COLUMBIA DOCTOR SHOT.!
DK. J. H. M'lXTOSH WOrXDED BY j
* IXKNOWN MAX.
Assailant Kan Ofl Saying "Now You !
Won't Bother Colie
Tomorrow."
Columbia. July 23.?Dr. James H.
Mcintosh, a well kno r. Columbia j
physician, was shot anc seriously
wounded, by an unknown man. who
attacked him shortly before 2 o'clock
this morning as the physician was
returning home along .Marion street
after a visit to the Knowlton hospital.
According to statements by Dr. .Mcintosh,
the assailant, after a struggle,
fled over the wall of the Presbyterian
churchyard, shouting as he scaled the
wall: "Now, you won't bother Colie
tomorrow," or "Now, Colie won't be
bothered by you tomorrow." Dr. Mcintosh
recently has been brought forward
into the senatorial campaign,
the governor having said that he expected
to invite the doctor to be on
the stage at today's meeting when he
would answer the question asked at
Greenville, as to his statement regarding
the condition of R. A. Rich
ey, who was paroled by the governor.
There is no clue to the identity of
Dr. Mcintosh's assailant. The wounded
man describes him as being small,
about 120 pounds in weight, dressed
in dark clothing and wearing a dark
cap. Bloodhounds summoned from
the penitentiary arrived some time
after the shooting. Bystanders had
been kept away from the part of the
wall, which the assailant had scaled,
in his escape. The trail, therefore,
was relatively easy.
The dogs followed the trail
through the graveyard to Bull street
and thence down that street to the
corner of Bull and Pendleton streets.
There the trail was lost, about half
way across Pendleton street.
Grappled AssaiUant.
Dr. James Mcintosh, father of Dr.
James H. Mcintosh, this morning
made the following statement, as repeated
by his son when he reached
Knowlton's hospital after being shot:
"Dr. Mcintosh left Knowlton's hospital
about fifteen minutes to 2
o'clock this morning. As he was
^ passing along Marion street by the
First Presbyterian church a man stepped
out from behind a large tree and
I
\ called "Hands up," presenting a pistol
as he did so. Dr. Mcintosh grap- ;
pled with the man. In the scuffle I
the pistol was placed against Dr. Mcintosh's
stomach and fired one time.
Dr. Mcintosh staggered and fell to the .
ground.
"Immediately the assailant left,
crossing the sidewalk and jumped the
fence, saying 'Colie won't be bothered
with you tomorrow.'
Dr. Mcintosh got his pistol out and
fired twice as his assailant got over
the fence. An instant later he fired :
the remaining three chambers to attract
attention. The attacking party
disappeared through the Presbyterian
graveyard.
"Dr. Mcintosh has never been in
the habit of carrying a pistol, but being
suspicious for the last three
nights that he was being followed he
had taken his pistol along with him.
"The bullet struck in the right
side, just over the liver. The seriousness
cannot be determined until a ,:
thorough examination has been made
which is now in progress."
Dr. MQJiitosh was takers to the
Knowlton'hospital, and there he was
given medical attention. A preliminary
examination led to the announcement
that it was probable the
wound was a fiesh one only, and that
his recovery was likely.
Among the first persons to reach
the wounded man were Dr. R. A. Lancaster,
B. F. Altaian. J. R. Shepherd,
and a number or' others who hurried
to the spot from their homes. The
shots and Dr. Mcintosh's cries for
help alarmed the neighborhood and
in a few minutes many persons were
at hand.
Was Hiding Behind Tree.
The physician was perfectly composed.
according to those first at lus
side, and at once described the affair,
saying he had been to the Knowlton
hospital and was returning home,
walking on Marion street between
Washington and Lady. In front of
the First Presbyterian church, his
Siaieillflll CUUIMlueu. t! man -.lii.i
eled revolver sprang from the shadow
of a large tree and called on hinr
to hold up his hands. He grappled
with his assailant, and struggled for
the possession of the weapon, which
was discharged, the bullet entering,
the abdomen on the right side four
inches above tbe naval, and forcing
an exit on the left side. Dr. Mcintosh
fell but drew his own revolver
and fired a number of shots, the unknown
man disappearing over the
church yard wall crying with an oath 1
"Now you won't bother Colie tomorrow."
