$ FAMOUS
HOUSE DEAD.
Grey Eagle, the Outlaw, Bucked Himself
to Death.
Grey Eagle, the outlaw, is dead.
The notorious mouse colored bucking
horse that made his name historic
for ten years in the cow country
killed himself in a mad attempt to
dislodge Art Scheutz, the champion
17-year-old rider of Cheyene, Wyo.
Scheutz lies in the Receiving hospital
with an injured skull and a dozen
minor wounds.
The final rage of this old outlaw
^ was spent in a death struggle occurring
in the northern part of Los Angeles.
Scheutz- had for several
months heard of Grey Eagle. The unmanageable
horse was owned by Bartv
lett brothers, on a foothill ranch.
Scheutz decided he could ride the
k- > outlaw.
For months Grey Eagle made a
round of the various motion-picture
shows where Wild West scenes were
staged. Nnone of the cowboys assem
" ^ - 1 J T- ~ ? J1 A iUrv
bled for tne mm couiu uanuie mc
treacherous bucking animal. Grey
Eagle had become notorious for a peculiar
character of his buck, a rotary
motion of his back when in midair
that dislodged the most skilful equestrians.
One after another of the champions
of the film squad of rough riders
had been tumbled over his arched
back and Bartlett brothers accepted
him as a freak in their collection of
horses.
Scheutz sent word to the Bartlett
ranch in the foothills that he would
ride Grey Eagle. The horse was
brought to the Scheutz home for the
t a - Axri+Vi/-wn + nroliminarv
JJUjK IU v v i niv u i/ ^/a ?
he launched on the back of the beast,
and the contest started across vacant
lots, and along clothes-lines, against
the side o-f houses, under ambushes
that a maddened but cunning horse
could select for a conquest.
Scheutz clung to his seat. Once
Grey Eagle dashed down a sevenfoot
ditch, scrambled along it for a
few yards then climbed the precipitous
bank and continued his wild
pitching, with the boy still in the
saddle.
His energy was nearly gone when
fiphpnt.7. guided him toward the paved
streets. At the first touch of the as*
- phalt at Fairmount and Blade streets
Grey Eagle's feet slipped. He made a
last desperate stand in defense of his
title, bucked wildly and viciously and
then started to run again. He continued
slipping across the street and
launched into the curbing, lying flat
where his head was crushed against
i the solid block of concrete. Astride
y him was Scheutz, also knocked unconscious,
but still clinging to the bridle
reins.
Spectators took the boy to the hospital,
where his wounds were dressed,
while Grey Eagle was taken back to
the Bartlett ranch for honorable interment,
even though his title of
Grey Eagle, the unridden, was gone.

World's Highest Waterfall.
The Kaieteur waterfall in British
Guiana, is the highest waterfall in
the world. It is of unsurpassed grandeur
and beauty as the Potaro river,
unobstructed at its brink by islands
or huge masses of rock, as nearly all
--li ??* Ti-nrlr? barmen
Oltier great, iauo <_>i. ^
to be, hurls itself in full flood into a
great abyss.
Peering over the "precipitous and
z sheer rocky face, within 100 feet of
this avalanche of water, is an aweinspiring
experience, the total height
of the fall being 822 feet, or five
times that of Niagara, which boasts
164 feet only. This fall is generally
seen at the dry season and consequently
the name "Kaieteur" means
"Old Man's Fall," and was so called
after an old man who lived in an Indian
village years ago and who was
very old and infirm and generally a
great nuisance, having a very bad
temper.
One day the natives, exasperated
at his conduct, put him into a boat
and let the boat carry him over the
falls. The boat was, tradition says,
turned to stone, and is now a large
rock at the foot of the tans, wnne
the old man's ghost haunts the spot
at night and no Indian will approach.
The fall, if harnessed, could generate
a horse power of 1,264,864.?New
York Sun.
Registered Mail Stolen.
Memphis. Tenn., April 19.?Uncle
Sam sustained a loss of $1,600 here
tonight and a number of persons who

mail to the mails face a much great

en route from one of the depots
to the postofiice, clambered aboard
and extracted a pouch without attracting
the attention of the driver.
A messenger boy gave the alarm as
the thief vanished in the darkness.
The packages were insured by the
government for $50 each. Postal officials
say they can not estimate the
value of the packages but believe it
may reach several thousand dollars.

