Depnty All Killed by JefFcoa'
The Story of the AtTuir as Obtain
e?l Via Augusta. The Fugitive
a Desperate M?n.
The State, 24th.
The governor heard nothing
more yesterday of the JefTcoul ?f
fair in Aiken.
The State's correspondent at
Augusta sends the story below,
giving some further information.
Though .leffcont is claimed in the
story as u Georgian, he is u South
Carolinian unfortunately, and is
known as a desperado. The facts
presented to the governor show
that ho has been operating at the
head^f a gang of horse thieves in
Aiken county for sonic time and
only last week the reward refer
red to yesterday was ottered
Hero is what the corre pondent
savs, however:
"Georgia has produced a veritable
Tracey, who has crossed
over into Carolina anil has worked
the authorities of that State to
a fever heat.
"Charlie Jeffcoat was being
chased by a sheriff in the Southern
part of Georgia last week for
horse stealing and when lie got too
close for the welfare of the fugitive
Jetlcout turned on him and
shot him. The criminal then
crossed the river to Aiken county
and the chase was taken up by
Sheriff Alderman of Aiken and
Deputy All with bloodhounds.
Yesterday morning some lime
they struck the criminal's trail
fire and ran- The posse, headed
by All, pursued. All was mounted.
He gained on the fugitive
and was about to run him down
when JclTcoat dodged to one side.
As All went by the desperado shot
him in the back. All fell and
died in u few minutes, and Jeffcoat
escaped into the woods.
Sheriff Alderman with a large
posse and hounds is in pursuit.
All's body has been taken back to
Aiken
Jelfeoat's Bloody Record.
Savannah, (ia., duly 23.?
News reaches here tonight from
Aiken, S. C , that Deputy Sheriff
All of Aiken county, S. C., was
killed last night by the desperado
Jahnaon, Alias Jeffcoat, who,
four months ago, killed a man
named Wilson at Herndon, Ua.,
and on July 16, killed Deputy
Sheriff Joe Flanders, who tried to
arrtJisi mill near rtl 1<1 VII10, tia. Alter
the murder of Deputy Flanders,
.J effcoat escaped into Ogeechce
river swamp. Ho was next
heard of in Aiken county, 8. 0.,
a few days ago. Deputy SheritT
Chester All located him, and with
a posse went to arrest him. As
the party rode to the house where
Jeffcoat was stopping he opened
by the people of the several
States, reciprocity with Cuba, as
against Republican *20 per cent.'
specious reciprocity and the maintenance
of the personal liberty of
the citizens. These are issues,
among others, upon which there
is no division of sentiment a liong
Democrats and upon which all
can unite, North, South, East and
W est. That the Democracy of
the whole country may be united
in the great contests which await
us, and that Democratic principles
muy l?o once more triumphant
in the nation is my sincere
wish."

should go hand in hand, there nee
be no clash between them. Strike

placed ubove the man labor assert
her power. The Teamsters' strike
of Chicago almost famished a cit,

been made issues in the halls o
State and nation. We have educate<
the people as no other organize
