He says that it is his supposition, however, that the matter will be reported to the authorities of the State Hospital for the Insane at Columbia and that the man will be sent there for confinement and observation. The man is a burly negro and speaks some English says the conductor. It is generally thought, the conductor says, that the negro is either an escaped convict or a fugitive * -?? U/. Mtn it to tKo cran irom justice, xic oojro ib to u.v e . eral belief at Lanes that the man | went into Santee swamp to hide from officers of the law and, frightened by the loneliness of the place and the fear of capture, became insane. Another theory of how the man reached his present state of savagery, Mr Damon says, is that the negro, already mad, wandered into the swamp and remained there. The appearance of the negro.it is stated, ! would indicate that he had been living in the swamp for probably many years. J According to Mr Damon, when i members of a family of negroes re- i siding on a small farm on the edge i of Santee swamp, went out to a i ramshackled barn in the rear of i their little cabin, about daybreak yesterday, they were frightened by i the terrible sight of a man, over six feet tall, broad and muscular, with great brawny arms and heavy ] shoulders, covered from head to i foot with thick, black hair and whose eyes gleamed like those of < some wild animal, crouched in one corner of the shack as though ready to spring upon the first living crea ture which molested him. The family of negroes, it is said, were thrown into a panic and went hurrying in all directions in search of aid. Residents in that neighborhood went in response to the frightened cries and pleas for help. A r/istree Hi Vholesale and small mob, it is said, formed around the barn within half an hour and plans were hastily made for the capture of the man alive, if possible, and with as little injury to him as i necessary. The negro showed signs of fight and when the effort to catch him /utn + irmosT f/MiorWt vi/?irmalv. FHnallv. WUVIUUVM AVWgtav ? ?w?v ? m , ( however, without any of the mob being hurt and without inflicting any injuries upon the man further than a few bruises of a minor nature, the burly stranger, more animal in appearance than human, was i overpowered and tied hand and foot. Quickly the news of the fight with 1 and the capture of the man spread 1 over the surrounding country and ! people from adjoining settlements i and residing on small farms and along < the railroads in all directions from 1 Lanes, began to pour into that little ] town to view the strange species of 1 human held in the barn of the negro family. i Little groups and circles of people, ] the blacks and the whites to them- . Belyes, began to form all over the ! streets of Lanes with here and there i a larger gathering of white men with 1 a few awe-stricken negroes on the i outskirts who would listen for a few 1 moments to the trend of the discus- i sion, and then go back to those of i tneir own race to report. i The authorities of Lanes are fol- i lowing up every case where a crimi- i nal has been thought to have hidden i in Santee swamp, or where a negro 1 strayed off and was never heard of < again,in an effort to identify the man.

Tossing about on his cot, with his head sunk deep in the soft, white pillow and the cover drawn close up so as to almost hide his face from view, W F Coltrane, the young man who took three tablets of bi-chloride late Saturday afternoon, on South Battery, yesterday afternoon told a representative of The News and Conner that he didn't give a rap whether he was alive or dead, and laid the blame for his act upon a woman. He did not appear to be nervous and his voice was soft and clear. He did not even appear to be ill. At first he refused to make any jtatement whatever, but when asked a few questions, consented to tell of the circumstances tljat led to his at* temDt at suicide. "It was a girl," I lie said,and then he seemed to choke and hesitate for a moment before he again took up his story. "I wouldn't tell you her name, but she does n't stay here anyway and she. didn't marry some one else either, nor did 3he turn me down. I won't tell you what she did, but it was a girl that caused me to be here now." After which he gave a deep sigh and remained silent until the reporter questioned him further. "Yes.I regret what I did one way and another I don't," he answered in reply to the question whether he lercantile pany I friends the arrival of a k; te line of Spring Pants, | ' ' ? r\ r i_ adies' ana Men s uxiorus, a one and all, to pay us a 3 mes depleted.

We L I was glad that he failed in his attempt to kill himself. According to his story, he was a telegraph operator for the Western Union Company at Kingstree, S C, and came here last Tuesday to visit the wireless station at the Navy Yard and not to seek for a position as was first stated. While here he said that he began to think of the trouble with the young lady and he decided the best way out of it was to kill himself. He said that he went into a drug store on King street and purchased the poison tablets, went to the Battery and took them. A short while afterwards,he says, when he felt that he was about to fall from the bench unconscious, he called to a man passing by. He said that he did not remember anything after that until he was restored to consciousness at the Roper Hospital, whither he was taken in the police patrol. His condition has improved won derfully and he will be discharged about noon today.?Newts and Courier. The County Record job office is better equipped than ever to do your printing.
