Island Boys Fired On While Making Depre-
dations on Strawberry Patch.
Island gardeners have been annoyed
recently by boys getting in their gar
dens and stealing their strawberries
by the wholesale. Wednesday night
some boys were in the garden of John
Smith, on the lower part of the Island,
and were given a warm reception. Mr..
Smith had sustained considerable
losses a number of times by depreda-
tons on the part of the youngsters,
and decided to take forcible means to
stop the practice. While the boys
were in the strawberry patch, gather
ing lucious berries in large quantities
they were startled by the report of
shotgun near at hand. One boy named
Clarence Vans was struck in the side
of the face and head by a portion of
the storm of shot and was painfully
hurt and nearly scared to death. This
will probably be a lesson TO the young
sters.

WARWICK SHUT DOWN.

A portion of the Warwick pottery
closed down yesterday for the summer.
The clay hands, numbering about half
of those employed at the pottery, quit
work and the others will stop next
week. The Warwick has been running
steadily since the holidays and is not
expected to remain closed down long
as the company has plenty OF orders on
hand. The employees are arranging for
various recreations in which to spend
the summer vacation. Many Will go as
usual, with fishing parties, as this seems
n he a favorite summer pastime for
workingmen.

A. G. Bell Assigns.

A. G.. Bell, who is the pioneer color
ed merchant of Brookhaven and the
one who has carried on the largest
business of any colored man who
ever lived in the place, made an
assignment to his creditors Monday
evening. Henry Meyer is named as
assignee. His liabilities are about
5000 and assets estimated the same
or a little in excess of that amount.
There are two classes of preferred
creditors, his local creditors naturally
being given the preference.
In addition to his mercantile bust
ness Bell kept wood yard and ran a
farm near town. He was industrious,
enterprising and ambitious, and it is
no doubt due to his effort to carry on
too many enterprises with limited
capital and experience, that he failed.
He was generally regarded by both
white and colored as thrifty and pros
porous and his failure was a great sur,
prise. 1t deserves to be said to his
credit that no colored who has ever
lived in Brookhaven has conducted
himself in q more commendable and
praiseworthy manner, and he has the
respect, and in his business reverse the
hearty sympathy of our best citizens
of both races.

BOILER EXPLOSION.

Three Persons Killed and -Four Badly
wounded at Bogue Chitso.
The large saw mill of B. E. Brister
4 Co., at Bogue Chitto, was the scene
of terriEc boiler explosion yester-
day morning about 9 o'clock. The
thunder-like noise attracted an ex-'
cited crowd to the scene in few min
utes and John Branning and Simpson
Scott, white, and Merely Buchanan,
colored youth, all employees Of the
mill, we're dragged from the wreck
and debris mangled and dead. Four
more persons we're found to be pain
fully injured, viz:
Mack McCaffery, fireman, face and
head badly scalded and thigh broken.
Thos. McGehee, saw-filer, wound on
the head and scalded.
Commodore Smith, day -laborer, bad
ly scalded.
Jane Buchanan, a small colored girl
present on some errand, scalded and
leg broken.
Others were more or less stunned
by the shock or struck by the flying
debris, but none seriously injured.
Drs. Thompson and Trotter and other
physicians rendered prompt surgical
assistance to the wounded and it is be-
lieved all will recover.
Branning and Scott, the dead men,
both have dependent and almost des-
titute families. The former had a
wife and five small childen and the
latter wife and four little ones, who
will never hereafter know fathers
love and protection.
Branning was a Lawrence. county
man. McGehee and McCaffery are
also men with families. The screams
of the women and children of the
town Immediately after the accident
as they rushed to the mill, each one
thinking a loved one had persisted, il
said to have been truly heart-rending
A LEADER reporter visited the scene
yesterday afternoon and for 30 yards
around where the battery of boiler:
stood, might have been taken fol
a sample section of the BeauregarC
cyclone. The marvel is that the Loss
of life was not much greater. There
was battery of three boilers. One O.
them exploded, displacing the Others
and sending fragments of boiler, tim
bers, piping and debris flying in ever!
direction for yards around.
There are various theories as to thu
cause of the accident, the prevailing
one being that the boiler was defec
tive, and that too great volume o.
cold water was turned on.
The loss to Messrs. Brister Il Co
will fall little, if any, short of five thou
sand dollars.
