vent by the name of A. C. Powers.
The party registered at a cheap
iSrorth side hotel, "Powers," as coming
from Nome, Alaska. The John?mis

And the woman. They were apprehended
as they were returning from

Shortly before, 10 ojclock Tuesday

the baggage room. A little lat* r
One of the bagfekge men noticed a
oool of blood, which had trickled!
from the trunk broke it open.aad dl*<*>vered
the body of a man.
Investigation by the detectives develoi?ed
that tlie man's name was
W. A. Johnson, and a visit to the
rooms occupied by him and his family
resulted in the discovery that
the mattress was saturated with
ofood and also that blood was spat'ered
over many personal belongings
of Johnson.
The detectives " believe Johns041
was first drugged with the alcohol,
then struck over the temple with
0 "black jack" as he lay 011 the b*d,

According lj the clerk of the ho,ei'the
trunk left the hotel about the
middle of t.he afternoon. The clerk
said ho remembered the incident, because
the poller commented on its .
weight, after having carried it to
the expresss wagon. A few ml miles
tkter the clerk stated. Mrs. Johnson
and 4ier child left the hotel and did
trot return. About 6 o'clock "Powers"

Provide for l'w of Cam on Country
Roads.?Speed Limit in Fifteen
Mi lea.
Magistrate H. F. Wilson, of Anderson,
said the other day that
there were many people who owned
automobiles and who did uot know
the state laws regulating them while
on the country roads. It seems to
be the impression of most people that
th? y can operate their cars as fast
as they want to once out of the city
limits, but this is u mistake. Following
are a few interesting bits of
law from the acts of the general assembly.
< * * - .. ? 1 11 ,,
,"\0 JJITBUU BIIUII uprratv a iuuivi
vehicle on h public .highway at a
rate of speed greater than Is reasonable
and proper at the time aud
place, having due regard to the traffic
and use of the highways as to the
condition or so as to endanger the
ife, limb or property of any person
or in any ev? nt at a rate greater
than Often miles an hour."
Upon approaching a crossing,
bridge, step descent, or a curve a
person shall have their machine under
control and operate It at a rate
of speed not greater than six niilte
an hour, and in no greater than is
reasonable and proper, having due
regard to conditions.
"The driver of a motor vehicle
shall give notice by blowing a horn,
bell or othrwise so as not to frighten
the animals and to use precautions
to insure the safety of persons
and property. It is also necessary
to bring the car to a stop if it is seen
that the .horses are frightened.
"I* is necessary to stop the car at
a signal from one who Is in the highway
and who is driving a wild animal.
The raising of a hand may be
considered a signal to stop. If Is also
necessary to remain stationaryuntil
suc,h an animal could be removed.
It is necessary for an automobillst
to give the right of way
to the driver of a horse or a mule
and he shall go to the right of he
road.
"Violators of these acts shall be
fined from ten to one hundred dolars
or imprisoned not more than thirty
days."
Before operating a car in any
county ft is necesary to secure from
the clerk of court a certificate saying
which is numbered and this number
must be placed 011 the back of the
car. T.he owner's address and a
brief description of the car must be
rgiven. The registration fee is $1.
Ten days are allowed an owner it:
which to register his car.

Storekeeper In Middle of
I>ay.?Victim Carried to Hospital
Where He Died a Utile later.
Max Lubelsky, of 643 King 8t.,
Charleston.tailor and clothier, aged
3 7 years, was found in a dying condition
at his store Tuesday morning
at about 11.45 o'clock, by Max
Posuer, of 66 Line street, with three
ugly wounds in the back of the head,
evidently inflicted with a large slat,
found lying in the vicinity of the
body, in t.hc hands of a party or parties
as yet unknown. The desperately
wounded man was rushed to the
hospital In a police ambulance, but
lied from hemorrhage and a fra-Ci
tured skull at 1.19 o'clock P. M. A
rifled cash drawer found in the rear
of the premises, and the disappearance
of several articles and valuables
from the store, led the police to
believe that the motive for the murder
was robbery.
The killing caused a sensation
throughout the city, especially among
the Jewish population in the upper
part of town. A number of friends
of the dead man have offered a leward
of $500 for the capture of the
guilty party.
Max Posner, a peddler, was the
first came to discover Lubelsky lying
on the floor of -his own store. He
stated to the i>olice that he entered
the establishment at about 11.30
o'clock, in company with his little
daughter, to w-hom he wished to
show some chickens and pigeons
whic.h he had sold Lubelsky1
several weeks ago. Finding tipstore
apparently deserted, Posner
walked into the yard in search of
his friend. He came back and took
a seat in the middle of the store.
Suddenly his eyes beheld a steady
stream of blood running towards him
from beneath a counter on the opposite
side of the store, and upon
examination h* found Lubelsky in a
half sitting posture between the second
and third counters. He tried
to get the wounded man to talk, but
was unsuccessful, and immediately
went in search of assistance. A physician
arrived on the scene in answer
to a hurry summons, and was
followed immediately by officers.
The wounded man was sent to th<
hospital In a police ambulance. Several
doctors took up the work of at
tempting to save his life, but all efforts
proved to be useless, and h?
died in a,bout one hour's time without
having regained consciousness
. John Cross, a driver for a city express
concern, delivered a box of dry
goods to the Lubelsky establishment
at ebout 11.15 o'clock, placing the
box iu front of the store. Cross then

his book receipted for the goods,
and was met by a negro, who told
him that he, the porter, had been
left in charge of the osta blisment
while Lubelsky had stepped across
the street. Alter a several minutes
wait. Cross left, stating that he would
be in again for the purpose of having
the book signed. The police believe
that the unknown negro had
already overpowered Lubelsky when
Cross entered the store, and on being
interrupted by the latter, had bodily
declared himself as being the porter
of the establishment.
