Dothan, Ala., Jan. 19?Cleveland Franklin, a negro employe of a cotton oil company, was lynched here tonight by a masked mob of 200 angry citizens. The negro's body was riddled with bullets, after it had been swung from the limb of a tree in the northern part of the town. It is said that Franklin shot and seriously wounded A. C. Foulk, secretary and treasurer of the oil company here, last night after he had been caught in the act of robbing the cash drawer at the mill. The sheriff was notified immediately after the shooting and a posse was organized. A diligent search was made for the negro last. night, but without result. This morning the sheriff learned that the "negro was* at Webb, Ala., and later in the morning he was captured there. Franklin was brought back to Dothan by private conveyance. Just after his arrival here and while being taken to the jail a mob of 200 men. all masked, swooped down on the sheriff and his posse and forcibly took the prisoner. The negro was hurried a short distance away and hanged to a limb, his body then being riddled with bullets. The lynching created a great deal of excitement here, but no further trouble is expected. , \ ? New County Election Valid.

Jan. 16?A special tonight from Davidson, N. C., says: * ? -V 'u. ] "A Drutai muraer was comimiieu, near here, this morning when Ezekiel Gregory, a farmer over 60 years of age, was killed with an axe by his son Dave. The murderer fled, accompanied by his wife, but both were arrested, near Mooresville, N. C., tonight. ' 'The substance of the story gathered from the daughter of the dead man was that following an altercation this morning in regard to rising, the son went from the house into the yard and defied his father to cross a line drawn with the blade of the axe in the earth. The father crossed the line, a blow was struck and the daughter rushed out to find her father prostrate. The injured man did not recover consciousness. Gregory is in jail in Charlotte." 9 POLICE OFFICER FOUND DEAD. Death of tmet or t-oiice uargan ui Darlington a Mystery. Columbia, Jan. 20.?Chief of Police A. E. Dargan, familiarly known as Rab Dargan, a bachelor about 50 years old and who has been chief of police of Darlington for fifteen years, was found dead in a room in the city hall building there about 10 o'clock yesterday morndng by a policeman whom the chief had asked to arouse him at that hour. Opinion differs as to whether Mr. Dargan committed suicide or was murdered. The coroner's jury, after holdipg a lengthy session yesterday and obtaining all facts available, was not satisfied and adjourned till next Thursday. Mr. Dargan's body was cold and stiff and he had evidently been dead for several hours. There was a bullet hole in his forehead, the bullet going entirelv through his head as if he had been shot from directly in front. If Mr. Dargan suicided he left no explanatlbn of his act and gave no intimation before hand of such intention. So far as is known his official record was without blemish. His own sleeping room is in this same building, and tne policeman who went to arouse him, not finding him there, instituted a search, finding him in another room on the same floor. There was an empty chamber in Mr. Dargan's revolver, found by his side, but this is not regarded as convincing evidence of suicide, because the chief was known to carry the hammer of his weapon on an empty shell to lessen the danger of accidental discharge. He was in his night clothes. Mr. Dargan is mourned by one sister, Mrs. Leda Evans, , of Darlington, and a brother, Alonzo Dargan, of New York, with Sharpe & Dohme. Mr. Dargan was a cousin of Robert Dargan, whose sensational suicide occurred in Darlington a few years ago, his tomb being reopened several months after his burial to satisfy an insurance company which held a policy for $25,000 on his life.

Bishopville, January 19.?Mr. Hardy Stuckey, a young- farmer who rented a place about two miles from Bishopville, fell dead from his buggy Friday afternoon about 3 o'clock at the intersection of the A. C. L. with the public road just within the limits of the town. He was just returning from the cemetery where he had buried his little infant, which was born that morning and only lived a few hours, and wras driving home alone. nnoraof titt fn OCCQC 1X7OTP CATT1P I I XU^ ll^ai TTIUIV-UUVU ?? VA v wv***w small children who say that he raised both his hands above his head and that the horse shied, and that he was thrown out upon his head. The presumption is that the excitement and agitation following the sick ness of his wife and the death of the ; little one, followed by the shock of his horse's fright, were too much | for a weak heart and death followed instantaneously. He was a worthy, industrious young man, well liked and well thought of by all, and had been happily married a little more than a year ago to a noble young lady with every hope of a happy and prosperous life. The deepest sympathy is felt by all for his afflicted wife and for his father, a gallant old veteran, who, being left a widower in his younger days, raised from childhood four hne sons, all good, worthy, industrious citizens. The old soldier is almost prostrated , with grief at the sudden death of his : oldest son. 2 f * V*rd Rn?s Shnnts Himself. Columbia, Jan 20.?A. D. Livingston, yard boss at the Southern railway shops in this city, committed suicide this morning at his home on Laurel street by shooting himself twice, once in the breast and once in the ri^ht temple. Not finding him in bed when she awoke, his wife made a search. She found Livingston's dead body in a closet, where he had gone in order to muffie th? shots. his time and pay had recently been reduced, and it is presumed that despondency caused him to take his life. He leaves a wife and three children. He carried life insurance. Canal Needs Six Years. Washington, January 17.?Col. Goethals, chief engineer of the isthmian canal commission before the Senate committee on inter-oceanic canals, said today that he has never known of a contractor that has been able to do work as well and cheaply ? ' 1J J- 3 as tne government couia ao it, ana asserted that the organization and equipment' now in operation at Culebra are better and more effective than any contractor could possibly install. Col. Goethals in discussing the probable completion of the canal would not hazard a guess as to the time that would be required but said it was generally supposed it would take six years longer. Shot While Hunting. Gaffney, Jan 17.?While out hunting rabbits Wednesday afternoon, Roland Sanders, who was accompanied by Herman Crocker, was acciden-, tally shot by the latter. The boys had started a rabbit, and the Sanders boy stooped in order to give Crocker a chance to shoot; but Crocker was so long in firing, that Sanders started to rise to his feet, and in doing so received the charge of small shot with which Crocker's ?gun was loaded. Sixteen pfr 18 of the shot entered his cheek. ~ While the wound is very painful, it is not thought to be serious. ' Saloons May Close.
