They would rub their jaws until they became raw; some would bellow out from pain, but whatever the cause, each one affected would be sure to die. Mr. Thomas became alarmed for fear his horses and mules might be attacked by the same trouble, aoid was told, that the trouble was caused by their eating damaged oat , straw, or oats grown on very rich ottom soil, that became infected , with some germ or microbe injur1 innc ni" ? -' * , . me, out tne trouble still continued, only among: the cows, however. On last Saturday I)r. Burliegh, Clemson's veterinarian, arrived, and staid until Sunday afternoon studying the cause. He gave it as his opinion that the cows had a mild ; form of hydrophobia, caused either by being bitten by a rabid dog some time back, or eating grass upon which the saliva from a rabid dog had fallen, or that they had gotten hold of some poisonous plant. He went on to say that if another , died, and the brain was sent to him, he could tell exactly whether it was caused by rabies of a poisnoous herb or plant. From latest accounts it seems that the trouble , is about over, as none have died i lately. The loss to Mr. Thompson is quite heavy as he has good stock, and cattle are worth a good price these days. Six Found Butchered in Bod. Colorado Springs. Colo., Sept 20. ?Butchered in their beds by some persons as yet unknown, who used an axe, three bodies of six persons, three in each of two neighboring houses, were found here to-day. The heads of all the victims had been smashed in and the appearance of the bodies indicated that they had been dead several days and that death came while they slept. icpun Hays mat tne murderer I has been caught and that he has confessed, but this is denied by the police officials, who, it is intimated, fear a lynching might follow such an .announcement. An axe which had been loaned to Mrs, Henry F. Wayne, one of the victims, by J. R. Evans, a neighbor, last week, was found blood stained, by Mrs. Evans on Monday near the back door of the Wayne home. No attention was paid to this fact, however, as it was thought the axe had been used in killing chickens.

Owen rhe Quality Grocers SC DUEL BETWEEN NEGROES RESULT OF BAD BLOOD THAT DATED BA6K FOB SOMETIME WOMAN SERIOUSLY NIJURED K<Av irv Kdgefield Km Is in Double Killing?Woman Wounded. Edgefield, Sept. 21?Charlie Morgan and Wiley Jones dead and Carrie Morgan, the mother of Charlie, seriously if not fatally beaten, is the result of a negro row which occurred on the plantation of Mr. Vain, near Trenton. It appears that bad blood existed between the Wiley and Morgan family, and as ne was going to a neighbor's house his route, leading by the Morgan home, Wiley was halted by the Morgans, an altercation followed and the report of two grins rang out on the still night. Alex .lones and others ran to the scene of the trouble to find the lifeless forms of Charlie and Wiley lying on the ground, while the woman sat nearby bleeding from two ugly wounds in the head inflicted by some blunt inctrument. By the verdict of the coroner's jury, Wiley received his death wound at the hands of Charlie. Who killed the latter does not seem to be clear; some think it was a duel to death between the two, while others hold that Charlie was killed by Alex. Another theory is that his mother accidentally killed him in an attempt to shoot Wiley. Alex Jones is in jail to answer for the death of Charlie; the woman is too badly wounded to he arrested, but it is very likely that she will be charged with being particeps criminis to the homicides. Who inflicted the wounds upon the woman seems to to be an open question, but the testimony and circumstances lead to the belief that they were inflicted by Wliey.
