40 one can reasonably offer any OBJ

any danger of interruption. The as
'ociation with the strange tombs hewn
in solid rock ages ago, by the Egypt
ians, might make some men nervous,
but it does not appear to have any
such effect upon either of the two who
! have met here to face each other in
| a combat for honor.
, Mr.. Grimes, in company with the
French officer, goes over the ground
step Ivy step and announces that he is
perfectly satisfied with the location
chosen. 1t certainly cannot he I'M

so they are well content as 1t is.
"Now for the weapons says the
American, whose businesslike meth

and the West. How Is he to know

Mr.. Grimes crooks his finger, and
when Joe. who is watching. sees this,
he comes at once to the side of his
friend.

curtly.
The explorer takes one up, and
makes n few movements with 1t.
Careful, the barons looking Mt

and Joe sweeps the air no more with
the blade.
He bends it double over his knee,
allowing it TO fly back again. Then
the second sword is also put througlt

Adams Is Captured.

j. H. Adams, the Colleton murderer
who escaped from Jail while under a
death sentence, and for whom q reward
of $1,000 was offered recently, was cap
tured last week by Sheriff l.. G. Owens.
of Colleton county. Adams will now,
under tho law, have to be taken to Collie
ton when the criminal court meets in
February and have sentence of death
passed upon him again. The case is one
of the most peculiar in the criminal his
tory of the State. Flo was convicted of
the murder of James jacques, in that
county, about two years ago and SON
fenced to be hung. Both are white mon
and both families have strong friends
and factions. Adams appealed his case
to the Supreme Court, but lost, and was
sentenced to DO hung. Then he escaped
and reward of $500 was offered for his
capture. Since then lettors were written
to tho effect that Adams was in tho
county and tho reward was then doubled.
Sheriff Ovens made it plain that he
would not make any claim for the reward
OF $1,000, which was outstanding, and
that no member of his posse would. He
took tho position that the arrest was. in
the limo of duty that sheriffs are sworn
to do and that there could be no claim.
There seems to be little doubt but thpt
an effort will be made to secure a com
mutation for Adams. In the moan while
he will be kept in tho penitentiary until
tho next torn of court, when he will be
resentepced.

at the coroner's inquest showed that
young Altman accidentally cut his father
while trying to.out Mr.. Mcmillan, the
jury bringing in a verdict of involuntary
manslaughter. Mcmillan will recover.
