^ LIVE STOCK KILLED IX STORM. R. L. Creech and J. O. Sanders Lost Valuable Horses and Hogs. The storm that passed over this section Thursday night proved very 5 disastrous for several farmers, two of whom lost some valuable live stock, while the third lost the contents of his barn, consisting of hay, etc. Mr. R. L. Creech, who lives a few miles from Barnwell, was perhaps the heaviest loser. A bolt of lightning, which struck his stable, killed a horse for which he had paid $270, and seven fine hogs, which he valued at $10 each. Mr. Creech is a hard working young man and the loss falls heavily upon him. Mr. J. 0. Sanders also had a valuable horse killed. The horse had beep driven by a son of Mr. Sanders to the house of Mr. F. L. Still. It was hitched near a wire fence and it is thought that the bolt hit a tree | some distance away, ran down the m fence and killed the horse. It was r valued at $250 and was a county raised animal.?Barnwell People. Arrested for Accosting Girl.. Saluda, Aug. 6.?Warrants have been issued on the affidavit of Homer > L. Rodgers charging Jim Salter, Sam Addy and Fletcher Wright, of Ward, with assault and battery of a high and aggravated nature on the person of his 17-year-old daughter at Ward Saturday afternoon last. Rodgers ? ; ? Jn T./M,ford<ir OTld amnlnv. was in oaiuua jcoiciuui auu x ed counsel to prosecute the accused. His story is that his daughter went to Ward on the train from Saluda Saturday and while in the .waiting room of the Southern passenger station Salter and Addy accosted his , . daughter, who was unaccompanied and was waiting for the train for. Graniteville where she was going to visit relatives, and that their attentions were obnoxious to his daughter who tried to repel thorn. That the * more she tried to resent their attentions the more insistent they became and that Fletcher Wright then offered to give whichever of them kissed the girl a quarter. Upon this offer being made Salter and Addy both seized his daughter who fought them off as best she could and whose screams brought the policeman, who placed them under arrest. It appears that quite a number of | people were in and about the waiting room and saw mere or less of the trouble. Addy, Salter and Wright all live at Ward. v WON WAGE3 AND LOST LIFE. Bicycle Race in Dillon County Ended Fatally to Winner. Sunday services at Little Betjiel, a colored church near the North CarQlina line in the vicinity of the Dunk Carmichael place, were marred by an ugly shooting scrape, the result of * which Jim Bell Carmichael is dead and his slayer is in jail awaiting trial at the next term of the criminal court. Carmichael and McNeil were out riding bicycles and made a wager that one could beat the other to the church. Carmichael was the winner. As they rode up to the church there were some other n.egroes congregated around and when they began to jeer McNiel because he had lost, McNiel lost his temper and used some ugly language toward Carmichael. One word brought on another and Carmichael began to advance toward McNeil, - who wasMeaning against the handlebars of his bicycle. He had advanced only a few steps when McNeil pulled his pistol and shot him > twice through the abdomen. After he was shot Carmichael wrenched the pistol from McNeil's hands and as McNeil was running away he fired at him twice without effect. McNeil escaped into North Carolina, but while Sheriff Lane was on his trail he returned to his home just this side of the line, where he n-nA OrVlf tn T"l 1 1 1 OT1 W?.S CctJJl U i cu auu ui uug,**;, iu Carmichael died Monday and Coroner Gasque held an inquest over his ' remains Tuesday, the jury finding that he came to his death from gunshot wounds inflicted by McNeil. This makes the 33rd inquest that has been held in Dillon since the county was established, and out of that number Sheriff Lane has personally apprehended and arrested 32 of the persons charged with the homicides.? Dillon Herald. HOLDS UP HELL'S NOMINATION. Senator Tillman Wants Report on Newberry Man Probed. Washington, July 30.?Senator Tillman, after he had said that he had no objection to the confirmation of W. A. Hill, to be postmaster at Newberry, and after the postoffice committee of the Senate had voted to recom mend the nomination favorably, received information which caused him to request that the favorable report I be withheld pending investigation of an assertion, which if true, would make Hill personally objectionable to the senior Senator. Hill was nominated on the recommendation of Congressman Aiken' WIFE KILLS IN SELF DEFENSE. Wealthy North Carolinian Attacks Wife and Is Shot to Death. Spacer, N. C., Aug. 9.?Henr\ Clay Grubb, a wealthy and prominent citizen of Rowan county, was shot tc death early this morning in his home at Churchland, near here by his wife, Mrs. Emma Grubb. Grubb lived an hour after the shooting. Mrs. Grubb is in a critical condition. According to Mrs. Grubb's statement the dead man came home about one o'clock this morning from Salis bury, and was under the influence of intoxicants. She says her husband attacked her with a knife. She is severely cut about the breast, neck and shoulders, and one ear is almost severed from the head. In the encounter Mrs. Grubb says she seized a revolver from a table nearby and fired three shots, two of which pierced Mr. Grubb's breast and the third entered the abdomen. Grubb lived less than an hour, dying shortly before 2 o'clock. Mr. and Mrs. Grubb have seven children, two of whom are grown. The children stated to the coroner that this was the culmination of a series of attacks on their mother by Grubb during the past few months. On one occasion, they stated, it was necessary to batter down a door to prevent injury to Mrs. Grubb at the hands of her husband. Mrs Grubb was exhonorated by a coroner's jury which returned a verdict that the "deceased came to his death at the hands of his wife who acted In selt-detense, ana wno was justifiable in the act." Grubb owned a considerable amount of realty in Salisbury and Rowan county. He was tried in superior court here in 1905 for the murder of his brother-in-law, Obe Davis, and was acquitted on a plea of justifiable homicide. He was shot and seriously injured several years ago by a negro farm hand employed on his plantation. Aviator Falls to Death. London, Aug. 7.?Col. F. S. Cody, famous Anglo-American aviator, was killed in an aeroplane accident at Aldershot today. He was trying out a new aeroplane when he met death. With him was a passenger named Evans, who was also killed. They were flying over the open country and the aeroplane was traveling badly, when finally it crash ed to the ground. The bodies were ?ound under the wreckage of the machine. Cody was a most interesting figure in aviation on the British Isles, and was well* known throughout Europe. He came to England a number of years ago from the Uinted States. KILLING IX KERSHAW COUNTY. Henry Sessions Shot by Jos. Simpson.?Both Prominent Farmers. ?