?he Bamberg HSjrralfcj ESTABLISHED APRIL, 1801. A. W. KNIGHT. Editor. Thursday, May 12, 1910 There are entirely too many dogs running at large on the streets of Bamberg. City council should take action to have the dogs muzzled or kept off the streets. The selection of an attorney by the plaintiff in the suit against The State Co. seems to be significant. Mfnn ricr if thia ic nrtt a MSP of at- ' tempted revenge on the part of some- body? We have no idea the suit will amount to anything, or that it will ever reach a jury. No doubt a nonsuit will be granted just as soon as a judge gets a chance at it. 1 If there is any person in Bamberg who believes his name has not been gotten by the census enumerator, we would be gald if they would notify The Herald at once. This is an important matter, and it will affect the standing of the town. It will be little . trouble to notify us, and we will see ( that your name is given tc the enumerator. Don't put it off; do it toft day-A BURNED WITH THE HOUSE. 1 : i *V'. Young Man Refused to Jump From s Window and is Lost. 1 i-M,../5,; , At Hickory, N. C., Mr. Clarence v , Seaboch, a 20-year-old youth, was :' burned to death Friday night in a second story room of his* father's ? house. The boy went home at 11 o'clock and at 12.10 the alarm was - .. r' , r turned in. The old man went to the 1 Window and cried to his son, who was screaming for help, to jump. 1 It was only about fourteen feet to ine gprouna, dui me young man seemed to be dazed. He went back into 1 ?%; ' ; the room and no? long after his agonized parent saw him fall to his 1 * knees and the flames blotted out 1 any further vision. A man climbed ? . on an, improvised scaffold to the 1 f ? 1 window a little later, but was too g?>S'>\ late. ; The charred and unrecognizable re- 1 mains were found in the ashes. Young 1 ; r ' Seaboch went home at 11 o'clock, 1 and, as he smoked it is supposed that f he may have dropped a spark or left ^ b a lamp too near some inflamable ma? :/,: terial. The city is shocked over the 1 ; - holocaust and there is a general 1 ^ V awakening to the importance of fire a escapes. ] .?, ^ z. \ HUNG BY HER HEELS. i ! T ' f s ft? Terrible Fiendish Act of Cruelty Re- t . ported from Georgia a j rv'--- The Augusta Chronicle says last ^ / Mpnday morning a negro girl, 12 t -I' ? years old, was found hanging by her e heels to a pine tree in Lincoln coun- c V' ty. The girl had been missing since n li V Saturday two weeks ago. a When discovered she was almost n * dead. She had been beaten terribly f and showed evidences of other ill o > treatment. After being attended by t doctors, she regained consciousness y long enough to tell who had treated c ^ her so cruelly. The names of the \ -parties are not given, but it is learn- v f - ed that two negro women and a ne- p gro*man are in jail at Lincolnton, s charged with the crime. h / Nothing is known as to how long p the girl had been hanging to the p >J , tree. v She had been tied up with D wild grape vines. The thongs had c tent into her flesh and bloodpoisoning r [:/' has set in. She is not expected to u live. '* ' r Sheriff Wright, of Lincoln county, tl who was in Augusta, says that he v has been unable to find out the cause \ ' ''of the girl's treatment, but under- f stands that it grew out of some contention over work on a farm in that KS? county. r ' c Begs Pardon for Husband. ' . t Washington, May 9.?Dressed in a S 'r modest gray suit and black hat, a o sadfaced, gray-haired little woman g stood nearly all the afternoon at the c main entrance of the house and sen- s *-- j? j r ftie lo-uay ctuu quicuy imyui iuuui >. members of congress to sign a peti- 1 tion to the president to pardon her i husband from the penitentiary. a The woman was Mrs. Charles W. c Morse, wife of the New York finan- c <eier in the federal prison at Atlanta, c Ga., serving a sentence of 14 years for wrecking banks in New York. Many members of both houses and senate signed the petition, but some , declined abruptly. Most of the New ^ ' York members of the house signed. * although there were some who de- c % / clined. * * ?

