SALUDA'S SECOND KILLING.
Three Men Attack ANA Kill u Noted
DcspcradO.
AnguSta Chronicle.

Augusta Chronicle.
Mr.. Joseph Murphy, the well known
Elils street Stable man. was an eyc
witness to most horrible killing on
Saturday which occurred AT SaIuda,
=. G., q small town twelve miles from
Johnston. Nh. Murphy was over there
selling stock and happened to be on
the main street the little town when
the bloody work was done.
Three men, q father and his two
sons. shot, cut and with rocks pounded
man to death, andup to the time MIR.
Murphy left Saluda they had not been
arrested.
The man who was killed was q noted
desperate. He had twice stood before
the tribunal of the State charged with
murder and on a third occasion was
tried for assault with intent to kill.
Twice he escaped the gallows by the
mercy OF a South Carolina Jury, and
once tho penitcntia"y.
Arising out of this last mentioned
case came difficulty that on Saturday
put an END to the criminul career of
Buzardt for all time. Bu2ardt had been
the terror of his section for years, and
it is believed that there are few who
are regretful OF his end. Buzardt had
ridden, 1T Is said, rough shod over the
community. He had kent at bay al! per-
sons who would have held him in check.
But at last he met his man, who, with
the assistance Of two others, called
him down forever.
Some years ago BuZardt killed man
by the name of Moss. He was not
hung, and then he killed d man named
Blay ton. About year ago BuZardt
shot Will Henderson, a well known
farmer. As usual with Buzardt, he
gotutf and since then Henderson has
been worried no little by the man. On
all occasions BuZardt bullied, brushed
up against, and in all ways possible
endeavc"ed to show to Henderson that
he thought him a coward. This went
on for year. Saturday the end camc.
Henderson, with his father and
brother, was at Saluda for the day and
Buzardt put in his appearance. Mr.
Murphy did not see the beginning of
the row, but thinks that BuZardt began
as usual his bullying. Will Henderson
was armed. In his right hand he had
& shot gun and in his left IL revolver
Henderson raised the gun in one hand
and fired at Buzardt. The shot did
not take effect and Buzardt turned
and ran.
Henderson dropping his gun and
catching his pistol in his right hand
loilOWed up the shooting. Three bull
let's took effect in Buzardt, one strik ing
him in tho leg, causing him to fall to
the ground.
AT this juncture old man Henderson
took hand. Picking up several large
stones he ran to the PROSTATE man and
pounded his face almost into a pulp.
Then camc the younger brother who,
! with a knife, stabbed Buzardt as he
lay upon the gl ound. Will Henderson
| had one more cartridge in his pistol,
and, standing over Buzardt, he fired.
This ball entered the right arm. BY
| ISLANDERS then interfered
M. Murphy said that when he left
Saluda Buzardt was dying.

as the guardsman hurried back to dress
for the night ride. Already the four
troops had marched to stables and were

excitement over across the river and
much scurrying through the struggling
street OF the cattle town Of well mount

Thorpe was as good as his word He
was rousing the county with venge-
ance, hoping to ride down the valley
i'll strong force within the hour and
wind up the whole business before
the cavalry could come to tho rescue of

occasional whoop and yell that came
ringing over on the still night air, and
he was in petulant mood bordering on
evaporation when admitted at the chap
lain's and ushered into the parlor.
where Kitty still lay olasped In the
mothers arms
She scrambled to her feet the instant
he entered and began an energetic out
burst, but the sight Of his woebegone
face checked her suddenly. Mrs. Farrar
read instantly the cause Of his gloom,
and her eyes frightened with rejoicing.
''iAyb bAy wy oLiSh YOU uOu nave
to go?"
Don't have to gol" was the wrath
ful answer. Don't have to gol I've
been on my knees to that stony hearted
old rip for the last ten minutes, and he
won't let me 60"
"9od bless himl" were the mothers
fervent words. "He knew - he we'll
knew-what it would cost mo to have
my only boy torn from mo at this
time, was the thought that flashed
through her mind, and her eyes welled
with grateful tears, though she could say
no more. 1t was Kitty who restored tho
social equilibrium. 81 won't have YOU
speak of Uncle Fenton in that disgrace
full way, Mr.. Farar. You ought to be
thankful you don't have to go, as you
put it. Havo you totally forgotten our
engagement for tomorrow night?''
'Oh, for heavens sake, Kittyl What
Is that ut such time as this? There
won't be sign of dance unless they
all get back in time, and I'd rather be
dead than left here the first scout the
regiment has after my joining it, He
threw himself disgustodly into chair,
refusing to see his mothers outstretched
hand and for the time boing absolutely
indifferent to Kitty sreproaches. 1t was
the discovery Of this fact that taught
