is UNDER ARREST
D. G. Robinson Charged With
Forging Signature.
Was Stopping at a Minneapolis Hotel
Uuder an Assumed Name.---Hear-
ing Saturday.

D. G.. Robinson, district agent Of
the New York Life Insurance Co., is
under arrest on the charge of forgery,
preferred by Mrs Catherine Randall
of West Mankato The arrest was
made at II a. m. Wednesday, at Min
neapolis, by Deputy Sheriff Geo.
Atchison, after long search. Rob-
inson was finally located at the Hotel
Heiser, where he had registered as
"T. D. Smith, LIE Sueur." He had
room 223, and Mr.. Atchison waited
for three and half hours at the foot
of the elevator for him to come down,
and he finally made his appearance,
having had no breakfast and looking
as though he had been up a good share
of the night. Mr.. Atchison told Rob
inson that he wanted him, and the
latter replied. 81 know it. - Robinson
was placed in the Jail and was
brought to Mankato on the s p N.
train Tuesday night and lodged in the
county Jail.
Robinson was out of money when
arrested and borrowed a dollar from
Mr.. Atchison to send telegram. He
also owed four dollars at the hotel,
which Mr.. Atchison paid in order to
get the satchel. The proprietor of the
hotel was much incensed when he
learned that Robinson had not regis
tered his right name. Robinson had
borrowed $50 of young man named
Hays Monday, but did not have any of
this money left. He explained to Mr..
Atchison that he had put it where
there was urgent call.
The warrant upon which Mr.. Rob-
inson was arrested was issued June
18th. and charges that on July Sd,
1901, he gave Mrs. Randall note for
$780,, payable in one year, and bear
ing eight per cent interest. 1t was
signed by himself and D. D. Brewer.
The complaint further alleges that
the name Of D. D. Brewer was forged
tO Uu0 uOIo.
Mr.. Brewer is retired farmer and
is we'll off He is distant relative
by marriage of Mr.. Robinson, and
has signed one or more notes with
him. Mrs. Randall did not suspect
that anything was wrong with her
note until few days ago. when she
exhibited it to President Hoerr of the
National Citizens bank, who pro-
nounced Mr.. Brewers signature a
forgery. Mrs. Randall then saw Mr..
Brewer and learned from him that he
had not signed the note. She consulted
County Attorney Wilson and procured
the warrant for Robinson's arrest.
Some one clipped it off" to Rob-
inson that there was warrant out
for his arrest, and he was thus enabled
to evade the officials for several days.
Mr.. Atchison put in some hard work
trying to locate Robinson in Mime
apolis, but failed. Robinson telephon-
ed to County Attorney Wilson Monday
evening and asked whether there was
warrant out for him, and saying
that he expected to return to Mankato
Tuesday night or Wednesday morn
ing. Mr.. Wilson did not give him the
desired information, but investigation
showed that he had telephoned from
the Heiser. Mr. Atchison returned
from Minneapolis that night, and was
chargined to learn that his man had
talked with the county attorney,
while he had been unable to locate

Two Houses Entered by Them
Last Night.
A Little Money and a Hat StoIen.---
No Clue is Left Behind BY the
lntruders.

The busy burglar was abroad Tues
day. but, did not get much for his
trouble.
Mrs. Nettie M. Shafer's residence,
at 301 Poplar street, was entered. The
burglar removed screen fiom the
parlor window and got in, after which
he invaded the bedroom occupied by
Elmer Glenn, an employe of the Free
Press job department. Mr.. Glenn s
trousers were carried to the parlor,
where about 81 was extracted from
them. His hat, dark colored one,
was also taken. Nothing else in the
house was touched, and the intruder
replaced the screen after leaving the
house, but not in a secure manner.
Another boarder in the house had had
a check for $50 cashed at store in the
evening, and it is suspected that the
thief saw this and followed him home
On entering the house, this gentleman
first entered Mr.. Glenn's room, and
the burglar may have noticed this
No noise was heard in the house dur
ing the night.
Alex Thompson residence, at 1879
Minnesota street, was entered by a
burglar during the night, and his SONS
were losers of a trifiing amount
Fifty-one cents and a pocket piece
was taken from the pockets of f. j..
Thompson's trousers, and 80 cents
from his brother, Clayton's, pockets.
Entrance was gained by removing
the screen to the front window, and
the burglar took the clothing of the
young men to the sitting room, where
he searched the pockets and rolled up
the clothing. The burglary was not
discovered until morning.
Oscar Carlson, living on Van Bruni
street, reported to the police Tues
day that someone was attempting
to get into the house. He had heard
someone walking over the tin roof al
the back of his house.

