An eleven year old colored boy killed
his father near Thompson, Ca, last
Sunday. Turner and MS wife went to
cnurch Sunday morning and left orders
eith the children who remained at home
not to let the stock get into the corn.
On his return Turner found his COWS

and became so epraged, that he said to
his son: Nov, that you didn't watch
the stock and let it get in the corn, I'm
going to kill you" The boy took it in
dead earnest and when his father laid
down for nap that evening his son
got an axe, walked into the room where
his father was sleeping, and with one
bow split his head open deep enough
to allow his brains to ocze out. Death
was instantaneous.

were seven passengers, including my
self. All were bound for Indian Lake.
The stage entered q thick wood soon
after it left North Greek. The road Was
dark and narrow. The old stage rum
bled along, swaying on the rough road,
uotil it reached the base Of Coon hill,
l should not have known the name Of
the hill had not William Eldridge, the
driver of the six in hand team, told me.
I was or the boz with him from North
Greek.
'The stage slackened up before es-
saying The steep hill and began the as.
cent at a very slow pace. As it neaIed
the hilltop q masked man stepped from
behind an oak tree and placed himself
in the middle of the road. He was
about 25 yards in front Of Us.
CAT first it was impossible to ses his
face, because he had his back toward
the sun, but as We advanced another
yard OF two ne noticed that he wore a
big sombrero, blue flannel shirt, with
sn old red handkerchief srour d the COL

point covsred the lower part of the ban
dts face, and two piercing eyes were
visible through holes in the mask. He
stood still, menacinz US with rife.

elbow. "A tourist, bet you'll he said,
laughing outright, but the stranger
didn't look it.
L" Drop those lines!' Old srsd the

drop what lines? asked Eldridge,
bringing bis whip down with snap on
the backs Of the leaders. What are
you giving Us? he continued, lsug hing
heartily. Get out Of the way or I'll run
over you.
The masked man didn't move an
inch, but raised his gun to his shoulder,

looked as if the highwsyman meant

ANOTHER ACCOUNT.

The strike Of textile operatives was
not settled and affairs are mora chaotic
than ever. The striking employees re-.
turned to work, ovsrsures having been
made through reliable parties. The
operatives were told that they would
not be required to abandon their orgsni-
tion before they decided to 90 back to
work. It appears that these terms we're
not made by the directors in meeting,
although it was stated in the leading 10.
cal papers that the directors, or sons
Of them, were willing for the employees
to come back to WORK. When the op-
eratiVes presented themselves at the
mills Monday morning, each was asked
If be we're member of the anion. Be-
ing informed that no union lsbor was
wanted the striking operatives walked
out.
The Textile Union had meeting and
the members decided to get their back
pay from the mills and to leave the
city at once. 1t remains to be seen
whether or not there will be a general
exodus. The union is said to have a
thous and members. The Palmetto and
Columbia Mills are in DO way affected
and the Capital City but little. The
Olympia, CRANKY and Richland, known
as the Whalsy Mills, are the ones in
which the trouble is felt most. The
whole thing seems to bean,unfortunase
misunderstanding.
