The injured are Aleck Nun, shot
In the arm; (Jeorgo Weatlierford,
shot in the leg; Sweet Cushman,
brother of tho dead man, shot
through tho hand. Tho fight, which
was general, seems to have grown
out of an attempt to intimidate the
officer, John Cleckloy, who was fory
inerly a member of tho police force
in Aiken, and for the past year, since
Windsor was incorporated and a
branch dispensary located there, has
been town marshal of Windsor.
Threats have been made, it is alleged,
to drive him away from the
town because of his activity in maintaining
law and order, and last night
the trouble began when, between 8
and 9 o'clock, the oflicer hoard a
shot in Jet Atkinson's butcher shop,
doing into the shop Cleckley found
a crowd gathered and saw something
-slash as it fell into a tub of water.
Thinking it was a weapon that
I , enme one had thrown away, ho made
a search for it but without success,
ttijn demanded to know who fired

without a flght. Outside tho door on

led Atkinson away toward tho town
lockup, and no ono will ever know
how many shots were fired.
There was a fusilade which
brought Cleckley's assistant, L. B.
Johnson, to the scene to help his
^ chief, and another fusilade followed,
?Mid when the smoke had cleared
;uvay Han ford C. Cushman, who is
f imiliarly known as "Son," lay dead
and the others who were shot were
nursing their wounds.
The combatants not only used their
guns but brought knives into play,
Cleckley sustaining several severe
a cuts in tho arm and face and head,
i ^ l'f) and his assistant, however, made
v holesale arrests, locking John I)ub
se, Smiley Randall and Jet Atkinson
in tho Windsor Jail before comii

Tho coroner went to Windsor Sunday
afternoon to hold an inquest over
the body of Hanford Cushman. In
A the past Windsor has been the scene
et many fatal street fights, but the
< vn had quieted down during the
past few years.
Cleckley was known as a fearless
oil cer. It is understood that the town

of his and Johnson's defenso. It is
' not known whether Cleckley or Johnson
fired the shot that killed Cushman
as tho fighting took place in

things that has ever happened In
the nation's capital. A letter from
Washington says that Rev. Mr.

attempt to ilnd some clue as to the
whereabouts of Mrs. Groover has returned
to his home In Columbia.
Relatives of both Mr. and Mrs.

out of the publication of an article
in The Intelligencer which Mr. Mul-j

seriously.
Accompanied by C. E. Tolly, a relative
by marriage, Mr. Muldrow went
to tho newspaper otlico and demanded

A BLOODY DICTATOR IK)OMED.
Murderer of a Great Many Men Sentenced
to Death.
Con. Jules Coicou, formerly military
tyrant of Haitii, was condemned
to death by a jury in tho criminal
court at Port Au Princo on the
charge of having been tho principal
author of tho fusillade of 'March 15,
1908, in which ten persons, including
tlireo of his own brothers, were shot
to death. Accomplices of Coicou in
the crime were acquitted.
Gen. Jules Coicou, who, at the
time of the outbreak in Port Au
Prince in 1908, was military commander
of the district, was chiefly
known by his tyrannical character.
Ilo thoroughly hated all white people
and it is said he threatened to
"carve out the hearts" of all his
enemies. He was absolutely illiterate
and while lie was in oiiice used
a rubber stamp in signing documents.
lie betrayed his brothers, Massillon,
Horace and Pierre Luis, to President
Alexis on March 14, 190S, and
personally directed their execution
on the following day. Altogether on
that occasion he killed twenty-seven
men in less than an hour, but only
ten of these murders were included
in the charge against him.
Col. *T. 13. Folder will appear bcforo
the dispensary committee when

he will prove before the committee
will surprise tho natives. In the
name of justice, let us have it.

