H" BOY KILLED IN RUNAWAY.
jfV': Attempting to Jump from Buggy was
Caught in Wheel.
jjp " \ Florence, Dec. 15.?A very sad acg'v
cident occurred at Cartersville Monl
day afternoon in which Master Lawpence
Bernard, son of Mr. Bernard,
fy who is a member of the firm of the
> Cartersville Lumber Company, lost
't Ms life. Lawrence and two of Mr.
Jim Severance's boys went out for a
drive in the afternoon and they, had
not gotten far from the house before
f the horse became frightened and
dashed to run. Young Bernard
jumped out of the buggy and was
> - caught in one of the hind wheels and
t | > was fatally injured, his skull being
fractured. A physician was called to
him as soon as possible, but he lived
V; only about three hours.
Mr. Bernard and his family moved
j :* to Cartersville about a year ago from
f|$ North Carolina and since they have
Ibf.1 made their residence in that com
*. munity they had made many friends
who deeply sympathize with them in
f this shocking accident.
Lawrence was a boy about 11 years
of age and was a bright, promising
P child.
The body was taken through the
city yesterday morning accompanied
by members of the family going to
Hope Mills where the funeral will
be held to-morrow.

Kills One, Wounds Two and Gets a t
Bullet in Return.
Columbus, Ga., Dec. 13.?The
bravery and straight shooting of S
Jailer A. A. Phelps prevented a mob 1
of lynchers from breaking into the 1
jail here about 2 o'clock yesterday t
morning and taking Henry Taylor, a i
negro, who is held for an- attack on t
a white girl. i
As a result of the assault by the <
mob one man is dead and three are
wounded. The dead man is {j*win t
Kent, who was a member of the mob, <
and the wounded are Tom Crews and i
Buckshot Blackman, also members <
of the gang, and Jailer Phelts. 1
The mob, about a hundred strong,
attacked the jail. Jailer Phelps, i
aroused from sleep by the noise, 1
warned the mob to desist. The mob t
jeered at the jailer, and they latter <
opened fire, shooting down Kent, i
Crews and Blackman. The would- i
be lynchers began to flee and as they 1
fled they fired at the jailer, one bul- ]
let entering his chest and inflicting i
a serious wound. <
The police reserves were called out
and a dozen men supposed to be
members of the mob were arrested.
The jail is guarded in anticipation of
another attempt to get the negro.
This is the second time in three \
years that Jailer Phelps has baffled i
a mob which was trying to get into i
the jail. j
Bank Robber Takes His Life.
Salina, Kan., Dec. lo.? isari
Ward, 30 years of age, who this
morning robbed the State bank of
Paradise, Kan., securing $2,500,
killed himself when surrounded by
a posse of farmers 14 miles north of '
that place late to-day.
.Ward's suicide was a tlimax to
one of the most sensational robberies
committed in Kansas in recent years. 1
He made a hard ride for liberty but
a posse of farmers surrounded him
at sundown. Then he turned the
gun he had bought earlier in the day
upon himself and sent a bullet
through his brain.
On the body the posse found the
$2,500 stolen from the bank. Ward,
who lived 12 miles northeast, went
to Paradise last night. He attracted
only casual notice. This morning he
went to a hardware store and bought
a revolver, ammunition and a coil
of rope. He then entered the bank
where he covered Bert O'Brien, cashier,
and four other men with the
weapon. After the safe had been
opened by the cashier at Ward's direction,
the five men were marched
into a back room and forced to lie
on the floor. The lone bandit then
tied them and gagged them with gunny
sacking. After taking $2,500 from
the vault Ward walked to a hardware
store, purchased a rifle and a large
number of cartridges, and mounting
his horse rode rapidly away. In a
short time the men in the bank were
discovered and released.
Wants to Help Some One.
For thirty years J. F. Boyer, of
Fertile, Mo., needed help and couldn't
find it. That's why he wants to
help some one now. Suffering so
long himself he feels for all diBtress
from backache, nervousness, loss of
appetite, lassitude and kidney disorders.
He shows that Electric Bitters
work wonders for such troubles.
"Five bottles," he writes, "wholly
cured me and now I am well and
hearty." It's also positively guaranteed

blood disorders, female complaints

Carnival of Violence.
Macon, Ga., Dec. 14.?Word was
recieved here^ this afternoon
from Millen, Ga., to the effect that
a long series of midnight whippings
of negroes in that section culminated
early this morning in the shooting
of Will Atwat'er, a negro, who was
injured seriously, and the probable
wounding of a white daan, who, it
seems, is being secreted by the masked
men who accompanied him.
To-day local authorities received
word from J. W. Woodall, a wealthy
planter there, that the trouble between
whites and blacks had reached
a crisis and aid was needed. The
Macon Telegraph will say in the
morning that investigation of affairs
at Milien shows the agitation dying
down. According to Bud Blackburn,
19 masked white mpn bastinadoed
him at dead of night three weeks ago
and a vigilance committee has been
whipping negroes regularly.
Woodall says that Atwater was
dead and that one white man was
killed by him before he died during
last night's fight, when the night riders
visited Atwater's home. The
identity of the white man is kept a
secret. A Milien physician says that
no white man was killed, although
there might have been one wounded 1
and that Atwater is living.

Find Negro Gnilty.
Newark, Ohio, Dec. 17.?The jury J
in the case of Montella Watha, the c
Haytien "negro, charged with first <
degree murder in connection with the t
lynching of Carl Etherington, an 8
Anti-saloon league detective, re- ]
turned a verdict of manslaughter today.
r
The jury had been out since Fri- t
day afternoon at 3:45 o'clock and *
stayed up practically all night in
considering the case. The lynching of
Etherington occurred last July
and was due to the h:tter liquor fight,
the saloons rema-' .ag open for a
year in Newark after the county had
voted "dry."
The Anti-saloon league sent Ethrington
into town to get evidence
against the saloonists, and the riot
followed. This is the first conviction
of rioters in the case, others
having been convicted on minor offenses.
Over 20 more alleged rioters
are to be tried.

Running Fight With Robbers. <
Grand Junction, Colo., Dec. 19.?
After a running battle last night between
a posse and three robbers who
had looted a general merchandise
store at Clifton, six miles from here,
one of the robbers was killed and the
other two captured.
Four small boys who were hunting
rabbits three miles South of Clifton
discovered the robbers in a deserted
dug-out. Three of the boys covered
the robbers with their small calibre
rifles while the fourth went for help.
Before the officers arrived the robbers
succeeded in making the three boys ni-iennora
and fnrppri thpm to oarrv a
portion of the stolen goods for eight
miles. When the posse overtook
them, each of the robber seized a boy
and used him as a shield to protect
them from the fire of the pursuers,
meanwhile keeping up a running fire
from their revolvers.
W. H. Harrison, father of two of .
the boys and leader of the posse, took
a desperate chance and shot one of
the robbers, who was holding Harrison's
son before him, through the
head, killing him instantly. The other
robbers then surrendered. '
