SHOT TO KILL
A Columbia Butcher Killed While
on His Way to Work.
MURDER OR SUICIDE.
Robbery was Doubt loss the Motive,
Although the Sulehle Theory Has
Been Advanced. Jle Usually Cari
ried His Money to and from His
Market. Crime Occurs Al?out Five
O'clock in the Morning.
Another homicide, with evidence
of a successful hold up occurred in
the surburbs of Columbia on Thursday
morning. It. T. Westcott, a butcher,
was shot and killed, while on
his way to his market from his residence
in the surbiirl) of NVaverley
The off..!.. -
- cmmi is a mystery, i>\?t there's
evidences that a holdup and robbery,
such as resulted several weeks ago
In the double killing of Charles B.
Green, a Shandon merchant, and Edgar
Marshall, the supposed highwayman,
was attempted.
In this case, however, the robber
(If robber there wop) did not take
any chances, but sl/ot to kill. The
fact that the homicide occurred at
five o'clock .11 the morning, and that
two chambers of Westcott's own- pistol
were empty, lends some color to
the theory of suicide, but there being
circumstances of immaterial nature
which also tend to support this
- theory. But the general impression
is that he was waylaid and murdered.
Westcott lives in Wnverley, No.
1,016 Oak street, a street which runs
parallel to Main street in Columbia.
His home is an ordinray one story
cottage, but seems to have been a
happy home, containing a happy and
intelligent family. It was Westcott's
custom to arise about 5 o'clock and
prepare to go to his market. He lost
his left hand several years ago, and
his wife usually assisted him in
dressing. His son? Robert, 1 f> years
of age, was usm^ty awaked about
the time his fatlmr left the house
and followed him To the market.
Th#? Httlo ononlfll ,>
? ?w.v- Ujyuuitl UU5, IJlUWIIie,
went with Ills master, who was accustomed
to carry his pistol in his one
hand as he walked along the suburban
streets at this early hour. It
was Westcott's custom, as it was the
custom of Charlie Green, the Shandon
merchant, to carry money back
and forth between his market and
his home, as he had no safe in his
market. Thursday morning he followed
the routine he was accustomed
to follow every day.
Arising about five o'clock, or a
short time before that hour, he called
his son, and with his dog started
cut. The boy in twenty-five minutes
followed in the usual routine, along
Oak street, across Gervais street,
almost to Lady street, where a bypath
was taken through the grounds
of the Waverley School and oetween
the large and small school house
buildings, which stand about ten
feet apart.
At the corner of the small school
house, which is the left as one walks
In that direction, the boy came across
the lifeless body of his father, the
little dog sitting by his master's body
on guard. The pistol was at the
dead man's right side.
The boy, paralyzed by grief and
funr If unt lita wltu ctlll nlmnJ
and Instead of running back home
to alarm his mother, went to his
grandfather's so that the news might
be broken more gently at home. His
relatives were soon on the seme and
summoned physicians, and the officers
of the law.
Constable Richardson of Waverley
was the first officer to arrive, and he
kept the crowd back as much as possible,
in order that tracks might be
followed. Coroner Walker was there
as quickly as possible, and Sheriff
Coleman followed. The coroner secured
from Jthd penitentiary and
from the couiUfy chain gang several
blood hounds, but they failed to find
any trail, though put on the scene in
a remarkable short time.
The body was removed to Van
Metre's undertaking establishment,
where several physicians examined
the wound. It was found that the
ball had entered the left side of the
bead, above and to the front of the
ear and above and to the rear of the
temple. The ball penetrated the
brain, lodging in the skin on the
right of the head, where it was cut
out. It was a 32 calibre. The wound
must have produced Instant death.
The unmistakable powder burns on
the left side of the head, where the
bullet entered, showed conclusively
that the pistol when fired was placed
almost, if not directly, against the
uuau.
