v A TRAGEDY OF THE DESERT.
Thirsting Family Drink Water From
a Poison Spring .
One of the most pitiful tragedies
of the Mojabe Desert in recent years
was discovered in Inyo county, Cal.,
wuen a party or teamsters on their
way across the sandy waste came
upon the family of George McDermott.
McDermott and family, consisting
of his wife and five children started
overland several weeks ago for
Mill Valley, Utah. Becoming short
of water, it is thought they drank
from one of the numerous poison
springs on the desert. Their horse
and cow became sick and the cow
died. Then McDermott fell ill and
died six days later.
The distracted widow and mother!
then took up the reins and drove
the nearly dead horses for miles
over the desert in search of water
until she too was stricken. When
the teamsters found the family the!
mother was near death and the
children, all sick, were clinging to
j her. All were taken on to Mill City
and it is thought the mother will
die.

a kind unknown to Captain Chambens.

FOB Ml'KDKK ltt YEARS AGO
Laurens Negro, Freed from Ker-1
sliiiw Jail, Lands in Anotlier
CVli.
ljaurens, November fi.?Special:
Charged with the murder, sixteen
years ago, of another negro by
the name of Preston Milan, Tack
Fuller, alias Laurens Fuller, is in 1
the Laurens jail, where he will re- j
main until the next term of the
Criminal Court.
Fuller was broueht frnm Cuma,.n
by Deputy Sheriff S. C. Reid Fri-;
day uight, the authorities of Ker-'
shaw having been advised to hold
the negro, who had just completed J
a four-year term on the county'
chain gang for man slaughter.
Fuller denies his identity, but
several persons, including a rela-1
tive, have visited him at the jail
and declared that he is the man
wanted.
It is alleged that Fuller shot and
killed Milam on the 3rd of October,
1S95, and immediately skipped out.
Some time ago the Laurens authorities
got information to the effect
that a negro answering the description
of the Laurens county fugitive
was serving a sentence on the gang
in Kershaw county. Upon investigation
it was determined to bring
the man back to Laurens, and the
officers are quite sure that they
have Milam's slayer.
DF.4TH OF T\VO-HKAI?KI> PIG
Wonderful I'orker Was Lone
Brother of Thirteen Sisters.
W. B. Gabbard, of Puncheon
Camp, was in town this week to ,
advise us of the death of Henry
Vnuderbilt, his two-headed pig, \
says The Jackson Times.
This shoat was undoubted one of
the wonders of the age. He was
the only brother of 13 sisters, had
iwo perieciiy normal neads, a per-1
: fectly developed body and a neck '
'like a lion. Each head was pro-'
vided with an ordinary size mouth, j
two ears and two eyes. All four >
eyes were perfect, the ears perfect!
and erect, but short, while the
mouths in each head were of the
same size and he used one with as I
much grace and solemnity as the
other, usually, however, eating
with one and drinking with the
other.
Mr. Vanderbilt would scon have
been eight months old had he liv-1
ed, but the world is denied its
greatest animal wonder. Undoubtedly
had this pig lived, Mr. Gabbard
would have gone into the {
show business.

tzens accused in connection with
the tarring of Miss Mary Chamber-!
lain, the Shudy Bend school teach- j
er. These announced pleas of
guilty: Everett G. Clark, president
of a Shady end milling com-1
pany; Watson Scranton, Shady
Bend farmer; Jay Fitzwater,,
Shady Bend farmer.
A flood of affidavits was let

the hearing on an application by
Everett G. Clark, the wealthy milwltb
eight other men are charged
of venue in the case, in which he
with eight other men are cahrged
with "assault and battery" in connection
with the tarring of Mies
Mary Chamberlain last August. Miss
Chamberlain was in court accompanied
by her mother and brother.
Since Miss Chamberlain was decoyed
to a lonely spot on a country
road, seized by a band of a
dozen or more men, her clothing
: torn off and her body coated with
tar, she has remained in close re- ;
tirement in her home in the little;
Shady Rend community, where she'
taught school and where it is said |
her popularity with the men caused
jealous wives and sweethearts to
inflint .... I...- 1. ~ t. ; .1.

created a storm of indignation
throughout the State.
Another confession of guilt in
the tar party caBe came on Thursday
when Edward Ricord, a barber, ad- !
mitted he decoyed Miss Mary Cham-1
berlain, a school teacher, to a
point near Shady Bend, where she :
was "tarred" on Aug. 7. He went !
before Judge Gover and entered a
plea of guilty. Sentence was sus
pended until after the trial of the
other accused men.
Ricord has been in jail for the
last three months, awaiting action
on an appeal of a justice court sentence
of one year for complicity in
the attack on Miss Chamberlain, j
was the first man arrested in con- j
nection with the "tar party" case, j
It is alleged he received $5 for his
part of the affair.
According to Miss Chamberlain
she accompanied Ricord 011 the,
night of the attack under the ini-;
pression that he was taking her to
a dance. Ricord expects leniency
as the result of his confession.
FAII.S TO IDENTIFY HODY.
Man hound in Fee Dee Itucits I on
Rauks of River.
The body found in the Fee Dee
river near her last week Bavs
the Fee Dee Advocate, has not been
identified. it is thought that it
is the body of a negro who was
lynched on the Chesterfield side for
attempted assault.
Austin Williams, the negro ferry-;
man who found the body testified: j
"1 was going across to my flat in a (
canoe and struck against him about
six o'clock this morning, and then I
brought the body out to the bank.
I do not know him. 1 have never
seen him before 1 found him in the
river this morning. I notified Dr.
Carrigan as soon as 1 had found |
him."
Dr. J. A. Faison made the fol- j
lowing statement: "This is to cer- j
tify that I viewed *he body of
on the river near Society Hill 1
From the appearance and condition ,
of the body he must have been dead
for a week or so. His eyes were
gone and the skin had slipped from j
the flesh on his hands, arms and'
other parts of the body. No hair!
on head except a few locks on back !
of head. Putrafication was well advanced
and it is impossible to ob- i
serving the usual signs of drowning
No excoriations on hands or arms |
found as skin had slipped from |
same. On turning him over on face i
sanguinolint fluid and a little water
came from mouth and nose. He i
was clutching nothing in hands and i
I found no sand or mud under nails
Finding no marks of external vio- '<
lence, my judgment is, he came to j
his death by drowning. He was a!
negro. Very respectfully.
"J. A. Faison, M. L)." >
The verdict of the Jury was that I
the unknown party came to bis
death in an unknown manner.
A. L. Miller, Fireman.
The body was buried on the bank
of the river near where he was i
brought to land.
Was He a Rapist?
There is a current report that
this was the body of the negro
who was charged with rape in
Chesterfield county about a month
ago. At the time it was reported I
that a mob had pursued the ne-1
gro into the swamp and when they |
returnprt thou mnnlil -o
to what had become cf him.
