DROWNED AT CLIFTON.
Vounir Man Loses Ills Life While Sein
ing lit Paeolet Ktver.
FL F. Biumgarner, u young weaver
in one of the Clifton mills, was
drowned in i’acolet river near Clifton
one night last week.
Air. Baurogarner was in seining at
the time, in company with George
Molt and J. C. Riddle, both of Clif
ton. They hud crossed the river and
were returning, when about half way
over the young man 'suddenly fell
and was drowned before assistance
couklrrach him. It is suppesid th t
he was seized with cramp, as the
water was only about waist deep
where he fell; though, in his strug
gles, he probably got into deeper
wator. He shouted for help w hen he
went down and .Mr. Riddle tried to
save him, hut ho sank out of sight
before his would-be rescuer could
reach him.
Kiforts were made to find th r un
fortunate man’s body that nigt, but
not until one o'clock the next after
noon was it recovered. The coroner
held an inquest and rendered a ver
dict that the young man came to his
death by accidental drowning and
that no blame was attached to any
one.
Frank Baumgarncr was about
twenty-four years of age, of good
habits and industrious. Ho was a
native of Cleveland county, North
Carolina, and marffed a Miss Bache
lor, daughter of Alonzo Bachelor of
Cherokee county, about eight months
ago. His body was taken to Chero
kee Falls for burial.
A few days after he was buried a
report got out that in looking over
his clothes his father-in-law found
blood on thorn, and holes indicating
that the man had been stabbed. His
relatives insisted on an examination,
and, accordingly,' the body was
exhumed Wednesday. Dr. Forest
McKown made a thorough examina
tion. but found nothing of a sus
picious nature, and the body was re
interred at the same place.
The suspicion, it seems, originated
at Cherokee Falls.

<>a Saturday night last there was
a light in Cowpens which resulted in
one man being perhaps fatally shot
and another badly cut with a knife.
One Babe Lawing. a young white
man who lives near Cowpens, went
to town Saturday afternoon and
straightway proceeded to fill up on
moonshine liquor. About night he
was gloriously drunk and became so
disorderly that Policeman James
Williams attempted to arrest him.
Lawing resisted and a light followed,
in which a knife and club were freely
used. Policeman Williams, finding
himself cut pretty badly, abandoned
his club, drew his pistol and shot
Lawing three times, in the loft arm,
left shoulder and left side.
Physicians examined both of the
wounded men and found Lawing to
be in a serious condition, he being
pyalyzed in the lower extremities.
Williams’ wounds, while very pain
ful, are not thought to be dangerous.
At last accounts Lawing was at the
point of death.
All the result of whiskey.
Death of a L'liihl.
Last Tuesday morning, just as the
sun was coming up from behind the
hills and the birds were beginning
their morning lays, the sweet spirit
of Olive, little daughter of Mr. and
Mrs.. W. S. Gaffney, was taken home.
AM that loving hands could do was
done, hut of no avail. Just a few
short days she suffered, then the
Great Physician healed all her pain,
and only the little casket that had
held the precious jewel was left to be
placed in the old Providence cemetery,
whore loving hands tenderly covered
the iiltle mound with beautiful
flowers, sweet tokens of a resurrection.
Little Olive was just ut au age to
bo so sweet and loving. Just begin
ning to lisp childish words and to be
such a joy to her fond parents; but
the Father knew best and now Olive
is safe, safe in the arms of Jesus