If Westcott was murdered?and
there is no reason to say that he was
not?the murderer was standing in
front of the little school house as
the victim walked along the side, and
as Westcott emerged from the house
the murderer placed the pistol at the
head and fired. It was an ideal
place?if not an ideal time of d.'iy
for a hold-up?and not a likely spot
for a suicide. The fact that he was
shot in the left side of the head,
which was toward the school house,
while his left hand was gone, is another
circumstance to be taken into
consideration.
Westcott was fifty years of age and
was a native of Richland County. He
left a wife and four children. He

SIMPLY AN OUTRAGE.
Coffin Left on the Porch of the
Baptist Parsonage
A Card Was Loft Wit It the Coflln
Threatening Rev. K. M. Light foot
Witli Death In u Short Time.
! Orangeburg was stirred with indignation
Thursday morning when it became
known that some one on the
night before had left a coflln on the
porch of the Baptist Parsonage,
which is located right on the public
Square in the brght glare of several
electric lights. The Parsonage is occupied
by the Rev. E. M. Lightfoot,
Pastor of the Baptist Church, and his
wife. The community looked upon
j the outrageous occurrence as a dastardly
attempt to wound the feelings
of a fearless and outspoken minister
of the gospel for some attack he has
made upon vice and its adherents.
The coflln, which was discovered
by Mr. Lightfoot about eight o'clock,
was resting on two benches on the
front porch. It was a cheap one,
about the size for a half-grown person.
.lust under the lid of the coflln
was a card on which was written a
warning and a threat to Mr. Lightloot.
It read as follows: "This will
be your last resting place after June
10 next. Good by, Rev. Lightfoot.
P.S., Peace to your ashes. Anon."
The note was written in a fairly good
hand, and was evidently executed by
some one of average Intelligence.
Rev. Mr. Lightfoot notified the* police
at once, who began an investigation.
Later in the day the collln was
recognized by the keeper of a colored
lin/lo..tnbliwr 1.11..1 '
u..vi> i uinlllf, 1-BUIIIIIM1I1II'1U itH OllC
that had* been taken from his establishment
sometime Wednesday
night. Ho said that one of the policemen
had informed him that Ids
place was found open about one o'clock
Wednesday night. The policeman
had told him this Thursday
morning, and not immediately after
the collin house was found open. No
doubt the party was in there then
getting the coffin. It is a pity that
the matter was not investigated
right then.
A young man who works on The
Times and Democrat says he saw
some one go in this same coffin house
on Tuesday night of last week, and
that he tried t? see what he was up
to, but the fellow knowing that he
was watched stood perfectly still. He
said the party he saw was a large,
tall man with a moustache. He could
not tell whether he was white or colored.
No doubt this fellow, who
ever he was, had something to do
with putting the coffin on the porch
the night after our young man saw
him at the coffin house.
While no one, of course, believes
for a minute that the affair is serious
so far as the threats made by the
parties are concerned, still the entire
community regards the dastardly
outrage as an insult to the entire
city, and that it should be ferreted
out and the guilty parties made to
sillier. It was a malicious, dastardly
outrage, and we are glad to know
that nothing will he left undone to
apprehend and expose any one living
In this community who would he
guilty of such a thing. Several parties
were engaged in it and they will
he caught.
One of the worst features of the
outrage Is its effect on Mrs. I,ightfoot
who s not in the hest of health, iiy
accident she saw the coffin and at
once hecanie very nervous, and at
one time it was feared that she would
he prostrated from the effect it had
on her nervous system. It is a mystery
how the coffin was brought up
throught the streets without heing
seen hy the police. It was certainly
a hold piece of business, considering
the location of the Parsonage and
where the coffin was put.
FIGHT FOR A SQUAW
Indian Brave and White Man Both
Claim Bight to Woman.
Even the Indians are up to date
and air their love affairs in court.
Such is the case of Jack Wilcox, a
Qulniault brave, who lives on the
reservation at Aberdeen, Wash., and
who has instituted nroceediners to re
cover his wife, against Hilly Snell, a
white man. The woman in question
is an Indian and for 17 years she
was the faithful wife of Snell, bringing
him up a family of six children.
