Little Son of Mr. Henry McKagen Se riously Injured. The two-year-old son of Mr. Henry McKagen was run over on Dugan street Saturday by a two-horse wagon, driven by James Ludd, colored, and painfully injured. Two of Mr. McKagen ?s children were playing in the middle of the j street and when the wagon approached i at a trot they made no effort to get I out of the way until the team was i almost upon them. They started to run out of the way, but the little boy tripped and fell with his head in the rut. The next instant the wagon wheels strack him. Mr. D. J. Chan dler who was passing on a bicycle picked the child up and carried him into the house to his mother. Blood was gushing from his mouth and he was apparently in a dying condition. Mr. Chandler then pursued the wagon and catching up with it in O'Donneli & Co's. lot had Ludd arrested. Ludd says that he did not see the children in the street and did not konw that he had ran over the little boy until he was arrested and told what he had done. Mr. Chandler says that Ludd acted as if he did not know that he had run over the child, for he drove right on and although he called to him to stop he did not do sonor did he drive any faster. The accident seems to have been the result of th6 carelessness of Ludd, who was not looking ahead to see where he was driving, as he should have done, and to the .fact that the children were playing in the street where they should not have been. An hour after the .accident the little boy had regained consciousness and examination showed that he was not fatally injured. There is a severe cut and bruise back of one ear where the wheel struck him, but he i? otherwise uninjured. The wheels did hot pass over his head, but most have knocked him aside when the front wheel struck his head* for otherwise. the skull would have been crashed and the child instantly killed. HOUNDS WANTED IN CLARENDON To Capture Incendiaries Who Burned Mr. Dave 6ambJe's House. The sheriff of Clarendon county tele phoned to Sheriff Scarborough about noon for blood hounds, but as the county now has none and the hounds are at the State Farm, the request could not be complied with. The blood hounds were wanted to ran down the man or men, who, last night, burned the dwelling house of Mr. Dave Gam ble, of the Salem section of Clarendon county. The message gave none of the particulars of the burning, but at least the crime was a heinous one and the Clarendon county officials are making every possible effort to effect the capture of the firebugs. Mayor's Court. The case against J. H. Villeneuve for disorderly conduct and disturbing the peace which resulted in a mistrial when heard lastweek was called for trial last Wednesday. The defendant when ar raigned entered a plea of guilty. The Mayor imposed a fine of $40. O. B. O'Neal was arraigned for trial on the same charge for having participated in the row between Villeneuve and Mills ; and he likewise plead guilty. The sentence was $15. Both paid their fines immediately and were discharg ed. Will Furman, one of the negro gam blers arrested several weeks ago and released without bond, pending a post ponement of the trial, failed to appear when the trial was held, but last Thurs day he came before the Mayor, plead guilty and paid a fine of $5. Bob?rt Pringle, J. S. McLane and I Frank Holmes were arraigned before the Mayor for selling fish on the streets without a license. It was proved that they were employed to sell fish by H. L. B. Wells, Esq., who has taken out a license as a fish dealer, and they were discharged. Leo Coulter, Archie Mixson and Richard Moore three white, boys seven teen to twenty years old, who have made themselves nuisances by loafing around the cotton mill, were arraigned before the Mayor Friday for vagrancy. Mixson was arrested on a warrant taken out by his grandmother, Mrs. Bell, and the other two were arrested by the I police. The testimony showed that I all of them were guilty of vagrancy, but as there appeared to be extenuat ing circumstances in the cases of Coulter and Moore, and upon their ! promise to stay away from the cotton mill premises and to go to work, sen I ;er.ce was suspended and they are to bave a chance to redeem themselves. Mixson is a hard case and though young is a confirmed hobo. He was sentenced to serve twenty days on the chain gang. Another of the negro gamblers, one Holmes, came in while the court was in session, plead guilty and paid ?5 fine. July Kelly was tried Saturday for running overa child of Mr. D. S. Killy about ten days ago. The case was postponed last week at the request of Mr. Moore and the trial hxed for today. Kelly drives for the ice factory and the testimony shown that Kelly I was in a measure excusable, the mule he was driving being somewhat unruly and had bolted from the street just ? before the accident, he was fined onlv ! S3. I James Ludo who was arrestedSaturday j for running over the child of Mr. ' Henry McKagen was also tried. He was found guilty of careless driving and sentenced to pay a fine of $10 or serve 20 days on the chain gang. He paid the fine. LEE COUNTY ELECTION RETURNS.