?
WAS CHOCKED TO DEATH
Cirncsoinc Discovery, After Two Days'
Search, Solves Mystery of Disappearance
of Eight-Year-Old Hoy
While Returning Home From His
Grandmother's Near His Home.
Lying in a pool or nis own blood,
within fivo hundred yards of his
homo, in an old box car in the shop
yards of the Atlantic Coast Line, the
body of little eight-year-old Andrew
Jackson was found Friday, where he
was most foully slain 011 Wednesday
evening by somo party or parties as
yet unknown. Such is the sequel
to the disappearance, from Florence,
of the child, mention of which was
made in The Times and Democrat on
Saturday.
Ever since nine o'clock 011 Wednesday
afternoon, when the little fellow
left the home of his grandmother,
Mrs. M. L. A. Gardner, in North
Gaillard street, to go home, which is
only next door, his parents, Mr. and
Mrs. William Thomas Jackson, were
distressed lest some person had kidnapped
the child and carried him
away on somo of the many outgoing
trains.
It was only a few moments after
he left his grandmother's that his
parents made inquiry as to his
whereabouts and were informed that
he had left there to go home. He
was never seen alive after that time
by anyone who knew liltn. As soon as
his father, who is a machinist in the
Coast Lino shops at Florence, missed
him lie began a search and was assisted
by a number of neighbors and
friends. Every effort was made to
locate him and wires were sent to all
neighboring towns and cities asking
them to keep a lookout for the boy.
The search was pushed since Wednesday
afternoon. Friday Mr. J as.
Evans, in charge of the Hoy Scouts,
volunteered to assist in the search
and he and his boys started out.
About four o'clock, while searching
the hundreds of cars on what is
known as the "repair tracks," opposite
the Coast Lino passenger station,
near the cool chute, young Robert
Howell found the body In Atlantic
Coast Line box car Ne. 18,5 4 0
and at once gave the alarm. It required
only a few moments for a crowd of
people to gather about the car to
ciew the body, which lay on the floor
of this car, well in the north end of
the car.
The door on the north side of the
ear was open, through which young
Howell gained admittance. The body
as found, was laying on the right
side, with face partially upturned,
the left arm over behind and partially
under the body and the knees,
drawn considerably. At one time it
was thought that the child's mouth
had been stuffed with cotton, but it
was found that, instead, it was badly
purged.
The head was somewhat swollen,
the face on the right side was bruised,
and several scars on the neck,
and face, which resembled linger
i.rltifa ohnnJn(? flint t Vln r>h i 1(1 linfl f>vl
*1 on 11 y been choked or strangled to
death. Around tho neck thero was
a distinct red mark, as if it had been
tied with a string, and it is thought
that tho slayer must have tied a
string around the child's neck to stlile
him and carried him to this lonely
spot and choked him to death.
Ileside the body lay a pair of homemade
suspenders, some old cloths resembling
pieces of an old quilt, and
some rags which may have been used
in stifling tho child to death.
Tho murder is the topic of conversation
throughought tho city, and the
people are worked up as never before.
It is hoped that tho jury of
inquest, which is now Investigating
tho horrible affair, will have something
of a definite clue to tho perpetrator
or perpetrators of this, the
most horrible and foulest murder
ever committed in that section. Never
before has Florence been so stirred
and the streets are, at this hour,
ten o'clock, Friday night, filled with
stolwart men who are talking and
discussing the terrible deed and
ready to do vengeance, should a clue
be found to the perpetrator of the
deed.
Andrew Jackson was a favorite
among the boys of his size and was :
a pupil of the Central Graded schools.
He was a little over eight years old, ]
and was well grown for his ago. 11 o j
was a manly little fellow and was
known throughout the city. Ilia par- i
cuts reside in North Gaillard street, !
only a stone's throw from the union
passenger station, where tho body
was taken after it was prepared by |
Funeral Director W. M. Waters. As
yet no announcement lias been made 1
as to when the funeral and Interment
will take place. The affair lias saddened
many hearts in Florence, and
has cast a gloom over the entire
city.
W. IT. Elder, a white man who 11 v- i
ed at Florence several years ago, but
who has been away several months,
THEORY OF THE MURDER
BELIEVER BY SOME THAT NEGRO
ROY SLEW LAI).
<.
Eiglit-Yeur-Old Andrew Jackson May
Ilavo Been Killed by Negro Roys
in Neighborhood.
While nothing definite regarding
the Identity of the slayer or slayers of
young Andrew Jackson, the Florence
boy who was foully done to death
Wednesday afternoon or night, and
whose body was found in a box car In
the Atlantic Coast Lino yards at Florence
Friday, has been revealed, it Is
now held by many that the little
eigh-year-old lad was killed by some
negro children in the neighborhood.
Lending color to this theory is the
fact, as stated by citizens of Florence
who claim to be in a position to
know, that there is what might be
termed a feud between the little
white boys and the negro children of
the neighborhood. It is believed that
little Andrew Jackson was set upon
by some of these small blacks and
beat into an unconscious condition by
negro children.
That the negro men and women of
the district, finding the lad in this
condition, took him into one of the
houses and when he began to regain
consciousness realized the seriousness
of their predicament and, thinking
it the easiest way out, choked the
little fellow to death. To hide their
crime, according to the theory, the
body was taken in a hack to the
1 I nn i' o i-/1 a nwl lluirn li ) 11 rl ii In
V/UHDl UllLXy ^ (il UQ Ull U tllVi V lltuuvu tti
the box car.
It is stated that on Wednesday
afternoon, just about the time the little
fellow left his grandmother's
home there was a fire alarm and the
automobile fire trucks going to the
scene was stuck in the mud near
the section of town in question. The
theory Is that, boy like, Andrew Joinid
the crowd about the auto and that
lie later became involved in a difficulty
with some of the little negro boys.
It was stated, in support of the
theory, that buggy tracks had been
traced from the section of town in
question to the grounds in the vicinity
of the car where the body was
found. It is said further that the
little boy seemed to have been choked
to death by means of an old apron
or apron string and that such an article
was found in the box car near
the boy's body.
The Florence Times says this case
has reawakened the interest in the
two others that have occurred in that
same neighborhood where white boys
or young men had been found dead
on the tracks of the yard, and there
was doubt as to whether they had
heen killed by an engine as they were
sleeping 011 the tracks or killed first
and put there to hide the evidence of
crime. The police will follow up every
clue that is possible and they will
run the culprit to earth if possible.
was arrested at Lynchburg, S. C.,
his old home, Friday, and was
brought to Florence Friday night
and is now locked in jail. The coroner's
jury have had him held awaiting
their action. Just what part in
the murder of little Andrew Jackson,
if any, ho is supposed to have taken
remains for the jury to decido. Reports
were circulated throughout the
city that Elder had been to Florence
and that he had probably kidnapped
the child. It was on this supposed
ground that Elder was arrested in
Lynchburg and brought to Florence
by Magistrate Mcintosh, of that
place.
Elder married at Lynchburg, S.
C... and lived in Florence for several
years. They have one daughter and
this daughter now attends tho city
graded schools. It is stated that
Elder desired possession of this
daughter, which was refused by his
wife, and ho has made efforts to secure
her, It is said, by force. He
went to tho school building, it is
further stated, on Wednesday to see
the child and when she saw him coming
sho secreted herself in tho cloak
room to keep her father from seeing
her. Later in the day, it is stated,
he told parties in town that if he
could not get his child ho was going
to get somebody's child before he
left.
Elder left town that, night and
this created an impression that Elder
had carried little Andrew Jackson
away with him, and it was on this
ground that he was arrested, and
since no was carried 10 r mrenco me
coroner's jury have ordered that ho
be Hold awaiting further investigations.
Elder has an unsavory reuptation
hereabouts, for lie was arrested several
years ago and Incarcerated on
the charge of setting fire to various
buildings during the time that there
was a fire every night in Florence,
but it was impossible to secure sufficient
evidence to send him up to
the higher Court. Elder is a painter
by trado.
The coroner's jury late Friday
night took a recess until Tuesday,
next, when it will again meet, and, if
possible, render n. verdict.

