Der of bullets in his arms and legs
and several bones are broken. Both
men preserve absolute silence and SO
far there is no clue to their identity.
A quantity Of nitro-glycerine, several
tools, two darks lanterns, two pistols,
and a considerable amount of money
was found on them. The money is
in silver and greenback and is in the
possession of the sheriff. The men
are we'll dressed and Of genteel ap-
pearance.
The local authorities were apprised
Of the coming of the three men by
a telephone message from McFarlan,
a village in the lower edge Of Arson,
neal the South Carolina line, this af-
ternoon. The message stated that
three strangers, who acted suspicious
ly, had boarded Atlantic Coast Line
trains, n a freight and the other
two passenger trains. A posse of citi-
zens was Immediately formed, and
led by Constable Jim Porter, of Lilies
Vile township, started south, while
local officers watched incoming trains.
When about four miles southeast of
Wadesboro the posse came upon the
three strangers, who had left their
trains there, joined forces and started
across the country in the direction of
Lilesville. The posse commanded the
trio to halt, but the men took to their
heels in an effort to escape and the
posse opened fire. About twenty-five
shots were fired and two of the
strangers fell, seriously wounded. The
third got away and the greater portion
Of the posse continued in pursuit,
while the others guarded the two
wounded men and awaited the arrival
Of the sheriff. Though the two men
were armed they made no effort to re-
turn the fire of the posse. DR.. J. H.
Bennett went to the scene of the bat
tie and dressed the wounds of the
men, returning with them to town to-
night.
The warning Of the presence of the
men in the McFarlan neighborhood
came from Kershaw. S. c.. and as the
latter place is only a few miles from
Heath Springs, S. c., it is presumed
that the men overhauled by the posse
are wanted in connection with the
robbery Of a safe at Heath Springs
less than a week ago.

The disinherited child wrote a letter
that night, and to it. she signed her

might have applied to it an ugly word,
but Libby was only caring for ma. She

words were too bitter to be spoken,
and, with a hard, scraping sound in her
throat, she turned her face to the wall.
Libby put her hand to something in
her pocket, and thought of last nights
work With th~ankfulness.
About II o'clock she entered the
room with the sheets of a letter in her
hand.

the old voice filed the room with it's

into her face an anxious look. "What

better in town. But he's fixed it up
for us to stay. He says you'll

During the first few days of April

favorable for farm work and the
growth of crops, but the middle por-
ton of the week ending Monday, APP
I'll 10th, 1905, was rather unfavorable

the deficiency in temperature. Light

hail n dangerous winds. while in
the Blue Ridge snow covered the
mountains with a white mantle. The
Feverest local storms occurred at Sal

much injury to buildings and forest

fell considerably so that the mean for
