Last Saturday morning Policeman Hug gins received a telegram from C. L. WVil hamnson, of Gaillards X roads, Sumter county, giving description of a mule that was stolen. Later in the day Messrs J W Huggins and J A Alsbrook brought to town a mnuie that answered the description, an d which they had :'und loose in their field early in the morning, and in the road they found a buggy w:th harness. Evidently when the thieves reached that point they stripped the mule and turned him loose. It is supposed that Bill Dixon and his con federates brought the mule and buggy, as the buggy was found not far fro'm where these "escapes" were seen. A party came from Sumnter, identified the property ad took it home. 'rhe mule belonged to Capt. Charlie Williamson, the buggy to one neighbor and the harness to another.

About the time we bad our forms locked up last week to go to press, the shocking news oi the tragic death of Dr. I. B. Lor Yea ieached us and particulars were not obtainable, not even the grief-stricken fatilly knew, we therefore were unable to give our readers any more than the sub stance of the telegram. Last Thursday the family, accompanied by the Knight of Pvtbias of which the de ceased was a prominent member and a number of friends, went to Sumter to at tend the funeral of this lamented young man, and from what we could gather from those who had talked with Mr. J. E. Bar nett, a brother-in-law, and who was one of the patty of which Dr. Lorvca was a uc-ea ber, the circumstances were about as fol low,-: On Tuesday morning, August 22, about 10 o'clock Dr. Loryea left his friendsat the Skyuka hotel, a hostelry situated in the mountains about eight miles from Tryon, N. C., to go out sight-seeing and was to be back for dinner. The heat was iatense and when the deceased failed to return at the expected time, the matter was reported to the hotel office and some one was sent out in search of him, without result. This caused alarm, and a searching party went out: they, too, failed to find h:m, iut they met people who bad seen him and heard him inquiring the way to the hotel. It was learned that about midday Dr. Loryea went to a house occupied by two old wo men, and from them he obtained permis sion to rest on their piazza, he complain ing of feeling unwell, and after resting for some time he rose, saying that he felt bet ter, and after thanking the people, asked to be directed to his hotel. The women direted him and after he had been gone some time, one of them went to a spring near by and discovered the body lying near the spring and his handkerchief hang ing over into the spring. She at once staited to give the alarm, when on her way she overtook a wagon going in the direc ion of the hotel, and she told the driver who promised to notify the people at the hotel. It was between 8 and 9 o'clock when the body was found and gotten back to the ho tel and the proprietor accompanied the re mains to Sumter. The supposition is, that he, being nearsighted, lost his way, and the rambling about over the hills in the intense heat was overcome, and when he reached the spring drank freely of the cold water which brought on something like. congestion. It will never be known just how this young man lost his life. Reuben B3. Loryea was born in Charles ton in 1865, attended the public schools of that city, and after moving to Manning with his parents, entered the drug store of Din~ns & Co., as an apprentice. lie was a diligent student and faithful clerk, hav ing won the confidence and esteem of his employers that when one of the firm with drew to engage in other business, Loryea was taken in as a partner. He finished his studies at the Charleston Medical College and became one of the most expeit phar macists in the State. His reputation was high among his profession; although a young man he was one of the vice presi dents of the State P'harmaceutical Associa tion, also secretary of the State Board of Examiners. As a druggist the people had the utmost confidence in his ability. He was pains taking and very jealous of his reputation. and by his close attention he built up a very pretty business which stands among the best in the financial world. As a citizen Manning met with a severe loss in his death, intelligent and social, public spirited, in fact his qualities were worthy of imitation. Dr. Loryea, was a strict religionist; he endeavored to live up to the faith of his fathers, and at he same time he was broad in his views towards other creeds. He will long be missed. The deceased was a past Chancellor of Damon Lodge No. 13 Knights of Phytias, and from that lodge a delegation attended the funeral. The delegation consisted of Chancellor Commander P. B. Thames, Past Chancellors Joseph Sprott. J. Hi. Lesesne, J. H. Rigby, J .5. Wilson W. C. Davis and, Knights P. B3. Mouzon, E, J. I'rowne, W. E. Jenkinson, F. P. Ervin, Drs. C. B. and J. F. Geiger, S. R. Venning and R. M. Strange. Messrs F. N. Wilson and Louis Appelt accompanied them. The funeral services were held at the Jewsh cemetery, and the burial service was read by Hon. Altamont Moses, after which the Pythian burial service wvas held, con ducted by Past Chancellor Joseph Sprott. Te pall-bearers were Messrs. F. N. Wilson of Manning; Julian A. Barbot, of Charles ton; W. R. Delgar, Louis Loyns, Mitchell Levi, Rapheal Moise, I. Harby Moses, and V. H. Phelps of Sumter. A Mother TVells How She Saved Her Little Daughter's Lire. I am the mother of eight children and have had a great deal of experience witth medicines. List summer my little daugh ter had the dysentery in its worst form. We thought she would die. I trned every Ithing I could think of, bat nothing seemed to do her any good. I saw by an adver tisement in our paper that Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy was highly recommended and sent and got a bottle at once. It proved to be one of the very best medicines we ever had in the hose. It saved my little daughter's life. I am anxious for every mother to know what an excellent medicine it is. Had I known it at first it would have saved me a great deal of anxiety and my little daugh ter much suffering. Yours truly, Mrs. Geo. F. Burdick, Liberty, RI. I. For sale by R1. B. Loryea, druggist.

