DENT MADE A KICK
BUT SURE TO COME,
Terrell Made a Requisition
Yesterday.
ON GOVERNOR OF CALIFORNIA
Alleged Foreer Tries Habeas Corpus
Proceedings But 1t Failed to Work.
Will Be Held Awaiting Arrival of
Deputy Gatewood There.

In the cool confines of the county
Jail at Redding, Cal. j. I. Dent, the
Americus pianist, sits today, awaiting
the arrival of Deputy Sheriff Dudley
Gatewood, who is going to bring him
back to answer to numerous charges of
forgery committed while in the piano
business in Americas several months
ago
The story of Dents capture at Red
ding, Cal. was told at length in Sun
day 8 Times Recorder, along with that
of his residence in AmerIcus and the
many charges against him.
The Times Recorder also predicted
that Dent would resort to habeas cor
pus proceedings.
And this he did late Saturday eve
nIng, and so successfully did he work
the scheme that he was actually re-
leased from jail, so it is learned here,
but was rearrested at once upon ex.
plicit orders from Sheriff E. L.. Bell,
who also wired at great length the ful
text of charges preferred here against
Dent.
BY request, Governor Terrell, or
yesterday, wired the Governor of Cali
fornia to haYe Dent held pending the
arrival at Sacramento of Deputy Sher-
if Gatewood with requistiion papers
Upon the first statement that Dent
would come back without protest,
Deputy Gatewood was to meet the Cali
fornia sheriff at Ell Paso, Texas, hall
way point. Now, however, that Den
is fighting the proposition to bring hin
back to Georgia, Deputy Gatewood
will have to go IN to Sacramento.
This long trip will consume six days
each way, and Dent will hardly arrive
here in two weeks. But he is coming,
and many trusting ones here who wer,
caught for money and goods are GLAD
of it.

The Wastes of the Body.

Every seven days the blood, muscles
and bones of a man of average size loses
two pounds of wornout tissue. This

their functions, the strength let down,
health gives way, and disease sets up,

stomach and digestive organs to digest
and assimilate all of the wholesome

ABLE AND FIRM The
CHARGE TO JURY,
At Opening of The Session
Monday
JUDGE LITTLEJoHN is CONCISE
But Emphatic in lnstructing The Grand
Jury in its Duty-DweIIs at Length
on Roads and Other Subjects of
Greatest Importance.

Sumter superior court convened yes
terday morning in regular session
with Judge z. A, LIttIejohn presiding,
and Solicitor G 9neral Hooper present
to repl esent the interests of the state
or the criminal side. Little time was
spent in preliminaries, and within
brief period the court was proceeding
with business.
Few jurors failed to respond when
their names were called.
The grand jury, very excellent and
able BODY, organized by electing Mr..
John c. Feagin foreman. The follow
ing named gentlemen constitute the
grand jury,
J. G Fesgin, A. B. Croxtop, L. 8.
Tower, w. W, Dozler, w. L. MoMath,
w. H. Justice, Lee Patton, E. S. Fer
guson, e. A. Stephens, Rufus b. Ross,
w. E. Brown, j. A. Walker. A, A.
Willett, S. G.. Pryor, G. l.. Ansley, A.
S.. Morgan, Georee d. Rodgers,
Thomas A. Graham, B. L. Markett, j.
Graham, John E. French-a total of
twenty-one.
Then came the able charge of the
court to the grand jury.
Judge Littlejohn laid particular
stress upon the wretched condition Of
the county roads, and called upon the
grand jury to investigate conditions
and remedy the evil. His remarks,
while not caustic, were plainspoken
and to the point, evideHcing the inter
est the speaker felt in the Improvement
of the public highways.
Trade is driven from any town
where the roads are bad, and Judge
Littlejohn related instances wherein
farmers of Sumter went to markets il
adjoining counties boasting better
roads.
After a most exhaustive common
upon roads and the duties of grand
juries in having them properly worked
Judge Littlejohn touched upon Other
important matters; particularly th'
investigation of the books of county
officers; the enforcement of the vagran
cy laws, gaming, the illegal sale o
liquor, and other evils.
If the condition of the county poo
farm was as reported, Judge Littlejohl
said, it demanded the immediate at
tention of the grand jury,
Judge Littlejohn was nearly an hour
in making this charge, which was on,
of the most complete and forceful eve
delivered in this courthouse Durin,
the time he held the closest attention
of jurors and spectators, and his word
made fine impress upon all and will
be carefully needed.
Several cases were disposed of dur
ing the day and the court is now dow
to business for the term,

FEARFUL WAS CARRIERS DEATH
Negro Ground Under Wheels of a
Freight Car.

Negro Ground Under Wheels of a
Freight Car.
Intently watching O carload of water
melons OF the Central freight depot
Sunday afternoon, Josh Carter, q coun-
try negro, did not observe an approach
ing train and thereby lost his life, his
body being most horribly mangled by
the car wheels.
The fatal accident occurred near the
old freight depot.
Three cars of fruit had just arrived
from Florida, one containing melons,
one plneapples and the third one to-
matoes. This pleasing spectacle cyl
IDENTIFY fascinated the negro.
The cars were being shifted in the
yard for shipment to Birming ham, and
Carter was knocked down by freight
car during this process. The negro
was rolled under the trucks some dis,
tance ere the car could be stopped and
his rescue effected.
While disemboweled and horribly
mutilated, Carter survived two hours
after the accident and told all about it.
Garter died Sunday night, and Coro.
ner Cheek held an inquest. The YER
dict was that Carter came TO his death
by being run over by freight car il
the Central railroad yards, the jury no
fixing any responsibility, as there
could scarcely be any.
Mr.. W. o. Batson, an employe, saw
Carter after the car had crushed him
and was the only witness to the terri
BILE accident.

THIS BURGLAR GETS sHEkELs
Raided Number of Homes and Gets

Raided Number of Homes and Gets
Away.
1t is at this season, when window
blinds are left open at night to admit
the breezes, that the burglar and
sneak thief gets in his hook on the
hanging vest, and several residents of
Lee street are now looking for one Of
these thieves, who made haul there.
Sunday morning the discovery was
made that three homes, at least, had
beed pillaged.
At the home of Col w Z. Lane the
burglar secured a sum OF money, as he
did also at Mr.. N. M. Dudley's next
door. The thief only wanted money,
leaving watches and other valuables
alone.
The burglar then entered Mr.. A. w.
Smith residence, a hundred yards off,
but the family was aroused and the in
truder escaped without getting any.
thing. He departed through the din,
ing room window, leaving silYerware
and other valuabIes untouched on the
table.
This evidenced the fact that the bur-
glar wanted money only.
Though an officer of a bank, Mr.
Smith has ever made it custom never
to carry home money in his pocket
not even as much as a dollar, payin&
all bills at the bank. He would, there
fore, have lost no money in this case
but probably other valuables.
So far there is no clue to the identi
ty of this burglar bold, but the officer
