MOB TAKES KEYS
 FROM POLICEMAN
JOHN MORRISON IS LYNcHED AND TWO SHOTS FIRED INTO HIS BODY AS HE SWINGS FROM TREE.

Columbia, s. C.. October 2.-Further details of the lynching of John Morrison. the white man who killed Will T. Floyd Saturday at Kershaw, have been re- ceived.
 Immediately after the killing of Floyd and the arrest of Morrison feeling be- came intense. There was little said, but 1t soon became known that the sheriff of Lancaster was on his way to assist in protecting the prisoner. An electric light had been placed before the guard house door, and a policeman was on guard. About s o'clock the light went out and a crowd poured into the alley, overpowered the policeman, took the keys and brought Morrison out.
 He was taken just outside the town limits and hanged to a tree. Two shots were fired into Morrison's neck as he swung. Sheriff Hunter of Lancaster with deputies arrived at Kershaw on a special train a few minutes after the guardhouse was forced and probably heard the pistol shots. He began search ing for the lynching party, and found the body about midnight. The troops from Camden arrived later. An inquest was held and the usual verdict rendered. No arrests have been made.

unable to form anything like an estimate of the number who fell in attacking and defending the supplementary forts near Itz mountain. Since the battle both sides continue to shell at intervals daily. The Russians make many small sorties against the Japanese trenches. Small positions frequently change hands. The Chinese say they were compelled to bury the dead by stealth at night, for the reason that the Japanese would fire on them,

Russians Are Aggressive.

Che Foo, October 2.-(6 p. m0-Severe fighting, the Russians being the aggres- sors, occurred September 2S and 29 on the west shore of Liaoti promontory, near Pigeon Bay, according to report brought by Chinese who left Port Ar thur September 30.
 The Russians already apparently are attempting to capture the heavy guns which the Japanese have mounted in that vicinity. The Russians were inconsider- able force, and they made several sorties, dragging field artillery with them. They were unsuccessful however. Three junks with 160 coolies, arrived here today, They left Port Arthur because they were forced to carry the wounded and bury the dead. They were afraid that eventu- ally they would have no food, although rice is plentiful now, according to their stories. They further say that the Rus sians lost heavily during the attacks on September 19, and September 23, but the Japanese loss was much heavier.
 The Russian ships were silent during the battle, and the hitherto usued mer- chant ships were, as a result of the fight, turned into hospitals.
 Dead Are Very Numerous. Several of the Cninese who were en- ployed in carrying the dead say that the dead were so numerous that they were

cident occurred at the foot of Richard
sons hill, a short distance outside the
city. He was waiKdng toward the city, tho
car running in the same direction. Being
deaf. he did not hear its approach.
He was seen on the track by people on
the car but they supposed he would hear
the car coming and step oft before 1t
reached him.
The deceased was born at Chatam. near
Wilmington, on May p. 1897. He is sur
vived by a wife and two daughters. The
funeral will take place from his late resi-
dence on Wednesday morning and inter-
ment made at St. Augustine Cemetery,
