L. | , Surratt, who is about 40 years old, I , yesterday. There are various reports B&:\ as to the origin of the difficulty, the [ H|p parties to the trouble having made [ statements that are widely apart. [ Officers were summoned shortly IV after the affray, but Surratt was not I: locked up until this morning about 9 I o'clock, when he was arrested by |?r| ' Sheriff Kay and Deputy Reid between | Walhalla and Seneca as he was walking along a road leading into the I main highway.

EgV His first impulse was to leave, but - that later he decided to give himHsK* self over to the authorities. '.Addis states that he and his son were driving to their home and had ^ - passed Surratt yesterday, but that |?; later Surrat overtook them and ask^d if they wished to pass. The reply according to Addiss. was that he did not wish to pass, but that he, |i:.: Surratt, had it in for young Addiss, g whereupon the old man says he got out of his buggy and began to reason with Surratt who pulled a pistol and fired. The shot took effect in Addiss's stomach and the result is indefinite. Doctors so.far have been I;; unable to locate the bullet. pr | FIGHT WITH MADDENED BEAST. American Tells of Encounter with Infuriated Elephant. New York, Oct. 25.?Mr. Carl Akeley, an American naturalist and explorer, who is making a brief halt in London before returning to America after two years in Africa "after elephants," on behalf of the American Museum of Natural History, New York, vary nearly lost, his life in his quest of specimens, says a London dispatch to the New York Herald. It is, indeed, surprising that he is now alive to tell the tale of how a wild elephant attacked him. and knocked him down, attempted to gore him anH finaliv left him for dead. U&UA MUU A*u.M*4y "I set out with a few native boys to discover, if possible, the altitude to which elephants go," says Mr. Akeley. "We went to the top of Mount Kenya, about 17,000 feet, found a herd and followed it quietly fbr two days. They led us round I the mountain until we lost sight of | them in a bamboo forest. Suddenly, ! without warning, we heard somej thing coming on us. Before I could seize a gun a great bull elephant dashed through the bamboos straight at me and struck me with its trunk. "I was falling face downward, but luckily, as I fell, I had sufficierit pres- ( ence of mind to twist my body in the air and grab the lowering tusks in ?T tirionf Hnwn flat r?T) mV LLiy uauuo. X nvm, , back, but I managed to do the one thing needful to prevent the animal goring me?I forced my body be- ; tween its tusks. j "I remember seeing the little angry eyes and hearing him making a noise between a hiss and a grunt as J his tusks ground into the earth and ' his head came upon my chest, but ! that is all I do remember. "Four and a half hours afterward, so I was told, I regained conscious- < ness. The elephant had left me for ! dead; so had my boys, for it is against their religion to touch a dead body. But I heard them chattering a little distance away, and shouted to them. Very astonished, they came to me and sent off runners for help. I was almost done for, but not quite, and they rigged up a stretcher for me and carried me back to camp." SHOOTS WHOLE FAMILY. Desperate Deed of Enraged Railway Conductor. Parkersburg, W. Va., Oct. 29.? Carrol L. James, a railroad conductor of tbis city, shot and killed bis father-in-law, ; William Pritchard; probably fatally wounded his mother-in-law; sightly injured his wife, and committed suicide to-day, at Pennsboro, W. Va. James broke into the Pritchard home and caught his victims while they slept. He made no effort to harm his four-year-old daughter, who occupied the bed with her mother and grandmother. Beginning of Trouble. The tragedy follows a series of 1 sensational occurrences here, about six weeks ago, when James shot Sey- , mour Kuhn, of Fairmont, W. Va., a' 1 fellow railroader, whom he alleged , that he had found with his wife at the James home. Kuhn's injury was slight. James brought suit for divorce and Mrs. James brought a counter suit. * During the taking of depositions in the sufts last Monday, Mrs. James gave evidence which resulted in the arrest, two days later, of her husband and George Mitter, of Grafton, W. Va., an express messenger, on the charge of conspiracy to defraud the United States Express Company. Threatened "Tribe," Alleged. James was 10 nave reueiveu a yicliminary hearing next Tuesday on the conspiracy charge. It is said that he worried greatly over the matter and was embittered against his wife and her family. It is alleged that he threatened that he would "kill the whole Pritchard tribe," and the shooting to-day was an apparent effort to fulfill his threat. James quietly forced his way into the Pritchard house, at Pennsboro, at 2 o'clock; going to the second floor he entered the room occupied by his wife, young daughter and his mother-in-law. Without a word he began firing. Both Women Struck. The shots were directed at the two women. One bullet struck Mrs. Pritchard in the arm and another hit Mrs. James in the hip. James then stepped into the next bed room and saw his father-in-law rising from his bed. He fired directly into Mr. Prichard's face. The ball passing through the mouth, killing him instantly. Returning to the other room, James found his wife gone, but his mother-in-law was still there. Twice more he shot her, the bullets lodging in her left foot and right arm. James then went in pursuit of his wife. An open rear door indicated the direction in which she went and he came upon her a short distance from the house. He had two pistols and pulled the triggers of each in an atemptet to kill her. Chokes and Kicks Wife. The cylinders were empty. Placing the revolvers in his pocket, he caught her by the throat and choked her. As the woman sank to the ground, with her young child holding to her skirts crying, James beat and kicked her and fled only at the approach of a neighbor, who heard the child's cries. James ran back to the Pritchard home. There he reloaded one of the revolvers and killed himself. This is a sad world for the woman who is married to a profesional funny man. Twenty-Four Hours to Leavae. Columbia, Oct. 28.?Securing his parole from the governor of South Carolina and having the seal of the State stamped on the paper showing him to he free, Joseph Beckwith, one of the most noted pickpockets in the country, left the penitentiary Thursday afternoon. He was required by the governor to leave the State within 24 hours after securing his release. Chief Cathcart, of the Columbia police, detailed several men to watch Beckwith and see that he left the city. Joseph Beckwith is well known to the police throughout the country. He is sometimes known as "Red Mike" and when arrested here claimed Chicago as his home. For the past four years he has languished behind the walls of the State penitentiary hoping for freedom, and it came by the act of the governor. During the fair of 1906 there Were a number of robberies reported to the police. A watch was s c with the result that _Beckwith and his two "pals," J. W. Parker ana a man by the name of Schultz, were arrested at the State fair grounds while in the act of relieving a visitor of his money. Schultz and Beckwith were convicted in the Richland county court and sentenced to 10 years each in the State penitentiary. Just before the trial a man giving his name as Miller and claiming to be an attorney came to Columbia to represent the men. One day he was riding on a car with W. C. Cathcart, the present chief of police of Columbia. He handed Mr. Cathcart a package of chewing gum. Opening the package a litle verse entitled "Forget It" appeared before the eyes of the officer. The man Miller then handed Mr. Cathcart $200 in money and told him to forget what he knew about the robberies. Miller was arrested. He gave bond of $1,500 and left the State. Parker also gave a cash bond of $1,500 and left the State. The Amsterdam diamond trade is in the hands of ten firms, employing ten thousand workmen. FARMERS' UXION MEETINGS.

Why Suffer From Eczema? A GEORGIA MAN TELLS HIS EXPERIENCE. I was afflicted with a very bad case of Eczema for twenty-five years, which was in my feet, legs and hips. Through all this time I tried different remedies and Doctors' prescriptions, obtaining no relief until I used your HUNT'S CURE. One box (50c) cured me entirely, and though two years have elapsed I have had no return ' of the trouble. Naturally I regard it as the greatest remedy in the world. Yours, J. P.
