SPECIAL P[NNANT
IS Won BY P|QUA
Daniels Wins First Race of
Season by Narrow Margin
From Flycamaroo

The special pennant race for the old
and new B boats of the White Bear
Yacht club was sailed yesterday after
noon in the variable breezes, blowing
from six to~eight miles an hour at the
start and dropping to four at the fin
ish. The pennant for the race was
offered by Mr.. Daniels, but the result
of the contest will Keep the bunting
within the family circle, as the donors
son won splendid race with his fast
half rater Piqua, earning winning
brackets for the first time this season.
Piqua has been almost invariably
holding a comfortable position with the
second division on race days. but was
never able to catch the eye of the
judges first as she crossed the line. 1t
was different yesterday, for although
Plqua had only 40 seconds to spare at
the finish over Flycamaroo, sailed by
Don Taylor, she had the rest of the
fleet we'll whipped Off to a last start
she worked her way through the fleet
on the first windward leg, and round-
ing the first mark was in close touch
with the leaders.
Turtle the Reid boat, sailed for the
occasion by Capt. Sam Ordway, was
first over the starting line, followed by
Flycamaroo. Nicola, Monedo. Gree,
and Piqua. Turtle could not hold her
advantage for any length of time and
the fact that she was last in her race
yesterday, under the management of
different crew, has the effect of sus-
pending the judgment of many Of the
yachtsmen who may have been of the
belief that her best speed was not got
ten out of her in her previous races.
After going three miles Piqua and
Flycamaroo pulled away from the fleet
and fought out the battle to the finish
young Daniels getting the verdict by
close figure. Gree and Rambler came
home only a second apart furnishing
an exciting finish for fifth place. Mo-
nedo beat them in by the narrow mar
gin of seven seconds. The three boats
were right together for the last leg of
the course. Nicola and Spindrift did
not finish.
The boats will race again on Satur-
day for special pennant, and the chal-
lengers will also be on hand to contest
in class A. A good race may be looked
for between White Bear and st, Paul
if the wind is heavy. Alpha, the win
ner at Oshkosh, and Wanderer., which
won the B trophy on Winnebago, will
also be in readiness to start. Sum

Strange Crime at Holly Hill.

Strange Crime at Holly Eill.
Columbia, S. c., March South
Carolina had just had another lynch
ing, the story of which makes one of
the most remarkable and unique
chapters in the criminal history of
the state.
On Saturday morning last strange
negro giving in turn the names of
Richard Johnson, John Brown, and
Joe Swinson, arrived ir the town of
Holly Hill, Berkeley county and
made his appearance upon the streets.
he was in a turbulent humor and
told the town marshal that "strsnge
negroes sometimes killed buckra."
As the day wore on the negro be-
came very obstreperous and was
finally arrested for disorder]y con-
duct. He was violent after his arrest
that it became necessary in order to
subdue him to handcuff him and tie
him securely with ropes after he was
placed in the cals.boose.
The authorities of the town thought
of the matter until Sunday when the
dead body of the negro was found in
vacant tenant house scme distance
from the town, the bod y having seven
bullet holes in it, sitting erect by the
side of the wall, still wearing the
handouts.
The story of what happened to the
negro is perhaps told in lis own
words through the lips of another
negro living near the house in which
he was found, to whom he talked at
an early hour Sunday morning.
"In the night two white men came
and took me out, and down near the
railroad cul7ert shot me and threw
me in the ditch for dead, but [
wasn't dead; I got up and cam here"
This is the story told one Manuel,
q colored man, at whose home be
stopped snd asked to stay, but as he
was still handcuffed Manuel was
afraid to give him shelter, but direct
ed him to q vacant house, where he
could spend the night.
