The Eagle claims that it has been

college is based, aud here sets them
forth. AS a mat or Of f.. ct, says the
Eagle. more than 256 votes are hoped
for. Wisconsin, it is held, is quite
likely to cast it's electoral vote for
Parker, and there are even hopes q

list counted on by ths democratic

which she declares was stolen last
June, by J. B. Alexander, friend OF

while the husband was not at home,

OF the alleged larceny she declares she

the crowd got boisterous and often
sive, and there was talk Of Ticking,
and Bcokard told Edwards that if b
did not leave him alone he woul
spank him. There was no tight 0
other incident at the time. Oa Mon
day Edwards, who was employed b.
the Martins, Swore out a Warrent be
fore Magistrate Virgins, and the ne
gro was arrested and fined SIS. Magis
trate Virgins thinking thiss the best
course to stop the trouble. Bookharc
was sent to the town Jail, a two-storJ
frame building in the heart OF The
town, and that very night was taken
out, mutilated and killed. A 55 pound
iron rod was tied to his body, which
was carted to the Santee River, three
miles away, and thrown in.
THE BODY FOUND.
The negroes suspected foul play and
found the body floating six miles from
where it had been thrown into the
river, with the 55.pound weight,
brought up by the foationg body, to
which il was tied, instead Of keeping
it hidden under the water as was ex.
pected.
Several negroes swore that they
identified Bnokhard and part OF bis
clothing was brought into the inquest
and there reeogniz,d. There has been
some suggestion that other bodies
have been found in the same vicinity
and are caught by a boom in the river
built to catch logs, and that this
might be one Of such bodies. The re-
ports are that the identifcations were
far too complete to admit OF such a
story and that the weight, the track
and al indicate that the body is that
of Bookhard.
There has not been a day since Gov
error Hayward returned from St.

this case, and there has not been a
day during which something has not
been done. 1t has been slow process,
