STILL AFTER ASSAILANT. Danger of Race Trouble at Bluiiton rtmfimip Search JL WCC\U? ?. v.'v- v..- v . - ? for Negro Charged with Assault. Ridgeland, June 12.?The town of Bluffton has again become a quiet j little village. The excitement is fas: j dying down, anu the negroes are going about their work as usual today. Except for the determined look on the faces of .the white men of Bluffton one could not tell that anything unusual had happened to the quaint old village, although th posses are still out in every direction searching for the negro culprit who attempted the criminal assualt on one of :he most prominent ladies of Bluffton. The men who rushed to Bluffton yesterday from Ridgeland in automobiles to render all possible aid in case of a race j riot, which was feared, are beginning j to return, yet a great many are rc- I maining to join the citizens and men ' . ~ .. I of the vicinity in the searcn lor rne negro, which 'they say that they will keep up until the n^gro is found, j Sheriff Porter, of Jasper, is still ge. the job and will remain in Bluffton for a few days. A coroner's inquest was held over the body of the negro. William Jack- j son, who was shot and instantly killed by Stat-: Detective E. F. Hammond this morning, when Jackson resisted arrest by running from 'the officer, onH rV>o frtllnwinor vprHipf has hppn ! rendered by the jury: j Verdict of Coroner's Jurv. * .'We, tlie jury, find that William j Jackson came to his death by a gunshot wound at the hands of E. F. Hammond, State constable, in the disi charge of his duty. (Signed) "J. E. .Mason, Foreman.''! The negro constable who went to Bluffton with the Beaufort naval reserve boat to help put the "blind tigers" out of commission and who was at first thought to have made the attempted assault, has been found. Immediately after the alarm was given he was carried before the lady and she stated that he was not the negro. He was then turned loose, but he stated that he commenced -to plan his escape at once, in fear of further trouble. He secured a boat and went to Palmetto Bluff, the winter home of R. T. Wilson, Esq., a Northern millionaire, and there he was found by a searching party, but he has again been released, as an paincs enc i?\j > oui ^ that he is not the negro wanted. Presence Had Good Effect. The Beaufort Naval Reserves, which was ordered to Bluffton last night by Governor Blease, has returned from the scens of trouble, but their appearance in Bluff:on did more to place the negro:s under subjection than anything else. It is the general opinion that if the negroes had not known of their coming a race riot would x 3 have been tne resiui yesieruaj ancinoon and last night. Sheriff H. 0. D. White has returned .to Beaufort, but left some of his extra deputies to aid in the search. The negro who was arrested in Ridgeland yesterday morning by the chief of police has been turned out of jail upon failure of parties from Bluffton to identify him as the right negro. Yet it is stated that he came nearer to the description than any of the many negroes who have been arrested This negro also proved a complete alibi. MODERN RIP VAX 1VINKLE. Among the problems winch have baffled modern doctors and scientists is that presented by people who have fallen into trances and remained asleep for a number of years, defying all the efforts of the greatest savants to awake them from their heavy slumbers. One of the most remarkable of these cases is that of Caroline Ollson, a native of the little island of Okuo, off the coast of Sweden, who fell asleep in 1875 and did not awak-e until 1907. The case was recently dishv nr Prod firsr rom. of Paris. V/ U OU \> U *-? J - . ? - ? ?- ? - r _ who made a detailed examination of the case. It appears that for the first 14 years of her life Carolina Ollson was in perfect health. Then she fell ill and ultimately sank into a trance, F^vr. Ti-iiinh tin nnp rould awaken her. i 11UI11 ITUIV" "V iFood was artificial!}* administered, and for years she exhibited no interest in any one or anything. Then suddenly she awoke, and the most careful examination failed to reveal the slightest weakness or mental defect. Since then she has enjoyed exceptionally good health. This seems to be the longest nap on record, although there have been several instances of sleeps lasting 20 years. Another case in which the sle per regained ndrmal health is that reported from Minnesta, where a Ger- i man some time ago completed a sleep j which, with :lie exception of a soli- j tarv week. continued for years. lf.-> j v n4 '> s1 < auite natjiralK on j \ V night, but the following morning re- ' mained in bed, and from that time for over a score of years he scarcely ever roused except for the purpose of being fed with his diet, consisting of a little milk which was poured down his throat. Immediately tnis was done j he was fast asleep again. Doctors utterlv failed either to account for i this or to arouse him thoroughly, and not even electric shocks would awak-I ; en him. Ultimately he awoke of his j own accord and soon regained his ; lost strength. Equally remarkable was the case of ! Margaret Bonyenval, the "dormouse of Menelies," as she was known, who, after bein? in a trance for 20 years, died in 1903. In 1SS3, when 21 years ; of age, she became unconscious as the 1 | result of a practical jok^ played upon | her by a friend, and was never again aroused from her comatose state. She j was fed by a tube, and after a time V\a?-?a ivirt -IV>a rvi ncf.+o llr 2r\ _r*f WftniflTl r>Tl lauot-tuiuvu \s*. ?? w~ the continent. Medical cek-brities from all over the world visited her, but failed to diagnose her particular j case or bring about any remedy. In i another case a young woman who ! had'be-en asleep for-17 years awoke suddenly at the sound of a bell which ? 1- ? - ? - ? ? I ?? J A Vv /-\ a * % (r f A T* sue luiagiueu n&u uccn i ui^ iwi I breakfast. This calls to mind the case of the woman in Belgium, who, after being asleep for 17 years was aroused' by the discordant bells ringing in consequence of an outbreak of fire. When she awoke she was in perfect normal condition in mind and body, present-ed a healthy appearance, and remembered perfectly events which had takovi 17 vpare nreviouslv. F "*"1 w* Spain comes the story of the wife oi i. | farmer near Burgos, who was some { time ago awakened from a trance j which had lasted 31 years. The case j was under the close observation of j medical experts during the whole of that time, and various means were employed to restore her to consciousnocc hut thpv failed TTltimatelv she regain-ed her senses and remembered distinctly incidents of her girlhood.?

