AVENGED HIS FAMILY HONOR.
A south Carolina Man Fills His DauEb-

A south Carolina Man Fills His DauKb-
ters seducer with Bullets.
Columbus, Is. c. Special: A homicide
of a very unusual character occurred at
Ridgeway, twenty miles northeast of heIe,
this morning. just before sunrise, as Aft
red Prolean, q negro, was going to his
work, passing an unOccupied store near
the railway track, he was suddenly fired
upon by Cornelius Means, also cOlored.
The weapon used Was a dOubIe-barreled
shotgun Seven buckshot entered the vic
TINS arm between the elbow and the
shoulder, breaking the limb in three places.
Five buckshOt took effect in the body Just
below the armpit infiicting a wound
which the examining physician pro-
nounced sufficient to produce death. Means
was about fifteen feet from his victim,
and as the latter fell TO the ground, be
rushed upon him and struck him three
heavy blows with the butt of the gun upon
the forehead, breaking the weapon at the
breach. Returning To the house, in front
of which he had fired. Means laid by his
gun and got bis pistol. Then. standing
over the now dead body, he pointed his pis-
tol downward and fired once, the ball en-
tering the wooden bridge upon which the
corpse lay. Means Immediately surren-
dered himself 10 8 constable, demanding
the protection of the law and declaring
that he had had slain PrOlean in defense of
his family honor. On the finding of the
cOroner's jury he was committed to Fair
field jail, where he now Is.
The provOcation TO the killing was the
seduction of one of Means daughters by
Proleau. She was at home about Christ
mas, and at this time il was that PrOleRn
accomplished his purpose. Her father
watched ner with great care, and gave her
the advantage of education. Means Is a
highly respectable eOlOred man. and has
been conspicuous for his adherence tc the
democratic party at much personal risk.
He had the office Of county commissioner
for three years. nominated thereto by the
democrats He stands high in his church.
The sympathy of the whites is strongly on
his side. PrOlean did not bear good char
acter, being q noisy, troublesome and quar-
relsOme fellow, though not dangerous. He
had loaded pistol in his pocket when be
was killed. The feeling Of the negroes is
very bitter against Means, and some of
them this morning talk about lynching, but
there is no chance of such a thing. This
is the first case Of killing by a negro to vim
dicAte family honor that has ever occurred
IN South Carolina Ii makes very de-
cided sensation.

BoULDER's COURT HOUSE.

People Interested in It, Construction
Likely Ia Lose Some Money.
BOULDER, June 12.-ISpeciaI to the Inde-
pendent I-Our county fathers after audit
ing the accounts of Contractor Mckenzie
prior TO their receiving the new court
house, find deficiency of about IS, 900 due
for labor and material furnished Parties
whose time for fiIing lien has not expired
by limitation will probably do so and get
their claims. Quite a number of the
claims have expired, and those parties will
lose all their claim, as all the assets of Mr..
Mckenzie outside of the claim against the
court house have been sold or transferred
to the jefferson County bank. The bond
of $4,000 given by the contractor is held
by the commissioners 70 be good 70 protect
the county. But it is held by some that as
the commissioners in q number of Instances
had violated the contract themselves, they
could not in justice hold the bOndsmen per-
sOnally responsible
There is considerable dissatisfaction ex-
pressed among the citizens concerning the
furniture delivered, it being claimed that
it does not come up TO the specifications in
either quality or quantity, one of the rival
bidders for the original contract having
made oath as to what the original contract
schedule and specifications were.
Grand preparations are being made for
the Fourth, and Boulder in tends 70 do her
self proud on that day.
