ger of Lynchfng.
Columbia, S. c., Feb. 25.-Four state con-
stables charged with the enforcement OF
the dispensary law, went at O'Clock this
evening to the residence of John Stuart
a respectable citizen and a clerk In one
of the biggest mercantile establishments
in the city, for the purpose of searching
it to see if there was any whisky in the
house
They went with a search warrant, but
were met at the door by Mrs. Stuart. She
sent for her husband who on arriving In
dignantly refused to permit the search.
The constables stated that they had been
informed that he had been selling whisky
contrary to the law and were determined
to make the search.
Words followed and finally upon Stuart $
cursing Constable Crawford the latter
slapped him. Stuart ran into his house.
His wife had come out on the piazza. From
the doorway Stuart opened fire on the con-
stables. Crawford returned 1t and shot
Mrs. Stuart just below the heart. The wo-
man was dangerously wounded, but not
killed. She is now lying in critical con-
dition at the city hospital Stuart was also
badly shot in the mouth, his tongue being
nearly severed.
In the fusillade that followed Constable
Crawford was shot through the left wrist.
The sheriff and several policemen ar
rested the constables and carried them 10

shooting spread all over the city and soon
AGO or 500 Infatuated men were in front of
the office making a big demonstration.
The constableS were kept prisoners in the
magistrates office all night guarded by the
sheriff and his deputies. The two local
military companies were ordered out and
kept the crowd pressed back
There is no danger of a lynching, but
public feeling is wrought up to a high
state and should Mrs. Stuart die, as now
seems probable. feeling will run high.

BURKE WAS FOUND GUILTY.
He and Judge DelIenbaugh i'm &
Questionable Transaction.


Cleveland, o., Feb. estate Senator
Vernon H. Burke was to-day found guilty
in the Circuit Court of the first specifca-
ton in the charges brought against him,
namely, unprofessional conduct involving
moral turpitude.
Mr.. Burke was jointly accused with
Judge Dellenbaugh, who was also found
guilty a short time ago
Burke was charged in the first specihca-
ton with being engaged by Judge Dellen-
baugh as attorney in the Manning aliena-
ton case, and as such attorney with ex-
torting $4,000 from Jane Doe in Settle
ment of the case.
Until a year or two ago. DelIenbaugh
and Burke were the closest personal
friends. When Hon. NJ. A Hanna began
his campaign for the United States Sem
ate, Judge Dellenbaugh became one of
his most active supporters. Burke, on the
other hand, as a member of the Ohio Sen
ate, was the leader in the state legisla-
ture of the anti-Hanna movement. This
resulted in bitter quarrel between Del
lenbaugh and Burke. Eventually sensa-
tional rumors were circulated concerning
Judge Dellenbaugh. Burke openly as
serted that he knew enough to drive Del
Limbaugh from the bench; that he had di-
vided fees with him in a case which had
been tried before Dellenbaugh as Judge.
Dellenbaugh denied these rumors Ia open
court and asked that the Cleveland Bar
Association investigate them. This was
done with the result that both Dellen-
baugh and Burke were brought before the
Circuit Court in disbarment proceedings.

fusing to attend such convention, either in
person or by representative. On this Ques-
tion the governor is not In accord with an
overwhelming majority Of the fusion party
of this State, and he stands absolutely
! alone among the State officials.
Il desire to enquire, therefore, if you
| would receive some other official to rep
resent the State who should be chosen and
properly accredited by the other State
| officials. The question is one of such
commanding Importance that the mere
whim of one man ought not to be allowed

in wrong light before the people of this

active support of all people who believe

State. the governor alone excepted. desire
