Cadets OF the South Carolins Military
Academy In Revolt.
COLUMBIA, s. c., June IS. The cadets Of
the State Military Academy at Charl ston are
in open revolt 1t appears Cadet Schiermer,
of Charleston, was recently promoted to be
an officer of the cadet corps on account OF
meritorIons character and as soon as the
order was promulgated the entire corps,
with the exception of about twenty, openly
refused to obey and respect the new officer.
Cadet Schiemer, 1t is said, Is one Of the
most promising Of the corps, and has always
had, a fine record as soldier and
q gentleman, commanding the respect OF
the officers of the academy during
his entire connection with the institution.
About year ago 1t became his duty to re-
port two cadets for serious breach Of dis
cipline, for which they were subsequently
dismissed. His part In the affair made him
obnoxious to the large body Of his fellow
cadets, who have vigorously tabooed him.
Notwithstanding this, he has been so dill
gent and proficient as TO have won the ap-
pointment the announcement Of which was
made the occasion of the rebellion. The
board of visitors Of the academy have been
summoned to investigate the matter.

Of Blood Indians. numbering between 200
and 300 bucks have left their reservation In
Northern Montana and are travelling south
to join the South Pegans for the purpose Of
making war on the Crows and Grosventres
These Indians are probably the same ones

Last year the Bloods and Plegans made con-

DESPERATE FIGHT IN A THEA
TER.


Captain sheely and Senator Il. II. Hall, Of
4 Laredo, Texas, Have q Desperate En-
counter In a Theater.
( LAREDO, Tex, June 3O.-Duflng the ses-
sion Of the last Legislature, Senator u. +.
Hall bitterly attacked the efficiency and
integrity Of the State Ranger force, which,
for years has guarded the frontier The
Senator was particularly severe in denuncia-
ton of those troops located in his district
which were under the immediate command
of Captain Joseph Sheely. These attacks
resulted In the final abandonment OF
Captain Sheely's command. Shelly had
long been known as one OF the
bravest men on the frontier, and his
departure was the cause of great regret For
ten months past every male lnhabitant along
the border has taken sides for or against the
Rangers The feeling between Hall and
Sheely became intensely bitter. About
eleven o'clock Saturday night Sheeiy
sauntered into the gallery Of Holland
theatre Seeing Senator Hall sitting In the
front row near an aisle, Sheely approached
and struck him square In the face, with
his open hand. He repeated this blow,
when Hall succeeded in getting. to
his feet. Instantly both drew
revolvers and began firing, Sheely re-
treating backward. A perfect panic ensued
in the theatre, and people rushed wildly
out on the street, to escape the flying bullets.
Bystanders momently expected Hall TO
drop with bullet, Sheely being famous
as a dead shot The Senator, however,
faced his dangerous antagonist In the most
desperate fashion, stepping forward and
firing every time Sheely fired.
AS Sheely reached the foot Of the stairs
Hall ran to the top and fired the
last BAH in his pistol Sheely gave no signs
of being hit, but pulled off his coat, and his
shirt was red with blood, This explained
why the Senator escaped with his life. In
the duel Sheely had been wounded by the
first bullet from Hall pistol, thus rendering
his aim uncertain. The ball entered the
right shoulder, coming out Just beneath the
shoulder joint. SUI 1.r.
on the last, instead of the first fire, but Sheely
denies this II was remarkable duel Six
shots on each side were exchanged. Halls
clothing was perforated, while q bullet
grazed Sheely's temple. I.t
The feud will undoubtedly be renewed as
soon as Sheely recovers sufficiently. No
arrests have been made. Other encounters,
as the outgrowth of this difficulty, are likely
TO occur at any moment between the friends
Of the combatants. Nothing on the frontier
in long time has created such partisan
feeling.

WHOLESALE LYNcHlNe
Twenty Horse Thieves and Outlaw
Lynched in Transferable Scenes.

Twenty Horse Thieves and Outlaws
Lynched in Texas-Terrible Scenes.
GAINESVILLE, Tex, June 80. The lynch
ings Of five horse thieves are reported in ad-
dltion to a recent report that fifteen men had
been hanged in two weeks. Efforts TO sub
stantate the last mentioned report resulted
in positive proof of the hanging, week
ago near Heldtown, Of Frank Morgan, Bill
Williams and boy named Moore. Bill
Williams, farmer living near Mud Creek,
was suspected and persons were detailed to
watch him. When II was learned that VIII
Jams had unlawfully taken possession Of an
other mans horse thirty-two determined
men visited his house and arrested him
Williams bade his family an affectionate
farewell, and told them II he did not return
in two days they might know he was dead.
Williams was then led several miles into
some thick timber where they were met by
another party having in charge Frank Nor
gan and the boy Moore. By a unanimous
vote. the men decided to hang Williams and
Morgan. Some contended that by reason of
the boys youth II was best 10 turn him
loose with moderate punishment, but It
was finally decided, as there was great prob
abilities of his becoming troublesome
criminal, Il was better he should die. Ac-
cordingly all were strung up on one limb.
Some of the posse climbed upon the limb
and pressed down upon the shoulders Of the
criminals in order that they might die
quicker.
After the men were dead they were all
cut down and buried together. The posse
then started on man hunt up TO the Wlch-
ita River, and reports came back that they
had captured and lynched nine more, thus
making total Of twelve The latter re-
port, however lacks confirmation, and
modes Of communication are so uncertain
that the facts are hard to get. The noted
detective, Jack Duncan, at the head Of q
squad Of well armed men, has gone TO the
Indian Territory In search Of the outlaws,
Jim and Hank Lee He carries three well
trained bloodhounds with him, which he
will use when the trail Is. struck. II Is
learned that three other squads are also in
the field on the same errand. The Lee boys
have long been terrors TO the Delaware Bend
people For the past few months they have
been loafing around that section. stealing
Unfortunately. They have repeatedly an
nounced that they would never surrender,
and interesting news may be expected from
that quarter.