Then the dashing young brave appeared
and his stories turned her
head. She eloped with him, after he
pursuaded her that the first marriage
was not legal.
It was not long before the brave
and his bride returned to the reservation
and Hilly Snell won her back
again, much to the chagrin of Jack
Wilcox. The first. marriage was performed
by an Indian agent. If the
contracting parties thought the first
ceremony legal it would be binding.
If the woman did not thing it legal
when she eloped with Wilcox she
would not be guilty of bigamy.
was formerly an engineer and about
thirteen years ago feli under a moving
train at the union station, and in
trying to shove himself out of the
way, his left arm was cut off just
below the elbow. He then quit the
road and set up in business as butcher,
his market being on Taylor
street, in the city of Columbia. It is
a mile from his residence to his market,
and the place of the killing is
about two blocks from his home.
Many a cool thing slips through a
man's grasp because he is too previous.
About the only time the majority
of us act ndtural is when we are

COST OF LIVING.
The Government Statistics Show
Highest Level on Record.
EVERYTHING HIGHER.
Remarkable Increase in All Lines of
Household and Personal Supplies
Indicated by Recent Complication
Of Statistics of Wholesale Prices
and the Covcmmeiit to Study Retail
Prices.
Living expenses are increasing at
a rate that finally lias startled the
government statisticians?and he is
the last man in the world to be startled
at anything.
For three years the average American
housekeeper has felt the strain
of increased household expenses, but
until within a few months, the matter
has not appealed olllcially to the
statistical agents of the governments.
Indeed, loss than a year ago, figures
were made public by the bureau of
labor which seemed to indicate that
there had been no Increase in the living
expenses of the average American
citizen. The figures showed that
some articles of everyday use in American
households had gone up in
price, but the general precentage of
increase was-so small as to be inconsiderable.
At that very time, it was
known to every householder in the
land that the expenses had increased
materially, and that he was paying
more for the support of his family
than he ever had paid before.
Now, these facts have dawned on
the government officials. The latest
investigation made by the bureau of
liiuor nave inrown some strong light
on the subject. The criticism of the
reports made about a year ago induced
the odicers of the labor bureau to
institute an inquiry into the cost of
wholesale amounts of commodities
generally used in housekeeping. The
comparisons instituted covered a period
of seventeen years. The inquiry
into the wholesale prices of such articles
of the same commodities is being
made. The latter will not be completed
for several months yet; but
the statistics respecting the wholesale
prices has prepared the statistics
for what they will find in their
inquiry into the retail prices.
In the inquiry only recently completed,
it was discovered that the
wholesale prices of 2f>8 ordinary
commodities had reached a higher
level in 1906 than at any previous
time in the history of the country.
Of course, the period covered by the
investigation was only seventeen
years, but at no time prior to that
had prices so high been attained as
to any considerable number of the
articles investigated. On tu?? whnia
number of articles, the average price
in 1906, was f>.6 per cent higher than
it was in 1905, and 36.5 per cent
higher than in 1897, the year in
which the lowest prices of all the
commodities were reached in tho 17
year period. The statistics show
that the highest level of prices was
reached in December, 1906, the average
for that month being 4.1 per
cent higher than for the entire year
of 1906, and 6.3 per cent higher than
for the corresponding month of the
previous year.
It is stated by the bureau of labor
that the Inquiries covered farm products,
food, clothing, lumber, building
materials, drugs, house furnishings
and miscellaneous commodities.
Farm products and chemicals showed
a slight decrease from tho prices of
1905, but all other products indicated
a material increase. The average
price of farm products showed,
in 1906, only a slight change from
1905, while food products as a whole
increased 3.6 per cent over 1905.
Sixty-five of the seventy articles
of clothing showed an increase in
price, while only four Indicated a decrease.
In the others there was no
change.
