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