Destruction OF Birds.

One of the first lessons impressed
on children-at leaStit used to be So
was that they ought not to kill the
harmless songsterS nor rob their nests.
There IS a good deal of juvenile litera
ture having this worthy lesson in
view. 1t is a lesson that cannot be
too deeply impressed upon the child
mind. Cruelty to birds, or to any
thing that has life, debases the youth
ful disposition and makes it hard and
callous to suffering; encourages selfish
ness and meannesS and heartlessness:
destroys the sentiment Of kindliness
and sympathy. Who can teach these
lesson better than the mothers and
sisters and teachers of children? If
they do not nobody will. 1t means a
great deal whether they do or not.
The small boy that infiicts needless
pain and death upon pretty and in
nocent bird may thus SOW the seed OF
murder in his own heart that may
develope into the killing Of human
being. But we do not intend to
preach or even to moraliZe further
than to say that a dead bird on a
woman's hat makes a very incongruous
combination-a bird that has been
killed to deck the head Of that portion
of humanity characterized by sweet
ness and kindness and sympathy. Isn't
it an anomaly that the strong band
of the law must be invoked to protect
the birds from the women? Yet it is SC.
Before her vanity many of the pref
tiest birds are disappearing from the
face Of the earth-butchered to make
woman look prettier. So great is
the destruction that in some states,
notably in Illinois, stringentlaWs have
heen adopted to prevent the eXter'
mination of the birds, and milliners are
subject to prosecution if they sell the
dead birds or have them in thelI
possession. Whatsort of an impression
Wuuld woman with a dead bird on
her hat make in talking to a small!
boy about the cruelty and wrong OF
killing the pretty songSters and roo'
bine their nests? It isvery noticeable
by lovers of birds that many OF the
best Songsters are disappearing from
this part of the country. Some attrl
butte this fact to the presence OF the
pestiferous English sparrow. But the
small boy and his sling-shot and, back
of him. the woman with bird in hel
hat have had something to do with it.
The above article, which we clip from
the Newberry Observer, we commend
to our readers regardless Of age or sex
but should be read spe ;ially by the
ladies and the boys.

Homicide in Aucusta.

A special from Augusta says COM
ment on one homicide had not sub
sided before Augusta was stirred by
another. Sunday night talk of the
Norris Williams affair has. given place
to discussion of the shooting OF Joseph
". rrommerhau5er, Of SummerMle,
cousin of Police Officer TrommerVile,
suburb OF Augusta. For several days
Trommerhauser has been drinking and
Sunday afternoon fired at a negro mo-
man with rife. Constable Haekea,
learning that he was at home, went to
arrest him. TrommerhauSeIW was Sit
ting by an open window, and saw the
officer approaching, and as he neared
the house Trommernauser reached for
his rifle and leyeled it at the officer.
Hackel, seeing the rife, quickly drew
his revolver and fired through the win
dow al Trommerhauser, the bullet
striking the latter at the base OF the
chin, passing up through the brain,
killing him instantaneously. Hackel
surrendered to county detectives and+
was to be given preliminary Monday.
Trommerhauser was generally very
quiet and peaceful except when drink
ing, when he was unruly and fusSy.

Make Comrades Of Them.

