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. The men are tonight in jail
here under warrants charging them
with the offense. Considerable excitement
prevailed for a time
throughout the community.

| BOBBIE'S ADVENTURE
t (Proper Gander)
Bobbie slipped quietly into his seat
at the breakfast table. 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."

I DOES NOT REGARD
| MEXICAN-AMERICAN
SITUATION GRAVE
| Mexico City, June 11.?P. Elias
Calles, secretary of the interior,
who returned yesterday from an extensive
trip throughout the republic,
expressed optimism over the
l situation which has arisen between
| the United States and Mexico relai
tive to recognition being extended
] the Obregon government.
"I am absolutely sure," said the
1 secretary, "that President Obregon
j will be able to resolve the so-called
| conflict with the United States
] without disparagment of himself or
the nation."
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.
Charges that he is sympathetic
with the Bolsheviki have been made
against Secretary Calles, but he dismissed
these allegations as "inconsequential,"
explaining, however,
that he was "a friend of the proletariat
and will defend it, but always
within the law."
The entire nation has been pacified,
the secretary asserted and is
returning to the paths of peace. He
asd he would make a detailed report
of his trip at today's cabinet meeting,
at which international affairs
may be discussed.
