ft REBELS LEAVE Hey Had to Ennule Aaga Prieto far Waal ai Aauaaitiea la CONTINUE THE BATTLE TIm LMwrectos Reft Quietly at Night auid the City Was Occupied by the Federals tlie Next Morning.?They Were Much Mystified by the Rebels Leaving. A dispatch from Agua Prieta, Mexico, aays the rebel army, after almost eighteen hours of Incessant fighting Monday in defense of Agua Prieta, quietly evacuated the town during the night. It moved silently and at daylight was nowhere to be seen. The Mexican National troops entered the city at dawn, encountering no resistance. The federals approached the town from the south and east during iu? early hours, coming in slowly and cautiously, lest they encounter an ambush. Great was the surprise of j troops on finding, when they reached , the outer works of the rebel en- J trenchments, that tne trencne* naa j been abandoned and no insurrectos were in sight. The federals continued to come in, still more slowly, pre- ( sumably expecting to encounter a sur- , prise at every moment, but they , found no rebels anywhere. The latter had vanished as completely as the ( night. There was no indication even , of the direction they had taken. rT* V* r\ ooen t Vinl r nvo on o f i An r\ f , X LIU iuaouu iUl tllUii \>AUV/ UU tivy 11 VI I . the city after their all-day defense of it was not at first apparent. Later developments showed the rebel army to be badly disrupted. Its leaders gave up the fight and the men in the ranks appear to have i fled in directions of their own individual choosing. Col. Medina, who had assumed the [ command of the rebels in Agua Prie- , ta Sunday night, made his way to the American line just before dawn j and surrendered to the United States troops. He was the mayor of the ( town and was immediately placed under guard and held at the headquar- j ters of the American cavalry at the ball park. The victorious federal force which occupied the town number about 1,200 men. Lieut. Col. Reynaldo Diaz was in supreme command. ui?der him were Major Luis Hedina Barron of the rurales and Commandante Francisco Chiapa, formerly prefect of ? the town of Moctezuma. The government losses in Monday's J fighting may never be known. The J federals declined the assistance of the Red Cross, stating that the army would care for its wounded. The Associated Press correspondent passing in the streets of Agua Prleta saw a few dead bodies of rebQ els lying in the streets. At the bull rinp there were everywhere evidences ^ of the fighting and ample signs that J the federals has possessed accurate information of the strongholds occu- J pied by the rebel forces. The main towers at the bull ring were shot into sieves. . In the west of the bull ring there were two bodies. One was that of an ? A morlrnn filttlriir flPflinst thft wall * of the ring and heavily guarded by Mexican troops eat a lone American who had not escaped with the retreating rebel army. His hands were ties with ropes which passed over his shoulders. "They are not going to shoot me, are they?" he asked in a terrified voice. He said that his name was Thomas Sullivan; that he was born in Connecticut; that he had crossed the Mexican line the day before; had been arrested by the rebels, robbed of a hundred dollars, forced to display the scarlet ribbon on his arm and had been driven into the fighting line. He still wore the scarlet ribbon Tuesday. * The rebels evacuated Agua Prieta < because they had exhausted their am- t munition. This was apparent from 1 the stories related by the one or two < who did flee, and by the federals who '* entered the town. < As the rebels passed out of Agua i Prieta to the westward one or two 1 members of the army called across 1 the line to the American troops: "We 1 are going into the mountains and ' win return wnen we get some more cartridges." ? ?

