A SERIOUS CHARGE.
SIX ARRESTS MADE AT LAKE
CITY ON TUESDAY.

Seven U. S. Marshals Make the Ar
rests. No Fear Shown by the Accused.
A Preliminary Hearing To-day.
Harry S Stokes. Moultrie Epps,
Henry Goodwin, r E Mcknight,
w A Webster, and n V Ward were
arrested on Tuesday by United
States marshals. a warrant having
been issued by Post-office Inspec-
tor Bulla, in which tEey were
charged with being implicated in
the killing of Frazer Baker on the
night of February Is. They were
carried to Charleston Tuesday
night and were to have prelim-
mary hearing yesterday. The
young men arrested all bear good
characters and their friends con-
slider their arrest an outrage. The
accused took the matter very
quietly, and seemed confident of
speedy release.
The people of Lake City claim
that the whole thing is trumped
up story concocked by Erley Lee
and Joseph Newham, who have
turned States evidence in hope Of
getting the large reward offered for
the lynchers' I NJ Gilland Esq.
of this place, has been retained for
the defence Of the prisoners.
The officers expected that resis-
tance would be made, and were
bristling with shooting irons in
true "Old Slueth' style when they
arrived at Lake City. 1t was quite
a tame ending when the men sub
mitted so quietly. The parties
arrested all live in or near Lake
City except r + Mcknight,
whose home is at Scranton. No
news from the preliminary hear
Ing has reached here yet, but it is
hoped that the accused will have
no trouble in showing themselves
to be innocent.

Columbia, 5. g., June 25.-An.
other week has been spent by the
Independent Battalion, 5. e. v.
at Camp Fitzhugh Lee, and still
no marching orders have been re-
ceived. Major Thompson, like the
true soldier that he is, never COM
plains, and keeps right on with
his work with a cheerful smile al
ways on his face. The men are
not so contented to do duty here,
but keep talking about the "shab-
by way" they are being treated by
the war department.
The new uniforms have arrived
and the mer present fine appear.
ance. The uniforms are of dark
blue, light weight material, and
the broad brimmed campaign hats
and brown leggings add mnch to
the appearance of the men. All
the men now in camp have COM
plete army regulation equipments
and they are satisfied ir this re.
spect. Major Thompson took his
Battalion out for a street parade
Tuesday afternoon. The Battalion
made quite fine appearance, and
many were the favorable CON-
ments heard on all sides. The
men drill remarkably we'll, and
Major Thompson and the several
captains deserve great credit for
the work that has been done.
All interest is now centered in
the appointments that are to be
made for the new regiment by the
Governor next Monday. Before
this is published the appointments
will have been already made. As
is we'll known. the United States
Government has called upon South
Carolina for eight more companies
of infantry, and these eight COM
panies are to be added to the In
dependent Battalion and a new
regiment formed. There are
scores of applicants for..the regi-
mental appointments, and specu-
lation IS rife as to who will be the
successful men. The men all
want Major Thompson for Colonel,
but there is no telling who will be
selected by Governor Ellerbe.
Great pressure is being brought to
bear upon the chief executive
from every possible source for
each of the candidates for the sew
eral positions, and it is impossible
to say who has the ''inside track"
Major Thompson has recently ap-
pointed five recruiting officers tor
the Battalion, and Sergeant G J
Epps, of Company D, is now, or
soon will be, in Kingstree
for the purpose Of getting recruits
for his company or any other
company in the Battalion.
The guard house has been a