SHARKS FOLLOWED CREW
i Harrowing Experience of Schooner
Wrecked Out From Charleston.
The New York World of Thursday
publishes the following account of the
rescue at sea of the crew of the
schooner Lottie R. Russell, which
sailed from Gnarieston last rnaay
with a cargo of lumber from the Tuxburv
Lumber Company:
One woman and seven men. survivors
of the abandoned schooner
Lottie R. Russell, were brought into
this port yesterday by the oil tanker
Georgian Prince, after having drifted
for 24 hours in a small open boat
surrounded by a school of sharks.
The woman is the wife of First Mate
Van Zant and the men were Capt. J.
C. James and his crew.
The Lottie R. Russell sailed from
Charleston, S. C., last Friday for Philadelphia.
On Saturday morning she
was hit by a terrific gale. The little
schooner sprang a leak and soon be
came waterlogged, ah nanas were
sent to the pumps, which were worked
continuously until 2 o'clock Sunday
afternoon when it was found that
more water poured in through the
leak than could be pumped out, and
it was decided to abandon the ship.
During this time the crew and the
mate's wife lived on a few pieces of
brine-soaked bread, as nearly all of
the provisions had been swept overboard.
There was left only a small
quantity of canned peaches. These
were put in the open boat, which
nearly capsized as Mr. Zant and the
seven men climbed in, abandoning
the schooner 70 miles off Cape Henry.
All afternoon the frail craft: was
tossed about by the waves. There was
no fresh water, but the terrors of
nartioll^r oirovtoH hv
lllllOl *? C* ^ pui tiUXXJ U T VI wvu MJ V??v
woman and the men wetting their
lips with the juice of the peaches.
But before night fell a new horror
was added by the appearance of a
school of sharks. Large razor-like
fins flashed through the water on all
sides, and the occupants of the boat
fully realized what would be their
fate if a larger wave than usual keeled
them over.
Then darkness came on, shutting
off all hope of being seen by a passing
vessel, and all that night the
sharks trailed the little boat, disappearing
for a time and then returning
in seemingly greater numbers.
The men tried to joke about them so
Mrs. Van Zant would not be frightened,
but their fear was so great that
their jokes fell flat. When exhausted
by the ceaseless pulling at the oars
Mrs. Van Zant sang hymns to spur
them on to greater enons.
Monday morning showed the sharks
still at hand, but the fury of the
storm had lessened, and there was
still enough of the peach juice left to
ward off temporarily the tortures of
. thirst. No ship had yet been sighted,
and early Monday afternoon the party
had all but given up hope when a
thin line of smoke was seen on the
horizon to the south. After an interminable
length of time the thin line
became a smudge, and the hull of a
steamer became visible to the anxious
survivors.
Capt. James stood up in the stern
of the boat, and at the risk of upsetting
it, waved his coat as a signal of
distress. Finally the steamer blew
her siren to show that she would