,
The tree from behind which the
man stepped is between two lights
and at the corner of Lady and Mar\
ion streets, and the other in front of
the Sunday-school building of the
First Presbyterian church. The physician
in returning from the hospital
and approaching the tree, had to pass

I
A husband who has been married j
years tells the story of his exper-j
iences. He comments as follows on j
the first parting that he and his wife ;
endured:
"A married man is a strange crea- j
ture. l' dreaded seeing my wife go;
it was hard to part, yet I breathed a !
huge sigh of relief when the train
started, and before it was a mile out
of the city 1 .vas holding a reunion
with two old chums in a bar room and
feeling as if just out of jail. For
three days and nights I held reunions,
conventions and assemblies, most of
the time in bar rooms; played poker,
stayed up almost all night and had
a "glorious time.' Then I commenced
to wander around town like a stray
cat. and to go to our lonely apartment
and have the blues, imagining that
my wife was going to die. that she
did not love me. Then I would read
and smoke until late hours.
"On the tenth day I begged the
manager for two days off and rushed
away to see my wife. She was in r
bed recovering from the shock of a
minor operation. It was a wonder
ful reunion: I told her all I had done
and how lonely I had been, and held
her hands and kissed her, and ate my
meals off her tray, refusing to leave
her even to eat with the other members
of the family. It seemed as if
I could not bear to be out of the room
and she wanted me always in her
sight."?American Magazine.
Speaking OutGeorge
Lansbury, the English parliamentarian,
dwelt bitterly, in a
speech in New York, on the fact that
during the last three or four years
the prices of necessities in Great Britain
have increased faster than men's
wages.
AWe aren't satisfied with this state
of affairs," said Mr. Lansbury, "and
we propose to let the world know that
we aren't satisfied. In the past the
workingman submitted quietlv to unjust
treatment, but today he has more
courage. Like little Willie, he speaks
out.
"Little Willie, a friend of mine,
was kneeling by his bed one night to
say his prayers when his aunt reminded
him:
" 'And don't forget to thank God
for your daily bread, Willie.'
' T wnn't fore-pr auntie ' renlied
the little fellow, and then he added
reproachfully:
" 'And I'll tell him we found a
dead cockroach in this morning's
loaf, too." '
directly under the light in front of
the Sunday-school building.
The condition of Dr. Mcintosh was _
pronounced as "splendid" by attending
physicians. After an examination
the wound was found to be a
superficial one. The physician's assailant
made good his escape.
The shooting of Dr. Mcintosh has
caused intense excitement throughout
the city and State.
Governor Sympathetic. j
The following statement in regard
to the shooting was issued from the
office of the governor early today by
John K. Aull. the governor's secretar
j" T
"Governor Blease regrets the oc- j
currence very much, as I do. I have
a very high personal regard for Dr.
Mcintosh and know that the governor j
!?e.? olcn Tlio trnvprnnr't office will I
iend ail possible aid for the apprehension
of the party or parties guilty
of the assault."
Norwood OH'ei's $5,000 Reward.
Columbia, July 211.?Joseph Xori
wood, president of the Union Nation- j
al Bank, of Columbia, lias deposited
ten dollars to be used as the nucleus
of a fund of $1,000 to lie given to any
one procuring the arrest and conviction
of the party who shot Dr. J. H.
.Mcintosh on the streets of Columbia
this morning. The reward fund will
wait a claimant for one year.
The following dispatch from J. \V.
Norwood, of Greenville, was printed
in the local evening paper:
"1 personally offer a reward'of
five thousand dollars for evidence resulting
in the conviction of the person
or persons who instigated the attempted
assassination of Dr. .J. H.
.Mcintosh, of Columbia. ! offer this
in addition to any other reward which
may he offered by any pevson or any
group of persons.
"(Signed) J. W. NORWOOD."
Dr. James H. Mcintosh has issued
a statement in which he states that
after inspecting the certificate, alleged
to have been signed by himself and
Dr. Know'.ton in connection with the
parole of R. A. Richey, the signature
purporting to be his is not genuine.
The certificate was to the effect that
Richey was bordering 011 paralysis
and his death would probably be hastened
by further confinement in the j
penitentiary. Dr. .Mcintosh says that
Richey was feigning paralysis, and he
did not recommend a pardon for him,
after making an examination. The
certificate above referred to was read j
by the governor at the meeting in j;
Columbia the day following the night j
Dr. Mcintosh was shot by an un- !
known man, who has not been apprehended.
