was startled by a pistol shot and rush

wound declared it not necessary fatal.
All day Tuesday Montgomery lay in
his room, seemingly in a stupor, scarce
needing what was going on about him.
Towards evening he seemed to bright
en- up little. and about $50 O'Clock
called to his son who was in an ad.
joining room. Upon hearing his father
call he took q kerosene lamp which he
had previously filled and fastened to
his fathers bedside, nearing which he
became faint and fell to the floor. the
lamp at the same time exploded and
the bedding upon which Mr.. Mont
gomery lay and the sons clothes were
at once enyeloped in flames. The
young man upon coming to his senses
found himself all On fire, and rushed
down the back stairs, the lurid fire ris-
ing four or five feet above his head.
Some OF the people who had been at
tracted by the alarm Of fire caught the
young man and one Of the fremen
wrapped q coat around him and there
by extinguished the flames, but not
until he was fearfully burned about
the face, neck and right side. The
fire in Montgomery's room had in the
mean time been extinguished, and when
the smoke had cleared away a hor-
rlble sight met the gaze Of the fremen,
The charred and blackened remains of
the mornings suicide lay before them
on the half-burned mattress, the limbs
distorted, the countenance, even in it's
CHASTITY blackness, giving signs of the
most excruciating agony. The son
fingered ingreat agony until Thursday
noon when he quietly passed away, ing.
norent of his fathers fate. The sad
news were at once telegraphed to Theo.
Montgomery here. This is indeed a
sad ending of the lives of two human
souls, and Theo. Montgomery has the
heartfelt sympathy Of this community
in his very trying ordeal.

A fatal shooting, similar to the
Beinhorn-Baar case of this city, OCCUR
ed at East Round Prairie, Todd county,
q few days ago. A son Of Jacob Swerts,
twelve years old, fatally shot his nine
year old brother under the following
circumstances: The older boy started
hunting and his little brother wanted
to go along, the parents being from
home. but was told to go back to the
house which hedid and appeared again
at the door. The older boy pointing
the gun at him he went back but came
to the door again. The same perform
ance happened several times when at
last his brother shot him.
The Chambers Bros Opera House
Troupe, Of Mankato, gave two perform
ances in Turner Hall last Saturday and
Sunday evenings. The comedy Rough
Diamond, or cousin Jo' visit to Lon.
don, was the principal attraction Sat.
urday night, The acting was very
good and Mrs. Wallace Britton, as
'Margery,'' and w. B. Chambers, as
''Cousin Jo,' kept the audience in q
continual roar, but on account Of the
indisposition of one of the principal
actors the piece had to be necessarily
cut short. The balance of the enter
tainment consisted Of gymnastic anc
trapeze performances, harp and violin
solos. comic songs, ETC., and was very
creditable, although many went there
with the expectation Of seeing more of {
dramatical entertainment. Not being
present Sunday evening we can SAY
nothing Of their doings, but under
stand that they had quite fair, house
despite the inclement weather.
By the court proceedings published
elsewhere it will be seen that young
Beinhorn who shot and mortally wound
ed1 the boy Baar last August, has been
acquitted. The grand Jury brought
in a verdict Of manslaughter in The
fourth degree but it appears that the
evidence produced on thetrial did moi
sustain the charge, and the jury, after
a5short absence. brought in /; verdict
OF not guilty, We hear considerable
dissatisfaction expressed at the find
lngs OF the jury, as many think that
the boy should have received some
punishment, but as the law of this
State, which does not hold any one
under fourteen years responsible
for his acts, unless above ordi
nary intelligence, and as testimon,
was produced that the boy was not
even ordinarily intelligent, we can not
conceive how the case could have beer
disposed OF otherwise than it was.
One thing is certain; the acquittal OF
young Beinhorn will not have Il very
wholesome effect on ssYoung America
of this city, and they can now strut a
bout with inpunity.

he had concealed in his boot, and shot the
officer dead. After this he Aod to CHS State,

YORKVILLE. s. c.:
THURSDAY MORNING, MARCH 81, l8;
THE YORK COUNTY BONDS.

