions
from the legislature, and has
relused informa'ion to the subcommittee
when it asked lor the
list o! award*.
W. W. Starr, a whiskey repo
sentativo of a Savannah boor
manufacturing concern, was the
lirst witness* up before the dispensary
investigating committee
tod a* .He had compa-at i ve analv
ses from a Chicago institute to
show that his beer was better
than beer bought by the old
board at a higher price than lie
hid. lie said his information was]
thai his bid was lower. Mr. Starr

George was too Late.
It was on a Sabbath morr
and George Murgatroyd, lia
ju^t turned over to sleep agaii
after making Jiis sixth resoh
tion to get up, says Tit Hits. Hi
the cry, fraught with anxiety an
trepidation, that came Ironi th
room below banished sleep it
stantly.
It was his wife's Voice?th
dear girl whom he had stole
from a parent's or rather tw
parent s'?care.
''George! Come quick !"
What could be tlie matter?
George ! Why don't you come
Come 1 Come !
In frantic haste he had on hi
trousers hind part belore an
his shirt was a wreck, but wha
of that? Like a Hash it came t
him, the tale ot yesterday, tol
by his little wife, at which h
had scofTed. A tale of a dar
brown man who came to reai
tlie gas meter, and who had be
haved so strangely that Maui
suspected him of being a burg
lar'd spy. The man had com
again?even now, perhaps
"George! If you don't com
it,11 be too late !"
What were collar studs noi
that he should search for then
With one bound he overturned
the rocking chair and smashe
the water jug; in another install
he collided with the open doo
<>t tne wardrobe; at tne ttnr
step he tripped over his brace
and came down on his elbow
and countenance.
"Courage, Maud 1" he cried
"I am coming I"
He was only a pale bookkeepei
and unarmed save with nature1
weapons, but not lor a monien
did he falter.
"You're too late," said Mauc
with a pretty pout, as Oeorg
dashed into the room with fir
in his eye that the blood on hi
face could not dim.
"What?where is he?" h
gasped, looking around, with a
awful faintness at tlie heart.
"I wanted you to see t he baby,
said she. in a disappointed voici
"He had his foot in his moutl
and you've no idea how prett
the little dear looked."

What did he gain by kiilin

Committing suicide did n<
