Soldier From Scotia Shoots Self in Head While Attending Court. Rock Hill, Sept. 20.?Private P. E. Rowell, of Scotia, Hampton county, stationed at Camp Sevier, who was here attending federal court, took his own life at 10 o'clock Wednesday evening at the residence of J. H. McManus, coroner- of York county, by shooting himself in the head with a revolver. Rowell had been staying at the McManus home since he arrived in the city a day or two ago. Mrs. McManus and B. B. Blanton, a government inspector, also a boarder at the McManus home, were the first persons to enter the room in which Rowell fired the fatal shot and he was dying when they reached his side. J. M. Youngblood, chief of police, and G. C. Clyburn, patrolman, were in the patrol wagon in front of the McManus home waiting for Rowell when he fired the shot which ended his life. The officers had been to the a pocnn mill and found Rowell and another soldier by the roadside, coming to the city. The soldiers were asked to ride with the officers and did so. Arriving at the McManus home, Rowell told the chief that if he would wait in the street until he could go to his room he would return and ride into the business section of the city. The officers agreed and sat in the machine waiting for him until some one from the house came out and told them that Rowell had killed himself. Rowell left a brief note on the table in his room, asking that his relatives be notified of his death, and saying that he was driven to the act on account of trouble with his wife. Letters were also found which show that Rowell had probably been paying attention to other women. One of these is a letter from a woman in Greenville. Huge Army Building.

Attempt to Rescue Soldiers Under Arrest.?Officers Open Fire. JNortoiK, sept, zi?between avu j and 400 negro civilians, headed by a score of negro soldiers from Camp Alexander, tonight attacked the second precinct police station in an effort to rescue the two soldiers arrested by the police on the charge of robbing ! the cash register of a photographer's studio. More than half of the windows of the station were smashed by | flying bullets, bricks and bottles before the officers retaliated by opening fire with pistols and riot guns. Ten negro soldiers and civilians were shot down in the exchange of bullets before the arrival of reserves from the central station . and naval j j guards gave the police sufficient man power to quell the rioters and arrest j the ring leaders. Police Sergt. White was the only officer injured. He was struck in the temple by a bottle. The crowd hurled paving stones at the ambulance carry-j ing the officer to the hospital, partially wrecking the vehicle. Several of the wounded at the hospital were said tonight to be in a precarious condition. ! The trouble was precipitated when j the officers clubbed the two negro sol-j diers arrested on the charge of fob-' bery. They were resisting arrest, urged to the attack by companions. The crowd quickly swelled to a mob and followed the officers to the station, which is located in the negro district. ^ ^1 SOFT DRINKS SAFE. No Restrictions Are Placed on Manufacture.
