lose all sympathy with strikes when they
are carried on to the injury of people

MRS. AMELIA TANKE PLEADS GUILTY.
FRANK TANKE sENTENcEDTo AFTER
NINETY DAYS RESPITE.
B This celebrated murder case came to
an abrupt end on Friday last when court
convened at Henderson for the trial Of
Mrs. Tanke. by her confession to MUIR
der in the Second degree. Court con-
vened at the specified time and Mrs.
Tanke was allowed to make an oral
statement, confessing her guilt. She ex-
onerated Frank Tanke and took all the.
blame. She said that she was thirty
four years old and had been married to-
John Wellner about nine years previous
to the tragedy. On the evening Of the
murder she was on load of hay with
her husband and assisted him IN unload
ing. She pitched hay, and as she was i'll
and could not work fast enough, hot
words followed. Then.she began to cry
and returned to the house, and he went
latter another load of hay.
She then did the chores, and he scold-
ed and abused her for not working more
| rapidly and said that the work must be
done, and he could not afford to hire q
girl to assist her. She began to cry and
he told her to shut up. Her little daugh-
ter asked her If she had been abused
again and her husband turned on her and
told her to keep quiet. She then pre-
pared supper, and Wellner afterwards
read newspaper and she kindled fire
in the sleeping apartment. .=.
Wellner came in and told her il she
did not quit crying he would chastise
her. Then she became alarmed, and
finding his revolver, hid it in. the barn,
bringing back some wood, after which
she put the children to bed. He con-
tinued talking about getting no girl and
she said she would go to her mothers
home. He then said if she tried thar he
would break her neck. She replied that
she could not live that way and must go
away. He then said that she must go
to bed at once or he would break her
neck. She complied, but continued to
cry and he stormed and raved and she
ran towards the barn, but he caught her
half way and threw her on the ground
and asked her where she was going and

A THRILLING RESCUE.
Man, who Tainted on Scafold Near

stamp

In full view of nearly one thousand
people Acting Sergeant of Police Bendt
yesterday afternoon climbed out Of
small opening in the steeple of st
Matthew's German Lutheran church to
n perilous position on the spire and res.
cTed from certain death Thomas Peo-
pies, a colored painter. 1t was heroic
deed and one of the most daring feats
ir the annals of the Charleston police
department.
Shortly before o'clock Thomas
Walker. white. and Peoples, were sta
ti0red on swinging scaffolds. some six
feet apart, busily engaged in painting
the steeple. Walker happened to glance
ir the direction of his fellow workman,
when he saw his swoon away and fall
aStride the plank on which he had just
been standing. In a moment the negro
would have lost his balance and gone
tumbling to the pavement below. With
a bold leap. more than one hundred
feet in midair, Walker covered the dis.
tance between the two scanolds and
landed at Peoples side. This in itself
was a brave act. He grasped the ne.
gro painter about the body just as he
was falling to he earth and held him
fast. Walker yelled loudly to the crowG
below for help. In a few moments Az
enormous throng had gathered in the
street
Presently Acting Sergeant Bendt.
wi h several policemen, hurried out OF
tie station house just across the street
Rendt rushed into the church closely
followed by his companions. In less
than 4 minute the big figure Of the
former Texas ca tie puncher protruded
through a narrow aperture near the
top of the spire. He held a rope in his
right hand. Clinging desperately TO the
side Of the steeple-no one knows how
ard the hundreds OF spectators below
expec ing every second to see the brave
officer lose his grip and come plunging
to destruction. Bendt Contrived to
reach a point where ne could lower the
rope to Walker. who was almost ex-
bausted by this time. The white man
fas ened the rope about the senseless
form of the negro. and then. his hands
being free. he lowered the scarfold safe
lv 10 the ground. Peoples was soon re-
vived.
When Bendt appeared among the
c. owd again. wiping the perspiration
flcm his bronzed for ehead. he was
chcered to the echo by the hundreds
Of appreciative on-lookers
