La Junta was visited by pro
life rainfall late Thursday after
noon, which soaked up the parch.
ed and thirsty earth in great shape.
There has been less water in the
river this season than for any per-
iod in the history OF irrigation in
the Arkansas Valley, and this week
witnessed the greatest shortage
this season. The rain, therefore,
was like the visitation of provi-
dence IN time of great distress.

Killed By Sharkey.
Coroner's Jury Says Banker Fish
Was Killed by Blow From
Private Detective.

New York Sept. 22.-Coro-
ner Jackson today began an In
quest into the cause of the death
of Banker Nicholas Fish. The
police have a long list of witt
nesses to prove Detective Shar-
keys guilt. The family believes
that in TIE disappearance of the
check over which the quarrel be-
tween Fish and Sharkey took
place, there is evidence of plot
to rob the banker.
The coroner's jury this af .er-
noon rendered the veruict that
Banker Nicholas Fish was killed
by a blow struck by Thomas
Sharkey. The latter is held for
the grand jury on a bail bond cf
$4,000.

SlanderS This State
Resolutions Adopted BY A Labor
Union In Maine.

AS a sample of the malicious
falsehoods circulated in the North
about child labor in this state,
secretary of state today received
a copy of some resolutions adopted
at Portland, Mo-. over 1.5OO
miles away, concerning the work
ing of children in mills.
The resolution was unanimous
ly adopted by the Central Labor
union of that city and copy of
them was ordered sent to the
legislatures of South Carolina
and Alabama. The first part of
the resolutions refers particularly
to Alabama and is, comparatively
speaking, mild. South Carolina,
however, is severely denounced
for permitting 100000 children
half starved, too spirltless to laugh
and too dead to weep to work
in the mills. The paper goes on to
say that the people of this state
should be ashamed to permit
themselves to be SO controlled by
the capitalists, and winds up with
the hint that the national govern
ment may take u hand in the mat
ter.
AS a matter of fact, out of
26, 900 employees in the cotton
mills only about 600 are children;
and as a recent article published
in The Record taken from The
Tradesman, a Southern industrial
magazine, states, this number
will be much reduced when the
schools open.
The resolutions referred to
above have been adopted IN one or
two Massachusetts towns, where
the competition of Southern mills
is keenly felt, and it is not likely
the Southern operatives will take
kindly to this interference from
the North. Columbia Record.

VIM. Hooper Young
Has Been Arrested.
The Alleged Murdered of Mrs.
Pulitzer Identified The Accused
Murderer Trunk Filled
With Blood Stained
Articles.

Derby, Conn, Sept. %. VIM.
Hooper Young, for whom The
police of New York have been
searching, in connection with the
murder of Mrs. Auna Nelson
Pulitzer, has been found, and is
also said to have made a confess
ion regarding the killing of Mrs.
Pulitzer.
In the guisc of tramp, he had
been W. ndering about the country
for several days, when he was ar
rested on suspicion last evening
by the Derby police. Although
his description corresponded
closely with that seat out by the
New York officers, the prisoner
at first stoutly denied any con-
nection with thu Murder, and
even when he was confronted
with n man who was formerly a
fellow workman, he still denied
his identity. But this evening,
upon the arrival of man with
whom he was intimately acquaint,
ed, the prisoner acknowledged
that be is VIM. Hooper Young.
New York, Sept. 90. When
the trunk of William Hooper
Young was opened at police head>
quarters today, there were found
in it a sword. shaped stiletto with
a blade eight inches long and an
ivory handle four inches long;
the half dozen mixed cakes which
the woman left her apartments to
buy; her set of false teeth with
one tooth missing; her skirts and
undercIothing; switch of light
colored hair; Il pair of gloves:
the missing bedclothing from
loung's apartments; Youns's
trousers, coat, vest, and under
shirts; some red pepper; and a
newspaper clipping of Sept. 10.
AS soon as the lid of the trunk
was lifted, 1t could be seen that
the inside of the receptacle was
covered with blood. The knife
or stiletto was about the first
thing lifted out. The blade was
covered with blood it's whole
length. After that each article of
slothing was lifted out and care
fully examined. The woman's
skirts, underclothes, a couple of
handkercAiefs and several small
pieces of rags were found to be
saturated with blood, as was the
bedclothing from Young's room
Young's trousers, which showed
blood stains, were wet. The
mans undershirt was also cover
ed with blood stains.

WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER "a, 1902.
The Negro, Supposed to be Ms,
Clark's Assailant, Captured
In Aiken.

Some time ago Miss Clark
was brutally assaulted in Aiken
county by a negro. The people
were greatly aroused and the coun-
try was secured at the time, but
the brute escaped. Nothing fur
ther was heard of the matter until
yesterday morning, when the gov
ernor received the following from
the sheriff of Aiken county:
Gov. M. B. McSweeney.
Have negro in Jail who it is
claimed assaulted Miss Clark in
mill district. Imminent danger
Of being lynehed. Will bring
him to Columbia today for safe
keeping unless you telegraph con-
trsrY. Owen Alderman.
Gov. McSweeney immediately
ordered the sheriff by telegraph
to bring the negro here to the
penitentiary and to see that he
was protected at all hazards.
Deputy Sheriffs p. B. Glover
and E. w. Lamar brought the
prisoner, Sam Williams, to the
city yesterday afternoon.
Mr.. Glover, when seen last
night by a reporter, said that
Sheriff Alderman considered it
very necessary that the prisoner
be placed in the penitentiary as
there had been much talk of lynch
ing on the streets of Aiken since
Tuesday last when Williams was
captured and jailed in that city.
The Vaucluse men were thorough.
ly enraged by the crime and seem
ed determined to have revenge.
The story of the crime is we'll
remem bered. Some time ago a
negro broke into the kitchen of a
house occupied by Miss Clark
in Vaucluse and assaulted her.
She furnished an accurate descrip-
tion of tho man and he was iden-
ti6ed by many as Sam Williams,
= stran go negro, who had been
loafing around tho town for some
time. A posse was organized and
the search kept up for some days,
but IN vain.
About two weeks after this
crime three negroes again broke
into Miss Clark's home and de.
manded supper. She was terri.
fed, especially as she thought she
recognized her assailant as one of
the party. On the pretext of OBJ
taining some sugar, she slipped
into another room and out to a
neighborlng house and gave the
alarm. No trace Of the negroes
was. however, ever discovered.
Last Tuesday Williams, the
man answering to the description
given by Miss Clark was found in
an unoecupied house which he had
broken into near Vaucluse. He
was taken by surprise and cap
tured without effort.
After being taken to Aiken as
stated above he remained there
until yesterday when he was
brought to Columbia.
Williams is a young negro
about 21 years old, black as the
ace of spades and rather tall.
When captured he was dressed in
blue overalls, red shirt and a
pair of odd shoes, the same cos
tune he was described as wearing
whom tho erin g was committed.
The odd shoes were particularly
noticed as these peculiar tracks
were found outside of Miss Clark s
house the morning after.
The prisoner stoutly denies his
