from Officer Inahitiett and Shot at
Him. hut Without KlIiTt.
Kowesville was somewhat stirred
up Friday night when a negro man

YVIMMI VillllMT lIlilllllHM IIIKI'Ttook
to arrest hiin for disorderly conduct
011 the street. In the 8Cutile
Bonaparte wrested a revolver from
itie otneer una tired point blank at
hlni but fortunately the balls went
wild and the ottlcer escaped iujury.
The affair caused considerable excitement
for a time, and the negro
will he severely punished when he is
caught.
Bonaparte was employed tit the
.1. C. Blake Liunboi Company's mill
at ltowesville as a log turner ami
came from Sumter some months ago
to work in the mill. Whilo he had
never been under arrest, lie was always
to he found standing around
when there was trouble going on
and he had the reputation of being
a sullen negro
About eight o'clock Friday night
he was standing on the sidewalk
amusing himsell by pushing negroes
into the street, \lderman Ueorge II.
tnabinet raine out from the store
where he works and attempted to
Place Bonaparte under arrest. Bonaparte
resisted and Mr. Innbiuel attempted
to subdue him by tapping
hi in on the head with the butt end
of the pistol, which he had drawn
when the negro refused to submit
to arrest.
The negro then caught hold of the
pistol and wrented It from Mr. Itiabiuet's
hand. As soon as he got
IKiBSCsalon of the pistol the negro
opened lire on Mr. Inabinol. lie* then
run and the ponce ofllcers of the
town, who are the mayor and aldormon,
started out with a posse of
citizens to run him down. They
went to the cabin of Aik Martin,
where they had reason to think that
lie had hidden and the woman of
the house barred the door against
thom and would not allow them to
enter.
The woman's refusal to open the
door made the oflicers certain that
Bonaparte was in tlie house, and so
they determined to force the door
which thoy did by putting their
shoulders against it and the
door fell in on the woman and her
one week old babe and oilier children.
They did not 11 nd the man
they wanted, but did find that lie
went through the yard a few minutes
before they were there.
The posse returned to Rowesville
and later OUlcers Henry Wolfe, W.
/ 11. Mazych and Robert Pairey went
to the cabin of ltosie Jones, where
thoy knew a "hot supper" was to
- be served and waited in the woods
2 outside the cabin saw the man they
^ wanted, who walkbd into their arms
and was placed under arrest with
#v out trouble. He did not have the
gun that it was known that ho had
in his hand when he ran away. He
Pr claimed to have thrown it away.
Bonaparte was then placed in the
hu guard house, but when Sunday mornj<
ing came he was not in there. Some
a' of his friends had wrenched the lock
\ from the door and rescued him, and
r lie is now at large. The ofllcers of
Itowesville should spare no effort to
find out who released the prisoner,
and when they are found out they
should be prosecuted to the full excent
of the law. Bonaparte is a
round faced negro about 25 years
of age and weighs in the neighborhood
of 200 pounds. It is hoped
that ho will be caught and punished.

BttKVMD THKM 1UGHT.
Two Brunken Negroes Got a Good
Whipping for Cause.
Near Grovetown, Ga., on last Saturday
2 drunken negroes purposely
Cillided their buggy with that of a
young white boy who was in the
road juHt in advance of them. The
t)oy remonstrated with them when
they drew a pistol and cursed
film for all sorts of things. The
l>oy went back home and told his
people of what had happened.
In a short time quite a crowd of
people gathered and went in search
of the negroes. They wore found
in the store of Mr. J. H. Koger, near
the scene of the trouble. They were
usked to come out and explain their
actions, but refused to do so. They
were then made to come out.
They could not give a satisfactory
explanation, in fact, their statement
oeemed to make matters worse.
According to authentic reports,
the crowd took the negroes off about
tialf a mile and gave them a good
whipping, which was considered, by
the crowd, to be the best thing to
do under the circumstances.

a blizzard.
I'rof John A. Itrasheur, the emlnont

Professor Mrashear discovered his
latest sun spots only a little over a
year ago; then they were lost, but
ho located them again Wednesday,
(his time not in a solid mass, hut
broken into several different and (lis
tinct sun spots.
"Now look, out for an electrical
disturbance tomorrow," said Prof.
Hrashon r.
"This is the time lie has missed
it," Hai i wise Pittshurgers, for a
more beautiful Spring day would be
hard to imagine.
Soon after six o'clock there was a
sudden t ran storm at ion.
The wind sprung up into a gale.
The ski^s were covered with a great
hank ol h'.ack clouds, out of which
snow began to desond in enormous
quantities. The wind increased to
forty-eight miles an hour.
Then the skies were torn by great
Hashes of lightning, and peals of
thunder made the earth tremble. In
fifteen minutes the mercury had tumbled
from 4 0 to 2G.
Miss Sarah Stuart, aged thirty,
of Allegheny, alighted from a street
car in front of her home, was seized
by the wind and thrown against a
building with such force that she
died a short time afterward.

the Hamburg-American liner Batavia
as she was leaving her dock

When the Hamburg-American liner
Kaiserin Auguste Victoria pulled
into her deck last Thursday one of
the passengers was a man who gave
the name of Ignatz Lauffer. He was
summoned before the immigration
authorities for the usual investigation.
He described himself as a medicine
student of the University of
Budapest. On the deck was H. C.
Strike, of New York, representative
of-the college in which Weiss had
been employed. Strike had received
a cable message alleging that Weiss
was short in his accounts. Ho confronted
Lauffler, but the latter denied
that he knew anything of the
case.
Tlio ofllcials decided to detain
him, however, and a hearing was
held. Lauffer had told the officials
that he had a sister Miss Irene Lauffer
in that city, and during the hearing

and identified Lauffer as her
brother.
