George Washington Jones. of North

State just at present.
George has gone into business as an
outlaw. He is attending right to it stead
lily, and so far he has met with entire
success. He is standing off the high
sheriff, the deputies and all the constab-
ulary of the county of Lincoln, and ap-

ease. He has won the sObripuet of The
Terror Of the Woods" When his neigh

man, nor bloodthirsty one. but he is de

Some months ago it was discovered that
George Washington Jones was leyying al

on the focks and fodder of his neighbors.
II had been known in the community for
a long time that Mr.. Jones wasn't as care
full as he should be about property rights
At last several fragrant thefts and robber

his conversation with several parties who
went to him to demonstrate that he should
steal all he wanted and should steal when
ever it suited him to steal

WAR CHESTS OF EUROPE.

4 source of amaZement to Continental
politicians is the facility with which
Great Britain obtains the money to carry
on the South African campaign. Even
our severest critics acknowledge that in
no other country could the many millions
already voted have been obtained so
readily.
This is all the more wonderful to them
when they remember that in the sense
they understand it England has no war
chest TO fall back upon. The explanation
is simple enough England. being the
richest country in the world. her credit
stands high, and she is able to raise vast
sums at moments notice.

they have something like eTO000.0OO

silver ready for var time. The Austro-

A FLOUR SACK SAVES LIFE.
Inflated With Air. 1t Prevents Il Hun
ter From Drowning.
(From the s.. Louls Chronic


A common flour sack and the use of his
wits saved Chris Hansen, a market hun
ter, from death by drowning in the bay
OFF Sausalito, Cal. 1t has been his pTac-
tice to spend the early morning hours
shooting on the bay near this place. This
morning. while returning in a skin from
the hunting grounds, Hansen in some
manner caused his shotgun. which was "
ing in the bottom of the boat. to explode.
The barrel being pointed downward the
man received no injury. but the full con-
tents of the weapon passed through the
vessel, tearing a Jagged hole in it's bot
tom.
In a few minutes the boat commenced
to settle and Hansen's most desperate ef-
forts failed to stop the influx of water.
In despair he grasped the oars and snatch
ing a flour sack used for carrying his
game commenced to tie them together as
a float to assist him ashore.
Quickly finishing this work, he jumped
into the water. deserting the boat, which
sank moment later. Hansen could swim
but little and found the oars an alto
gether inadequate support. His struggles
to keep afioat were rapidly eXhausting
him, and at a critical moment the knot
holding the oars together became united
despair, when he noticed that a portion
of the sack used in tying the oars had
become filled with air. A moment later
he had snatched it up and was holding its
open end toward the breeze, where ii fill
ed with wind. Closing the end with his
hand Hansen used the improvised life
preserver to assist in bearing him up, and
easily remained on the surface Of the wa
ter. The tide and use of his legs gradu
ally propelled him toward the shore, and
fifteen minutes later the drifting man was
on dry land.

BALTIMORE, Dec. 22.-The failure of

that one-half Of the capital stock Of

loans made on paper without sufficient
collateral. Under the national banking
laws the stockholders are responsible for

Acting under this authority the direct

TO consider proposition TO increase the
capital stock from 5000, 900 to $500 600.
The Economy Savings Bank, which con-
ducts it's business in the basement of the
American National Bank building. and
whose directorate is largely drawn from
the latter's stockholders, also failed to
open fits doors this morning.
The directors held a meeting OF several
hours duration about noon. At its con-
cluslon D. L. Brinton, of the directorate,
made the following statement:
Owing to the fact that our cash funds
are deposited In the American National
Bank, we have been compelled to suspend
payment. We expect as soon as its affairs
are Strengthened out to pay our depos-
itors in full, and hope that they will only
suffer a slight inconvenience from a pos
sible shortness of Christmas money

suspension would be forced, nor how the
suspension would affect the savings tank

FOUR MURDERS REPORTED.
A Number of Bloody Crimes Commit
ted in South Carolina

COLUMBIA, s. c., Dec. 22.-Of four
murders reported today, the most sensa-
sional is the killing of Agner Fielder at
Pregnalrs last night at midnight. Fielder
went by train with party OF seven from
St. Georges to a dance at Pregnalls
Although definite statements are unob-
tainable, it seems the visitors did not
conduct themselves properly. The party
were on their way to the depot to take
a midnight train home, and were firing
pistols. When opposite the house of p.
Langford guns we're fired from the
dwelling. Fielder was missed, and on
search being made, he was found on the
ground dead, shot through the neck.
Near Winnsboro last night S. p. Mar
tin, a farmer, was assassinated. Hearing
his dogs barking furiously, he went 20 the
door. and as he opened it he was shot
in the body.

negro boy aged sixteen walked up to Ed

is given for the murder

Jones. A constable went to arrest him.
George Washington Jones cuffed the con-
stable and sent him home. The constable
reported and resigned and bigger con-
stable was sent. George Washington Jones
had more of job cutting this second ennis
sary. but the cutting was administered.
The high sheriff of the county was noti-
fed. He sent one of his deputies. The
deputy had rough and tumble with the
recalcitrant George George licked him.
This matter was reported to the sheriff
and he came himself and brought several
deputies. One Of the deputies located
GeGrge. This deputy had preceded the rest
and was alone. He lacked discretion. He
should have called his fellows and planned
mass attack on the outlaw But he
tackled Jones single handed. He explained
to the Terror of the Woods that others
were right at hand and that he might as
well give up But Jones made at him like
a wild bull. and besides backing his eyes
and jarring him very much, indeed. tore
about all the clothes off the officer. When
the sheriff came up the deputy was in
very bad shape, indeed, and looked as
though he had been out in the line gale.
a descent was made in force on the out
laws house but he had escaped to the
woods. He has been there ever since
Jones' house is near the edge of the forest
and so he is able TO make occasional visits
TO his abode. On these trips he gets more
food, and his wife posts him upon the
latest developments in his case. A few
days ago the officers got tip that he was
at his house and they hurried around that
way
Mrs. Jones is a pretty good outlaws
wife. She met the officers at the door
She carried an axe and had a healthy
looking bulldog by her side The sherffs
could not have entered the house without
being very iHppite to the woman and
the bulldog. And the bulldog looked as
though he would have resented Intrusion.
The officers decided that they would make
no muss at that time and so they re
tired
At another fine the officers were in the
house while Jones was upstairs. but he
talked to them so terriically that they
didn't venture up. They wanted no seri-
GUS trouble with Mr. Jones' They could,
of course have had a pitched battle, and
might have been able to overcome him
by brute force. But that might have
meant damage to one side or the other.
The officers prefer to catch the Terror of
the Woods by craft
While the officers were in the house the
outlaw leaped from one of the upper win
dows and ran for the shelter of tho woods
The man might have been shot. but the
officers don't like to hurt Mr.. Jones, who
isn't such a bad sort of man outside of
his cutlaw habits. No one down that way
wants to see him killed. They Just want
him locked up until the crops are sold and
the hens sent to market.
Jones has cave in the woods and stays
there part Of the time. He also lodges
around from one logging camp to another.
