How an Immense Animal
Executed Himself.

There was feature of che State
fair which was not on the bills. A
1,5O0 pound short horn bull, q mag
ni6cent animal, committed suicide
by hanging himself with big rope,
and did so because he could not get
at another bull that had broken out
of his stall and was rowing around
looking for battle 1t was some
thing that would have created great
sensation in Spain.
The facts can easily be told Mr..
T. o. Sanders, of Hagood. Sumter
county, brought his splendid bull to
the fair. This particular bulls ia
ther had been shown at previous
fairs, and had always been winner
of prizes. He was superb animal,
and valued highly by it's owner: The
day he was loaded upon the cars
and started off for Columbia he tipped
the scales at 800 pounds even.
On Thursday night the bull was
put in his stall on the fair grounds for
the night. At some time during the
night another bull managed to break
loose and get out of his stall He
came near the stall in which Mr.
Sanders bull was fastened, and the
latter became greatly enraged He
was tied to the building by heavy
rope which was fastened about his
neck 1t is supposed that he endeav
ored to pull loose in order TO fight his
enemy. At auy rate when daylight
came and the attendant went to see
about the big fellow he found him
dead in the stall The rope around
his neck had slipped and tightened
until at last the animal was choked to
death, having effectively hung him
self 1t was very unusual thing
or bull to do, and yesterday the
peculiar accident was ouch talked of
about the grounds. Mr.. Sanders is
mourning over his loss.-The State,

Is HE OR IS HE NOT !?
Whereabouts of Newbold an
unknown Quantity.

: Newbold is like victory for the
South Carolina college football team
this year: be hasn't shown up yeti if
be is lingering anywhere within the
suburbs or vicinity of Columbia. and
last night the belief was generally
expressed that Dispenser Stevenson
has beer managing the "interler
renee" while Newbold was rushing
to make touchdown" out of reach
of his pursuers. 1t can hardly be
said that the sprinter is desirous of
making a *goal" The Stevenson
mystery is taken to have been good
play around the end Perhaps this
is the case, but if the man can be
found hereabouts who can tell "a"
from "izzard" about the tangle of
conflicting stories with which the
whole atmosphere here has been fill
ed for the past two days in regard to
Newbold's whereabouts, no one
knows where to look for bin. New
bold may be in hiding in or near
Columbia Chief DAILY believes be is
waiting for what he considers the
proper time 10 deliver himself up to
the authorities, but no one can tell
whether he is or not. Stevenson has
returned to his home in Winnsboro
presumably anyway, be is not in
the city and he is supposed to be the
only mall who claims to have had di-
rect communication with the slayer
of old man Turner
+, Yesterday q thousand conflicting
rumors could be heard as to New
bold's whereabouts Some knew
positively that he was within the city
limits, but when pinned down not a
man could be found but who would
say that he knew it because he had
seen man who had just been with
the fugitive. A great many express
ed the belief that it was all a fairy
tale and that Newbold was far away
Others again expressed the belief that
Newbold was merely waiting in hid
ing until the present term of court in
Spartanburg had adjourned. Others
believed that he is not trying to fee
from the State ALI kinds of beliefs
were expressed yesterday, but the
truth is, so far as the newspaper men
here are concerned, that the whole
thing is such mixture of statements
of a conflicting character that no one
can say what the status is. In the
absence of q Karl Decker in this
community, none save the chief Of
police have bothered thsir heads to
make any investigation towards as
certaining whether Newbold is here
or not.
Governor ElIerbe. when seen, yes
terday morning, simply stated that
he had nothing whatever to say about
the matter; if be heard anything he
would call the several newspaper
Office phones and say so. Last night
when asked again about it, he said
that he had heard nothing. Govern
or Ellerbe intimated yesterday morn
ing very strongly that if Newbold
! was anywhere in this vicinity be did
not know it and rather impressed his
bearers with the idea that he knew
nothing about the afair.-The State,
