T1XDAL AXI) RUSH ALIVE. Not Browned in Santee?Rush Comes Back Home. Orangeburg, April 6.?A. J. Tindal and Barclay Rush are alive. They were not drowned while dynamiting for fish in the Santee River, near Eutawville on March 13 last, and while nearly every man in that section of "u .. ..one otitraffj 1 in VlCLIIgeUUig VUUUl* \\u.o .u dragging the river in efforts to recover the bodies of the supposed drowned men, the "victims" of what was believed, by some, a deplorable double tragedy, were quietly making their way to distant parts. The veil of mystery surrounding this affair has been torn away by no less a personoge than one of the supposed "victims** himself. Barclay Rush, in desh and blood, who arrived here this afternoon on the Atlantic Coast Line train from Augusta. As soon as Rush alighted he was recognized by an acquaintance and was later located at a boarding house in the city by the correspondent of The News and Courier. Rush talked freely of the affair and j at times was very much amused when i told of matters at this end in connection therewith. He laughed heartily when informed of the long and tireless search that had been made to recover his and Tindal's "bodies" from the swollen Santee, and again at the information that Tindal's will had been filed. Declaring that he and Tindal had nnarrolleirJ arirl sonnmtpd in AllSfUSta. 1 V4V*'* ^ V4.?~tV* w Ga., and that he had not heard from or of his late companion since, young Rush told a story substantially as follows: Rush's Recital. Tindal, accordin to Rush's statement, was heavily involved financially and in order to get rid of his troubles, hit upon the scheme of faking accidental drowning, urging him (Rush) to join in with the plan, to which the latter consented. The two went to the river, taking dynamite, also two extra hats, and these were the hatfe found floating on the water when a search was institut r* ed for the missing men, and which, in the minds of many, helped to confirm the drowning theory. After "planting" the "evidence" at the river, said Rush, the two prepared to take their departure cn the At ~ - T I lantic uoast .Lane tram ruuumg uctween Creston and Denmark, so they remained in hiding until the train reached Parler, several miles above Eutawville. They first got on the "blind baggage," but the porter ran them off, however, just before the train started, said Rush; they sneaked back and got on the rear steps N the last coach. They went as far as Denmark that night, March 13, then on to Augusta the next day. After being together in Augusta for four or five days, Rush says he and Tindal had a falling out and the latter left 'him, but where Tindal went or where he is now. Rush declares he does not know. Decided to Come Home. Relating his experience -after separating from his companion, young Rush says he "worked around" until he landed in Alabama, but the only work he could get to do there was too hard for him, so he decided to return to his home, wording his way back. At the time of the supposed drowning of Tindal and Rush, the Santee River section of Orangeburg County was greatly stirred over the affair. Tindal was a prominent young farmer, of splendid family connection and was to all appearances successful in busi- j npss Ra.rclav Rush was employed to I assist in conducting Tindal's farm operations. When the two young men failed to return from the river, where they stated they were going to dynamite for fish, on March 13, their relatives and fiiends became apprehensive and immediately began a search. Their hats floating on the river, the overturned and damaged boat and other circumstances plainly indicated that they had met death either by being killed outright by dynamite or had been so badly injured that they were unable to swim ashore when their boat upset; therefore they were given up for dead and for days the river was searched by dozens of people, whose efforts were not rewarded by the recovery of the "bodies." Whispers and "Slanders." Soon, however, it began to be whispered around that, perhaps, a search on land would produce more satisfactory results; then there were stories in the newsnaDers intimatine that. after all, there probably had been no tragedy. The friends of the supposed "deceased" became indignant at the "foul attacks upon their memeries," etc., and strongly resented insinuations that Tindal and Rush had not met the fate claimed. A little later Tindal's will, dated March 1, was filed here with the Judge of Pro/ hate, and this circumstance caused a renewal of gossip concerning the affair. However, the people about here apparently decided to give the young men the benefit of the doubt and discussion of the affair was practically at an end, when arrives Bar\ JACKSON AND THE LAW.

The story of his trial for contempt of court in Xew Orleans is always impressive even if amusing too.

Jackson maintained martial law in the city longer than the civil authorities thought necessary, and a publication which appeared antagonizing it was held by Jackson as aiming to rouse sedition in the army, so he had the author arrested and tried by court martial. A Judge of the Supreme Court of the United States issued a writ of habeas corpus in favor of the j offender. Jackson held this as a vio| lation of martial law and ordered the Judge arrested and expelled from the city. When the military rule was set aside the Judge in his turn called Jackson to court to show reason why he should not be fined for contempt - ? j i.1 ... w of court.

The groom was likewise dressed in his bathing suit. The minister wore the ordinary clerical costume. At the appropriate moment the groom produced from a mysterious recess of his costume the wedding ring. The minister concluded the ceremony with placing the ring on the trembling finger of the bride, which was the signal for a mighty cheer by the crowd. Blease on Tillman's Letter.

Levy, a negro mail clerk, running on the Southern between Columbia and Augusta, was arrested by United States Deputy Marshal Murray and was Monday bound over to the United States district court at Columbia for rifling the mails, by United States Commissioner C.

He was de tected through the medium of marked cne-doUar bills mailed by the post office inspector to Johnston, S. C. The Johnston letter was not delivered and Levy was arrested in Augusta and the marked money found on S him. He spent Sunday night in the c - .... a Richmond county jail. May Seek Smalls' Removal. tl tl Washington. April 5.?Congress- k man Byrnes will take up with the n treasury department Monday the ^ question of ousting Bob Smalls from c the office of collector of the port of ^ Beaufort, although, because of the g recent order issued by former President Taft just before he left the tj White House, making Beaufort a minor port after July 1, next, that "office will not be of any great importance unless some way is found to have the order repealed. Smalls' commission having expired more than a year ago. Mr. Byrnes does not think that he should hold the place under these conditions, even until July 1. If this is done, it is quite probable that a negro deputy will be a permanent fixture there hereafter. Inasmuch as, in a civil service examination which will be held, preference will be given to persons in the office in preference to those not in for this reason, and also because Smalls' commission has already expired, .Mr. Byrnes will urge that he be ousted, and that the place be given to a Democrat. ? E BEAR KILLED NEAR MANNING Bruin, Betrayed by Tracks, Easy j Victim of Hunters. Manning, April 5.?A party of about a dozen white men and fifteen or twenty negroes indulged in the rare sport of bear hunting a few miles from Manning this morning. They succeeded in bagging a huge bear, weighing about 450 pounds, which was divided among the hunters, so that many families will have the novelty of bear meat for their Sundaydinned to-morrow. According to report, the bear's wptp discovered earlv this I morning near Bloomville by a negro named Witherspoon, who saw the tracks in his yard when he first got out. He called his brother, who lived near by, and they started to follow the tracks, which was easily done after the rain last night. They were soon joined by others, and the bear was traced to a cypress pond near Providence colored church, about four miles from Manning. The pond was surroundered and dogs sent for. Other men with guns joined the party and the bear was soon routed, ft required several shots to kill him. Judging from the direction the bear was traveling, he was evidently making his way from Santee Swamp to Black River Swamp. It is known thai many bears inhabit the Great Santee Swamp, but they very rarely come out any distance, and few have ever ~ been taken as large as the one killed I to-day. A peculiarity is the fact that the bear was so fat this early in the ^ year. Try one of those new stationery packages at Herald Book Store.
