Pawned Gun Causes Tragedy.


At Monetta a little town without
a marshal about 40 miles from Co.
lumbia, on the Augusta-Columbia line
of the Southern, in Saluda county, B.
B. Burton, who runs store, and lives
on a farm about mile and a half
from the town, was shot and instantly
killed by w. w. Traikhill, neighbors
of the Burtons, and living about two
miles from town.
The shooting is said to have been the
result of a quarrel which the Thrail-
kills had with the Burtons, about a
month ago, growing out of the borrow
ing cf a revolver by one of the Thrail-
kill negroes, who pawned the weapon
to Burton.
The shooting started in front OF
Burton's store. L. NJ. Burton, who was
with his father at the time,wa wound
ed in the thigh. Neither of the Bur-
tons was armed. They retreatei to
Stevens & Cato's store, about so yards,
the elder Burton falling in that store
door, with his body riddled with buck
shot. Young Burton was wounded
with a revolver shot.
Both the Burtons and Thrailkills are
highly spoken of as sober and indus
trious farmers and good citizens. The
elder Burton leaves a widow and three
children.

Again the staff and valisc slipped

listened. while his heart beat heavily
against his breast
At last he turned about and slowly
retraced his steps, leaving his bag

of the road. He approached within
a few feet Of Nance before he stopped.
Then. steadying his voice as we'll as
he could, he called her name.
Nance suddenly turned about and
gazed upon the tall form of the West

dropped her apron and impulsively
sprang toward him.
"Oh, Zeb" she cried through her
tears. II didn't mean it. you know 1

some delay in the erection of a
weather bureau building at Columbia
by the United States government. The
total appropriation for the purpose is
$4,000, and it is uesired to buy a

Of this property as he desires to turn
it into a public park. The matter is
now before the street committee of

before it is acted upon, as Mr.. Robert

The piano which was used by Mrs.
Goldbeck at the Schumann concert. q
few evenings ago in the Auditorium,
was of such unusual volume in its
tone that many inquiries have been
made from the Auditorium people as
to the name of the piano. The piano
was one of the famous high grade
Steger and Sons. loaned by the Col
umbine Music Company of this city,
which piano was selected after Mrs.
Goldbeck had tested a number in the
city.
The Steger and Sons piano has at
tained wide recognition for its
beautiful musical tone of deep SYM
pathetic quality and fine volume.
1t is artistic in the best sense of the
word and appeals quickly to the cult
waited taste. Many large institutions
of music are now exclusively using
the Steger piano because of its super
ior tone and touch. and those qualities
that go to make the really artistic
piano. The several patented improv-
ments that belong to the Steger piano
give it an individuality that is at
tractive as we'll as valuable.

it was decided that Baltimore for the
present needs no outside help. At the

machinery for an advisory Legislative
