A BAD BLUNDER
Guest at White Stone Was Much nlOrti-
fled BY Having Her Luggage
Held UP and Searched.

Spartanburg, August 21.-The
jewels and valuables stolen from
White Stone Springs continue an un
solved mystery.
Recently guest from Chicago,
stopping at the hote,, for several DAYS,
decided to go to Glenn Springs. She
conld not secure accommodations
there suited to her, owing to tho
crowds of people at that place. She
returned to White Stone, and in q
hurried manner decided to leave the
hotel and go to the mountains. She
was in i'll health.
For few days articles of jewelry
we're missing from number of rooms
on the south side, second floor, and
suspicion rested on her among some
of the hotel people.
She had her Trunks ready for de
parting, when an agent of Proprie
tor Harris approached her and advised
her to stay, relating the robbery in
cidents.
She was bent on going, and offered
to pay the expenses of the agent to
this city where he could examine
her trunks and grip. This was set
tied on and upon her arrival here a
thorough search, instituted subse
quent to securing her written consent
| thereto, WAS entered into.
The resnlt revealed the fact that
she had not one of the missing articles
in her possession She is very much
mortified and hurt at the treatment
she received and proposes to stay
here until the entire matter is set
tied.
She is member of the Illinoi.

ber of the Chicago chapter D. A r.

ky turned and, throwing the sack
down, lifted his bands above his
head and begged Green not to shoot
him.
Surasky then saw Green reloading
his gun, and 30 the peddler ran into
the house, where Mrs Green was, and
begged her not to let her husband
kill him. 1t is said that Mrs Green
pleaded for tho life Of the Jew, but
Green rushed into the house after
him.
Surasky held Mrs Green between
himself and his assailant; and then
Green is said to have told his wife
that if she didn't get out of the way
he would shoot her. Surasky then
tried to run away, but Green shot
him twice in the back and brought
him to the ground, just outside of
the door.
The gunshots did not kill him, and
Green then got an axe and chopped
him until life was extinct He then
loaded the body on his victim g
wagon aud hid it in the woods, as
before reported.
The above story of the crime is
said to have been received direct
from relative of Lee Green and is
thought to be authentic.
1t is said that George Toole is not
criminally connected with the crime,
as was at first thought, but it is under
stood that he arrived at Green's house
just rs the killing occurred and he
was afraid to tell of it. Toole is now
out of Jail on $500 bail and it is
thought that he may be able to
"prove out" as he said.
The party who went with Sheriff
Alderman from here and assisted in
capturing Green consisted of Messrs.
Wesley Royal, Monroe Vernon. Jim
Vernon, w. T. Mccullough, Henry
Howard, l.. Craig, Paul Glover, T..
D. Harmon and John Kennedy. The

Taken With Cramps,

VIM. Kromse, a member of the bridge
gang working near Littleport was taken
suddenly i'll Thursday night with cramps
and kind of cholera. His case was so
severe that he had to have the members
of the crew wait upon him and Mr.
Clifford was called and consulted. He
told them he had a medicine in the form
of Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy that he thought
would help him out and accordingly
several doses were administered with
the result that the fellow was able to
be around next day. The incident
speaks quite highly of Mr.. Gifford's
medicines. Elkadcr, Iowa, Agnus.

AMERICAN BOAT TAKES FIRST.
The Reliance Defeats the Shamrock III on
Saturday-LiptOn Still Has
Great Hope.

New York, August 22.-In splen-
did twelve to fifteen knot breeze over
q windward and leeward course of
thirty miles the gallant sloop Reli
anoe to day beat Shamrock III in
commanding style by exactly nine
minutes, actual time, or seven min
utes and three seconds after deduct
ing the one minute and fifty seven
seconds, which the defender comedies
to Sir Thomas Lipton's third chal,
lenger on account Of her sailing
plan as at present measured.
1t was a royal water fight for the
ancient trophy which carries with it
the yachting supremacy of the world,
and by Il strange coincidence the
first victory in the cup series OF 1903
occurred on the fifty second annl-
versary of the day on which the old
schooner America captured it in her
famous race around the Isle of Wight.
The reliance beat the British boat
three minutes and twenty four sec
in the thresh to windwsrd, and five
minutes and thirty. six seconds IN the
run down the wind
THE NAUTICAL sIJARps
who had already made up their minds
on Thursday that the Reliance could
take the measure Of the challenger
in any kind of weather, regard to
days test as conclusive, although
they hardly anticipated 40 overwhel
ming victory. The race even
dampened the ardor of Sir Thomas
who insisted, after Thursdays huke
that his confidence in the beautiful
craft designed by Fife was greater
than ever. Still, like true sports
man, he does not acknowledge defeat
and hopes for better luck next time
The single criticism he and biz
friends make of to. days race is that
the only shift of the wind which oc
Cured was to the advantage of tn,
defending yacht. AS this shift O
the wind occurred on the windwarC
beat, even granting that it accountef
for kellance's lead at the turn, the
time the defender gained on the rur
home was more than ample to have
given her the race It must be con
ceded, however, that the Shamrocl
showed herself wonderful boat il
beating to windward; perhaps th'
ablest craft in this respect ever sen
across the western ocean on cul
hunting expedition.