AIKEN IS STIRRED
THREE THOUSAND DOLLARS REWARD
OFFERED FOR
ARREST OF THE FIENDS
? . Who
Attempted to Assault Four Women
Over in Aiken in the Fast
Few Weeks While Walking Along
the Streets of the City Without
Male Escorts.
The mysterious attack upon the
prominent Northern society women
at Aiken which was made Several
nights ago continues to puzzle the
I polico of the place, who are just as
much at sea as they ever were. The
investigation is still being pushed,
but no additional light has been shed
upon tlie matter.
it is known that a rinkerton detective
Is in Aiken, trying to fathom
tlio mystery, aiid it is also stated
that tlio reward of $1,5 00 has attracted
private detectives to the
place, and they are working on the
case, but just what progress, if any,
they are making remains a secret.
Of the $1,500 reward already offered,
$500 was made by city council.
This sum supplemented by Mr.
C. Oliver lselin, a prominent winter
resident, to the extent of $1,000.
And Saturday .Mr. lselin offers the
additional incentive of $l,0o0, making
ti reward of $2,5 00 for the arrest
and conviction of the person who so
murderously assaulted the woman.
The offer was made through a letter
to Mayor Gyles, which, in part, reads
as follows:
"In order to stimulate tho entire
police forces of the United States ol
| America to run to earth the person
lor persons who during the past two
weeks, have assaulted four different
white women, 1 am prepared to offer,
in the name of the city council, $ 1,U00
in addition to tlio $ 1,000 that l
have already guaranteed for the ar
rest and conviction of tho person
or persons who attacked , provided
that the persons who may be
found guilty are convicted of assault
I with intent to ravish. 1 am also prepared
to offer $250 for the arrest
and conviction of tho person or persons
who assaulted (still another
woman) on Dupre avenue, in
this city, on tho evening of Friday,
March 1, and 1 agree to increase this
reward to $500, provided tho person
or persons are convicted of assault
with intent to ravish. 1 sincerely
trust that these rowaida, and those
that will he offered by ohers may secure
tho results that we all hope for
It will bo noted that 'Mr. Iselln
says, "tho person or persons who,
during tho past two weeks, have assaulted
four white women," and to
those who have not followed the papers
closely this will not seem quite
clear. On Monday evening of February
20, and about thirty minutes
previous to tho attack upon the
Northern resident, two girls, while
standing about two hundred yards
from tho woman's home and at the
extreme southern intersection of Laurens
street and Park avenue, were
approached by a negro, who attempted
to embrace them, but took lHght
upon the unexepected approach of a
man, who was acquainted with the
girls; about thirty or forty minutos
later came the murderous attack upon
the woman above mentioned; and
four clays later, a woman In the employ
of Mr. Iselin was approached
on Dupro avenue, 011 Whiskey road.
Peculiarly enough, first hand accounts
of the throo Incidents coincide
in describing the person as wearing
a derby hat, black coat and light
trousers; the man of medium build.
Just what theso coincidences are
worth is, of course open to conjecturo.
Tho persons may bo 0110 and
the same?or they may not be.
Threo thousand dollars is tho reward
now outstanding for the arrest
and conviction of the individual or
individuals guilty of theso three assaults,
and this sum will doubtless
oil many wheels. It is expected that
the reward will draw quite a number
|of detectives and police to tho city ?
with what results remains to be seen.

