Sumter, Jan. 15.?The city of
t. Sumter is about one thousand dollars
better off by reason of the recent
F "blind tilger" trials and convictions.
The cage containing those charged
with being a menace to the public
* good and safety has about been emptied,
and the city's coffers proportionately
filled. Not a single "tiger"
has yet escaped, the trials and convictions

the city to no trouble in establishing <
their guilt. Deputy Sheriff Sykes
has been a conspicuous spectator
during the trials. He sits complacently
by, watching the progress of
the trials, and has nothing to say to
those who acknowledge their guilt
other than to introduce them to the
United States revenue collector, who
is also an interested spectator. Those
who demand jury trials and are
found "guilty," are taken in charge
by the deputy and held for trial on
V the same charge under the State
law.
The trials will commence again at
'i-i 10 o'clock on Monday morning, and
will continue until all of the cases
are disposed of.

LYNCHING IN KENTUCKY.
Mob Attacks Jail and Takes Three
Negro Prisoners. i
1
Shelbyville, Ky., Jan. 14.?Storming
the Shelby county jail here early
\ this morning, a mob composed of less
than 100 men seized and lynched
three negroes, two of whom were
charged with assaulting white girls
I and the third sentenced to hang for
the murder of his wife and held in
jv- I
jail until the day for his execution
v could be set.
The three were lynched in different
places, and what first seemed to
have been a single lynching was
found to have been a triple one only
4 '
with the finding of the three bodies.
1 Two Hanged to Bridge.
The body of Eugene Marshal, sentenced
to hang for the murder of his ,
wtife, whom he had beheaded, was
fj: found hanging to a bridge over the <
f Eminence Pike, only a snort distance j
from the jail. <
Jim West, employed as a chauffeur
for several months and who, it <
is said, had been seen throwing kisses
at white girls, and who was charg- i
% ed with assaulting the daughter of
a Shelby county farmer, was one of
the victims. He, too, was hanged to
the bridge.
Wade Patterson, the third negro ;
lynched, was also charged with assaulting
a white woman.
Body Thrown Into Creek. i
Patterson attempted to escape ;
^ from the mob and was shot and his
body thrown into a creek.
The mob which attacked the jail
went about its work quietly and few
persons knew of the triple lynching
until the bodies were found several
hours later.
Few of the mob were masked. The
jail lock was smashed with a sledge
u hammer and there was little diffi
culty in getting to the prisoners.
According to Deputy Jailer Hornback,
Jailer Edward Thompson hid
the jail keys when the mob appeared
and later, when the mob became
more insistent, Hornback let the men
..." *
into the jail office.
"They said there were three ne.
groes here they were going to get or
( else blow up the jail," Hornback
said. "They kept yelling for the
dynamite, while some of the mob
started to beat on the cell locks with
a sledge hammer. About 12 men
had their guns pointed at me, demanding
the keys, but I insisted I
did not know where they were. Finally,
at 3:25, they broke open the