KILLS COLORED MAN MISTAKING HIM FOR WHITE MAN. Engineer Joe Dun lap Shot Charley Middleton, Colored, Taking Him For Collie Wood, White. Quite a sensation was created In Sumter on Friday night of last week when Engineer Joe Dunlap about eleven o'clock shot Charles Middleton. a negro, mistaking him for a white man. Collie Wood, with whom Dunlap had had some previous difficulties and for whom he was watch ing. Th? trouble that led up to the shooting several weeks ago when Colli* Wood, a young white man, began paying attention to Dunlap s wife while he was out on the road but was later ordered out of the house and told not to come back on pain of being shot. However, Wood did come back sometime later and plans were arranged between him and Dunlaps wife for tan; elopement. Dunlap came home in time to prevent the elopement, however, and swore out a warrant for Wood for trespass after notice. Wood was sent to Jail as he was unable to pay off the fine that was imposed upon him at the bearing before Magistrate Wells. It is said that on the day of the night of the shooting Dunlap intercepted a message from Wood to his wife in which Wood stated that ho would come around to the house Friday night while Dunlap was off on his run and formulate plans for another elopement. Dunlap at once got another man in his place for the night and providing himself with an pump gun loaded with buck shot he prepared to wait for Wooa. After he had waited sometime he saw someone about the size of Wood coming down the street and fired six Bhots at the person. The person fell, shot in several places and Dunlap gave himself up to Policeman Harwick and Ward who came up to investigate the cause of the shooting. It was only after Dunlap had been taken to jail and was asked why he 3hot the negro boy that he learned that he had shot the wrong man. Assistance was sent to the aid of Middleton and he was hastened to ;he hospital where his wounds were ;reated. When Dunlap first started to shoot he negro Middleton was with two of lis sisters returning from a church estival, which they had been attendng, and when the firing commenced me of the negro girls ran around he house of Henry James, who lives lext door to Dunlap, and the other umped through the window as did Jiddleton. Inside the house the two negroes "an upstairs and while the policemen vere looking for the supposed Collie Vood, and started upstairs for him, he negro boy and his sister jumped >ut of the upstairs window to the jround twenty feet below, the boy in umping fell into a wire which broke lis ankle and prevented him from setting out of the way before Dun- ( ap he could shoot four more times at lim. Dunlap shot six times before the )oy ran into the house and four times ifter the boy came out. The two legro girls were uninjured, except or fright from which they suffered l great deal. It was stated by one )f Dunlap's neighbors that he had >een sick for some time, and that le had probably been drinking Fri- , lay night before the shooting occurred. Charley Middleton died Sunday light as the result of the wounds re- ; ;eived in the shooting. Coroner blowers held the inquest over the ] iody at the finding of the jury be- ( ng that Middleton came to his leath by gunshot wounds received at ho hands of Joseph Dunlap. Saved Noted Engine.

Felder, when asked Monday by The State if he had any further statement to make with reference to the dispensary situation, replied that he had addressed a letter to Attorney General Lyon ana unairman si&ckhouee of the dispensary commissiou. explaining his position. Attorney General Lyon was out of the city on business, and a copy of the letter should not be secured. James Stackhouse or Mullins, the chairman of the commission, in conversation with a representative of The State over the telephone, said that he had received a letter from Mr. Felder. "The letter is a very lengthy atfair," said Mr. Stackhouse. He said that Mr. Felder gave his views on various phases of the dispensary situation and that Mr. Felder said he would be glad to appear before the commission and tell what he knew 01 all transactions. "He promised," said Chairman Stackhouse, "to give information as to the work he had done." The letter written by T. B. Felder in which he asked some pointed questions was in answer to the following: "Reported you offered Towill immunity from prosecution for $5,000. Please wire reply." He replied as follows: "Statement that I offered Towill or anybody else immunity from prosecution for $5,000 or any other amount, a base and unmitigated lie."

Edgar Clarkson, a farmer at Pawling, missed one of his calves last r\l?rV?f !>nH oitrlv thlQ mnrnlnc wont in search of it. In a clump of hushes near the foot of the Pawling Mountains, Clarkson stumbled on the body of the missing animal, which two wildcats were feeding. I In a flash they sprang at him, carrying him to the ground. As nc lay on his back struggling the animals bit and clawed him terribly. Siezing the smaller of the animals by the throat, he got to his feet, only to be hurled to earth again by the cat's , mate. Clarkson, almost blinded with pain, struggled to his feet, siezed a club and brained the smaller cat. The other animal sprang on his neck and buried its sharp fangs in his neck. Clarkson could not reach the animal with his club, nor, owing j to its hold, could it sioze it with his hands. In a frenzy of pain he ran blindly around in the bushes, screaming. Weak from his many wounds he staggered against a tree, where he fell almost unconscious. His dog came and killed the cat. INTBKKST TO FARM BUS. Agricultural Train Will Tour South Carolina.
