OUTLAWS BEGGEI) FOR FOOD. Mountaineer's Story Spurs Posses to Renewed Efforts. _____ I "rT- A ! - A mnsvme, va., apm o.?accuiujus to "Sug" Smith, who lives over Mount Airy way toward the Carolina line, Sidna Allen and Wesley Edwards, the two court house assassins, came to his cabin last night and begged for food. Allen came to his door, he said, and Edwards stood guard. Allen declaied neither had taken food that day. They got none from Smith and took to the mountains. The mountaineer feared to tell the detectives until midnight, and it was morning when a posse took up the trail. Sheriff Haynes, of Mount Airy, took the blood hounds, but they refused to scent the trail, and * + lue pusse wem uu cm oiunu o u.ncctions. The posses are posting copies of Gov. Mann's proclamation calling upon all citizens to withhold aid from the fugitive outlaws. Allen and Edwards are the only free men of the gang of eight, which on March 14 raided Carroll county court house and murdered five persons, three of them officers of the court. Texan Offends House Members. Washington, April 4.?Representative Randell, of Texas, a Democrat, aroused indignation among members of the house to-day when he charged that many congressmen were "unapproachable" while engaged in legislative work. "I make the assertion," he declared, "that nearly every member of this house is in the employ of some interest or is subject to some influence, and what holds true of the house is equally true of the Senate. I say this with the hope that I may hurt 110 one's feelings." The Texas member was discussing his bill before the judiciary committee to prohibit any federal employee whomsoever from receiving any retainer from any corporation engaged in Inter-State commerce. "Few men are guilty of being corruptly influenced, but the fact remains that they are subject to influences which this bill, if enacted into law, would remove," he declared. Representative Nye, of Minnesota, a Republican, took exception to Mr. Randell's allegations. Mr. Nye said it would be better for the author of the bill, the house and the couatry, if Mr. Randell would appeal from the committee to the house, "instead of reflecting indirectly on the membership of the house." Mr. Randell protested he meant ** no reflection on any one and said that nothing he had said could be so construed. The incident was dropped. DECLARES WIFE TOO LOVING. Chicago Couple's Marital Troubles Aired Before Chicago Judge. Chicago, April 5.?Too much display of affection by Mrs. Jos. Reckinger toward her husband brought the couple into the Court of Domestic D + f A_rlotr ivuiaiivuo ivuaj. Reckinger told Judge Goodenow that his wife was not content to caress him and listen to his repeated declarations of love at home, hut she followed him to his office. Not only did she interfere with his business, * but her continued display of affection became very tiresome to him, declared Reckinger, so he left her and their two children. Mrs. Reckinger asked .that ber husband be forced to return home, ''Ail I can do," said Judge Goodenow, "is to see that he provides for your support and that of the children. No wife ought to interfere with her husband's business by following him around. On the other hand, a husband ought to jolly his wife as much as possible." Reckinger was ordered to pay his wife ?30 a month. As he left the court room his wife clung to his arm. FOUND DEAD AT ROADSIDE. Orangeburg Farmer Accidentally Kills Himself. Orangeburg, April 4.?The dead body of Mr. G. Walter Zeigler, a resident of the Fork, a few miles from this city, was found some time early this morning in the public road near Cordova. The deceased had been shot in the body with a load of shot from a gun, presumably his own, which he carried, and which was found near the body in the road, with the stock broken and one barrel discharged. The coroner has made an investigation with a jury, and a verdict of accident has been rendered. There seems to be no grounds for any other conclusion, and the verdict will probablv be accented. Mr. Zeigler was a widower and leaves two children and one brother and several sisters. He was a prominent farmer of his section. See the new novels at The Herald Book Store.

The shot from a gun loaded with No. 7 shot took effect in Simmons's left arm and side. The participants in the shooting are brothers-in-law. The affair took place at Hall's home. There were no witnesses to the shooting and the exact cause cannot be definitely ascertained, although Hall claims selfdefence. Up to a late hour this evening the wounded man was resting quietly. T j 51 rCTA Wrdirt. (riven at Barnwell. Barnwell, April 5.?After deliberating several hours the jury in the case of A. M. Keels vs. Atlantic Coast Line Railway company this morning found a verdict for the plaintiff in the sum of $10,000. This case was suit for damages in the amount of $50,000 for personal injuries sustained several months ago while Mr. Keels was discharging his duties as section master. Mr. Keels was returning home from work on his hand j car and after rounding a curve saw a train bearing down on him. The brake on the car refused to work and to avoid being mixed in the collision he jumped, but landed on a piece of wood lying by the track, which threw him under his car. He was badly, injured, and will probably be a cripple for life. A motion wlil be made for a new trial. FIXE OF $20,000 SUSTAINED. Ignorance no Excuse, Rules Court in Savnannah Rebate Case. New Orleans, La., April 4.?A penalty of $20,000 fine, imposed by Judge Emory Speer, upon the Merchants' and Miners' Transportation Company in the United States District Court, was affirmed here to-day _ ? by the United States Circuit court or i Appeals. I The case practically involved the I giving of rebates to shippers through I the application of freight rates lower I than those filed with the Inter-State I commerce commission. The Mer- I chants' and Miners' Transportation I Company offered testimony intended I to show that it was honestly mistaken I as to the precise rates legally appli- I cable to the shipments described in I the indictment. The rates were filed I with the Inter-State commerce com- I mission by the Atlantic Coast Line I and Seaboard Air Line Railways and 1 were applicable to shipments moving \ from Philadelphia by way of Savan nah to Jacksonville, na., tne trans- ? portation by water from Philadel- u phia to Savannah being furnished by I the Merchants' and Miners' Company. I The steamship company filed with JP the commission a concurrence in the K tariff. Judge Speer ruled that rail- v ways and steamship companies were bound legally to know all rates estab- 'V lished by them and that any testi- jy mony tending to prove that the in- |j correct rate has been exacted by 1 inadvertence was not admissible. ^ This ruling was sustained by the ) circuit court and the fine was imposed 1 in accordance with Judge Speer's de- 5 cision. In this case the rebates were given to Miller & Sons, grain dealers of Philadelphia, Pa. : KILLS FRIEND AT FIRESIDE. Slayer's Mother Tells of Greenville County Tragedy. Greenville, April 7.?As an aged J mother, her son and his friend were ] seated about the fireside of the home 1 near Travellers' Rest, about 1 o'clock 9 Saturday night, the son, who is said | to nave been drinking neavuy, suddenly drew a revolver from kis pocket and fired a bullet through the brain of his companion, killing him instantly. At the coroner's inquest held this afternoon, the mother, Mrs. Anna Nichols, who was the only witness to the tragedy, testnied against her son, D. Harris Nichols, a man 30 years of age. '4 She stated that her son and his g friend, Newton Hitt, an 18-year-old | boy, came home at 11 o'clock Satur- ? day night. Her son, she stated, was drunk, but so far as she could-tell i young Hitt was not drinking. The two came into the house and Harris Nicli- i els prepared two eggnogs, one of j | which he took himself. The other he j I nffprprl to his comnanion. but the i I young fellow is said to have declined i it. Mother, son and guest were seated about the fire two hours later, when Harris Nichols, without warning, j drew his pistol and shot his com- j panion dead on the floor. Nichols has been placed in the! county jail and a warrant charging i him with murder is to be issued Mon- j day by the coroner. The parties j are rather prominent in that section, Mrs. Nichols owning considerable property. SPECIAL NOTICE. All parties are hereby warned nol > plow into the public roads of the >unty.