COST OF LIVING LESS.
"Corner" in Food Products on Verge
of Dissolution.
Chicago, Jan. 15.?Millions of
pounds of butter, eggs, cheese and
poultry held in the cold storage
warehouses here will be thrown on
the market before May 1 and a general
tumbling of food prices is expected
at once, according to commission
merchants. Numerous Chicago
commission men are said to be
facing failure as a result of their
efforts to maintain an artificial price
on the necessities of life. The inability
further to hold this price is
sain to ho duo to a combination of
circumstances, chief of which are
the open winter of 1911 and the
banner cropfc of 1910.
Three Already Down.
Three commission men failed in
the last week as the result of holding
great quantities of butter, which
they purchased and were unable to
market for more than 27 or 28 cents
per pound. While the wholesale
prices have dropped decidedly within
the last few weeks there has as
yet been no decline in the retail
prices. <
Much of the produce which is to
be unloaded on a falling market has '
been in the warehouse for as long
as five years. By means of cold stor- ,
age commission men have been able
to maintain an artificial price not
only to the consumer, but to the producer,
it is said.
No public warehouse report is ever
made here and the -exact amount of
produce in the hands of the Chicago
firms cannot be estimated. Thirtytwo
warehouses are known to have
44,000,000 pounds of butter, eggs
and poultry.
May be Much More.
Men familiar with the market say
it would be impossible to say whether
it was only a small percentage of
the entire amount.
The increased sale of oleomargertine
is given as an added cause of
the situation, the commission men
now find themselves facing thousands
of consumers who, unable to
pay the price at which butter has
been held, have becomes users of
oleomargerine.
Butter is six cents a pound lower
wholesale than it was a year ago and
is selling at the lowest figure in sev- ,
eral years.
An indication of the decline in the
last 10 days is shown in the following:
Some Declines. |
January 5?Eggs, fresh 34c.;
prime 32c.; firsts 30c.
January 15?Eggs, fresh 33c.; 4
prime 29c.; firsts 28c.
January 5?Butter, extra creamery
29c.; firsts 25 %c.; dairy 25c.
January 15.?Butter, extra cream- 1
ery 27c.; firsts 22c.; dairy 23c.
The wholesale price on smoked
meats, beef and pork has been slightly
reduced. .
Young Couple in Jail.
Newberry Jan. 14.?Mr. and Mrs. (
J. S. Roberts, who came to Newberry
from Georgia with the intention of
opening a moving picture show here,
are under arrest in the Newberry jail
on the charge of burglary. The arrest
was made by Sheriff Buford upon
a warrant based upon a message
from the sheriff of Bullock county,
Georgia.
The couple had been boarding with
Mr. E. H. Leslie and then rented a
house from Mr. J. W. Watts on
Nance street, where they were arrested.
Mr. and Mrs. Roberts are young ,
people. The husband is a young man
of good appearance and the wife is 1
an especially pretty woman. Roberts
is from Lexington, Ky., and his wife |
is from Pennsylvania.
When seen in the jail the couple
did not care to discuss the charge,
but said they were being imposed
upon. Sheriff Buford dislikes ex
ceeamgiy to Keep so pretty a woman
in jail.
Attacks Negro Minstrels
Benton, Ark., Jan. 14.?One negro
man was killed, and one negro
man and two negro women were in- jured
in a race riot here last night
following a performance by negro
minstrels from New Orleans. The
performers en route to their boarding
house were attacked by a party
of 15 or 20 unidentified white men.
Mayor M. H. Holloman has called on
all law-abiding citizens to assist in
running down the perpetrators of
what he terms "a crime that has disgraced
the community."
Child Burned to Death.
The little 4-year-old daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. M. B. Hall, of the Anderson
Mills village, was fatally
burned Saturday, dying a short time
afterwards. The child had been left
alone in the house for a short time,
when its clothes became ignited from
the open fire. She ran into the street
screaming, and when assistance arrived
was so badly burned that death
ensued within a few hours.?Anderson

WAS SHE STOLEN,
Girl Missing Nearly Thirty Years
Thought to Have Been Found.
Orangeburg, Jan. 10.?The old
saying that, truth is sometimes
stranger than fiction will be verified
if Lizzie M. Lewis, a woman about
35 years of age, now living at Sapul
ba, Okla., proves to be Lizzie, the
five-year-old daughter of Albert T.
and Caroline Cain, who is thought to
have been kidnapped while attending
a circus with her mother in this
city about thirty years ago. The circus
they visited was the John Robinson
circus, and Lizzie M. Lewis,
who is expected to come to this city
in a few days for the purpose of identification,
is now with that circus at
its winter quarters at Sapulba, Okla.
The disappearance of the little girl,
Lizzie M. Cain, created considerable
excitement at the time, and every

nothing could be heard concerning
the missing child.
Disappeared Mysteriously.
The disappearance of the child was
1 most peculiar. In company with her
mother and several other children,
Lizzie, then only five years of age,
visited the John Robinson circus one
afternoon in the fall of 1879. While
witnessing the performance the absence
of Lizzie was noted by her
mother, and a search was immediately
instituted, but no tidings of the
child ever came to the greatly distressed
father and mother.
The little girl was given up as
dead until a visit of this circus to

this city during last October. With
this circus was a young woman
whom friends of the Cain family
said resembled very much some of
the children of that family. It was
talked around that this womas was
the girl that was kidnapped about
thirty years ago. City Mail Carrier
O. D. Cain, a brother of the stolen
girl, who had not attended the circus,
was told of this woman. Cain
sought an interview with this woman
on the circus grounds, which she
readily granted.
Knows Very Little.
The woman seemed not to know
anything much concerning her early
life. She did not know where she
was born, who her mother was and
that she had ever known her mother.
She said she did not know whether
she was kidnapped or not, but from
her earliest recollections she had
been traveling with the Robinson circus.
She said she didn't know where

she was born, but thought that she
was about 35 years of age. She said
she was known as Lizzie M. Lewis '[AWM
by her associates in the circus.
This interview impressed Cain, 'SPl
and he asked her to keep him posted /S?
as to her whereabouts after she left
the city, which she has done. She
has expressed herself as willing to
mm* to this citv to be identified t?a!
whether or not she is a member of / S
the Cain family. She has been fent
transportation and is now on her way
to Orangeburg. This woman wrote
in one of her letters that when the,
circus left Orangeburg last October' \^|j
that one of the showmen stated that :j3?
she was leaving her home.
If this woman proves to be the ^|8|
kidnapped girl, the Cain family expect
to resort to legal proceedings
and see that justice is done.
