if they wished to pass. The reply
according to Addiss. was that he
did not wish to pass, but that he,

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

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.

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,
