Court for Hgwberry County, Tuesday
neturned a true bill against H. K.
Evans, ex-member and ex-chairman
of the old State dlapenaary board of
_ directors, charging him with rejeiv^
"log rebatas while In offlee.
Immediately following the re<urn-
lag of the trae bill by the grand
Jury Mr. Evans surrendered to the
sheriff, and upon motion of his at
torney, Eugene 8. Bleaae, Eaq , was
admitted to bail in the sum of one
thousand dollars. Attorney Gvtiterai
Lyon contended for a bail of at
least ten thousand dollars. Th* de
fendant’s attorney stated that it
would be no hardship upon the de
fendant to give this amount, as he
was st home amon£ hie friends, but
that he felt such amount was ex
cessive, and would tend to prejudice
the case.
Judge Aldrich held that the let
ter and the spirit of the law was
that ball should not be excessive,
and. Inasmuch as the maximum fine
for the offence charged wps only live
hundred dollars, he thought the
amount of the maximum flne pro
vided would be sufficient. According
ly be admitted Mr. Evane to ball
' la the sum of one thonsand dollars.
The ball was Immediately given, the
sureties being Mesara. E. M. Evans,
a brother of the defendant; C. White
Fant, of this.city, and J. E. Norwood,
caahisr of the Newberry Savings
■Bank.
Mr. Evan’aa attorney. Mr. Eugene
8. Qlease, pressed for an Immediate
trial at this tm’m of the Court. The
Attorney General stated that one of
the witnesses for the State waa In
Ohio and another in Virginia, ‘‘as the
defendant himself. It his counsel did
aot,’* Be said, ought to know, and
that the State could not go to trial
at this term. He said he hoped the
defence would be as ready at the
next term of the Court aa It waa
now, and that the State would then
accommodate the defence.
In reply the attorney for the de
fendant said that ha would let the
next term apeak for Itself, even as
the counsel for the State were bas
ing their action upon matters aa they
presented themselves to them at this
term. Judge Aldrich aald that, on
the motion of the State, he, would
grant Mis contls uanee OTtM next
torn, ss the Attorney General and
the solicitor were In command of the
case for the State, as he would have
eontiaued It for the defendant upon
S similar showing at the first term
. at whkh a trua bill waa found.
Mr. Evans was elected a member
'mf the board of directors of the old
State dispensary la 1900 and served
four years as a member of that board
and then for two years aa chairman
of the board. His home le In New
berry, and since his retirement from
the board he had devoted himself
principally to farming. The Indlet-
moot charges two rebates, one of two
hundred and fifty dollars and one
for two hundred dollars, from M. A.
Goodman, who, at the times mention
ed In the Indictment, had his head
quarters In Savannah, Ga., and re
presented various liquor houses. It
will be recalled that recently in the
Richland County indictments against
Goodman were nol pressed.
Attorney General Lyon said that
from the experience which he had
with similar caees In other counties,
be had ao Idea that defence would be
pressing for a trial, and that some
of the State’s witnesses were In other
Stf'se and the State could not go
to Mtol at tola term The motion,
on the part of the State, for a con
tinuance ar<!F the next term, was.
thereupon, pMMed,
This term of the Court for New
berry, le only one week, and had the
trial been ordered for this term it
must have been held this week. Mr.
Evans appeared la excellent aplrlta
when he came Into Court, immediate
ly following the finding of the true
bill, and surrendered to the sheriff
streets, end the shooting was done
at the corner, where is located the
Evan’s Pharmacy, one of the busiest
parts of town. Three buReta entered
the body, either of which would have
produced death. A magasine pistol,
carrying ateel bullets, was used.
Mr. Davis waa engaged in the In
surance business In Dllldn, being the
Junior member of the Dillon Insur
ance Agency. Hie wife conducts the
Central Hotel, at which Mr. Hursey
waa a boarder. The shooting la al
leged to be the outcome of unfor
tunate domestic complications, wtlch
developed st the hotel some months
ago.
Upon leaving the Court House,
where DBlon’a first term of Criminal
Court was la aeselon, Mr. Hursey
walked across the street, and was
passing in front of Evans’ Pharmacy,
when he waa met by Mr. Davis. Eye
witness's to the affair aay that no
words were exchanged, but when the
two met. Davla pulling a gun from
hts pocket and began shooting at
Hursey st close range. The first bul
let entered the right aide and the
second toot entered the forehead. As
the victim of the tragedy whirled and
fell upon the pavement, it la stated
that Davis fired at him again, shoot
ing him through Cbe back of the
head. The affair la deeply regretted
by everybody.
Young Hursey was a graduate of
the University of North Carolina,
and was admitted to the North Caro
line Bar, about four years ago. Quite
recently he came into an Inheritance
of $15,000 from his grandfather's
estate, and It waa his purpoaa to go

