? ( > , SHOT ON STREETS. Howell Cooper Victim of Henry Cor^ ley's Pistol. Salley, Oct. 28.?This usuall) quiet little town was the scene ofwhal f is pvnpf.tftd to terminate in a terribh tragedy last night, and the hearts o1 the good people of the town are sac today over the probable mortal wounding of Howell Cooper by Henrj H. Corley about 9 o'clock. The shooting occurred on the streets o) E S-alley. i v Both parties to the affair arc > prominent young unmarried merchants of this town, and were num; r bered among the leaders in enterprise and thrift. Wounded Man's Statement. In what is supposed to be his dyf ing testimony, given before James H, [ i i Fanning, attorney and notary public of Springfield, Mr. Fanning having ' 3.. been sent for this morning, Mr. Coopi $ er, who seems to realize that he can | not live, stated that last evening he |yj entered the store of Mr. Corley, and ^ they engaged in an argument, in the Jst - presence of Mr. D. Hammond Salill ley; that it becoming dark, he left and, securing a lantern at the drug I store of Dr. Gardner, returned to the store of Mr. Corley, where, after H showing Mr. Corley that his pistol wouldn't shoot, he threw the same or k the floor, which was later picked up and handed to him; that he left with Pi Henry H. Corley, who closed the K store; D. Hammond Salley and Dr. p- Robert Gardner; that the three parK ties named were walking ahead ol him as he came along with the borrowed lantern. Receives Two Bullets. Continuing the wounded man said that somewhere near the water trough Mr. Corley called to him not !to follow him, and that he replied that he was not following him, but ^ was simply returning the borrowed u. lantern, when Mr. Corley turned and immediately shot him twice, one ball I entering about where the neck and - chest meet and the second going into his abdomen, entering from neaT the point of the right hip. i'i . After the shooting Mr. Cooper was I * assisted to the cfrug store by Mr. f * Hanmmond Sailey, and later taken ?. to his home, where he was attended by Dr. Robert Gardner and Dr. H. J. Salley, who called in Dr. Paul A. * Phillips this morning. After holding a consultation, the wounded man was hurried to the Columbia Hospit* al, where an operation will be perI formed.

Hammond Salley. The prominence of the parties concerned ; only adds to the Seriousness of the * v i : matter. Both Well Connected. ij:;: ... Mr. Howell Cooper was raised If from his infancy by his uncle and k - ^ # TT^ 11 iaunt, tne ?tev. ana ivirs. nuwen Cooper, the fbrmer of whom died ^ several years ago. The grief of his . aged aunt, bent with the weight of time, fully fourscore years old, as she bent her white head over the | strong form of him who was dearer to her than a child, as she had never ? known any other motherhood, was almost beyond the power of descripr tion. Mr. Henry H. Corley is a son of Mr. John Corley, a highly respected gentleman, and is connected with the well-known Salley family. Both parties have many connections in this town and section, who regret the de\ plorable affair. No Trouble Expected. C Springfield, Oct. 28.?News has been received here of the death of Wade Tyler, the negro wounded in A Springfield Wednesday night, and who was implicated in assisting Ar thur Bowen to escape. Tyler was I shot by a member of the mob which was endeavoring to prevent Sheriff Salley from taking him to the Orangeburg county jail. It seems to be known who is responsible for Tyler's death. No trouble is expected from the negroes of this community, as they did not like Tyler, who was said to have been of a harsh and overbearing nature among his color, he having killed a negro by the name of t Jenkins several years ago. Tylei jr was a very powerful mulatto and prominent in midnight societies. His L " body will be brought back here by his relatives for burial. Thefre are no new developments I in the case of Arthur Bowen, the negro charged with attempted criminal assault, and he is now thought to have changed his course and crossed | the Savannah river into Georgia.

Springfield, Oct. 26.?For a time to-night this town was in the hands of a mob, as the result of the arrest of Wade Tyler, a negro, who is charged with assisting Arthur Bowen, the negro accused of attempting to assault a prominent white woman of this community, and for who officers have been searching for several days. Wade Tyler Arrested. For the first time during the hunt for Arthur Bowen the officers of the Law and citizens assisting have struck the right trail, and it is now a matter of time before Bowen will be captured. From indications pointing to the proper persons assisting the al leged criminal to escape, warrants were sworn out charging Wade Tyler, with several other persons, with aiding Bowen to escape and resisting an officer in the discharge of his duties. Under this warrant, Wade Tyler, considered a notorious leader of the lawless element, was arrested while passing through town. He was armed and made, or atempted to make, some resistance, but was speedily overpowered and placed in the city jail, where he is closely guarded. The wife of Tyler attempted to shoot an officer of the law, and, it is said, would have done so but for the vigilance of the arresting officer, who laid her skull open with the barrel of his rifle. Both Well Armed. Tyler and his wife had a fine pistol, repeating rifle and double-barrelled shotgun, all of which were recently greased and loaded. Tyler is said to be the man who carried Bowen off, and the negro who is thought to have continued the job will be arrested, if he is not already in custody. The negro Masons and Odd Fellows, it seems, took up Bowen and after furnishing him an abundance of ready cash, attempted to get him on a northbound train for Philadelphia. It is now practically certain that he will be arrested and brought to justice. Sheriff Salley, of Orangeburg, arrived at Springfield after the usual difficulties with a machine, and proceeded to carry Wade Tyler to the county jail. His arrival was too late, as a large number of the parties interested had visited a nearby liquor shop and the inevitable drunken men were in evidence. Prisoner Receives Bullet Wound. After many difficulties, Sheriff SalIav assist Ad bv several policemen, attempted to enter the city jail and place Tyler in a waiting automobile, but just as the sheriff waa placing the negro in the machine, the mob surged around the sheriff, jerking him back, when some unknown party shot the prisoner in the side or hip. The extent of his wounds are unknown, as he was speedily driven away by Dr. Henson Bolin, from the town of Neeses, who was in charge of the machine. The town was for a time absolutely in the hands of the raging mob and no concerted action had been taken to prevent anything that may happen. / During the melee a party from a nearby town is said to have attempted to shoot a orominent citizen of this aection, when he was knocked senseless and his jaw bone is said to be broken. This is only one of the several incidents that happened in the last few days, that proves the temper and judgment of mob rule. Norris Staley, Napoleon StaJey and Smoothing Gibbs are said to be implicated and all of them are prominent in the negro secret societies. Town Quiets Down. At 9:30 o'clock the town had quieted down, and the* danger of a general race riot, which seemed imminent, had passed over. A number of determined men are still on the trail of Bowen, some not having slept for the past three nights, who are being relieved by volunteers, who are taking up the trail. A number of prominent relatives of the outraged family have arrived from some distance and have placed at the disposal of the officers any sum of money neeaea ror uie proper hunt of the fugitive. The indications made by this correspondent in his first dispatch have been verified, in that Bowen was headed for Philadelphia and not for Florida. Former Deputy Convicted. Macon, Ga., Oct. 27.?W. B. Norton, of this city, former deputy sheriff, was found guilty to-day of the murder of R. L. Smith, of Jones county, and was sentenced to life imprisonment. Smith was killed while Norton was searching for a negro desperado in the northern part of this county. Norton came upon a wagon suddenly in the section in which the negro was thought to be hiding, and when the wagon failed to stop when ordered to do so, he fired into it, fatally injuring Smith. \ 0 ^' ' ''' : || Car of horses and mules for this season.
