I MAN LO8E8 Ills ARM. Officers Blockade The Wrong Men on Public Highway. .. 1 . W. T. llough, special county officer, lost his left arm early Friday morning when he was shot by Laurens Youmans, farmer and lumbar man of Fairfax. The shooting occurred in the Wateree river swamp shortly before three o'clock when Mr, Hough and rural policeman Norris tried to stop the car containing Youmans and driven by Ivey Adams, also of Fairfax, on suspicion that it contained liquor. No liquor wtu^ouftd in the car. ' ?-?- '.'?? / Officers Dollard, Norris, Hough and Boykin went to the swamp some time before the shooting, having received information that a'liquor car would probably come through going towards Columbia. The officers separated here, Dollard and Boykin going deeper Into the swamp and Norris and Hough stationed themselves nearer the edge of the road. A red lantern was put out by Hough and Norris to stop all ears. When Youmans and Adams drove up the officers signalled to thorn to stop, but before they came to a halt Youmans opened fire with a repeating shot gun, firing Ihreo times before his gun jammed. One load of buckshot took effect in Mr. Hough's arm, terribly lacerating It. \t The two men did not try to escape after the shooting, but allowed Mr. Norris to arrest them and bring them on to Sumter where they were lodged in jail. Mr. Hough's arm was bound up to stop the loss of blood and he was rushed to the Tuomey Hospital, where it was found necessary to am? putatu the member albove the elbow. He is reported as getting on as well as could be expected, considering the nature of his woun<i. Adams was released from jail Friduy morning after being held only a few hours. Youmans was released under $1,000 bond early Friday afternoon. Ho is charged with assault and battery with Intent to kill and will -probably face trial at the summer term of court of general sessions. Youmans is 50 years old and is a prominent farmer and lumber operative of Fairfax. His companion, Ivey Adams, is 21 years old. W. T. Hough is 45 years old, is married and has several children. Until recently he had been in the employ of the county as chain gang foreman. He has been accompany, ing county officers on liquor raids and chases after bootleggers for several months.?Friday's Sumter Item. I.nrge~'Lumber TMant Burned. Marion, S. C., June 25?Revised estimates today showed a loss of about $250,000 suffered when fire destroyed the plant of the Anderson Lbmber corporation last night. The blaze, which started about 8 o'clock last V night was not brought under control v.".' unt\l 1 o'clock todny and practically the entire plant, with the exception of the saw mill, was destroyed. A planing mill, box car and over a million feet of lumber went up in the flames. Company officials said the insurance carried was nearly $200,000. l The corporation is one of the largest in the state, has a timber stand sufficient for ten years' cutting, and it is considered likely that the plant will he rebuilt soon. A'bout 800 persons were employed in the mill. Five men were slightly injured in fighting the fire, all of whom are in a satisfactory condition. Ships Car Load of Lambs. McCormick, June 28?McCormick county shipped its third carload of lambs to Northern- markets the past week. The car contained 163 lambs, >4 being consigned to Richmond, Ya., ? and was valued at $750. Six McCormick county farmers ? contributed lambs to the load, which was worked up by T: \V. Morgan, the county agent. Sheep are proving very profitable side lines on McCormiek county farms, 12 farmers of the county owning around 1,000 head. All ewe lambs were kept for breeding purposes this year, meaning that the J lamb and woo', crop will tn- greater' ne\ year than ever before. Approximately another car of lambs has been disposed of to the lo- I cal merchants and those in nearby cities, making the total lamb crop of fc. good value to the farmers this year. Nobody in Jail; Court Quits. Lee county\ summer term of court of general sessions convened here on Monday morning with Judge Wilson of Manning presiding. The court was of short duration, adjournment coming long before mid-day. Very little business awaited the court s attention, therefore it was needless for it I ?-4-e?remain in session. There are no prisoners in the coun- J X ty jail, and only such cases as could have been tried were bond cases. Court convened and a few details were attended to before adjournment, j ?BLhopvi.v Messenger.
