MOB SHOOTS AGED NEGRO.
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.