on Roof of Herald Building Give
Way, PrecipitotlBg Mass f Metal
Md Water, Weighing 85 Tons, to
Between twenty and thirty people
lost their lives Monday when the sup
ports of the aprlnkler system tank,
on the roof of the Herald building,
at Montreal, Canada, gave way, and
the great mess of metal and water,
weighing thirty-five tone, went crash
ing to the basement.
Fire broke out Immediately, add
ing its horrors to tbe disaster. The
firemen displayed splendid heroism
In rescuing scores of people from
perilous positions in the tottering
walla.
Some of the walla had to come
down before the work of recovering
the bodies could be safely attempt
ed, and it waa not until six o’clock
in the evening that tbe first body,
charred and mangled beyond recog
nition, was brought out.
All of those who escaped agree
that the first warning of the Impend
ing disaster passed almost unnotic
ed. Thefe was a slight creaking,
then a little more, somewhat more
pronounced, but it was not until the
ceiling plaster began to fall that a
rush for the stairway began.
Before anyone reached It there oc
curred a final deafening crash, and
then chaos. -Some survivors tell of
falling one and two floors before
awful crash died away, and then they
found themselves able to crawl
through the dense dust to a place of
safety. The majority sought safety
by rushing to the front of the build
ing. i,
Fortunately all of the floors held
for about thirty feet fack from the
front wall, and to thla la due the
fact that tbe death list does not run
Into the hundreds, for there were
nearly three hundred people in the
building at the time.
When the first hook and ladder
company reached the scene the fire
men found the windows of the up
per floors crowded with people, and
the crowd on the sidewalk urging
them not to jump. Not one did
Jump. Ladders were quickly placed
in poeitton and those in danger were
brought to the ground.
One ladder was hoisted, reaching
to the fourth floor, on which the
bindery was located. It came be
tween two windows. From one of
these a little girl crept along the cop
ing until she could reach the ladder.
Grasping s ring with one hand and
placing a foot on another, she lent
• helping hand to eight other girle
twice her size. When all the girls
had reached the ladder and nad been
brought down to safety she came
down alone. By this time the fire
had started and smoke waa pouring
from the front windows. The little
girl fainted when she reached the
bottom of the ladder.
A dosen Injured people were car
ried from the ruins by the firemen,
many of them with broken limbs.
Of the rescued that of Bred Vidal,
a stereotyper, was the most daring.
Half an hour after the firemen reach
ed the building Vidal was heard
groaning, and was located under a
girder, from which he could not be
dislodged. Despite the fact that the
flames were creaping near three fire
men began to cut away and stuck to
their task. In the crowd outside was
Father Martin.
When he heard of the fight against
death, he went Into the building
and administered the last rites of
the church to the semi-conscious
man. Finally, however, the beam
was cut through and Vidal released,
not a moment too soon. Both his
legs and some of his ribs were brok
en.

Eighth is the terrible accusation that
is being brought against two promi

er before In toe annals of the history
of the county has it been so com
pletely chertod with excitement as
It is. Bunches of men are to be
teen standing on the street corners
talking excitedly and the sheriff of
the county and his deputies sre pro
ceeding In all directions in search
ol an alleged fugitive.
This excitement is due to the fact
that the atate chemist, to whom the
stomach of Mr. Fred Flanders, who
died June 4th was sent, has intimat
ed that the stomach waa full of pois
on and that arrests had better be
made. The stomach of the deceased
waa sent to Atlanta because relatives
of Flanders felt that he waa poison
ed and suspicion rested on Dr. W.
J. McNaughton and Mrs. Flanders.
When the sheriff went to arrest
them Monday morning, it was dis
covered that Dr. Mr.Naughton had
sold his place and all his property
had been turned into cash and that
he had left. Mrs. Flanders waa ar
rested by the sheriff and brought to
Swainsboro.
Mr. and Mrs. Flanders have occu
pied the home of Dr. McNaughton
since the death of his wife, about two
years ago. Dr. McNaughton boarding
with them. About two weeks before
the death of Flanders, he became
violently 111 with what Dr. McNaugh
ton, pronounced to be acute neph
rltis. He was attended by no other
physician but McNaughton and nurs
ed by no one but his wife. He grad
ually grew worse and finally on June
1th passed away.
Brothers of Flanders, on account
of Dr. McNaughton'* attention to
Mrs. Flanders before, and after the
death of her husband, became sus-
picieus that there was some fonl play
and Tuesday they had his body ex
humed, a coroner's jury empanneled
and his atomach removed by Drs.
Smith and Chandler and sent to At
lanta In order that the atate chemist
might analyze Its contents
Only Sunday a report was received
which Intimated that arrests would
be In order, however, too late to
catch Dr. McNaughton, for he had
gone. Flanders was worth four or
five thousand dollars and he was
Insured for about five thousand. Dr.
McNaughton bad lived in the county
for a number of years and waa con
sidered a good citizen.
