DESPERADO ARRESTED.
South Carolina Murderer Arrested at fi
- Barber's Junction.
Deputies Thompson and Kimball
several nights ago arrested Charlie I
Young, colored, who has been play- e
ing the part of a desperado among a
the colored people of the Southern n
part of the county and who is thought 1
to have committed murder in Ches- *
teffleld county, S. C. n
Young went to the homes of sev- 13
eral colored people in the vicinity of
Barber several months ago and by *
threats compelled them to board and 1
shelter him. He declared he had been c
the death of several people and would *
kill any one who told of his where- c
abouts or failed to give him what he G
asked for in the way of food and t
shelter. He kept the negroes terror- 15
ized for several months, but they 0
finally plucked up courage enough to c
tell Deputy Thompson, who resides E
in the Barber neighborhood, of the
desperate character in their midst
and he, together with Deputy Kimball
made the arrest several nights p
ago. i]
. Young was placed in jail and pho- a
tographs made which were sent to a n
number of South Carolina towns, to- a
gether with a full description of the h
desperado. " A
A telegram was received yester- v
day from the authorities of Chester- 1J
field county saying that Young was o
wanted there for "murder and that h
there was a reward vof $50 out for n

Young has a half dozen aliases and d
is evidently a very bad character. a
An officer from South Carolina will tl
doubtless come up for the despera- n

childlike, would not agree to
ive with either of his sons, and was
nly satisfied tn^a small house to
imself, so his son, Dr. J. R: McCorlack
fitted up a small house for his
ather hear his own residence, in orer
that he might be able to give him
11 necessary attention. This is where
tie old gentleman has resided for a
umber of years. The doctor left
is father in his little, home just an
our previous to the fire and the fire
as discovered by his little boy while
hey were at supper. The doctor
ashed to the scene, but the entire

ould be done to save his father. Afar
the house was destroyed the re
lains of Mr. McCormack were found j