Policeman Dies of Injuries Received Rescuing Little Ones. Philadelphia, May S.?Policeman William Weiss died here to-day from injuries received in saving three children from death under the hoofs of the horses in a chariot race last Thursday night at a circus performance. Three chariots drawn by four horses each were rounding the turn into the home stretch when the chil dren, thinking the performance over, started to run across the track. The throngs of spectators looked on in breathless horror. Weiss ran in front of the approacking chariot and tossed the children back to safety but was himself struck by the long pole of a chariot and knocked under the horses' hoofs. KVickersham Defies Orders of Senate. Washington, May 9.?Attorney General Wickersham has declined to larry out the resolution of Senator S. D. Smith to ascertain who sold the cotton to Messrs, Brown, Hayne, Pat;en and others alleged to have corlered the staple. The resolution was passed by the >enate without opposition last week, jeing the first measure that Senator smith had put through. It created something of a sensation at the time n New York. ' The cotton speculators who sold his cotton or the contracts were in a lole being caught short and forced o deliver. Senator Smith in pre .enting his resolution declared that he Attorney General was assisting he cotton bears by instituting the iroceedings against those who bought he contracts and that this was greaty to the injury of the Southern coton farmer and would benefit only he short speculators and the foreign >urchasers of cotton. The attorney general in reply to he demand of the Smith resolution :o investigate who sold the contracts laid in a communication to the Sen-, ite that it was not his function or lis duty to make investigations at ;he cohimand of congress. He stated n effect that he would ignore the esolution of Senator Smith and that le did not care for any further orders rom the legislative branch of the jovernment. Senator Smith says that he does lot intend to let the matter drop and le feels confident the facts about the illeged pools and the aggressive bears vill- come to light "before he is done : vith it. "The language of the attor- i ley general is respectful enough," he ays. "He simply says he has no auhority to delve into the matter 01* to i isk for an indictment by the grand 1 ury except upon some complaint. "But the senate judiciary commit- i ee has it under consideration wheth- i r or not Mr. Wickersham is legally orrect in his position. If this com- < oittee decides that he is, then I shall ] sk for a senate investigation com- < nittee. Then we would have Messrs. i irown, Havne, Patten, dears and the i thers before this committee, and ] hey would bfe glayl to disgorge the < canton secret of who sold them the ] otton. My opinion is that Mr. 1 o 4a moHr fo H rATl th P V OUHU1 1 VUVIJ w vat V|f VMV fhole matter. The cotton bears have 1 ought and delivered, I understand, o that if it has been his desire to I ,elp out these bears by instituting i roceecjings which would depress the ] rice of cotton, that purpose was im- 1 mediately accomplished, for he did 1 ause cotton to go down. Since my < esolution passed the senate it went ! p again, but the bears seem to have ; ecouped, while it was down, but the j hing has gone to the point now 1 rhere it is too late to hedge. If Mr. ; Vickersham does not find out the | acts in the case the senate will." ] Harry Levenson.one of the trio ar- . ested'in New York last week on j harges of being engaged in the white slave" traffic, on Tuesday en- 1 ered a plea of guilty before a United ( itates commissioner and gave details if tho TirVir?lo bnrrihle business, to ;ether with the names of the prin- j ipal operators. According to Levenon, the nefarious business has conLection in nearly every one of the arger cities of this country and also n Canada and France. Levenson's irrest was brought about by brilliant letective work by two young women :ollege graduates who worked on the :ase for months. Slashed With Knife. Buena Vista, Ga., May 9.?I. T. rurner, a well to do planter, was so erribly slashed with a knife by his :ousin, Will Turner, at the former's lome near here this morning that it s believed that he has no chance for ecovery. Mrs. Turner saw the at ;ack on her husband, but it is alleged, a-as' deterred from going to his assistance by a threat against her own ife. Her screams attracted her laughter, who rushed from the Planter's home with a gun. Will rurner fled when the girl ran up. A iispute about matters on the plan:ation, it is said, caused the cutting. k posse is pursuing Will Turner. *> V. . , <r - . ' / l'i '' V ' .. JONES AND THE JUNGLE. Promises to Put the Lion's