Let there be the closest possible
comradeship between parents and
children. Let it never, for an hour,
cease. Never give your young people
any reason for seeking sympathy in
confdants outside the home circle. Re-
call your own childhood and youth.
Enter into the lives of your children
heartily. Let them have the infOrma-
ti0n they will surely seek somewhere
if not gotten at home. Anticipate
their natural curiosity by discreet re-
yelations from time to time. Teach
them modesty and purity and how to
avoid evil companions. If they have
an especial bent in any direction
sympathize with it and encourage it.
Nature is the best guide toward sue
cessful career in life. Try to see
things from their standpoint. The
more you do this the more will they
learn to look at things from your own
standpoint of greater knowledge and
experience. Hold their confidence as
a priceless treasure to you and to
them. Let nothing separate you from
their loving trustfulnesS, let nothing
mar the beauty OF the closest possible
intimacy.

occupies high place today in politics
for his purity Of motives. sincerity OF
purpose and independence of action.
Mr.. Gunter. the son of a Confederate
veteran, was born and reared in the
town Of Batesburg, in Lexington coun-
ty. and has spent his life cooperating
with his fellow countrymen in labor
ing for the welfare OF his native State.
After completing his high school course
under such prominent men, among
others, as E. II. Folk, Esq, now sue
cessful attorney OF Edgeiield, and DR..
4. J. S. Thomas. the finished editor OF
the Baptist Courier. he entered the
South Carolina College and studied
law under that powerful founder Of
law. DR.. Joseph Daniel Pope. gradual
ing with highest honors.
After being admitted to the bar he
began the practice of his profession
and soon his ability as a lawyer was
recognized by those who came in legal
contact with him, for soon Attorney
General Barber appointed him TO the
position Of Assistant Attorney Gener-
al. which position he held to the end
OF the term. When Hon. G. Duncan
Bcllinger came into Office he realized
that Mr.. Gunter was the right man in
the right place, and he retained him in
his same position. to which he was
reappointed by General Bellinger. MAX
ing three times that his honesty. abili-
ty and experience as a lawyer and his
integrity aS citizen has been recOg-
niZed bv the heads of the legal depart
ment OF the State.
AS Attorney Genera: Mr.. Gunter has
made a record in keeping with all other
positions he has ever held. Since act
ing in that capacity Mr.. Gunter has
argued on behalf of the State more
than half d hundred cases before the
Supreme Court. many OF them inyolE
ing the most intricate and puzzllng
question of law. and he has been success
ful in eighty per cent. OF the cases.
The records show that during this pc
riod he has appeared before the high
est tribunal of the State in about one
hundred cases. motions. etc, with d
record surpassed by no other practiti-
onerin the Sratc.
The most important duty Imposed
upon the Oilcc OF Attorney NcNerdl IS
that Of advising public officials Every
written opinion given by Mr.. Gunter
has been published in the annual re-
ports of the Attorney General for the
information. inspection and criticism
of the public. Some of these opinions
have involved questions Of vital inter-
est to the public. and in no instance
has a single opinion rendered by Mr..
Gunter been reversed by the courts, but
sustained absolutely. Among those
now recalled was the famous school
chart opinion. whereby in an opinion
to the State Superintendent of Educa-

certificates issued for school charts
were illegal. thereby saving TO the free

About Drinking Water.

The supply Of drinking water for
the family should be tested at least
once a year, says the Health Magazine.
Water that at one time is pure and
wholesome may become too impure
for use, yet it may be without color
and have no odor or taste to show its
dangerous qualities. a simple test OF
drinking water is the Meisch sewerage
test. Fill a clean pint bottle three
quarters full of the water to be tested,
and dissolve in it half teaspoonful OF
granulated sugar. Cork it and set it
in warm place for two days. If du-
ring this time it becomes cloudy or
milky, it is unfit for domestic use. Ii
it remains perfectly clear it is prob
ably safe. BE careful that the bottle
is absolutely as clean as you can make
it. and the sugar pure. The second
test is also a simple one. Obtain from
u trustworthy druggist about . cents
worth of saturated solution Of perman-
ganate of potassium. Add about i've
drops of this to a pint bottle OF water
This will turn the water beautiful
rose purple: If there is any consider
able amount of organic matters. the
the color will give place in the course
of few hours to more or less dirty
reddish-brown. If the color Of the
water in the bottle remains for twelve
hours unclaimed from the rose purple
it assumed when the permaganate Of
potassium was first added, it may be
considered free from organic contami-
nation.

