Theodore Fourcher, trick bicycle rider,
who gave exhibitions at Charleston last
week, performed a feat that showed him
to be a man of remarkable nerve. He
was riding along King street, when run
away horse attached to a vehicle dashed
by him and threatened to create havoc
If his desperate chase was not arrested
Mr.. Fourcher rode rapidly, and overtaking
the horse, he rode up close and caught
hold of the rein, and endeavored to stop
him. The rein broke, but the fearless rider
held on, and after going some distance he
succeeded in stopping the horse without
dismounting from his wheel. 1t was pro-

jaw to the bone and teeth. He was con-
fined to his room some time. and when

Florence es-Messenger: John e.
Dennis returned Monday night from the
| scene of the Ashpole murder, whittier he
was called with the bloodhounds Mr.
| Dennis reached the scene of the murder
! eleven hours after It had happened, and
! Immediately put the hounds upon the trail
| of the negroes. three of whom had gone
| off together. The hounds caught the scent
| at once, and carried IL unerringly until
| they arrived at a point at which the me-
| groes separated. Mr.. Dennis then thought
| il wise TO take up the trails separately
! and did so. The three negroes were all
| caught one, in a house, the other two In
trees, where they had been driven by the
| baying of the dogs. When the negroes
were arrested they implicated six others
| and divulged their hiding places. Nine men
| are now in Jail awaiting trial.
