THE TOWN EXCITED.
Contraband Liquor Causes A Fatal
Shooting BY A State Marshal

Contraband Liquor Causes A Fatal
Shooting BY A State Marshal
In South Carolina.
Charleston, s. C., Dec. ia spec
ial to the News and Courier, from
Cheraw, s. c., says: The usually quiz
ct town of Chesterfield is excited over
a fatal shooting that took place there.
1t is claimed that much of the con-
traband whisky brought into this
section of the state comes from the
distilleries on the state line. Recently
Marshal ''Pink" Brantley, of Chester
field, attempted to capture a man
named Clark, passing through the
streets in a buggy, and the effort re-
suited In the shooting and severe
wounding of Clark by the marshal.
Soon after this, reports were rife or
the extensiveness Of the hauling
through Chesterfield, and few days
ago State Constable Geo. j. Brown
turned up there and has been on the
lookout since. Early the past week
he. with a party, captured lot of the
stuff. committed to jail several parties,
and warrants were issued for others.
Following close on all this the consta-
BILE had pointed out to him a man
driving through the town In a buggy
with fodder tied on behind, and was
fold that if he watched for him on his
return he would probably be apie TO
make another capture. The constapie
summoned Deputies Press Douglass.
Swinnie and Dock Chapman, ana
stationed himself and party on the
road leading to the town and along
which the buggy would have to pass
on its returen. Near nightfan the
man was sighted. The four officers
stationed themselves all on one SID
of the road SO that in case or any
shooting they would not hit each 9TH
err. AS the man in the buggy neared
them Constable Brown says he order
ed him to throw up his hands and sur
render. He leaned over and the con-
stable saws raised long revolver and
pointed directly at him, and in an IN
slant a shot was heard from one OF
the party and the man fell in his bug
CIV. The wounded man was found to
be Press Kelley, from Darlington
county.
He was taken at once to Jail and
physicians summoned, who reported
that he had evidently been shot with
shotgun, one shot entering just over
the right eye, one over the left eye,
and one on each side of the nose. The
Rhysicians pronounced the wounds
fatal, and it was not thought that
Kelley would be alive today. The
captured team and whisky are in the
hands of the sheriff. Mr.. Brown de-
clines to say which one of the party
did the shooting, but it could not have
been him, for he says he was armed
with two pistols, so that the fatal shot
fust have been fired by one Of the dep
uties. Brown claims that he would
have been killed had not the shot
been fired by his party, as Kelley had
his pistol almost in his face. The
constable was advised to be on his
guard, and change his quarters last
night, by some of the citizens of the
place, as Kelley is one Of the Kelley
brothers, of Kelelytown, near Harris
vile, and they feared for his safety.
He came to Cheraw and spent the
night here, claiming that he did so not
through fear, but to be able to COM
municate with the pOyernOr

.REFORMERS MAY UNITE.
An Interesting Movement Started
for the Coalition of the
Parties.
Various Elements That Would Be
Welcomed Into the Ranks of
the PopulistS.

CHICAGO, ILL, Jan. 4.-The fact de-
veloped this afternoon that an important
move is on foot looking to a rounding UP
OF representative mem bers OF all reform
parties, such as the Bimetallic League,
ProhiDitiopists, Woman Suffragists,
Changers, Trades Unionists, etc., at the
time and place that may be fixed for the
national convention of the Peoples party
with the view of forming a coalition of
these elements and the placing in the field
of a union Presidential ticket
The National Committee of the Popu-
lists meets at st. Louis week from next
Friday for the purpose of deciding upon
the place and date for holding the conven-
ton, and that city, as well as Milwaukee,
Minneapolis, Dallas, Atlanta Omaha and
Kansas City are in the field for the privi-
lege OF entertaining the delegates
The Illinois committee has also been
quietly working 20 the same end, and
Eugene Smith, the National committee
man from this State, has ben in CORE
spondence with leading members of the
party East, West and South The nu-
merous replies that he has received have
developed the existence of u remarkab ly
strong sentiment in favor ofinviting the sill
yer, temperance and other reform elements
10 meet with the PCpulists for conference
day or two before the National Conven-
ton, and the National Committee at its
forthcoming meeting will be asked either
to SO word its call as to lay the ground
work of such union, or issue special in
vitation to all reform parties to meet at
the time and place for which the conven-
ton may be set.
Committeeman Smith said this after
noon that, from the extent of his CORE
spondence, he was satisfied that every
State in the Union would be represented
by its full com plement of delegates and al
ternates. and that it would be one of the
largest National political gatherings of the
year.

AN INSANE MAN MAY HANG.
Compile atoms That Pr vent the Governor OF
Nebraska From Interfering With
the Execution.

LINCOLN, NEBR., Jan. 4.-Unless action
by the proper officials is speedily taken
John B. Walker of Lexington, Dawson
County, will be hanged on January 10 for
murder. Walker is insane-at least Gov
ernor Holcomb is now SO convinced, as are
many neighbors of the condemned man.
The Governor is interested in the case, and
at the same time worried, inasmuch as he
presided at the trial and sentenced Walker
while be was District Judge. Walker
lived the life of a hermit, and killed a
neighbor who ventured on his land. The
law provides that county officials where
the crime was committed must pass on a
condemned mans sanity; but, possibly
owing to the bitter feeling against him,
this has not been done, and he has no
friends to intercede. AS a last resort the
Governor may grant temporary reprieye.
