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
and His Fine of $1,000.

President of course revives the
stories of the great Democrats of old.

ever, always interesting. He is one of
the most striking figures among the
canvasses of Presidents. The story of
his trial for contempt of court in Xew
Orleans is always impressive even if
amusing too. He was made commander
of the Department of the
South in May, 1814, in the War of
1S12. and his victory at Xew Orleans
in 1S15 was what made him first
famous. Louisiana celebrated the victory
with charming ceremonies and u

was erected in his honor.
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

When the people di-scovered him
there rose shouts of acclaim, and the
Judge was visibly disturbed. Bui
Jackson stood up on a bench, quelled
the uproar and said the law of the
land should be upheld. The same
hand that had protected the city from

turned to the Judge and bade him

Wed in the Surf.
I West Palm Beach, Fla., April 1.?
!
i A romance of the sea, having its inception
some two weeks ago, when
the parties met for the first time i:
the water of the bathing beach, haa
its culmination today in a most original
and novel manner .when Miss Linda
Lund and Mr. Frederick Werchner
were united in the bonds of matrimony.
The bride was dressed in a
handsome silk bathing costume. In
her hair were arranged orange blossoms,
a large bouquet of which she
carried in her hand. 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.

Breaks Birth Record.
London, April 5.?All known birth
records have been shattered by the
wife of a working man at Barrow,
Lancashire. On February 24 she gave
birth to a son. Yesterday another
child, a girl was born.
The existence of the boy, who is
only six weeks older than his sister,
threatens Jlo raise a perplexing problem
under the British insurance act.
From the medical position they are
twins, but regarded from the standpoint
of Greenwich time they missed
twinship by six full weeks. The father

BYRNES TO INTRODUCE BILLS.
Measures Result of Recent "Money ^
Trust" Probe.
Washington, April 5.?Representative
James F. Byrnes, of the 2d South r
Carolina district, will introduce Mon- L
day two bills, which have been pre- v
pared in accordance with the report S
of the majority of the members of the r
Tviic-t " At- 'Piiio Hivicinn r?f O
.W <JIiC > X1UOI, Ul i UJU U'-IU.VII,
the banking and currency committee F
of the House in the closing days of c
the last Congress. a
One of these bills will refer to the v
regulation of of national banks- and o
clearing house associations, while the S
other will aim to deny the use of the g
mails and interstate telegraph and telephone
to stock exchanges which C
fail to incorporate themselves and t
observe certain rules as to their t
transactions. t<
Former Chairman Pujo, of the t
banking and currency committee, is s<
no longer a member of Congress and
the committee itself is not now in exr<
istence, so that this action by Mr. ?
Byrnes will be taken upon his indi- vidual
responsibility as a Congressman.
Negro Mail Clerk in Jail.
Augusta, Ga., April 2.?Edward
M. 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. J. Skinner
Jr. Levy was released on bond of L
$2,500 signed by his brother, J. R. ~
Levy, M. D., of Florence, who states
he owns property amounting to $35,000
and by Dr. A. N. Gordon, of
Augusta. 8
The United States postoffice inspectors
who worked up the case
against Levy state that he has been
consistently robbing the United States
mail for about 27 years. 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

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.

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.
