There was an unusually large crowd
of people in YorkvilIe last Wednes'
day and trade generally was good.
The beauty of Yorkville's shade
trees Just at this season is something
to be proud of. And it is fact that
the Yorkville people are proud of this
beauty.
While there seems to be little reason

how we went back to the house. 1t
was bitterly cold and we had had
enough of it anyway. When we got
back to the house there was large
number of people, including many
Negroes, who had come while we were
away. One of the dogs picked out
Negro in the crowd and made for him,
or at least became so fierce all of a
sudden that he could hardly be con-
trolIed. Just about that time MIR.
Culp remarked very emphatically that
the man we are looking for is right
here in this crowd None of up paid
any particular attention to the remark
at the time, as we had no suspicion of
the thing but now that it is all over,
l can see that the dog was really
right"
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1899-04-29
THE DOGS WE'RE RIGHT.

1t will be remembered that on the
occasion of the murder of old Sam
Simril, near Newport, last Christmas,
one of the first moves of the people
who undertook to run down the guilty
parties was to telephone to the stock
ade for the assistance of the blood
hounds.
The bloodhounds were hurried to the
scene without delay, and on being put
on the suspicious tracks, followed them
readily to a point where there had
been a good deal of passing to and
from a party or something of the kind,
and here the trail was lost. AS mat
ter of fact the inability of the dogs to
continue the trail through such maze
of tracks was not to their serious dis
credit; but, all the same, the public
was inclined to the verdict that they
were "not much good"
1t now develops, however, that, after
all, the dogs were right. Magistrate
Anderson, who was in Yorkville on
Tuesday, recalled an incident which
entities the dogs to "new trial"
His story, in brief is, 1--WE followed the
trail until the dogs became confused,
or rather we thought they were con-
fused, and went back to the place from
which we started-the house near
which the killing took place. AS a
matter of fact, the dogs had shown a
disposition to 60 in another direction.
We felt sure they were wrong. Any

FIRED BY LIGHTNING.

The lightning cut some serious ca.
pers during thunder storm last Tues
day afternoon, setting two fires in this
county one at Glover and the other
at Rock Hill.
The first case reported to The EN-.
oUIRER was the destruction of the
barn belonging to Mr.. G. w. Knox at
Clover. The barn was burned with a
mare and colt, and some 1000 bundles
of fodder and other provender. Har-
ness and few tools were saved from
the flames. The total loss is in the
neighborhood of $3.50, with no insur'
ance.
While in the warehouse at the Man
chester Cotton mill in Rock Hill, Tues.
day afternoon, Mr.. P. G. McCorkle no.
ticed a sudden flash that was followed
by a sheet of fame running over cot
ton bales. He seized a bucket and
threw water on the flames without
much effect; but within minute OF
two the blast in the building started
the automatic sprinklers into opera
ton, and soon the big pile of cotton
which could have otherwise been de-
stroyed, was flooded.

THE GIFT PIANOS.

Aside from the interest of customers
who are competing for the gift pianos
being offered by the Ganson Dry Goods
company and Mr.. H. G. Strauss, the
instruments continue to furnish pleas
ure to local people.
Mrs. Joe Person, the we'll known
medicine manufacturer, was in York.
Vile this week, and being an accom-
plished musician, gave two free con
certs-one at the Ganson Dry Goods
company and the other at Mr.. Strauss's
The old lady took advantage of the
occasion to advertise herself, and the
live dry goods men fully appreciated
the probable advantage to themselves
However all this may be, large crowds
were on hand at both entertainments
Whether known and generally for
gotten or not generally known until
not long ago, it is a fact that Mr..
Strauss is quite an accomplished per-
former on the piano. He sits down
to his instrument occasionally and
makes music that surprises the natives.
When a much younger man than he
is now, he devoted a great deal OF
time to the study of the piano but for
good many years has neglected his
practice.
Miss Sallie Adickes, one of the most
accomplished of local piano artists,
from time to time delights with her
music the customers in the Ganson
Dry Goods store, and, as suggested,
aside from the enterprise of these live
merchants in giving away for adver-
tising purposes such valuable presents
as they are Offering, the public is being
treated to a great deal of free music OF
high class that would not otherwise
be going.