Reputation on the Blink. What's the matter with this Buffalo Jones person, any way? He's crabbing a perfectly good African game?one that has kept space writers in cakes for years?not to speak of one eminent person who has been burning up words at a dollar per holocaust for some months past. It isn't clubby in Jones to go cheering through the jungles, roping lions D T hfon/1 An / ViAm onA i UUlilUg tuc uu uiauu vu ' buvxu) uuu then turning them loose to lick the hot spot. It not only puts the reputation of the king of beasts on the blink, showing him to be a harmless brute who can 'be tied up as easily as a $4 calf, but it destroys a tradition. The next mighty hunter who goes after the Tumbo rocord will have to tell it to a phonograph. No other audience would stand hitched. There may and there may not be a moving picture end to Buffalo Jone's jungle eexploits. A perverse and suspicious generation is apt to suspect something of the sort. But even if there is the facts are not to be disputed. Here is a man of sixtysix years, whose life has been spent in the hardest of all occupations? that of cattle ranching in the west? who can barely eat $4 or $5 worth of food at a meal, and can hardly stick on a horse more than thirty-six hours at a stretch, going into the African jungle, and roping, tying, and branding all sorts of wild beasts with the same unconcern that he would show in venturing into the milking pen at home. The chances are that ^hen he gets back it will be discovered that he hasn't had occasion to crack a cap at a ferocious animal during his trip. Lion hunting will be displayed by him as a milk mild and Sedentary occupation, to be recommended for invalids and children. That's Jones's point of view,x anyhow. He used to be warden of the Yellowstone Park, and found that the < grizzly bears?protected by law in the park?were annoying tourists by ' i-ofiieinw trt nnco fnr nh nfocranhs. vv y vww So Jones took a large elm club and 1 went out and, chastised the bears, j He had to tie them up to trees for i the operation, not because they were 1 dangerous ?to Jones ?but because ' he. hated to chase bears on foot, , every now and then reaching a re^ ( treatinf rump with a wallop. And when any one sent in an order for a mountain lion, Mr. Jones went out and got the lion with a string. Just ; threw a noose around his neck, kicked him in the slats a few times, < and rode the lion back to camp. All ' his life he has dealt with wild animals in preference to tame. There ? is more fun in it?for Jones?not 1 the animal. ( A fine, breezy person is this master j of the rope. Born in New England, . he left for the west as soon as he conveniently could. In 1885 he got '' an idea that some one should pre- ! serve what was vleft of the buffalo. in one day's ride he roped and tied eight calves?. As the wolves were 1 following him looking for a light lunch, he left an article of apparel with each calf, knowing that the followers Vould suspect a trap. He would have caught nine calves, except that he couldn't pry loose his ear- c ring. That was the only garment he c had left. He had a ranch down on ( the Colorado river where he raises . buffaloes, lions, and sandstorms in jqual proportion. Now and then he t sells a cattalo, too?the product of 5 i cross between the domestic cattle ind the buffalo. When he went into the business buffalos were a drug at $ 100 each. Now they are worth $1,- " 500?and he has cornered the mar- < ket. J He isn't happy out of the saddle. J He is all tanned leather and struc- < tural steel. He isn't a showman or a < poet or a faunal naturalist or a four- j flush. He is just a cow-puncher With < a, bug on catching bad beasts with a 1 string. He doesn't like to kill, for J he* believes that all animals fear ... death?and, anyhow, it's more run to catch 'em alive. If he had any busi- ^ ness faculty he would long ago have been at the head of some sort of a s woozy west show with a box office annex. He has the show as it is, but ] he furnishes his own audience. Now ] and then some dyspeptic millionaire ] visits him in the sand and lives on grub that would choke a hash ma- ' chine, and come back tanned and i hearty to tell what wonders Jones ac- ' complishes. Some one else has to : tell, for Jones won't. He has a fine | vocabulary, but he rarely uses it. Arizona is hot enough, anyhow. It is not that he is coy or shrinking. He just doesn't choose to talk. IHe won't visit the Methpdist church, either, when he comes back. 1 For a different reason.?New York Globe. The butchers of the city of Orangeburg went into an agreement to raise the price of meats twenty per cent., and now they are likely to be prosecuted under the anti-trust laws of the State.