it was seen that the rescuing vessel
was the Georgian Prince, and
within a short time she drew alongside
and took the seven men and the
woman on board.
They were landed at Bayonne when
the Georgian Prince docked.
The Lottie R. Russell, a 200-ton
schooner, was built in 1895 and was
owned at Bridgeton, N. J.
ACCIDENTS AT SENECA.
Woman is Killed by Train and Negro
Injured
Seneca, April 19.?Milus Jones, a
negro, while trying to catch a freight
switching in the yard here was
thrown to the ground, receiving a
gash in the back of his head and
other injuries from which he will
probably die. After this happened a
train brought in the dead body of a
white woman apparently 50 years of
age who was walking Seneca river
bridge when struck by the train and
instantly killed. No one as yet has
been able to identify her.
CAFES MUST KEEP GIRLS OUT.
Police Judge Burney Orders Five
Cabarets Closed.
Kansas City, April 17.?"The cafes
must keep young women out of their
places at night," said Police Judge
Burney to-day, as he ordered five socalled
"cabaret" cafes closed. Judge
Burney said lie was determined to
either regulate cafes or put them out
of business.
The closing came after a raid early
to-day of eight cafes in which 54 women
were found.
In Court to-day it" was found that
several of the women prisoners were
not frequenters and they were re!
leased. Judge Burney, however, assessed
heavy fines against others..
BLEASK DISREGARDS PRIMARY.
Won't Appoint Nominee for Auditor !
of Georgetown.
Georgetown, April 17.?There are;
some heartburnings in this county be- j
cause of the fact that Governor
Blease has failed to commission some
of the men, who, in the primary last
August, won the election and were declared
the nominees by the county executive
committee, but the incumbents
of the offices at the time are
still holding over, in the absence of
the appointment of their successors.
Mr. T. S. McConnell opposed Mr. J.
A. Hemingway for county treasurer.
The face of the returns gave Mr.
Hemingway 796 votes as against 774
for Mr. McConnell. Mr. McConnell
I entered a protest, alleging rraua ai
! one of the country boxes, and after a
heated contest the executive committee
threw out the box in question,
giving the contestant, Mr. McGonnell,
a majority, and declared him the successful
candidate. His commission
has not yet been received.
Mr. W. J. Bruorton ran against
County Auditor H. C. Tallevest, and
in the primary defeated him by a vote j
of 799 to 761. There was no,contest
in this case. Mr. Bruorton has
been awaiting the receipt of his commission
in order that he might enter
j upon the duties of the office. Long
i patience bringing no reward, AIr.
! Bruorton addressed an inquiry to
Hnvprnnr Rlease asking him the di
j rect question as to when he might
; expect the appointment, to which was
! the reply:
State of South Carolina,
Executive Chamber,
Columbia, S. C., April 1, 1913.
Mr. W. J[. Bruorton, Georgetown, S.
i C.?Dear Sir: In reply to your letter
| of March 31, Governor Blease directs
I me to say that, according to his inj
formation, the present auditor at
i Georgetown is making a very good
j officer, and the Governor sees no rea
son to make a change. Respectfully,
Jno. K. Aull, Private Secretary.
Mr. Bruorton feels very much ag!
prieved at the action of the Governor
I in this matter. He has only made
public the upshot of the matter within
the past few days.
STORM IN TILLMAN'S OFFICE.
W. R. Dillingham Meets His Accuser
in Senior Senator's Presence.
Washington, D. C., April 17.?An
exciting situation existed for a short
while in Senator Tillman's office this
morning, when W. R. Dillingham, recently
endorsed by Representative
Joseph T. Johnson for postmaster at
Spartanburg, denounced former solicitor
J. C. Otts in heated terms because
of charges filed with the South Carolina
Senators against Dillingham.
Ac o rooii 11 nf thoco fiVinrfrp1; Dil
-CJLkJ U i VWUA W V4. ViAVMV VWWi. 0 ?...
lingham voluntarily withdrew as a
candidate for the office, declaring
that he would not embarrass Mr.
Johnson. At the time, Dillingham
had sent o-ut a statement to his accusers
declaring that he was in Washington
waiting to be confronted by
them at Senator Tillman's office and
that he defied them to meet him. It
was as a result of this defiance that
former Solicitor Otts appeared to-day,
and there would probably have been
a personal encounter, but for the influence
of friends and bystanders.
As it was, Dillingham vowed that he
would pursue the matter another
time.
^ J * J- r< II. /I- H/vvn
Jtsesiae me two c>uuni ^aruiuui creators
there were present their secretaries
and the following citizens of
Spartanburg, in addition to Dillingham
and Otts:
Messrs C. D. Lee, J. Hertz Brown,
S. T. Lanham and F. H. Fike, who is
Representative Johnson's secretary.
Lee and Brown came as friends of
Otts, and Lanham and Fike were
friends of Dillingham.
When quiet was restored, the Senators
made the statement thai inasmuch
as Dillingham had withdrawn
from the race they had nothing to do
with the fight between him and his
opponents and that the matters at issue
should be settled at home.
Before making another endorsement
Mr. Johnson will probably hold
a hearing at Spartanburg.
RECEIVES BLOW ON HEAD.
Orangeburg Man Hurt Near Pinewood?Assailant
Arrested.
Orangeburg. April 19.?Mr. Lee
Irick, of this city, was very painfully
and probably seriously injured yesterday
near Pinewood. .Mr. Irick went
to Pinewood to collect from a negro
who lives near that place, and becoming
involved in some difficulty, was
struck on the head with a spade by
the negro. The injured man was
brought to his home here last night
and given medical attention. He has
not fully recovered from the blow.
Though able to go about he seems to
have temporarily lost, his faculty of
speech. Otherwise he is doing about
as well as can be expected.
The negro who struck Mr. Irick
was lodged in the guard house at
Pinewood yesterday.
