Mr. Hayne Bufora, 'who is running as postal cle'A on the Atlantic Coast Line from Clumbia to' Charleston, was painfully injured at Acto.n, in 7 the lower part .of Richland county, on last Tuesday evening, by. being struck in the face by the glass pro- I vided on the side of the ear for i I to look through, which was'broken by coming in contact with the mail crane at Acton. Mr. Buford says the train was running very fast, and evi dently the crane was out of order, or the train would have 'passed it. It appears also that there was a. wire missing from the apparatus in the car which would have protected him. The glass cut Mr. Buford's face con siderably, and small pieces got into his eyes. He went on to Sumter, where he went to the hospital and remained over night. Mr. Buford's escape with as few injuries as he re ceived is very fortunate. Minmaugh's Big Sale..

Mr. Malcolm Johnstone, the young on of State Senator Alan Johnstone, was assaulted and seriously wound ed at a late hour on last Thursday aight as a result of his seeking to prevent the taking of a. horse from the premises in,,rear of the house. Eis assailants were three in num ber. None of.them.was recognized by Mr. Johnstone, the only descrip ion of any of. them which he could give being that one of them wore a light suit of .clothes. Mr. Johnstone's most serious in ury was to his. baek, although he tates he was :also struck in the iead. As a result of the injuries to is back, he was paralyzed in his lower limbs. . He has been steadily improving, and Dr. Ellesor, his physician, stated yesterday that - he aad excellent hopes of his complete recovery. Young Mr. Johnstone was spend ing the night at the liome of his tunt, Mrs. Clara McCrary, whose iome is near .the residence of Sena or Johnstone.. Mr. Johnstone had Yol$- into the house something after Ll o'clock, and was preparing to re ;ire, when he heard a noise which he :hought to come from the cotton iouse. He went out to . investigate, yut found no one in the -cotton house. Ee, however, heard a subdu6d. voice ,ay "whoa," and conoluded . that -ome one was at the stable. " Going to. ne. end of the passage ' running ;hrough the stable he saw a man eading a hores out of the other end. L'he man started off with. the horse md Mr. Johnstone hailed him,, and, -eceiving no response, he fired. The nan continued to go on with the iorse, going out towards .the "pasture, n the general direction of the rail oads. Mr. Johnstone followed him Md. fired again. About. fhis time ;he man was joined by two. compan ons, whom Mr. Johnstone had .not )efore observed, and .the..three start Ld towards him. Mr. Jobnstone tarted back towards the house. Af ;er. firing several shots at., -him his >ursuers overtook him, at .the steps eading from the pasture into the rard, near a. negro tenant house. 'here the assault oceurrd he' as. ;ailants then left, leaving'tle hoi-se. Mr. Johnstone was unconscious for ;ome time, but finally reveed sut eient consciousness to crw,to the ;enant house. Dr. Ellesor was snu ind r-eah g the . young man t oilt' 2:23 'clock. ,. Sheriff Buford went, out to see Mr. Johstone as soon as he hear4 of the ffair on-Friday, and had a..talk with ;he young man. He investigated .the >remses, and, though some. time had lapsed, he discovered the traeks of ;hree persons in a sand .bar leading ito the pasture-the tracks going oth ways in the general direction of he stable from the railroad ,and rie versa. Chief of Police John C. Adams and Policeman J. L. Dickert ilso went to the scene to investigate. Chief Adams also took up the mat ber with the railroad conductors, and earned that three men had left on he early C., N. & L. on Friday morn ng, ~going to Prosperity. One of hese men wore a light suit of elothes. Chief Adams went to Prosperity on Saturday morning, and he, with Chief if Police Workman, . of Prosperity, worked on the matter, learning that ;he three men were H. W. Welch, 3. W. Martin and .J. B. Williams, ho work at the Mollohon Mill, this -ity. They had been met at Pros erity by Hammet Martin, the rother of G. W. Martin, and with aim had -gone to Hammet Martin 's 2me. At about 11 o'clocK they phoned for Sheriff Buford to come with the warrants, and, not knowing the ames of the parties who ha:d, been suspected, Sheriff Buford had ficti tios names inserted in the warrants. Sheriff Buford secured an automo ile, driven by Mr. W. C. Waldro.p, and he and Chief Adams and Chief Workman went .towards Leesville. When near the home of Hammet iartin, which is about four miles from Leesville, they were informed hat Martin and the three Newberry men and two others had gone to Lees ville. The officers then went to Lees vile, where they enlisted the aelp of the Leesville chief of police. 'hey learned in Leesville that the six men in a two-horse, wagon had iriven to Dave Shealy 's home, at KCartha 's mill, and there the offi sers found them and the warrants were served. When arrested the six nen had their two-horse wagon iitched up, and were preparing to go ak to the home of Hammet Martin. The three men under arrest told he sheriff that they had some time go received an invitation to attend dance at Hammet Mai-tin's home n Fiday night and-a <neto Prosperity, and on to Hammet Mar-, tin's home for that purpose, being met at Prosperity by Hammet Mar tin, by previous arrangement made some time ago. For some reason, however, the dance did not material ize, and they were in hopes of get ting up another dance. When ar rested they had their musical in struments with them, and, as stated, they had started back to Hammet Martin's home from Dave Shealy's, having their team hitched up, and ready to go. The three 'men were brought- back by Sheriff Buford and Chief Work man. On account of lack of room in the car, Chief Adams e~Ane back by rail. Messrs. Welch, Martin and Wil liams were willin to return to New bery with the sheriff, but denied any knowledge of the affair in which young' Mr. Johnstone received his injuries. Their frierds say that it is a hardship that they should be thus arrested because they' happened to leave Newberry next morning, and because one of them happened to wear a light suit of clothes. The men were lodged in jail. They immediately secured the services of Eugene S. Blease, Esq., and were released by Magistrate Chappell on bond in. the sum of two hundred dol lars each.