the house on Mr.. n. H: Evans place,
several miles from that town, had been
destroyed by fire. Upon investigation
it was found that Mr.. Butler kinard,
the only occupant, had been burned
up in the house. Several gentlemen
from Newberry went out with the

Ruraors are atloat to the effect that
the old man was robbed and murdered
and the house burned. Conflicting
stories were told by the hands on the:

a patient in the county hospital, has
finally ceased beating. All action OF
the respiratory organs OF the woman
had ceased and the physicians in at

4 Sac Story.

Aspecial to The State from Smoaks.
in Colleton county, On Friday last gave
this information: The body OF an
unknown white man was found by
some negroes in secluded spot near
this place Tuesday evening late: He
had been dead for some time and. was
not recognizable, having been very
badly disfgured by buzzards, and it
was by means of these that he was
found. Magistrate Wilson was noti-
fed and on Wednesday held an in
quest. 1t was learned from the tes-
timony taken, that it was the body OF
a man giving his name as Henry Bears
and who had said he was from Colum-
bia, S. C. He was passing himself as
a preacher, and from conversation held
with him, it was evident that his
mind was unbalanced. DR.. J. NJ.
Strickland held the post mortem ex-
animation, but could find nothing to
show that he had met with violent
death. The finding Of the jury was
that he came to his death from causes
unknown to the jury, but that their
belief was that his death was from
natural causes, as there was no evil
dence of foul play. The community
is very much wrought up over the
CHASTITY find, and an effort will be
made to find ouo more of this man."
The State says Sunday all mystery
surrounding the matter was dissipated
when the grief-stricken mother Of the
victim was seen. She lives here in the
mill district. Henry Bears was rear
ed in Hollow Creek township in
Lexington county. He was 30 years
of age. He was first married about
eight or nine years ago, and lost his
wife and child. Then he married again
and some time ago his second wife left,
him and went to the bad. She is now
somewhere in this city. Her conduct
unbalanced the young mans mind and
he became intensely religious. HeWent
to preaching and preached here for
while. About four weeks ago be left
here announcing his intention to walk
through the State preaching from
door to door. This was what he was
doing in Colleton county when death
came and ended his pitiable career.
He was always Christian and sober,
industrious man, standing well with
all who knew him" 1t is supposed
that the unfortunate man was men
tally unbalanced.

Couit. Likewise .0the|s ill.,
rolvlng questions of. taxation, salaries
Of officers, etc, haye been Invariably
when the question involved
has been tested.
Probably no lawyer iii the State is
more familiar with duties and func-
ions of the various departments OF
State and their relationship to EACH
other. This has been acquired by
study. observation and experience. and
is very essential to the office OF the
legal advisor of the State. This ac-
counts in a great measure for the COM
plete confidence bestowed upon Nr,
Gunter by the various State officers
and the Judiciary.
There IS another unanSwerable red
son why the present Assistant AttOr-
ney General should be entrusted with
tho Office of Attorney General. BY
direction of the General Assembly.
and in pursuance Of the terms OF the
platforms Of the State and national
democracy, the Attorney General has
instituted suits against the continual
tiOn of wealth to mOnopoliZe the neceS-
SlllCo VI illC w SlUSCES IliS liz oiOOo
of the people. Whatever may be the
immediate result of these suits, there
is no question that the efforts already
made have done great deal to stagger
corporate greed and will result in good
by strengthening the laws and encour-
aging tho people and the law makers
to further efforts with a hope for final
triumph. Mr.. Gunter has been active
in the peoples behalf, and as he is
essentially peoples man, being un-
fettered by corporate prejudice, always
arrayed on the side Of the public, with
no obligations to corporate combina-
tions for past favorS. he is well calculat-
ed to carry on the fight to rest rain cor
porate greed and insoience when in
violation of law.
Believing that there is no reason
why the present Assistant Attorney
General should not be promoted. he is
respectfully commended to the Demo
cratic voters Of South Carolina as a
candidate for Attorney General.