* n Kiageway, AUg. i. aemt sions was shot and killed by Joseph Simpson late yesterday afternoon. Details are unavailable, the parties living about twelve miles from Ridgeway. Those who went to the scene of the killing have not yet returned. It is said that the trouble arose over the boundary line of the lands belonging to the parties in question. Mr. Sessions, who had been to Blaney, was returning to his home, which is just next to that of Mr. Simpson. He was met by Mr. Simpson, and it is said that an argument soon began, each party cursing the other. It is claimed that they both reached in their pockets for a weapon and that Mr. Sessions was approaching Mr. Simpson when he fired his pistol, the shots taking effect in his throat. After the shooting Mr. Sessions got back in his buggy and drove home, and died soon after reaching there, before aid could be rendered. Both parties are prominent farmers, and are well known and prominently connected in this section. Mr. Simpson - - - - - - _ j surrendered himself ana was carneu to Camden and placed in jail soon after the shooting. The report of 'talk of lynching proves to be entirely erroneous. RECEIVES 23,000 VOLTS. George Davis Instantly Killed at Greenwood Power House. Greenwood. August 7.?George Davis, a negro, was instantly killed yesterday afternoon at the power house here when he touched a live wire carrying 23.000 volts. The negro was in the small brick transformer house", where the heavy voltage from the Savannah River plant is reduced to the voltage used on the | local transmission wires. He started to show Engineer Deadwyler, who iiivi-i a nlnr>p whore the I vvas wini 111 xxi, tx i heavy wires had an uninsulated spot, and in so doing he pointed to the place with a piece of wire which he held in his hand. Without knowing it, he touched another uninsulated place on the wire and was instantly killed. t EVELYN THAW IN LIMELIGHT. ? Great Crowd Gathers to See Notorious Woman Dance.

She had stipulai ted in her contract that she was to - ? ? - TTT** A cippceir as jcj v eij u .>cauu. ? nc oi&u boards on the facade of the Victoria ; bore the name of Thaw yesterday morning, but before noon William ' Hammerstien had caused this part 1 of the name to be retraced with blue i paint, thus bringing it into greater prominence, as he had been inform; ed Mrs. Thaw would not go on un til the change was made. I The biggest audience the Victoria . has held since Gertrude Hoffman danced "Salome" sweltered through i eight numbers of clarinetists, equili1 brists and ventriloquists before Mrs. Thaw finally appeared. It was a curiously mixed audience. It conn . bined the elements of Broadway and domesticity. When Mrs. Thaw danced into sight with Jack Clifford, the spectators be' held an attractive looking young wo; man, with beautiful dark hair, caught with a black band over the forehead, flowing loosely over bare shoulders. Mrs. Thaw and Mr. Clifford first danced some of the infinate variations of the tango. Then they gave the Boston, the hesitation and other new waltzes. Specimens of the more lively one-step, the alias of the turkey-trot, finished their act. Mrs. Thaw danced gracefully, as did the agile Mr. Clifford, who was seen last 1 summer in "A Winsome Widow" at the Moulin Rouge. The applause bestowed upon the ! pair increased with each appearance till at the end Mrs. Thaw was forced to appear and thank the audience. It was evident as she danced that I she was anxious to be liked. She looked often toward the faces beyond the footlights and smiled an artless, appealing smile very unlike the conventional property smiles of the stage dancer. In her dressing room it was plain to be see that she was greatly relieved that the ordeal had ended happily. ' LADY ATTACKED BY XEGRO. 1 Jerry FraDklin in Jail Charged With Assault and Battery. Jerry Franklin, a negro, was arrested by Sheriff J. B. Morris Saturday afternoon and lodged in the county jail on the charge of assault and battery of a high and aggravated nature. The alleged attack was made Thursday afternoon on Mrs. Hattie Harrison, wife of Mr. R. W. Harrison, who lives near Ulmer. According to the best information obtainable, Mrs. Harrison, acting for her husband, who has been confined to his bed for some time with fever, ordered the negro to assist in unloading some ice. This, it. is said, the negro refused to do, becoming abusive in his language and finally attacking Mrs. Harrison. Mrs. Harrison was in town Monday and showed a bruise on her arm which she said was made by Franklin. She said that there were also bruises on her body. It is understood that the negro has waived a preliminary hearing.?Barnwell People. Boy Killed by Train. McCormick, Aug. 7.?Homer Dorr, aged 11 years, was killed in McCormick Monday by the mixed train which leaves here for Anderson about II o'clock. The little fellow boarded the train at the station, expecting to get off at the junction, where the train usually stops, but on this ocessinn the section master, who was working nearby, opened the switch and flagged the train on. The train not stopping, the boy jumped and was caught under the wheels, having possibly some internal injuries. He lived two hours. Medical aid was given but to no avail. He was the only son of Mr. and Mrs. Portor Dorr. BOY KILLED BY LIGHTNING.

Investigation found that it was that of John Stanley. There was n& mark upon the body except a small burned spot on the back of the neck.
