Riddled from Ambush.

HAMPTON, S. c., June 16.-Captain
James Mixsoo, one Of the best known
citizens of the Staffor6's section. was
terribly and fatally shot near the
Steep Bottom ';ross Roads Monday
night, while on his way home. The
murdered man was shot from the rear
with load of buckshot, twelve of these
entering his back.
Considerable excitement instantly
ensued in the locality as soon as the
news of the tragedy became pretty gen
orally circulated. When Ml1son was
shot he called loudly for help, his cries
attracting colored man, Sylvester
Jones, VINO came to the spot, to find
the unfortunate victim frlghtfuliy
wounded. Mixson was conveyed to
his home where he expired in short
time. Excitement became enhanced
by the mystery of an assassination
whose victim was known to be without
deadly foes and as man Of sobriety.
fiiandliness and industry.
Efforts we're at once made to locate
and capture the guilty party, and as
a result Cordry Mims, a cotored man,
has been arrested aud lodged in Jail
here. The evidence against him is
purely circumstantial, but is very
Strong. 1t is the o?ioion that Minis
mistook Captain Mlxson for a negro
named Elliott Rivers, whom be sus-
pected of being intimate with his wife
and had said be had intended to kill.
Minis was near the scene of the sub.
sequent murder On Monday afternoon,
having with him his gun, and an eX-
animation OF this gun showed that one
barrel had been recently discharged.
II is said that he could give no account
of his whereabouts Monday nigh and
that he was not at homa.-Guardiau.

lQ0icteC,

DARLINGTON, June l3.-The Court
of Sessions adjourned today. having
waited since yesterday 10 receive Toe unal
report OF the grand jury. This body has
been considering various complications
that arose from the recent tragedy here
brought on by the counstables. The
final presentmcnt made today in this
case, to be hereafter known as the State
of South Carolina versus the State OF Car.
DINA, was unexpected and acted like a
boomerang.
Assistant Attorney General Barber
was here TO have the case Of the State
against certain citizens, for firing lnto
the Charleston, Sumter and Northern
train on the day of the tragedy properly
presenteI. After bearing the evidence
against seventeen of our citizens IN this
case the jury presented true bills against
: Capt John G. Blackwell and others'
f,r this offence. II will be re DeUbered
tha. at the time OF the tragedy McLen-
don. who was wounded, was carried 10
iail by Sheriff Scarborough, he having
been delivered to the sheriff by the Darl.
ingtou Guards, who had been 10 charge.
Ga the day after the killing unknown
pa, ties were allowed entrance to the jail
and McLendon was spirited away.
Full particulars concerning his escape
were published in The News and Cour-
Ter at The time, and I'll details were
given, even 80 to how bis mustache was
t.immed and how the change OF bis ap-
ra.el was effected. This matter was
brought to the attention Of the grand
jury ani they gave It most careful con-
siGera.ion. As the result Sheriff Scar
borough and his deputy were presented
for allowing McLsndon to make SUCH an
exit from durance as be did when charged
wuh The grave CRIME Of homicide, aud
Meesrs w. J. W. Skinner and Simpson
Skinner were also presented for having
aided McLsndon in etectiDg hls escape.
The Jury was composed OF mixed ma
terial, with majority Of Tlllmanltes,
and gave this case long ana most care!ui
consideration.
Couns,ab!e Nswbold, has been
working here f3r some time, and it was
kno vi last week that the names ofe!gh-
teen prominent citizens would be pres
ented for having fired on the Charleston,
Sumter aud Northern tam. Nothing
was known until today, however, OF the
action taken 10 reference to The present
ment against Sheriff Scarborough and
bis deputy and the Messrs. Skinner for
effectino McLendOn's escape when be
was charged with such crime The &C.
ton Of the jury seems to have been fair
and non partisan, and for this all thanks.
