testified at the inquest that he saw 1
fighting in the Poston yard about sun- z

he heard one shot fired. The case has 1

DESERTED CAR TRAILED DOWN.

"Honeymoon car" is the name applied
to the Kline touring car reported
to Sheriff Dukes recntly as having
stood for a week on S. Broughton
street in front of the residence
George Zeigler since the sheriff
found that the machine had been
jsed by a newly married couple from
Smoaks, S. C., who took a train here
for their honeymoon. The car was
iiscovered by police officers.

:he car's extended stay he got busy
md found that the machine was registered
with the State Highway department
in Columbia as belonging
;o the Carolina Lumber Company of
Smoaks. He wrote and asked if they
were short a car and the answer was
;hat the machine had been placed at
:he disposal of a man connected with
:he company who was preparing to
imbark upon the sea of "matrimony."
Naturally many theories were advanced
as to why the car remained
for a week on this spot. Vague suggestions
of complicated circumstances
connected with automobile stealing
md joy riding were made of those
'amiliar with tbe circumstance. All
of these questions, however, were
out to rout when the disclosure of
;he circumstances surrounding the
'mystery" was made. The case necessitated
some trouble and expendi;ure
of some time by Sheriff Dukes
out the amiable officer says he supposes
the honeymooners will have to
oe forgiven on the grounds of "honjymania."

laving stood in the vicinity of the

WHALE HELPED TO FREEDOM.
Shoved Into Water at Eastern End of
the Isle of Palms.
Charleston. Jan. 11.?Off the point
at the eastern end of the Isle of
Palms Sunday afternoon, a group of
Charleston men liberated a stranded
whale after considerable difficulty.
? * * .1 i i _ -1_ rz _ x
rne wnaie, 01 me DiacK nsu variety, ,i
was stranded on the beach and its
fins were bleeding from its own desperate
efforts to get free. It had
evidently been cast up at high water
and at the time its liberation appeared
it was well up on the beach.
It appeared that the whale, which
was somewhat more than sixteen feet
in length, was cast up Friday night,
Mr. Portwig believed that it was dead
and curiosity caused it to be freed
from its plight.
By means of a stout plank, the
whale was shoved into deeper water.
It took the concerted efforts of the
men to budge the creature. Once in
water deep enough to float it the
whale began to swim about in a circular
fashion, apparently being unable
to control its direction. Unable
to head the whale out to sea, the
party stopped for luncheon.
Later, the whale having become
stranded again, the party considered
the feasibility of killing it and towing
its body to Charleston. A gaff
was shoved into its side and as it
felt the prick of the gaff the whale
made a desperate plunge into deeper
water and has not been seen since.
