MAN RUNS AMUCK And Shoot ? Cotton Mill Mun and Lady at Walhalla Walhulla, June 9.? Roy Clark, su perintendent of the Kenneth cotton mills, and Miss Marguerite Brennecke book ee per, were both wounded here this afternoon by pistol !>hoi* fired by James Morton, who had been dis charged .om? two hours before by Mr. Clark for reporting for duty as night watchman in alleged drunken condition. :>- Leaving the mill after t* ing dis charged, he came back with a pistol and enured the mill- office, where , Brc-nnecke, Mr. i lark and W. K. Strirvgtr <.f Andereon, president of the mil!, were. No attention was paid to ? the fact that ht- wa* in possession of The rur. cnt was furnished him by the mill authorities in the discharge of b'i(t duty and the officials thought fte *as returning the weapon. Without a word Morton began fir ? Dig. one bullet striking Miss H ren net ke in the hand, another went through the right arm of Mr. Clark and inflicted a flesh wound in the stomach. Quick work by Mr. Stringer in grabbing Morton and securing the pistol from him probably prevented further shooting. Physicians were summoned and medical aid given. While the wounds are painful neither . Miss Hrennecke nor Mr. Clark is thought to be se riously injured and both are expected to bo out again within a few days. Morton was arrested just after the affair and i.s now lodged in the county jail. Couldn't Stand Still While in the Wilksburfc section ?if the county Sunday Sheriff ?). <i. Ifowze and deputies were riding along in their Ford they saw a negro ap proaching.

The negro made a dash up a steep embank muit and reaching the top the dirt gave away and down he came with the result, that ho broke his leg, between Ihe ankle and knee. His mode of locomotion being out of re pair there was nothinjr for h?m to do hut ''pit steady" until the officers walked up and giving him the onee ovtr they found the pistol.
