No One Killed But Combatalats Are

The war has brokeout in Grooms-

There have been several encounters.

Magistrate Horace Hardy, Jr., has
been appealed to to arbitrate the af-

charge Of malicious trespass, but there
may be more exciting developments

the plaintiff was entitled to the pos

SERIOUS ACCIDENT AT SUMTER
JUNCTION SATURDAY.
Sam Robinson Attempted to Board. a
Moving Train With Disastrous
Results.

Sam Robinson, colored, attempted
to board a moving train at Sumter
Junction Saturday afternoon and was
thrown under the wheels, which pass
ed over both feet crushing them in a
horrible manner. He was brought to
this city Saturday uight and placed
under the care of DR.. J. A. Mood, the
Southern Railway surgeon for this
district. When he arrived he was suf-
fering from shock and was in such a
precarious condition that nothing
could be done for him save to give his
wounds a temporary dressing. Sunday
morning he had revived sufficiently for
an operation to be performed. and
both legs were amputated below the
knees. He stood the operation well and
it is thought he will recover.
The account of the accident is that
he was waiting at Sumter Junction for
the train and as it approached the
station he thought it was not going to
stop so he rushed out beside the track
and as it passed him he made an effort
get aboard.

for Collector of Port Of Charleston.

Washington, Jan. 6.-The nomina-
ton Of w. D. Crum, a negro, to be
collector of the port of Charleston, S.
c., was confirmed by the senate in ex-
ecutive session today by vote of s3
to II. Crum has been nominated by
the president three times and in addi-
ton to these nominations has received
three recess appointments, and is now
serving under the last Of these. Con-
frmation was opposed by Senator Till
man, who objected to the appointment
of a negro.
Senator Tillman made speech de-
voted almost entirely to he question
Of the constitutional right of the presi-
dent to make recess appointment
when no actual recess had occurred.
the senate having adjourned one ses-
sion and began another at noon Of
the same day. He introduced at the
last session of congress a resolution
on the subject Of constructive recesses,
which was referred to the committee
on the judiciary. Senator Platt Of Con-
necticut, chairman Of that committee,
said the resolution had been referred
to a subcommittee and that he ex-
pected a report would be made later.
The race issues played very insig-
nificant part in the debate, which was
participated in by fully dozen sena-
tors.
When Crum receives his commission
he will be entitled to receive the salary
which has accumulated since his first
appointment.

neighborhood, and was lodged in jail
that night. It is stated that he was
present when the murder was COM

Richardson he aided and abetted the
escape Of Tune Williams. After the
killing he rifed tn pockets Of the
dead negro, taking therefrom $3.50 in
money.

atroccious affair than at first reported

murder Of Richardson by Josephine
Robinson, who held his hands while
the Williams woman cut his throat:

Expense Of Delegates.

Of Sumter county on January 2, 1905,
last the collection taken to defray the
expenses of two delegates chosen to
represent the county at the Cotton
Growers convention to meet at New
Orleans on January "a to Is inst, was
insufficient. It is too much to expect the
delegates to bear the greater part OF
their own expenses. All who feel an

hand in a subscription to either OF the
undersigned as early as possible.

IsENHARr CASE BEFORE JURY.
Stands 10 to 2 But Apparently Can
Not Agree.

The Isenhart win case went to the
jury in the district court Saturday
morning and the best the jury could 40
this morning was to stand ten to two
in favor of breaking the will.
The contest is over the will of the
late Judge S. B. Isenhart. Shortly be
fore his death he made a will leaving all
his property, valued at about 81 500. to
his sister Mrs. Florence Douglas, of
Fargo, N. D. Two brothers and a sister
attempted to break the will on the
ground that Judge Isenhart was not Of
sound mind when he made the will and
that he was unduly Influenced by her
and her attorney, D. T. Gregg. The 71Irv
has to answer the questions whether
Judge Isenhart was of sound mind
when he made the will and if he was
unduly influenced. The jury stood 10 to
this morning in favor of deciding that
the win should not stand.
At , o'clock the jury was again sant
out.

Chicago, May ga stampede of
shorts today advanced the price of corn

May option is prctically "cornered'' by
a few prominent traders. A desire 10
avoid possibly greater loss than al
ready incurred was the cause of the
urgent demand today, from those who
were on the wrong side Of the market
The May delivery opened at 53 cents.
The price quickly jumped to 59c a bush
el. Realizing sales caused a reaction to
5715c.
A somewhat similar situation de-
veloped in the wheat pit. On an active
demand, from shorts the price of
wheat for May delivery was forced up
cents a bushel. Much of the gain
was subsequently lost on profit taking.
May wheat opened at 90 cents After
advancing to $1.03 the price dropped
to S1.01 z.
After the early bulge the market quiz
eted down considera bly,. Under contin-
ued proft-taking the price of May corn
sold off to 5615 The wheat market also
lost much of its bullishness. Final quo
tations on May wheat were at 101, q