A Dariint Oficer - Constable Tohias Probably Murdered. Aliont i week a Scirit lradhami was niotilled, of thet o!p of Wilhaail ilxn fromt the Ipenitevi nary :uthorities. They had him out on a farm in York county after being warned of his escaping proclivities, and on the 21st diy of August Dixon and three other vrisoners made good their es cape. L-tst Saturiay morning a colored mi-n in ti: employ of Thomas and Brad hain canm' froI the farm juist over the swamp andI reportid hiving seen Williamn Dixon an.1 two othirs with him:i1. g olni in to tli swam.nip. II also brought oer a b. of todls that h- hal !0!1:. A reward of $o for eacih if thi' iep ha I been oifered by the atnliori:s, an 1 when Sny-rvisor OWens was told of their having been seen, he ser~t a Itelograi to C iinbia asking: for bloLo,iiunds to track the mien in the swamp, a repi ctin that they had no dogs. lie then seLt a message to Jordan where he has do-; which have not yet been fully trained. but these did not turn up . A party comuposed of Messrs. Allen Alsbrook, John Haggins and Pat McLeod went over the swamip. near to the place in dicated by the boy after dark to do patrol work, and while they were at their stations Constable S. T. Tobias came up and joined them. The pairty raided a house and saw s.igns where people Lad been; they con tinued thir watch until about daylight. Several times during the early hours of the morning Mr. Tobias decided to go hom., compl aing of headache, but he was per suaded to remain longer, and a little before 4o'clock Mr. McLeod rode home to go to Jordan for the d:gs; not long after that Mr. Tobias determined to leave, and before do ing so, cautioned Alsbrook and luggins if they run up on Dixon and his "pals." not to shoot if they could possible avoid it, but if they had to shoot, to cripple them not kill them. le then went on down the railroad track and reached the third trestle from Manning, when he met some people with boxes and bundles. le ordered them to halt and he was shot at twice and then knocked down. Tobias in some un accountable way, although desperately wounded, raaniaged to get on to Manning until lie reached W. S. Harvin's ofice, where he lay down on the porch, and was found by the watchman, who awoke people and sent them for a doctor. When Dr. Brown reached him he had lost a great deal of blood; on examination the right side of the head showed that the skull was crushed as if with somei heavy,dull instrument, and people differ whether the wound was from a gun shot or a ritle barrel. When Mr. Tobias was reached he was very weak but conscious and he told those about him that he "met two men, ordered them to halt, they shot me twice, and hit me." Early Sunday morning the news of the occurrence reached Sheriff Bradham and he immediately went to the telegraph of fice to try if possible to get hounds from some quarter. At the same time he put men out on horseback to summons peoele to aid him in the capture of the despers does. A guard was placed at the trestle where Mr. Tobias was struck down to keep people from obliterating the tracks, and in the course of a few hours a large number of armed men gathered at the depot. The sheriff not being able to get dogs, divided the men out in squads, and on the arrival of dogs from Jordan they went on for the search. A heavy rain had set in and this operated against the searching party, but the dogs when they were put on the trail, ran on and found a valise with shoe- and other articles that had been stolen from the depot the night before. The house of Mr. W. G. King had also be-n entered on Sat urday night and among the articles taken was a pair or shoes belonging to Mr. King and a bottle of malt whicfl Mr. King had for his sick father-in-law. The malt bottle was found on the railroad track, and down the embankment by a log is where the can ned goods had been eaten, evidently by the parties that struck Mr. Tobias. On the trestle where Mr. Tobias had his desperate encounter tbe ties were clotted with blood, and on the track blood was also found, as if' the Lead had lain there. It is thought that after ho was struck, the demons dragged the body around and placed the Lead on the track to be mangled by a passing train. The depot was entered by tearing away some slats near the roof', and froni it was taken a lot of' groceries, a box of "Long Run" tobacco, some bottles of Lithia water and sample shoes, these belonging to Mr. Ri. M. Strange. Some of the shoes and parts of the tobacco box and tags were found. All day Sunday and Monday the town was in commotion. Parties armed and ready for duty came in both days. at the same time there was no boisterousness. Every man was anxious to capture the des perate characters at large. On Monday morning Mr. Tobias became sulciently conscious to recognize some of his friends. A large crowd of the wounded man's friends came to town and Sheriff Bradham, although sick from exposure in the rain the day before, busied him self with calming them and organizing searching parties. There is a diversity of opinion as to whether Mr. Tobias was shot or struck; even the attending physician does not seem able to tell, but at about the time To bias was stricken, two shots were heard from that direction by Policeman Hug gins, on duty in Manning, and also by Messrs. Huggins and Alsbroom, whom the unfortunate man had only left a few min utes before over the swamp. They say they heard two shots, to which they replied, by firing shots also. 'This morning Constable Tobias contin es to linger in uncertainty. His condi tion when last heard from was not at all encouraging. A Remarkable Case. Antioc, Miss., July 1, 1898.
