He is Mistaken for Girl's Assailant j and Killed. Beaumont, Texas, July 15.?Last aight a posse of over 1,000 scoured the woods in this vicinity in an effort 1 to capture the unidentified negro 1 who yesterday attacked and beat in- 1 to insensibility the thirteen-year-old 1 white girl, Ada Bell Hopkins, inflict- J ing injuries which may prove fatal. 5 It was the intention of the mob to 1 inflict quick punishment. Late yesterday an aged negro man was mis- ( taken for the one sought and shot to ! leath. \ Last night the mob burned two ne- '< ?ro amusement resorts and threatened to destroy other buildings occu pied by negroes in the vicinity of the ' srene of the crime. Murder in Theatre. j Chicago, July 17.?Actual murder j was committed last night in the Al- ( hambra theatre, the scene of hundreds of thrilling melodramas. John , Pitch was stabbed to death and his wife Mary was wounded by John Henry Long and his brother, Oscar. , Fitch "and his wife had occupied ' 3eats very near the Long brothers, while the second act of "Moonshiner's Daughter" was in progress. Mrs. . Fitch turned to the brothers and ask- . ed them to desist from talking. They ( refused and Fitched started from his , seat to ask Policeman Woodson to [juiet them. The Long brothers followed him into the corridor, Mrs. , Fitch also followed. As they passed through the swinging doors one of the Long brothers stabbed Fitch and the other attacked Mrs. Fitch who tried to defend her husband. Dr. Brown Not Man Wanted. Orangeburg, July 15.?Dr. W. H. | Brown, a veterinary surgeon of this city, who was arrested here last Wednesday on a warrant from Dayton, Tennessee, charging him with horse Btealing, turns out not to be the man wanted. The description sent here hv the sheriff of Dayton tallied in every way with Dr. Brown's-appearance except as to age. Chief of Police Fisher, who arrested Brown, had the accused man photographed and his picture was mailed to the authorities at Dayton, Tenn. Chief Fischer received a telegram from the Dayton sheriff saying that the photograph showed Dr. Brown not to be the man, and of course, he was promptly released from the bond which'he had given without any trouble on the day of his arrest. Dr. Brown's friends in Orangeburg are delighted to know that it was a case of mistaken identity, and regret the notoriety given to Dr. Brown. Beaumont is Wild. Beaumont, Texas, July 16.?Beaumont is wild with excitement, and the city is filled with hundreds of armed meh, due to the belief that the negro who brutally assaulted little Ada Belle Hopkins is in the hands of the, officers. About six o'clock last evening Acting Marshal N. N. Smith and other officers caught a negro, said to be named Henry Goldman, sleeping in a barn or outhouse of another negro living in the vicinity of the power plant. This negro was given up, it is said, by the negro who harbored him. There was talk of storming the county jail, where a number of negroes arrested as suspects are confined, but Sheriff Lan"Alamnlw IcoflroH 1PJJ H i n ST fiitlzeDS HI J OUlCUlUiJ uuuuivu c that the negro was not in jail. A crowd of hundreds of men gathered at the Texas and New Orleans passenger depot last night and held up passenger train No. 9, West bound, for about' fifteen minutes, while a thorough but unavailing search for the negro was made. Passenger train No. 8, East bound was also stopped this side of the Neches river and searched for the negro. Sheriff Landy was joined here by Rangers Wright and Hamar. ^ Negroes are keeping close, and "resorts in the north end are closed tight. Dynamite Bomb Caused Panic. New York, July 15.?A dynamite bomb exploding with terrific force in the stairway of a fashionable apartment house in West 140th street, hurled scores of the occupants from their beds, shattered many windows and threw the tenants into a panic, A huge hole was torn in the cement flooring where the bomb went off and considerable other damage was done Wl/ VUV VUiiUiU^i There was forty-two families living In the apartment house, but as tar as the police could learn none of them had received threatening letters. The reason for the bomb is much of a mystery. The block in which the explosion occurred is occupied by a number of high class apartment houses. Detectives say they have no clue to the perpetrators and that if it proves to be an attack by members of the Black Hand it will be the first kind in New York directed toward the wealthier class of residents. CLOSE ELECTION AT FAIRFAX. Mr. J. J. Harter Chosen Intendant by Just One Vote. Fairfax, July 17.?The election held here yesterday for intendant and wardens of Fairfax for one year resulted as follows: Intendant, J. J. Harter; wardens, B. H. Buckner, W. E. Harter, O. J. Youmans, and H. Harvely. The election was the most hotly contested ever neid in ttms town, xne successful candidate for intendant defeated Mr. J. F. Lightsey, the incumbent, by only one vote. Mr. Lightsey is very popular and deservedly so. He has held the office of intendant here consecutively since 1901 | and the opposition to him was not | personal, but on account of a difference of opinion as to the administra| tion of the town's affairs. His successor is also a young, pro[ gressive man and will no doubt make a good record as intendant of this live little town. Messrs. Buckner and W. E. Harter were re-elected and Mr. You mans has served as warden before, but Mr. Harvely has not before been connected with the town council here. The corn crops in this section are good and cotton is improving rapidiy. J. D. WHITTLE SHOT. | Prominent Business Man of Blackville Shot Last Saturday Eveiiiujj. ' The town of Blackville was greatly shocked about 7 o'clock last Sat-' < urday evening when