In submitting the figures, the bureau
of labor make no attempt to
discuss the cause of the rise and fall
of prices contenting itself with a simple
statement of the facts as it finds
them. It is significant, however, that
an inquiry is being made into retail
prices on the very heels of the other
investigation.

LIVING TOMB.
Several Miners Entombed Four
Days Rescued at Last.
HOW THEY MANAGED
Wore Almost Frozen to Death. One
Of The Imprisoned Men, Took
Charge of the Tarty?They Built
a Hut From Ties and Slept Most
Of the Time?Seenes at the Mine's
Rut ranee.
The seven minors entombed in the
Fouatwell mine of the BerwindWhlto
company, near Johnstown, Pa.
last Saturday, were rescued Tuesday
night, after nearly four days of heroic
work by the rescurers. The
men were alive though almost frozen
from t lie cold and starved from lack
of food. The rescurers who came to
their place of imprisonment first
were Stoney ltoden and Charles Ke'an
They waded through water up to
their necks. Several times they
passed within a few inches of the
mine roof. They were almost paralyzed
when they reached the men.
lOach carried two bottles of milk and
brandy and gave it to the men sparingly.
The rescuers began work at once
aftr the mind was flooded last Saturday.
Pumps were set going. More
than 2,000 gallons of water were
taken from the mine every minute,
day and night. It was not until Monday
morning that the pumps began
to gain on the water. The work of
the rescuers necessitated great bravery.
Some of them were forced to
stop working because of lite mental
condition. The noise of the pumps,
the splash of the water and the exciting
surroundings, shattered their
nerves. Women and children crowded
about the opening of the mine
and hampered them in their work.
They were kept from harm only
through the use of force. The prayers
and cries to the entombed were
harrowing. Mrs. Molva, wife of one
of the minors, stood weeping at the
mouth of the mine and calling for
her husband. Her father, 7 4 years of
age, kept up chants and prayers for
the man, never ceasing for 7 2 hours.
Their case was not an exception.
The rescued men wore found in
the highest point of the shaft. Itolya,
one of the members of the imprisoned
party, had the men well in
hand. When he found they were
suffering from the cold, he ordered
them to pull ties from the water and
build a hut. There they lived for
four days In comparative comfort.
Only one of the miner's lamps was
kept burning. When that one burned
out another was lighted. Thus
the men were no In utter darkness.
They could see the water sinking
int;ii ny men, and near me roar or
the primps. They tapped frequently
on the air pipes to let the rescuers
know that they wore alive and to
spur them to determined efforts. The
reason the tappings wore not made
more often was that the men spent
most of their time sleeping in their
living tomb. When rescued and taken
to the hospital, it was found
that they had suffered from exposure.
Their good condition was accounted
for from thf fact that they
were cheerful all the time of their
imprisonment, even though they had
little reason to think they would ever
see their families again.

BLOODY TRAGEDY.
Caught a Man and His Wife in

And Knocked Tliein llotli in the Head
With a Hammer Kefore They Had

A special dispatch front Columbia
to the News and Courier says there
was another murder in tho Waverley
neighborhood Sunday morning, but
the affair differed from the recent
homicides in and around Columbia,
being a case of tho "unwritten law"
among negroes.
It seems that about midnight, John
Jacobs, a negro carpenter, returned
to his home in Waverley and found It
locked against him, but entering
through a window he discovered his
wife, Hesslo Jacobs, asleep in the
same bed with Will Johnson, a negro.
John Jacobs proceeded to kill both
the man and the woman, as he
thought, hitting them in the head
with a hammer, as they slept. Ills
blows ended tin* life of bis wife, but
not that of Johnson, who is now at
Taylor Lane Hospital, under treatment.
Jacobs went to the home of his
employer, the colored contractor, A.
S. Johnson, and with Johnson went
to the police station and surrendered,
and is now in jail. lie was under
the impression that he had killed
both man and woman but when the
oflleers reached the scene the negro
man, Will Johnson, was alive and
was taken to the hospital as soon as
possible. Tho sheriff, police and cor
