o'clock by the gvarly, and was taken In
to the nUtomobPe In which they were

unable to give -the desired information
and then asked to direct the party to

to bang him. He says that he pledbed

Then he was let down aud accompani

he failed in his attempt, he was shot in

NOT HELD IN ABEYANCE
The Join's Cases Have llecn Thrown
Out of Court.
i^aueaster News: The misleading
stories which have Ixmmi sent out from
Lancaster purporting to represent the
facts in regard to the trial of Charles
D Jones here last week were so dtatorl*
ed that anyone not understanding tho
situation will get the view that the In
dictments against Mr. Jones are sflll
standing.
The fi've indictments brought by Le
roy Springs and John T Stevens, charg
ing breach of trust with fraudulent In
tent. have been wiped from Jhe docket,
I he defendant dismissed and his bonds
cancelled. Tliese indictments cannot be
brought up again, they are not held In
abeyance, as one or more i wipers printed
and it is jio postponement or continu
ance, as the eases have been thrown
bodily out of court, and the court has
"wiped its hands' of the whefle matter.
There Is no such thing as o "tern* I
I>orary ool pros." . The very words
mean "not willing to follow further,"
and the solicitor said in asking the
court to ofder a tiol pros, iu each of tho
five cases: "If I had known the true
facts iu this case before trial I would
not have permitted it to be tried.'*
Some of the State papers haYe con
sistently refused t U print anvth|ng in
connection with this case not. favorable
to the prosecution, and in so doing have
printed much that i* misleading.

TO PROTKCT TIIKIK PROPERTY
Hermitage Will Plmse a Patrol ou Their
j take To Rnfnree Fishing Rules. ~
The huge UortiUofo pond, . tlttve
miles east of Camden, known as ouo of
the finest flishing ground# in the state,
will soon bo put Under the sopor \<lslon
of a patrol and u monthly iv?> charged,
according : to a letter received from the
president of the company, which will
be found ibolow : For m$ny years it 1ms
been h * pleasure place for afternoon
ftshlug parties without charge, but
many who ure unsportsmanlike have
made it <1 habit to net tho fish, or catch
thorn by any mea'tts ami committing u 11
kinds of depredation** on the projK
erty, going so far us to destroy and
steal l>oats. The acMon of the couipnuy
will bo received with delight by real
MKirtsnuMi, bocausc u rcrtl sportsman
will help see that the niton are nbeyed .
The pond was stocked with government
fish several years ago and If the rules,
tire properly carried out it will not be
long before there will tie a greater
abundance of fish :
"To tho Editor: Home year's ago
fishing en our |?oud was permitted
without any restriction of any kiud.
We found the privilege so thoroughly
abused that it became necessary to reg
ulate the. matter !>y Issuing permits for
which no charge was made. Our
courtesy lu this respect.. received such
small consideration that many
desiring to fish refused even to ,
take the trouble of coining to
our office to secure this permit. We
then began ehurging a fee of 23c for a
.permit lu order to lend value to the
transaction and ?t>lll a considerable
portion of those fishing paid uo atten
tion to otir requirements. We then de
cided upon the courae of charging 50c
for these permits, donating eayh ROc to
tho C.iuulen Hospital, a uoo?t worthy
benevolence .and one which' we felt
would appeal to nil sportsmen. Under
such arrangement the violations of
regulations continued. We have, there
fore, found it necessary . to- t nice dras
tic steps to enforce our regulations.
Tho property beflongs to the stockhol*
dors of the Hermitage Cotton Mills, aud
we feel that we are fully within out
fights lu handling this property in any
manner W;e may see fit. it is our de
sire to conserve opportunities of fine
sport for sportsmen. We do not pro- ...
I>o so to permit absolute uuHeensed (lis- <f
regard of regulations. 1
"We are charging $1.00 for thirty
day permits for line fishing only, 00c 'of
this being donated to the Camden IIos- w
pital and 50c partially defraying the
cost of enforcement. We arc arrang
ing to pl<nce a patrol on the pond, and
all persons not securing permits *ro4in
for the permit on account of the, ad
ditional expeuse thereby entailed^
"We think our efforts along th(s line
should be entirely mifficlent to meet,
the situation, but if not, we shall be
obliged to seek redress by individual
indictment* and prosecutions.
"Yours very truly, :
"R. B. PITTH