Medium Tells How to Go Into a Trance land Asserts 3Iany Have Pysehic Powers. What is a clairvoyant, anyway? According to a spiritualist medium in West Madison street, a clairvoyant may be a clairvoyant, or a spiritualist; may be a clairvoyant. "Frequently,!, however," asserted the medium, por- J; tentously, "a clairvoyant is?just aj( clairvoyant." The remarks of ihe west!, side medium were inspired by State's 1 Attorney Hovne's investigation of the |j illotrorl "flnirvnva?if trust" arid W5rfth uttered in defence of the sipirtualist, j; with whom, he insisted, too many per- < sons were inclined to associate the or- j < dinary run of clainoyants. "You see, i anybody may be a clairvoyant," he ex- j] ! plained when visited by a reporter, i says the Chicago Daily News. ill You May be a Clairvoyant. "You may be one, I may be on<?? ( anybody is a clairvoyant who is able 1 to look aneaa a nine, u is usuan^ i called common sense, however. Now, < the spiritualist operates differently. I j j don't use- the tablet trick. I don't 1 claim to raise a spirit Who will walk i in and shake hands with you. c "I simply go into a trance?at will? ;< and communicate with the spirit '( world, the life beyond death. Through i me the spirits speak and my client ( receives his or ber information. ] Sometimes?though not often it is in- t I correct. We are not infallible. Usually i it is correct, the client is satished, ] pays 'his fee and goes. If he does not : i believe what he learns he is at liber- j ty?as in all stores?to go elsewhere." z How to Go Into a Tiunce. c "How do you go iuto a trance?" g "Watch me! Now, I pass my hands t across my eyes?thus?several times, c It comes at will. Watch my eyes! s Ah, you see? There?now, it is gc: r But it was an effort to fight it ba<_.\. ? I almost went into a trance in a c moment. Doubtless you noticed the c look in my eyes? Yes, that is the way t it is done." I "What sort of questions do you an- t swer t j t ''Most anything. I have found stolen j t goods for sorrowing owners in sever- i ^ i al instances. Once a watch disappear- [2 od. The woman came to me. I went f into an unconscious state. Behold, s I saw the boy who had it?he lived in , c the- neighborhood?we found him?we t recovered the watch!" s The seer admits that he cannot communicate with Alexander the I Great or George Washington. The j reason for this is that they are notj" ;S mends or nis. "A medium ope^at^s chiefly through his spirit friends," he explained. "A friend will, of course, help him most. 1 Wow, I get best results through my mother." The medium l<r back in his chair ai.-I smiled rsn.'uisccn^y. "It is a gift," he murmured; "a wonderful gift. It cannot b3 acquired.

It was in a court room, after his arrest. I went down to hear the trial. I remem-1 ber he was a stout ms.n. "Please understand, I use no tricks I ir my profession. My retiring room is free from magical apparatus. I go into a trance in front of my clients. My fees are small?and I do not promise to make money for my customers 1 if they will turn their savings over to ' me." Additional evidence tending to establish the fact that aiembers of the clairvoyant trust and the "wire tap- . pers" were allied, in iheir operations, ] which are said to hi ve netted them approximately $50,000 in Chi::ago during the last eighteen months, was un* * ' - 1 1 nff A/lVl eartnea today Dy utictinca auamcu to the State's attorney's office.