Sometime since, proceedings of mandamus
were instituted in the Supreme Court, by j.
L. Harris, as the agent of certain guarantors
of the Chester and Lenoir Railroad Company,
to compel T. G. Robertson, Treasurer of York
county, to pay out certain moneys collected
by him, which had been levied to pay the in
terest on the bonds of York county, and also
to retire certain of said bonds. The case was
argued in the month of January last, G. S.
Brice, S. P. Hamilton and j. F. Hart, Esqs.,
appearing for Mr. Harris, and Messrs. Patter-
son & CASTOR and LeConte, for Treasurer
Robertson.
On Tuesday of last week, the Supreme
Court filed its decision. The opinion was de-
livered by Associate Justice Haskell, the 9th
er Justices concurring. In another column
of this issue, the opinion is printed in full.
By reference to the opinion it will appear
that the court declined to grant the writ of
mandamus, solely upon the ground that Mr..
Harris had shown no ownership in the cou.
pons to entitle him to the remedy sought; or,
in other words, that the suit had not been
brought by the proper party. None of the
issues at bar have been determined, and the
case stands just where it was before the pro-
ceedings were instituted. In the language of
the opinion, the court takes pains to observe
that the decision relates solely to the defect
of ownership in the relator. (Harris,) and
does not 20 at all into the merits"

uIDGE PRESLEY.

The Abbevile Medium denies that Hon.
B. C. Presley, lately elected Judge Of the
First Circuit, is a native of York county,
and insists that he was born in Abbeville.
While Abbevile has been prolific in great
men, and we would not detract an tote from
her distinction in this respect, we must be per-
mitted to claim for York county the honor Of
Judge Pressey's nativity. We speak ad-
visedly, after making careful inquiry, and our
investigation leads to the conclusion that
Judge Presley never even lived in Abbeville.
He was born ten miles east Of Yorkville, in
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1878-03-21

the vicinity of Tirzsh. His sister, Mrs. DIR.
A. I. Barron, now lives in this place, where
she has resided many years. Judge Pressleys
mother died when he was child of but three
years of age, and two years later his father
died. Previous to his death, the father re-
sided, during the summer season, in York
county, and passed his winters in Charleston.
The orphaned child became the ward of Rev.
James Adams, at that tune pastor of Bethel
Church, in this county, and continued in the
family of Mr.. Adams until he was fourteen
years of age, when he was placed at school
in Newberry, and from Newberry he entered
college at Athens, Ga. After graduating from
the last-named institution, he made his home
in Charleston, where he studied law, and has
ever since resided.
The Presley family came to America in
1882, with what is usually called the Will
liamsburg colony. There we're two brothers
John and William-and sister, Sarah. On
the passage from Ireland to America, Sarah
married Witherspoon. One of the Press
leys come from williamsburg and joined
Patrick Calhoun, in Abbeville county. Judge
Presley is not, as was stated sometime ago
by the A. R. Presbyterian, a brother of R.
M. Presley. Their fathers were brothers
and are full cousins of the Rev. John S.
Presley.
So much for Judge Pressley's nativity and
ancestry. His qualifications as jurist, are
stated as follows by the Ne,os and Courier {:
The familiarity of Judge Presley, not only
with the criminal law, but with his duties as
Judge, has doubtless surprised many who only
knew him as distinguished practitioner on the
civil side Of the Court. The clue to the apparent
mystery is that in the ealy part of his legal ca
reer, Judge Presley was magistrate Tor nine
consecutive years, and at that time all crimes
committed by colored persons were cognizable in
the magistrates courts Consequently, In the
long period during which he served as magistrate
every species ofcrime known to the law, even the
grossest felonies, the punishment of which was
death, came under his jurisdiction, and he was
called upon to deal with them, sometimes as jul
dicial and sometimes ~ prosecuting magistrate
The common law and statutes, the rules Of prac
tice and the law of evidence, involved in Grim
inal trials, thus became familiar to him. The
body of the law is the same as it was then, and
having been in constant practice since, and al
kept up with the changes of the times, and there
is probably no Judge on the Bench who can de-
eide more readily and justly the many minor
questions that continually arising in practice,
and which, il not not so decided, produce always
confusion and delay.

from the committee of the judiciary, reported,
with amendment, the Senate bill to prohibit
members of Congress from becoming sureties
on certain bonds, and it was placed on the

such claims originated. Agreed to. Mr.
