SENSATIONAL STORY
Sent Out From st. Louis Was
Quickly Exploded.

Quickly Exploded.
st. Louis, Mo-, Sept. "a. st. Louis
was treated to sensation for few
hours to-day, but it was quickly ex-
ploded. Edward Saftig, under arrest
for petit larceny, told Chief of Detec-
tives Desmond that he was one of
three men who conspired to kill Presi-
dent Mckinley in Buffalo, and that il
was he who tied the handkerchief
about the hand of Czolgosz. Saftig
said the third man was Frank Harrl-
gan, an anarchist lie had known in the
East, and told circumstantial story
of the plot and details.
The story was published by the after
noon papers and telegraphed all over
the country. Local people soon turned
up who demonstrated that Saftig was
in st. Louis when the President was
assassinaJed. The handkerchief
Czolgsoz wore was not tied, but sim.
ply wrapped around his hand Har-
rigan is unknown in places mentioned
by Saftig. Negative development
came SO fast that the story was with
drawn from the late editions Of the
afternoon papers and the impression
prevails that Saftig's brain has beer
affected as the result of fall from {
train at Carlisle, ILL.,, last August.

SENSATIONAL
SHOOTING.
SeweII Mcknight, a WeII-Known
White Man, Kills a Negro,
Near Isoms, Whom Mrs. Mcknight
Confesses to be the Father of
Her Child.

A sensational killing took place Wed
u9seday at the saw-mill of Mcknight
q Sparkman located several miles
from Isom, in the edge of Lewis county.
From reports received in Columbia,
and from conversations over the tele-
phone with reliable parties, the follow.
ing very shocking details were OBJ
tanned.
Sewell Mcknight one Of the pro
prietors of the sawmill is a we'll
known and highly esteemed white
man who lives on the headquarters OF
Cathey's Creek, in Lewis county, foul
or five miles from Isom, this county.
He is married, and has one child. A
negro by the name of Albert Wither-
spoon has been living with Mr.. Nc.
Knight for several years, being EN-
ployed at the saw-mill as teamster.
Two weeks ago Mrs. Mcknight gave
birth to another child, which, from
appearances, betokened negro blood il
its veins, and, within the past few days
Mrs. Mcknight confessed to her hus
band and others that such was the
case, and said that the negro Wither
spoon was the child's father. Sht
also made the statement that the negro
had forced her, and afterwards made
threats against her in order to maxi
her keep the affair secret.
Yesterday Mr.. Mcknight procured
a shotgun, went to the saw-mil
where Witherspoon was working, ant
blew his brains out.
Mr.. Mcknight has always stood higl
among his neighbors and his friend
are greatly shocked over the revoltin!
affair. So far as known, no warran
has been taken out against him by tn

Wounded.


Nashville, Sept. 26.-Herbert Bush
Spain, son of ex-Criminal Court Clerk
A. j. Spain, was fatally wounded yes
terday shortly after noon while NOW
ing hay ON his fathers farm in the
Eighteenth district. Young Spain had
a shotgun on the machine and it &C

ana there were no witnesses. After
being so terribly wounded he left the
machine and started to the house.
The place where the accident occurred
was about 400 yards from the house,
and he had gone about half the dis
lance when exhaustion from the los:
of blood caused him TO fall to the
ground. The wounded man shouted
for assistance. and his cries wer.
heard by his mother and father who
FASTENED to his side. They found
their sun lying near the greenhouse
in the large yard. and when they
reached him he told them that he hac
shot himself. He died about So'elock

CROP REPORT.
The Frosts on the 18th and 10th Did
Little Injury.

Nashville, Sept 25.-The weekly
crop report for the State says:
During the early part of the week
cloudy weather prevailed, with heavy
rains on the 10th and 18th, which not
only hindered the work of blowing for
the fall seedlings, but damaged consid-
enable quantities of hay and fodder
which had been cut but still remained
in the fields incurred The weather
was also unfavorable for cutting and
curing tobacco and this work was also
greatly hindered These rains were
followed by fair and cool weather with
frost on the 18th and 18th, which,
however, did little or no injury. The
latter part of the week was altogether
favorable for farm work and rapid
progress was made in all departments
About one-half the tobacco crop has
been cut and is in process of curing
the crop is very fine, but during the
past two or three weeks worms have
developed in great numbers, and have
wrought considerable injury to the
standing portion of the crop. Cotton
picking has kept pretty well up with
the opening, which has been rather
slow, owing TO abnormal stalk growth
a heavy top crop is developing which
can scarcely reach maturity; much loss
is sustained by the effects of the heavy
rains and winds. beating out the
staple and causing rotting of the boil,
and rust. The work of cutting COIN
for winter forage and for ensilage has
progressed favorably; late corn is in
good condition and progress to wards
maturity. A considerable quantity Of
crab grass and peavine hay was saved
during the last days of the week
peas have gone too much to vine to
the detriment of the fruit; the same
may be said of sweet potatoes. The
making of sorghum syrup is still ii
progress. In some sections winter
apples are reported plentiful and of so
quallty. Flowing and preparing fol-
the fall seedlings are in full progress,
and sowing winter oats and wheat
is well advanced largely increased
acreage in wheat is contemplated Tur
nips are in full growth; pastures are
fine, and late garden products are II
good condition.
