he was changing his plow at the
time that the bolt struck the horse,
ran down the trace chain and went
into.the ground at his feet. The ne?

lay on the ground In that condition
for about two hours before he re?
covered his senses. His hone was

but recovered sufficiently after awhile
to go home and tell about the acci?
dent.
DEPUTY GETS IX TROUBLE.
Experience of Bnmter Officer seeking
Fugitive in Savannah.
Savannah, June 11?.?Himself un?
der arrest for drunkenness and disor?
derly conduct, after having come to
Savannah f or the purpose <?f getting
a prisoner wanted in Sumter County,
s. c, on the charge of violating the
prohibition law, Deputy Sheriff J. S.
Sykes will, in all probability, have to
return home without his man. While
Sykes was getting himself untangled
from the affair In which he had be?
come involved, the prisoner, Gus
Cooper, colored, secured the services
of an attorney, and has now demand?
ed requisition papers before he v.ill
return to South Carolina. The charge
against Sykes was dismissed by Re?
corder Schwartz this morning.
The trouble between Sykes and the
police resulted In the arrest of Har?
ry Waters, colored, whom Sykes al?
leged had "touched" him for his re?
volver and money while he was "ceb
bratlng." Waters established the fact
that he had been given the revolver
by Sykes and that Sykes had never
i given him the money. Waters was
also dismissed. The police denart
ment has taken the matter i
the South Carolina authorl'
Sykes claimed that Wate
sented himself to be a city Lisa
and secured possession of his prop?
erty under this subterfuge. Sykes is
known to have had quite a large sum
of money when he arrived in Savan?
nah, but he woas practically ' broke"
when arrested. It is said at the place
where he had been ?taying that he
had been spending money freely.
When Sykes first came to Savannah
he announced his intention of re?
turning to Charleston immediately.
The fact that he did not return for
his man was practically unnoticed at
headquarters until Sykes appeared
and told a story of having been
"touched" while carousing at a re?
sort
An investigation was Immediately
instituted, with the result that Waters
was arrested.
?pent Night In Charleston Jail.
Arrested in Savannah on a charge
of having jumped his bond when up
on a charge of violating the dispen?
sary ordinance in Sumter, A. Q.
Cooper ,a negro, was lodged In the
Charleston City jail last night by
Deputy Sheriff J. S. Sykes, who is
j
carrying him to Sumter. ^r
In the warrant for the man it is al?
leged that he violated the dDpensary
ordinance, and when the case was
ealled for trial, he failed to appear.
He was located In Savnnah, and was
arrested there, being held until the
arrival of the officer with the papers.
He leaves with the officer this morn?
ing at 6 o'clock for Sumter.?News
ami Courier, June 13.
Neither Deputy Sheriff Sykes nor
Deputy Muldrow have yet turned up
in Sumter and it is thought that an?
other deputy will have to he sent to
look them up, if they do not turn up
In the next day or BO. It was re?
ported on the street Tuesday after?
noon that Willie Michau had escaped
while Muldrow was in Savannah, but
the accuracy it the statement can
not be guaranteed. It is supposed
here by many that know them that
Sykes and Muldrow are both In Char?
leston, where they have gone to at?
tend the Federal court. They were
both subpoenaed to appear as wit?
nesses in the case against J, H,
Christmas! for running a still on his
place.

Extracts From a Diary.?21
A PURCHASE MADE.
Since I began banking Several years ago I have laid up $2,
000. I'm going to invest it next week. When I first thought of
this I said I could not do it. I did not have enough money. I did
as usual, went to my bank to talk it over, taking care to be ex?
act with every fact of the investment. My banker said it was a
iood tiling, and calling me by name, said: "We have watched
>ou ajid have taken note of your use of money. We know you
.nanage wisely You can have the money. Just sign this note
for 90 days. When due you can reduce it or you can dispose of
the investment in that time and pay the note with enough over to
? dd a neat sum to your bank account.
THE PLACE TO BANK IS WITH
THE PEOPLES' BANK.
