Beat Her Ears OF.

P11TsoURd PENN, April lone of
the most sensational occurrences
around the wharf for some time hap
pened tonight. Mrs. Jennie Wilson
went to the boat supply stores of Ar
mold Bros. Inside the Office she was
attacked by large bull dog, which
sprang upon and knocked her down.
The brute badly lacerated her face,
head and breast. One of her ears was
bitten off and hung by shred of flesh.
To escape the dog she ran to the
third story and dropped or jumped
from the third story window. Her
body was caught on the awning frame,
and to this she owes her life. On be-
ing arrested she claimed that Arnold's
bookkeeper knocked her down and
urged the dog on her. W. s. Arnold
says the woman has been annoying
him by her attentions.

STABBED TO DEATH.
Murfreesboro Merchant Killed in a
Shocking Tragedy.
Foreman Clarence Kiegert, OF the News
Office, Plunges Il Knife Into
w. b. Smith.

MURFREEsBoRo, Tenn, March ST.
Yesterday evening about o'clock w.
B. (Buck) Smith, a prominent mer.
chant of this city, was fatally stabbed
by Clarence Kiegert, foreman in the
Murfreesboro NeUS Office.
1t seems that Smith had sued or
threatened to sue Kiegert on an ac-
count, and that information reached
Klegert that Smith had talked about
him in any but respectful manner.
Yesterday evening the two met on
the corner at the old Methodist church,
Kiegert asked Smith if he had been
talking about him. Smith, so Keigert
claims, ran his hand into his trousers
pocket as if preparing to draw a knife,
and at the same time remarked 70
Kiegert that he was ga low down pup
py," and thot he did not want to have
anything to do with him. The words
had hardly been spoken when Kiegert
leaped forward and drove the blade OF
pocket knife up to the hilt in Smiths
breast.
The blade entered just under the
heart Smith quickly drew his hand
over the wound and staggered up the
street about thirty yards and fell in
the doorway of his store, dying a few
moments later
Kiegert followed Smith up the street
is the square, throwing stones at him
all the way, so several eye witnesses
say. But he was stopped by G. r
Cox, who induced him to let Smith
alone.
A coroner's inquest was held shortly
after the killing. Kiegert surrounded
himself and has been placed in jail.
Mr.. Smith leaves a wife and several
small children. Kiegert is also mar
ried man, with two children.

WAR AT DARLINGTON
Gov Tillman's Spies Responsible
for Terrible Tragedy.
Alteration Results in the Killing Of
Two COnstableS and Two
Citizens.

DARLINGTON, S, c., March 9O-Every-
thing ha quieted down last night and
the Sumter light infantry and consta-
bles were to depart to-day. Eighteen
constabbles went to the depot of the
Cheraw and Darlington road to de-
part. The train was late and not many
citizens were at the depot. Two of
them, Paul Rogers and Billy Floyd,
had an alteration. Floyd struck Rog-
ers in the face with brass knucks. The
latter had quarreled with Constable
McLendon earlier in the week, and
McLendon had been fined for drawing
a pistol on Rogers. McLendon had
some words with a Mr.. Redmond
about the Floyd-Rogers fight. Some
say Redmond cursed McLendon and
McLendon fired at Redmond. Others
say McLendon fired at Rogers and
that the ball passed through Red
mond's throat, killing him instantly.
Firing then became general and cit
liens hurried to the scene of encoun-
ter. IT. was found that the constables
had scattered to the woods and four
men were lying on the ground-Red-
mond, Frank Norment, citizens, and
Constables Pepper and McLendon.
Pepper was shot through the heart and
McLendon through the stomach. The
latter is still living, but will die. Nor
ment is dead. Chief OF Police Dargan
was shot in the side. Several citizens
were wounded
One hundred and fifty men are
mounted and securing the woods Tor
the constables, who are armed with
Winchesters and will fight for their
lives. The Darlington guards are I'm.
der arms, endeavoring to preserve the
peace, but the trouble has outgrown
their control. Sheriff Scarborough is
powerless and under threats of being
killed by the citizens if he interferes.
One of the wounded constables is in
Darlington in jail, protected by the
local military company. Mr.. Norment,
who was killed, had taken no part in
the riotous proceedings of the last two
days and had gone to the depot on
business of his own.
There is great excitement all over
the state. Tonight in Columbia, the
excitement was at fever heat, and
threats were made against the Gov
ernor and in favor of burning the dis
pensaries.
Gov. Tillman will uphold the law,
no matter at what cost, and will call
on the country companies to enforce
obedience should the city military
continue to refuse to act.
At this hour Il q. n.y. the constables
are said to be surrounded in the swamp
and slaughter is expected at day
light.
charlottesville Drenran, one of
the three who left Darlington by the
Charleston, Sumter and Northern rail
road early in the day and is now here,
reports to the governor that his de-
tachment was fired on by the mob as
the train Was pulling out, and that at
about the same time the other detach-
ment about to leave on the Cheraw
and Darlington road, and in sight of
them, was similarly set upon by the
citizens.