it was reported : / that Mr. J. D. Whittle, one oi the) leading business men of the town j < and county, had been shot. As near j i as we can get the details they are as j follows: j I About 5 o'clock in the afternoon I j Mr. Julius Swett, son of Mr. P. B. Swett, clerk in the Blackville dispen- I sary, went to Whittle's stables to see | about the pay of his younger brother, who had been packing cantaloupes I for Whittle. Swett claimed that his | brother had twenty-five cents due him that had not been paid. Mr. ' Whittle told him to go to the time | keeper, and get the correct time of his brother's work and then go to ' the bookkeeper, and if there was any | difference it would be paid. Swett left the office in a bad humor and ' said that he woifld see Whittle when j he left his office. About two hours - " * - "*TT1_ ^i.11 I later Swett came DacK 10 wuhucb stables, Mr. Whittle was in a buggy < [n the street. Swett walked up towards the buggy and opened fire on ' him, the first shot taking effect in | the left leg. At the report of the pistol, the horse, which was a very fiery 1 one, started to run and ran through i a vacant lot between Whittle's stable and Hair's hardware store. The horse ran until it got nearly to Far- i rell's store on Railroad avenue. Mr. Whittle was then thrown out and dragged a few feet. His right hip i was broken about two inches below the joint and he was badly bruised about the body. After the horse i started to run Swett fired three other, shots, two of them went wild and one of them hit a negro who was in the buggy with Whittle, but who was thrown out before the horse went very far. The negro was hit on the leg, he sustained .only a very slight flesh wound. ' As soon as Mr. Whittle was thrown to the ground several of his friends rushed to him and gave aid. Drs. Giles, Briggs, and Nevils were hastily summoned and gave him what medical aid was needed. Swett was arrested by the town marshal and later turned over to the magistrate's deputy. Later Swett was given a hearing* before Magistrate Woodward and was released on a bond of $500.00. While Mr. Whittle is not dangerously wounded, he . will suffer many ill effects from his injuries. His hip being broken, his other leg having been broken by the bullet, he is badly maimed and there is a danger of a stiff leg from the broken thigh. His many friends throughout the county will learn with sorrow of his misfortune and will all hope for his speedy recovery.?Barnwell Sentinel. Drove Negro from County. A special from Yorkville says: About ten days or two weeks ago a report gained currency, in a neighborhood about seven miles northeast of Yorkville, near Clover, that a hor rible assault had been made on the I person of a little white girl. An immediate investigation, proved it to be utterly false and without foundation. Citizens of the neighborhood made careful inquiry as to the "author o,! the report, and finally fastened guilt on Bob Howard, a negro. On Monday night a number of men visited his home, took him out, applied 100 lashes to his back and advised him to leave the State, never to return, by noon yesterday. He went. It is claimed that he started similar reports in several other neighborhoods in which he had lived in the county. Cottageville Excited. Walterboro, July 16.?For some days past the people of Cottageville have been very much exercised over the appearance in that neighborhood of a strange animal. It is described by those who have seen it as being entirely different from anything they have ever seen before in the animal kingdom. It is about the size of a ???">? Hlfa a nonwielf And lPADR uu5t oviuauio a?uv w , ?_ ? like a kangaroo. Some persons who have seen it say that it is affrighted; others that it is vicious and shows signs of attacking them. On the whole, it is a most peculiar animal. "Never Touched Me." St. Louis, July 17.?J. H. Palmer, of Kenwood Springs, St. Louis county, was sitting at a table with a friend when there was a heavy clap of thunder and blinding flash. A streak of fire tapered through the door and shot across the table. The friend fell backward and was dazed. When he came to Palmer was laughing at him. "It never touched me," he said^ Later he had occasion to look at his* watch. It was golden hued no longer. The lightning had oxidized it, and it was dull brownish black. The chain, too, was oxidized, and along the line where it had touched his trousers the cloth was a brilliant yellow. Sheath Gown Causes Sensation. - - ? * ? *--i- ? n Atlantic uity, in. j., juiy x<.?iuib. James P. Munyon, the three-months bride of the millionaire patent medicine man, appeared on the board walk in a sheath gown last night and created a sensation. Before she had been on the walk five minutes the promenaders clustered so thickly about her that the walk was block| ed. Professor Munyon, who was with | his bride, urged her to walk faster, {in the hope of outdistancing the curious throng. The crowd followed, continually increasing. The young | woman was very much embarrassed and blushed deeply at the comments of the closest onlookers. After walking several blocks with the throng following Prof. Munyon led his bride into a confectionery store, which was immediately besieged. The Munyons waited patiently for the crowd to disperse, and the ! crowd waited just as patiently outside for Mrs. Munyon to appear. Finally the pair slipped out a side door to a carriage that had been called and were driven back to the hotel, where Mrs. Munyon changed her gown for one more old-fashioned. t f South Carolina I jns] I 19th Session Will Begin i Handsome Brick Building, contai: Booms, Art Studio, Parlors, Offices, I sium, Dining Boom, Kitchen, etc., urn on every floor.
