RUSH RETURNS AND REVEALS
PLOT BATCHED BY T1NDAL FOR
THEIR DISAPPEARANCE.
I5l^j?geburg, April 6:?A J Tinda
and Barclay Rush are alive. Thej
J were not drowned while dynamiting
,for fish in the Santee river, neai
JButawville, on March 13, last, anc
(while nearly every man in that section
of Orangeburg county was en(gaged
in dragging the river in ef?
iforte to recover the bodies of the
fippoaed dro.wned men, the "vie018"
of what was believed,by some
deplorable double tragedy were
u'etly making their way to distant
irts.
The veil of mystery surrounding
is affair has been torn away by nc
? a personage than one of the
pposed "victims" himself, Bari?
Rush, in flesh and blood, whe
rived here this afternoon on the
lantic Coast Line train from Austa.
As soon as Rush alighted he

and was later located at a boarding
house in the city by the correspondent
of The News and Courier,
i Rush talked freely of the affaii
and at times was very much amused
when told of matters at this end ir
connection therewith. He laughed
heartily when informed of the long
and tireless search that had beer
? made to recover his and Tindal't
"bodies" from the swollen San tee,
and again at the information thai
lindal's will had been filed.
Declaring that he and Tindal had
quarreled and separated in Augusta,

and in order to get rid of his
troubles, hit upon the scheme of
i faking accidental drowning, urging
him (Rush) to join in the plan, to
which the latter consented.
The two went to the river, taking
dynamite, also two extra hats, and
I these were the hats found noating
r on the water when a search was inP
stituted for the missing men, and
. which, in the minds of many, helped
I to confirm the drowning theory.
After "planting" the "evidence"
. at the river, said Rush, the two pre,
pared to take their departure on the
, Atlantic Coast Line train running
. between Creston and Denmark, so
they remained in hiding until the i
*
, train reached Parler, several miles
t above Eutawville. They first got on
the "blind baggage," but the porter
, ran them off; however, just before
, the train started, said Rush, they
- - ' ?
, sneaked back ana got un me mu
steps of the last coach.
, They went as far as Denmark that
> night, March 13, then on to Augusta
. next day. After being together in
, Augusta for four or five days, Rush
, says he and Tindal had a falling out
, and the latter left him, but where
. Tindal went or where he is now,
Kush declares he does not know.
Relating his experience after sepI
arating from his companion, young
{ Rush says he "worked around" till
I he landed in Alabama, but the only
r work he could get to do there was
, too hard for him,so he decided to re!
turn to his home, working his way
back. * j

f At the time of the supposed
drowning of Tindal and Rush, the
1 Santee river section of Orangeburg
county was greatly stirred over the
, affair. Tindal was a prominent
r young farmer, of splendid family

successful in business. Bar.

When the two young men failed
to return from the river where they
stated they were going to dynamite
for fish on March 13, their relatives
and friends became apprehensive and
immediately began a search. Their
hats floating on the river, the overturned
and damaged boat and other
circumstances plainly indicated that
they had met death either by being
killed outright by dynamite or had
been so badly injured that they were
* ? ? al
unable to swim asnore wnen meir
boat upset; therefore,they were given
up for dead and for days the river
was searched by dozens of people
whose efforts were not rewarded by
the recovery of the "bodies."
Soon,however, it began to be whispered
around that, perhaps a search
on land would produce more satisfactory
results; then there were stostories
in the newspapers intimating
that, after all, there probably had
been no tragedy. The friends of the,
supposed "deceased" became indignant
at the "foul attacks upon their |
memories." etc, and strongly resented
insinuations that Tindal and Rush
had not met the fate claimed. A
little later Tindal's will,dated March
1, was filed here with the Judge of
Probate,and this circumstance caused
a renewal of gossip concerning the
affair. However, the people about
here apparently decided to give the
young men the benefit of the doubt
and discussion of the affair was
practically at an end. when arrives
Barclay Rush, whose sensational
story revives interest in the matter
and puts upon the lips of nearly everyone
the question: "Where is Jack
Tindal? Will he, too, return?"

BUILDING BOOM ON-MARRIAGES
AND DEATHS-SOCIAL AND
PERSONAL HAPPENINGS.
Scranton, April 8:?"Dan Cupid"
has been quite busy hereabouts of
late, there having been two marriages
in town last week: Tuesday,
April l,at 8 o'clock p. m., Miss Beulah
McKnight and Mr Laurence
Kennedy were married at the home
of Mr Geo C Cusaac by the bride's
pastor, Rev J W Truluck. The immediate
family and a few invited
guests witnessed the ceremony. Before
the event the friends and
"folK" partook of a bounteous
spread, after which Mr and Mrs
Kennedy were "seen" to the depot,
wherp thev awaited "89". They
were given a lively send-off and
amid the popping of fireworks,
shouts and hurrahs, they boarded
the train for Savannah, Ga, and other
points South. After returning
they will reside at Andrews.
Wednesday afternoon, at 7:30
o'clock, Miss Alma Singletary became
the bride of Mr Stanley Matthews,a
popular young business man
of Cowards, Rev J W Bailey, of the
Methodist church, officiating. Short
ly after the ceremony the happy
couple "slipped away", thus avoiding
the brigade of joy-makers who
had gone to get rice and fireworks
to set them sailing on the sea of
matrimony. Mr and Mrs Matthews
will make their home at Cowards.
May happiness ever dwell among
these young couples. Among the
out-of-town relatives present were:
Messrs E E Singletary of Cowards.
F L Singletary of Effingham and J
G Singletary of Conway, brothers of
the bride.