Four Killed and Nino Hurt,
Four persons were killed and nine
injured, six of them seriously, when
passenger train No. 4 of the Georgia
railroad, which left Atlanta at midnight,
collided head-on with a freight
train three miles from Social Circle,
Ga., 011 Saturday morning just before
daylight. Three negro men and ono
negro woman were killed.
Officials of the road stated that the
wreck resulted from the overlooking
of standing orders for freight trains
to take a siding at Rutledgo station,
between Augusta and Social Circle,
and thus give the passenger train the
right of way.
The bodies of the four negroes who
were killed are buried in the wreckage
and so far efforts to remove them
have failed. They were pinned under
the negro coach, which was telescoped
by the baggage car.
The two locomotives, telescoped by
the force of the impact of the collision,
were practically demolished.
The first class passenger coach and
the Pullman sleepers remained on
the track and while somo of the
sleeping passengers were considerably
shaken up, none of them were
injured.
four Killed and Scores Hurt.
Four persons were killed and nearly
three score injured Friday night
at Redwood bridge, two miles west
of West Lebanon, Ind., by the derailment
of the Continental Limited
train, westbound, on the Wabash
railroad. All the cars left the rails
and somo of them turned over. A
broken rail is said to have caused
the accident.
The train was going towards St.
Louis and passengers were preparing
to cat dinner as the train approached
the Redwood bridge near the Illinois
State line. Without a jolt at
first, the whole train seemed to
swerve to one side, and then the
elioachos rolled, collapsed and piled
up alongside the track. The baggage
and mail cars suffered the most.
Nearly every pasenger was hurt
by the rolling over of the cars. Those
persons in the coaches that were
crushed suffered severe injuries. One
or two were killed instantly. Others
were pinned down or splintermtDpft
were pinned down by seats or splintered
timbers. The uninjured dragged
the injured from the overturned
[cars, witu tno exception 01 moso who
[could not bo extricated until derricks

Along the snowy banks of tlio rlvor
fires were kindled to keep tho women
and children warm. Residents of
West Lebannon and Redwood crossing
hurried to tho wreck with hot
coffeo and bandages for tho wounded.
MANY DAYS IN llOX CAR.
Man Was Taken Out Frozen Stiff and
Semi-Con scions.
Imprisoned fourteen days, without
food or water in a freight car, in
which he had endeavored to beat his
way from Cincinnatti to Charlotte,
Georgo Johnson was found in a semiconscious
condition, frozen stiff, when
the car arrived at Charlotte on Friday.
His condition has excited tho
interest of medical experts, and every
effort is being made to revive
the flickering spark of life. Johnson,
who is a native of the village of
Mount Ilolley, near hero, left home
several years ago to seek a home in
the west. The car was locked and
sealed and his nrosenee was not dls
covered until the car was opened 14
days after it was pulled out of Cincinnati.
