Investigation Made Thursday by the County Board-Dispensary Closed, and Mr. R. A. Weldon Appointed to Succeed Dispenser Bass. Messrs. C. W. Stansill and W. S. Chandler, of the County Board of Control, accompanied by Inspector Nichols and Bookkeeper Thorpe, of the State Dispensary, and Dispenser Windham, of this city, went to Mayes ville Thursday to check up the stock and accounts of Dispenser F. J. Bass, of that place. The stock in the dispensary was carefully checked over and the books and accounts thoroughly investigated. The result of the examination was that Dispenser Bass was found to be $390.36 short in his account The dispensary was immediately closed by* the County Board, and it will remain closed until Mr. R. A. Weldon, who has been appointed dispenser to suc? ceed Mr. Bass takes charge tomorrow or the next day. Mr. Weldon was for several years clerk in the dispensary in this city and is thoroughly famil? iar with the business. He has al? ready given satisfactory bond and will take charge as soon he can ar? range his business to leave Sumter. 'Mr. Stansill stated today that there was nd evidence of criminality on the part of Dispenser Bass and the mem? bers of the Board of Control enter? tain no suspicion that he appropriat? ed to his own use the funds of the dispensary. He took charge of the Mayesville dispensary only a few months ago, and was at the time of his appointment wholly unacquainted with the business and the duties of the position. Mr. Bass has no idea how the shortage occurred. The county will lose nothing, as Mr. Bass will make good the shortage, and in the event of his inability to do so, his bond which was furnished by a surety company, is good for the amount. Jim Epps, colored, of Cherokee county, shot and killed his wife on Wednesday. Tribute of Respect.

Escapes Scott, a Negro, Recaptured. For the second time during a very short period there has been a jail de? livery. Wednesday night a white man, Mahn, one of the most dangerous and disreputable characters in the county, who was placed in jail in default of a sufficient peace bond required of him on account of threats of an unmen 1 tionable nature made by him against members of his immediate family, succeeded in making his escape. So aggravated were the charges against Munn that the people of his own com? munity in the Oswego neighborhood phoned Sheriff Epperson that if he was not sent for and dealt with ac? cording to law immediately, that they themselves would undertake his prop? er and speedy punishment. The term of his sentence in the county jail was for a period of one year and one day. During his confinement, Mahn has had free access to all parts of the jail, has always assisted the jailer in the discharge of his duties, and will be re? membered.-as one of the leading wit? nesses for the State in the case vs. Nathan Wilson, at which trial facts were revealed that resulted in disclos? ing the whipping scandal recently thoroughly aired in the columns of the Item. Jailer Norris has reported the af? fair substantially as follows: About 7.30 o'clock Wednesday night two women temporarily in the jail as lunatics were creating so much disturbance that it became necessary for the jailer to go to them and en? deavor to pacify them by threatening to whip and put them in chains if they did not cease their outrageous conduct. When Jailer Norris entered the room adjoining that part of the jail in which are the steel cages, he saw Mahn sitting on a barrel of dis? infectants with both coat and hat on, but thought nothing of it. He saw the women who promised to be more quiet and returning told Mahn not to go to bed for he might need him to help administer medicine prescribed by the county physician to the women. They were always opposed to taking the medicine and it was necessary to throw them down and force the dose, a tablespoonful, down their throats. Mahn promised his assistance. When the women began to again render themselves obnoxious by jumping up and down on the steel cage and by screaming, the jailer re? turned to administer the medicine. As he entered the door, the jailer states that Mahn caught him by the shoulder, wheeled him suddenly around and made a break through the door for liberty. He whipped out his pistol and fired twice when in the jail at the fleeing prisoner, failing to hit at very short range; he fired twice more at a short distance from the jail and then the pistol refused to re? spond to pressure on the trigger. Mahn then disappeared over a nearby fence. Scott, a negro, held as a wit? ness in the Gaillard case, followed after the jailer, but he was recaptur? ed, and placed in jail again. The pistol that the jailer displayed as the one used that night was a lu? dicrous weapon of defense. The cyl? inder was so clogged up with dirt or for some'other reason It refused to revolve. Two bullets were found lodged sideways in an inch pine door, and two holes in the ground not more than three inches deep were seen where two other bullets were said to have lodged. The county should sup? ply the keeper of its premises with a better weapon than the one now in the possession of Jailer Norris. Every effort should be made to ap? prehend and recapture Mahn, and if a start in that direction is made in time, it will most likely result suc? cessfully.'
