boy was brutally murdered by negro
man and the murderer burned to death
by an infuriated mob of white farmers
near here last Tuesday.
During the fall party Of farmers have
been fishing on Thorry Grove beach.
near Little river, S. c. On Monday. No
vember 1st, one of the farmer boys,
named Stevens, left for his home on the
Waccamaw river, with an ox4and cart,
carrying a package of money. The father
of Stevens went home, but found that
nothing had been heard of his son since
he had left the beach.
1t was learned that a negro, named
Nathan Willis had borrowed gun and
left the beach shortly after Stevens son
had departed for his home. A posse was
organized by the sheriff and Willis was
traced about thirty miles to Town creek,
N. c., where he was found on last We'd
nesday, having in his possession Ste

POTTED THE BARKEEP
A DANGEROUS CLIMAX TO A
DRUNKEN ROW
His Intended Victim Escapes With
but Slight Wound-The Mexi-
can Under Arrest

Alexandra Adma, a Mexican, shot
Louis Pfirrmann. the barkeeper of sa-
loon at the corner of First and Los An
geles streets, at II o'clock last night, in
hicting flesh wound in the cheek
which, however, is not dangerous. Ale
jandro was arrested by Officer Craig
and charged at the police station with
an assault to commit murder.
A quarrel started in one of the back
rooms between Alexandra and a man
named Tom Slowly. Both were intoxi-
Gated. The barkeeper heard the fracas
and went back to see what was the mat =
ter. Finding the two men fighting, he
shouted to some one in the front of the
saloon to call policeman. Alexandra,
with an oath, drew a revolver from his
pocket and fired three or four shots at
the barkeeper. The barkeeper FELL and
it was at first supposed that he was
fatally hurt.
Officer Craig heard the shooting and
hurried to the saloon. He arrived there
before Alexandra had an opportunity to
escape, and placed the Mexican under
arrest. The injured barkeeper was
taken to the receiving hospital in the
patrol wagon. An examination showed
that he was not seriously hurt. The re-
volver used was 44-caliber bulldog; the
bullet had entered at the point of the
chin on the left side and followed the
jaw around to the ear. where it lay flat
tened out just below the skin.
When arrested Alexandra was sulky.
He remarked to the police clerk while
being searched that he only shot Pfirr-
mann because he was drunk.

NO CLEW FOUND
To the Supposed Murderer Of Andrew
SattO

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 27.-The po-
lice are searching diligently for some
clew to Andrew Satto, recent arrival
from New York, who disappeared under
suspicious circumstances last Monday
afternoon. Satto and his wife took up
their abode in a Montgomery avenue
lodging house on Monday morning. Lat
er in the day Satto went to transfer
office to arrange for the delivery of his
trunks. He had $40 in his possession
when he started. He did not reach the
express office until late in the after
noon, and the theory of detectives is
that he must have visited some saloon
and exhibited his wealth and that he
fell into the hands of sharpers. He
visited the express office, accompanied
by sleek looking man, and since that
time nothing has been heard Of him. In
the pursuit of the theory that sharpers
have waylaid him every confidence man
In the city will be placed under sur
veilance. The police unearthed a slight
cew late this afternoon.
NOBODY KNOWS HIM
NEW YORK, Nov. 26.-The name Of
Andrew Satto does not appear in the
New York directory, and the Third
Avenue company officials say that no
such man was ever in their employ.
