KILLE)D BY CONVICT. W. A. Clyde Shot By a Negro Who Escaped Two Months Ago-An other Citizen Assaulted. The State. Sumter. Jan. 21.-Policeman Wm. A. Clyde of this city' was shot and killed last night about 12 o'clock by Toney Moses, colored, an escap -d convict, near Bossards, Sumter county. The newts of this deplorable tragedy was not known by the news paper correspondents of this city un til this morning. Moses escaped about two months ago from the Sumter chaingang. He was located last night at a house near Bo.sa rs. Omeer lyde and Constable Nunnamaker wei;t out to capturc he:., as a reward had been offered for his capture. The officers went to the house and demanded admittance. Mr.I Clyde went to one door a'l1 Mr. Nun namaker to another door. Mr. Clyde forced his way into the house with his charaeteiistic bravery and found Moses under a be'. He called upon Moses to come out and surrender. but Moses' reply was a shot from a shot gun, which took effeet in Mr. Clyde's abdomen. The popular and eflicient officer succumbed to the terrible wound within a few hours after. ex hibiting rare fortitude and forbear ance. Mr. Nunnamaker went to the assistance of his injured brother of ficer and medical assistance was se cured as soon as possible. Mr. Clyde meanwhile being taken to the house of Mr. Marion Dorn, whbre he died about 2 o''clock this morning. The affair has created consternation in this community and is regretted be yond expresion. Mr. Clyde's broth er officers of the Sumter police force are using every means to locate his murderer. but up to 8 o'clock tonight have not succeeded. as far as is known. Such affairs as the killing of an officer in this peaceful community are so unusual as to cause wide spread comment. While putblie sen timent is very bitter against Moses still it can not be said that excita ment runs high. The city of Sumter has offered a reward of $100 for the arrest of Mos es. Mr. Clyde's body was brought to Sumter today. Less than a month ago this genial and kind hearted officer's little 2 year-old child was burned to death. Mrs. Clyde has the heartfelt sym pathy of this entire c'ommu.nity. The coroner's jury returned a ver dict in .accordance with the facts, and implicated Daphne McDaniels, one of the women in the house at the time' of the shdoting, who was placed in ja" ""re feday. Another Crime. While Mr. Lawrence DuBose of the Meehaniesville see,t.ion was going down south Harvin st. last night at 7 o'cloek he was asaulted by a negro, and his skull crushed by a brick. He was taken to the Sumter hospital and is in a -very criti-cal condition, his skull being so erushed that it rests upon the brain and a very,.deli cate operaton had to be performed. Frlom all that can be learned of the affair Mr. DuBose was in com pansy with a Mr. Easterling and they were going"to the Goast Line passen ger depot. It is said that the n'agro ran against Mr. DusBose on thre street and then attacked Mr. DuxBose. Mr. Eas'terling went t~o the residence of Alderman P. P. Finn, told him of the attack. and asked that a physician b-e called, which was done immediately, Dr. Walter 'Cheyne responding. Easterling is said to have mysteri ously disappeared after the assu-lf, and it is allege4 he took the train. He is supposed to be from the Dal zell setion. This morning it was learned by the officers that one D-an Rdbinson, a colored man who runs on the North & Westfern train lbe tween Camden and Sumter, commit ted the assault. He did not return on the train as usual this morning and the Ca.mden officeers have been asked to capture him. He is said to have told some negroes at the depot that he assault ed a white man last night. Mr. DuBose is a son of Magistrate W. R. DuBose, Sr.. of Mechanies ville. this county, and a brother of Miss Addie DuBose of this city. Mr. DuBose 's condition is more favorable this evening and physicians hold out some slight hopes for his recovery. WYLIE UNDE ARREST. Another Director of Old State Dis pensary Under Bond?

" ttor:iey Gra-tt Carpenter accept ed an iin gitation to a Christmas din n - in Oakland, the hostess being a lay witi two grown daughters. Whicn the guests had assembied at ihi ;n:hle and were unfolding nap king the bestess surprised Carpen ter with a:1' un1exp}eted request that he say grace. There was a painful silence of a few moments. while the art rney did diligent thinking in an effort to reehl some long forgotten prayer of his e1dlhood days. The on1lv one that canie to him was that beinin. ''NoV L lay me down to sleep.'' However, his lawyer's wit came to his rescue and lie was ena bled to mumble something that sounded like a pious invocaation. After the dinner Carpenter asked one of the daughters of the hostess whether it was customiary in that household for guests to lead in pray er at :table. "Oh. no," she replied. Mamma is an atheist; but she was afraid you might be religious. "-San Fran eiso Call. WANTED-Our friends to call and :buy their cigars at Broaddus and Ruff's. LICENSE ORDINANCE.
