\A ' GREENVILLE MAN SLAIN. J. E. Liddell Dies Within Sight of His Home. i Greenville, Dec. 24.?J. E. Liddell, a real estate promoter, was iounci dead tonight at 10 o'clock, near the spot in the southeastern part of the city, where Wesley Russell, a mill worker, was found wounded Thursday night. Liddell had been dead an hour or more when found as the body was almost covered in snow. Liddell is a married man and had been engaged in the development of c- Cherokee Park, a suburban property at the end of Augusta street. ^ Last night he had been in the city shopping and started for home about j 8 o'clock. He is a married man, and his wife becoming alarmed at his failure to arrive sent a neighbor to look for him, with the result that his f body was found within a. stone's throw of his home, a terrible gash in the man's head told the story of the tragedy, the wound evidently having been made with an axe or some sharp heavy instrument. Scattered all about the dead man were toys j for his little children and a number j of gifts for his wife. Residents of the neighborhood, where- the two tragedies have occurred one so quickly following the other are greatly wrought up over the crimes. Russell and Liddell were both struck in much the same manner, except Rusell had four gashes in his head, while Liddell had but " one. Russell died to-night from his wounds. Police and county authorities are now investigating. Stung for 15 Years by indigestion's pangs?trying many doctors and $200.00 worth of medi. cine in vain, B. F. Ayscue, of Ingleside, N.

California Ranchman Runs Amuck in His Own Home. Fresno, California, December 22.? Suddenly becoming violently insane, G. G. Cheuvront, a ranchman, to-day killed his wife and one child, wounded three children and ended his life under the wheels of a railroad train. a Mrs. Cheuvront was preparing breakfast when her husband entered the kitchen with a hatchet. Without a word he split her skull with one blow. He then entered the bed room where his children lay asleep. In rapid succession he struck with the hatchet George, 14 years old; Claude, 12; Gladys, 10, and Nellie, an infant. Claude is dead and Gladys is dying. , The others will recover. 'As Cheuv^ ront left the house, C. M. McClung, a stepson, 19 years old, met him on the porch. The maniac struck at his stepson's head. Evading the blow, _ the young man struck his stepfather heavily on the jaw. The blow seemed to break the mad spell, and the hand that held the hatchet fell to his side. I |i Without speaking, the rancher extended its handle to McClung and ran to the railroad track, where he threw himself under a passing train and was ground to pieces. ?H POLICEMAN KILLS INTRUDER.

Smarti? ing under his incarceration and what he regarded as the officer's inconsiderate treatment, Tripp went to Kendal's home, was admitted by Mrs. Kendal and then walked into the officer's bed room. Tripp told Kendal he was not treated right by the lat*ter last night, and exhibiting a pistol, + remarked: "You had the advantage of me then but I've got it now and you might as well get ready to die." Instantly Kendal, who was lying in bed, flashed two revolvers and fired nine shots in quick succession, killj ing Tripp instantly. Every one of the officer's shots made a vital wound. The coroner's jury returned a verdict of justifiable homicide. Looking One's Best. It's a woman's delight to look her i best but pimples, skin eruptions, j sores and boils rob life of joy.

TO BE TRIED FOR MURDER. i Arthur Everton, Wizard of Mesmer- : < ism, Will Face Trial. < New York, Dec. 21.?Certain of 1 ] acquittal, Arthur Everton, the hypno tist, who is charged with causing the ( death of Robert Simpson, one of his < subjects, during a public exhibition ' of his powers at Somersville, X. J., j will face trial at that place to-day. < Everton declares that Simpson's ^ death was due to heart disease, and 1 that Simpson had been drinking j heavily during the day, unknown to ] the hypnotist, and that this caused heart failure. Vain attempts were made by several physicians and hynotists to c arouse the dead man, and it was not ] until many hours had passed that 1 Everton permitted himself to believe that his subject was really deceased. Then he was led away to jail, where | he remained for ten days, when he ! was released on a $2,000 bond. ! Since then the hynotist has been giving other exhibitions similar to that which caused the death of Simpson, | "in order to get money," as he expressed it, "to pay expenses of the legal proceedings in which I have become involved." At these later exhibitions Edward Thompson, the boy who assisted Everton at Somersville, has been placed in a cataleptic state. He is I then stretched across the backs of \ two chairs, while Everton stands ? upon him with the full weight of ( his body bearing down upon the I rigid form of the youth. I At one of these performances, ^ when time came for a repetition of j the act which caused the death of i Simpson, the hypnotist said: I "I have been charged with mur- \ n der as the result of what I am now ^ about to do, yet I am perfectly will- ( ing to do all that I did then, because S I am sure that the unfortunate Simpt son did not die of hynotism in any ^ form. I knew that he was dead as a soon as he dropped upon the stage at 1 Somersville, and I merely used all my hypnotic powers to convince the physicians that hynotism had not a killed him and therefore it could not c restore him-." r The Thomson boy then mounted a Q chair, and after a few passes by the ^ hypnotist he became perfectly rigid. 1 His Lead was then placed over the r other chair. t "It was stated," said Everton, * "that I stood upon the abdomen of Simpson. I understand anatomy far too well to ever attempt such a thing." Then, as a shudder went through the audience, he leaped upon the boy's thighs, tapping him lightly with his hand. "My hypnotism was merely a coincidence with heart disease. The disease may have made Simpson a good subject but. he died of it. Hypnotism cannot hurt a normal heart. Thomp- ( son's heart is all right, as I will show J you," said Everton. Then he stepped down from the body and in a few moments the boy walked back to his seat in the circle of his subjects. The remainder of the act showed a high order of hynotic ability, the "green" subjects going through their work under the hand of Everton with a quickness that was surprising. He did nearly all the usual tricks of professional hypnotists and closed by sending one of his untried subjects through the audience with a needle through his cheeks. Since his arrest Everton has received many letters from former subjects and medicine men expressing their confidence in him and a belief that he is guiltless of any improper work. Everton said he would call some of the physicians as witnesses at his trial. The bail on which Everton was released was furnished by Nathan Gruber, of Newark. Three Lynchings this Year. Columbia, December 20.?The report of the compilation of lynchings during the year, sent out from i Washington, appeared to have done South Carolina an injustice.' Three lynchings were given. The Governor did not recall any at first, but it ap- pears that the report is correct, for two men were lynched near Smoak's in June, as stated in the compilation; The "negro lost in the wootte^ near Lexington should not have been counted in the list. However, , he . was believed to have been lynched. Once before a story was sent out from Chicago saying that there were lynchings in this State when during that year there had not been any. Except for the two named above there have been only.three lynchings during Governor Ansel's administration. ^ L Rich Men's Gifts Are Poor _ F beside this: "I want to go on rec- S ord as saying that I regard Electric Bitters as one of the greatest gifts that God has made to woman." writes Mrs. O.

My limbs and body were swollen one-third larger than natural, water collected around my heart and I had to be propped up in bed to keep from smothering. I took Dr. Miles' Heart Remedy until I was entirely cured. This was in 1902, and I am now able to do any kind of work on my farm. My cure was certainly j marvelous." L. TURLEY CURD, Wilmore, Ky.
