SOLDIERS BEAT UP AND ROB CIVILIAN Calhoun Man Stripped and Left in Wood?Arrest Assailants St. Matthews, June 12.?While on his way to Sandy Run Lutheran church today a young man by the iiame of Livingston was held up by three soldiers from Camp Jackson and brutally beaten, stripped of his clothing, robbed of the car in which he was riding, tied hands and feet and left in the woods. Young Livingston was engaged in carrying relatives to and from church. He had J ~1 ??~ wAAnlfi V?rvmo 45nrl JrtltLG II bUillV Ui. iHO ^/W|/4V ?IVM*V w*?v. was returning for another load. He overtook the three soldiers and was ordered to stop. They got in the car, taking the back seat. After they had got in, one of them struck Livingston in the head with a pistol, rendering him unconscious. They then took charge of the car and drove into the woods near Cridois' springs on the state road. The 'boy was stripped of his clothing and tied hand and foot. He was then left. After the party had gone the boy regained /?onsciousness. worked himself free and went to a negro house and gave the alarm. Sheriff Hill was immediately notified and was soon upon the scene. Upon his arrival he was informed that the soldiers in the stolen car had already passed through St. Matthews and were on their way toward Charleston. He communicated at once with citizens at Elloree, who waylaid the road. In a few minutes the soldiers appeared. Majgistrate Evans and Rural Policeman BaUard had assembled a good force, and when the Boldiers appeared -found themselves at once in their clutches. Sheriff Hill was soon on the scene and arrived at Elloree within a few minutes after the soldiers were arrested. They had in their possession an ordinary .32 Smith and Wesson pistol, two hand bags and the clothes of the assaulted boy. The men admitted the assault and made statement, giving their names, addresses and the details of the affair, as above related. The names as given* are Herbert Annie, Brockton, Mass.; Leslie W. Edson, Whitman, Mass.; G. B. Logan Eureka, Cal. Logan says that he is the one that 6truck the boy, but says that the others assisted in the other parts of the affair. The entire community at Sajidy Run at once turned out to give the sheriff all assistance possible and the sheriff states that coorperation on the part of citizens both at Sandy Run and Elloree was splendid.

His father had a worried look on his face and was saying to Bobbie's mother, "I am missing more logs from the wood ! lot next to the mill. I have some very valuable trees, and I am afraid that i if nothing is done to stop these men, ' all of the trees will disappear." ' Bobbie's mother tried to think of ' some way in which she could help i ! her husband and finally asked, "couldn't you send one of your men to the ! lot and let him watch until the theives come?" I had thought of that but all of the men are needed at the saw-mill. I don't seen any way of catching the rascals at present. Bobbie thought to himself as he finished his breakfast. "Oh! what an adventure it would be for me, if I could fall upon the men while they I are at their work, and make them my captives, like the heroes in all my ' " ' it- 1 storyDooKS. now me wys at m;uwi will envy me! How everybody will say of me, as I pass by, ^here is the brave boy who captured the thieves in his father's wood-lot." As he walked along the path from the mill, through the forest, Bobbie was still thinking of what his father had said that morning. Suddenly he stopped. There, only about fifty yards away, were two men, busily loading a wagon with some of his father's finest logs. All of his manly visions flew away and his first thought wa& to run. But after regarding them in silence for a few minutes, an idea came into his busy little brain, and it was all he could do to keep from shouting. Going>up to the men, he said, quite boisterously, "Hello there! what are you fellows taking those bum logs for, why, if you would keep your eyes open you could see that there are plenty of trees around here that would make those logs look like' scrubs." As the men looked up, Bobbie's heart sank. He had expected to see harsh, coarse looking men, but not such villianous brutes as these. His knees shook, but he managed to keep his bold appearance. One of the men said, "who are you and what trap do you think you are going to ldad us into?" Bobbie replied, as boisterously as before and his conscience did not give him a thought, "Oh, I hired out to the boss of this wood lot, but he got too rough and gave me too much work to do, so I've quit. I'm going to join some gang like yours and help clean up this lot for the boss, just to get even with him." , The men were fully convinced when Bobbie had finished, that he was telling the truth and would not get them into any trouble. One of them said, "Well, since you are going to join a gang, it mighgt as well be ours as anybody elese's and you can take us to those trees now, I guess." Bobbie was breathless with excitement as he started out in the. head of the men. He went straight for the heart of the woods, but led them round so that after a while they were , going in an entirely new direction. The men grumbled at the distance to I the trees and threatened to go back ! to the one3 they had left, but Bobbie told them that they were almost there Just then they came into a clearing, ! and the two thieves found themselves ! surrounded by the workmen of the . camp. Bobbie walked up to his father and . said proudly, "Father, here are the [ thieves; I have captured them for you." r ?Sarah Leslie, IX. f . i i NOTICE!

He added he did not consider the situation grave and said the entire cabinet was in absolute agreement with the policy outlined by President Obregon.
