> K(.RO TAKE\ FKOM JAIL; iTi TO IN WOODS | 1: J*hn Feldfr is Slain by .Mob Near Nornay Alter Keiiiur Arrested on l Charge of Obtaining .Money S I'nder False Pretenses. g l Norway, Dec. 21.?In jail on the v charge of obtaining money under false v pretenses, John Felder, a negro, was j taken frotii the guardhouse here last) night and slain at a spot about twoit miles frcm this town. The negro was 1 ? shot in the- head several times and t, broken pieces of a revolver butt indi - j r cate that he was severely beaten about i the head. Xo motive has been as-' j signed for the killing of the negro. It ^ is certai.i that the charge under which i he was incarcerated did not figure, for , V that had been settled or was on the . eve of being disposed of. The negro was arres-ted Friday by i I v Magistrate Tyler on a warrant sworn J out by J. R. Leyseth, of North. The; negro had contracted to work on the i ^ farm of S. D. M. Guess and son at; ( Denmark for th^ next year and Mr.? t Leyseth, learning this, communicated', with the Messrs. Gue-:s. They agreed ! ( to reimburse Mr. Leysath. During the early evening two sons of the negro came to the Messrs. Gue^s and urged them to ;peed in securing-the release, ^ of their father as they feared that1 ] harm would come to him if he had to j remain in the Norway guardhouse over | night. The events of the night showed that , their fears were well founded. Some t time between sunset and sunrise a party of men broke in the guardhouse and t secured the negro. He was taken some j two miles from the city, wnere nis j , hands were tied before him and his': body was riddled with, bullets. Either j1 before or after the shooting the victim j was horribly beaten about the head:, with the ,butt end of revolvers. 11 A large bla?k dog was found guard- j ( ing the body of the slain negro this j \ morning. The animal did not belong' f to the negro nor can any one be found j f who can name the owner of the sym- j 3 pathetic canine. j v 1 The motive for the killing or thej I negro is a mystery. It is conceded by | ? all that the killing did not result from t the Leyseth arrest as this -was amicably settled in the early evening. It is eaid that a few days ago the. negro and a white man engaged in an1 alter- ^ cation in which the negro drew a re- j volver and used some ugly threats but j the story is not confirmed, nor cam the name of the white man involved 1 toe ascertained. j ^ I A coroners jury was secured and r an inquest instituted but for lack of j ' witnesses it was necessarily postponed ^ until Tuesday. The hearing will be 3 resumed at that time. Sheriff Salley c came to Norway from Orangeburg this | s afternoon and spent some time in an j investigation before returning to the |e county sent. A significant clue is me * fact that evidence of only two buggy A tracks can be found leading from the i jail and the "mob" must have been a: t small one to use but two conveyances, j ^ |t PUBLIC MUST WAIT, SAYS WILSOS. ^ | President-Elect Declares He Will j Keep Strict Silence About Appointments for Present. !1 Trenton, N.

I will wait until pretty late. The time will depend somewhat on the number of written communications received. All these letters recommending individuals for office are being grouped and will be taken up separate ly." If Consideration for AIL Mr. Wilson indicated he would not feel at liberty to make final decision until the merits of all possible candi- ] dates had been set forth to him. "What I am sincerely trying to do," he added, "is to see the field of choice and try to get as many opinions a3 t possible that are worth while." c The president-elect likewise-srade It s clear that though gossip i^ay be heard j far and wide, he would maintain a pol- j r icy of silence and nothing would be I r definitely established until he made tie r r i f iiiioiiiK. ,iii ;!is over iii.-, o\v:: ^iui .. Mr. Wilson was asked ii lie beiiewd I it- would encounter any difliculty in I ;ettlng the men desired for cabin-1! ortfolics to accept.

Expects >o Such Trouble. "That has not been my experience j bus lar," replied the governor with j i smile. "I've asked some people and! hey have been quite ready with their tames." The governor received a call from lolla Wells, treasurer of the national democratic committee and former uayor St. Louis, who brought a bound "olume showing campaign contribuions and expenditures, a lac simle of vhich recently was hied with the clerk ( ?i tiic house of representatives. The governor pointed with evident! jride to the neat tabulations of the | expenditures and contributions with: he thousands of names and items. "I venture to say," he -aid, "that j t is a better looking report than the 1 )ther two fellows filed. It is the best j onsnectus of its kind I've ever seen ; md it is an interesting document, bo- j iause its the first report under the! law requiring trie publicity of campaigns." His Duty Performed. >lr. Wells said as he left the govsrnor's office that he had come merely lo have the satisfaction of preseuilng :he report in person in the presidentelect. He was asked if he would con- j inue in national politics. "No, I merely did a specific duty to ' i o 11 .pjI " hp said ''and do VY X n ao V/fciiAvA*, ? lot expect to take an active part any nore." The governor seemed to be pleased j vith the wide territorial support tbat he' financial side of the campaign re-1 ;eived. He raised his finger over the!, ist of places, calling attention to the act that contributions were reic.'ved mm Americans in Canada, China,; Jexico, Ireland, Egypt, Ecuador, Ha- ! vaii, Panama, Cuba, Hondura-j, 'he J 5hiiippines and Porto Rico. Thesej oreign contributions totalled more! han $2,500. j' HOBO MAKES HIMSELF AT HOME. Voman's Rase Works, However, and Police Get Intruder. Yonkers, N. Y., Dec. 20.?When Mrs. Arthur J.
