WOMAN SHOOTS YOUNG MAN.
Chicago Architect Wounded by Mrs.
H. B. Coney.
; Chicago, Sept 7.?Robert Bruce
; Watson, one of the best known young
! architects in Chicago, was shot by a
5 mysterious woman in front of his
i residence to-day. Watson was taken
to a hospital. The woman was ari
rested.
She gave her name as Mrs. H. B.
Coney and admitted she fired the shot.
She would give no reason for the
act. She is 35 years old and has
been living at a well known town
hotel.
Watson was a former State architect,
and at one time city architect.
Mrs. Coney in a statement to the
police said:
"I have known Watson for a long
time. I went to see him at his home
to-day, and he would not let me in.
I could not bear being turned down,
so l waited tor aim ouisiae, ana
when he came along I shot him
twice. I didn't mean to kill him. I
just wanted to stop him from leaving
me. That is all I will say."
Mrs. Coney filed suit for divorce
from her husband last February, but
it was dismissed and a counter suit
filed by him was sustained.
Neither Watson nor the woman
would make any further statement
as to the cause of the shooting.
Watson's injuries are not dangerous.
Notaries Must be "My Friends.
The following is the copy of a letter
of the governor to Senator Sullivan,
of Anderson county which was
secured and published by the State

Hon. G. W. Sullivan, Williamston, S.
C.
. Dear Sir: I have received an application
from James Walter Kelly,

unless you can personally certify that
Mr. Kelly is a friend of mine-1 cannot
and will not commission him;
and in this I wish you would make
a thorough examination so as to
1 make no- mistake when you give your
i certificate. Very respectfully,

PASTOR IN TROUBLE.
Missouri Minister Admits "Injudicious"
Conduct and Quits.
Clarence, Mo., Sept. 6.?A letter
written by Rev. H. Norwood Johnson
to a young woman of his congrega
tion and a letter written to the minister
by Oscar Callison, an official
of the church, it is believed, are the
causes of the pastor's sudden withdrawal
from the Southern Methodist
ministry and his departure from
Clarence.
"God knows my sin," was Johnson's
explanation.
In a letter to the presiding elder
he wrote: "I have not been guilty
of immorality, but injudicious conduct
through correspondence."
Johnson's "injudicious" letter, it
is said, was written to a young woman
who showed marked admiration
for him and was a frequent caller at
his home.
The letter was found by the woman's
sister and was shown to Callison.
He wrote the minister later.
Hosiery Mill Matter.
Columbia, Sept. 2.?"The matter
will be finally decided within the
next few weeks," said Solicitor
Cobb yesterday when asked what action
he will take with reference to
the hosiery mill at the State penitentiary.
Several weeks ago the governor
addressed a letter to Solicitor Cobb,
asking that he bring action to abolish
the hosiery mill at the penitentiary
on the grounds that it is "a
common nuisance."
By the statement of Solicitor
Cobb is is supposed that he will not
refer the matter to the Richland
county grand jury, although Mr.
Cobb may decided to take this action
later.

BOY ROBBERS IiOSE NERVE.
Disastrous Results, to Boys, of At- ]
tempted Train Robbery.
New York, Sept. 7.?Because
their nerve was not equal to the un- t
forseen emergencies, four boys rang- 1
ing in age from 14 to 17 years, are i
in the Harrison jail, after a valiant (
start but disastrous finish, at train ]
robbing. c
A Philadelphia express on the i
Pennsylvania Railroad, was the train 2
which the boys, Theodore Plevis, i
William and Frederick Jops and (
Williams Wolf, planned to rob. They t
flagged the train and covered the t
engineer with a shotgun. -

only laughed and by his wit,
managed to hold the attention-of the I
lads until the conductor, brakeman I
and several passengers came running C
up. Then the boys' courage wilted <3
and they fled. Six minutes delay was c
the only "loss" attributed to the t
hold-up. c
Railroad detectives to-day found 1
the boys hiding in a barn, where they
had remained in terror all night (
The last chapter of the hold-up will o
be told in the Juvenile court fco-mofr- n
row. o
Nails Cause of Bloody Battle.
Pensacola, Sept. 5.?Nails driven
into pine trees "boxed" for tunpentine
are said to be the cause of the
bloody feud between the Cooleys and ?
the Gays in Santa Rosa county, which
has so far resulted in the death of ^
three of the Cooleys.
A member of the Cooley family ^
leased turpentine timber to the Gays h
and when the first nails were found
one accused the other of doing the j,
work. It is said that the nails were Vj
driven by the children. The objec- ^
tion to the nails in turpentine trees is j
that when the "chipper" strikes a
nail while at work the hack, an
axe-like instrument, is broken. ^
. The nails led to much talk of
shooting and recently Dan Gay saw ^
a Cooley riding with a shotgun on
his arm near the Gay commissionary.
Gay shot and killed Cooley, but the
coroner's verdict was justifiable horn- ?
icide. j ^
On Friday of last week Arch and
Alf Cooley were killed in ambush.
Gay and Walter Rivenbark were ar- ^
Ci
rested last night, charged with assault
and with intent to kill James
Cooley, a brother of Dan. Jt<

CHARGE OF RAPE DISMISSED.
Magistrate Collins and J. P. Matthews
Released at Florence. * !
Florence, Sept. 7.?The cases of
he State vs Magistrate Mack C. Colins
~and Mr. J. P. Matthews, both of
vhich were charged with rape, were
sailed before Magistrate C. Seymour
McCleneghan, at this place yesterlay,
they having been bound over
inder a bond of $1,000'each, and,
tfter hearing the evidence of a large
lumber of witnesses, Magistrate McCleneghan
dismissed the case against
>otn or tnese aerenoants, ne navmg
o his satisfaction found nothing in
rtther of the cases that warranted or
ailed for oither man being bound
>ver or sent up to the higher court.
Both men returned to their homes
ast night. There was a large crowd
iresent from the Oak Grove and
towards section to hear the trial and
ne would have thought that the
ourt of general session of the couny
was in session judging from the
srowd that was around the court
louse during the trial.
It is stated that the warrants for
tollins and Matthews were sworn
ut by relatives of the young woman
ipon whom it was alleged that the
utrage was committed.
