Information reached Fort Mill Sunday of an attempted burglary an shooting affair ft Van Wyek, over in Lancaster county, Saturday night, in which Taylor Nisbet, a popular young man of the town, was seriously injured by the discharge of a shotgun in the hands of the would-be burglar. A party of young men, among them Nisbet, were passing one of the town's business houses and hearing a noise within decided to investigate. Nisbet and a companion started to the rear of the building and when within a few steps of the rear door a man ran out and at the same instant fired upon them with a shotgun. The man with the gun escaped in the darkness. Nisbet called to his friends that he had bee*injurcd and upon it was found th?^ ??,any or the shot had lodged in his shoulder, neck and arms. The young man was u. ^ a _ r? i.v i i i i uurrieu to one 01 uie wnariotte hospitals, where it was stated that his wounds, while serious, were not likely to prove fatal. Sheriff Hunter, of Lancaster county, was notified early Sunday morning of the affair, and soon after his arrival at Van VVyck placed under arrest Sam Stinson, a negro of the community. Stinson at first strongly denied any knowledge of the occurrence, but when shown an old hat which he had lost in his hasty exit from the store made a full confession. The negro was lodged in Lancaster jail. Taylor Nisbet, the injured man, is a nephew of Dr. Olin Nisbet, of Charlotte, who is well known in this place. York's Finances. Comptroller General Jones lias issued a statement giving the total cash held by the counties of the State to June 30, the amount of which is given as $1,086,324,79.

There remained in the State treasury on that date $408,911.50. Narrowly Escape Brov/cinp. Three young1 men of Rock Hill?Messrs. Dave and Ike Diggers and Tom Sandifer ? narrewly escaped drowning in Catawba river last Wednesday at a point just above the Carhartt roller mill. The young men. with several friends, were spending the day picnicking and fishing on Catawba and in the afternoon went bathing in the stream. The swim across the river was made without trouble, but the return trip was too much for the boys and when about middie-way of the stream they began to call for help. York Wilson, one of the party on shore, went to the rescue of Sandifer, but the Diggers boys continued the struggle in the water, being carried down stream toward the dam at the mill. Ike, the younger of the two, struck a rock and by climbing upon it was able to save himself until help arrived, but Dave continued his fight with the swift current until finally he reached the dam and climbed upon a fish trap. He was completely exhausted when rescued. It was a very narrow escape for the young men and their experience is not likely to be soon forgotten. Resolutions of Respect.
