CHESTER.
Lantern, June 9: Miss Essie Finch
and Mr.. w. T. GLADDEN. were married
Tuesday evening at s o'clock at the
home of the brides parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. w. H. Finch, at Fort Lawn. The
ceremony was performed by Rev. w.
A. Fairey. Mr.. and Mrs. GLADDEN.
passed through here Wednesday morn
ing on their bridal tour to North Caro-
lima Mr.. w. A. Bowles suffered
partial stroke of paralysis In his left
side this morning between l and
o'clock. His speech is somewhat az
fected and his left arm seems to be
more seriously affected than any other
part of his body. Mr.. ID. j. Yongue
of Slower, was in town Wednesday and
was a caller at the Lantern Office. He
says he has in his possession a white
mocking bird. 1t was hatched and
raised in a rosebush in his yard and
when it got large enough to fly he
caught it and put 1t in a cage. Rev.
A. ]. Ransom of Spartanburg, was In
the city between trains this morning
on his way to Sharon and other A. X.
P. churches in York county on his can
vass for funds to build the Spartan
burg church. He was at Edgmoor yes
terday and at Union last night. ......
Mrs. w. r. Brown and Mr.. Ernest
GLADDEN. returned Monday from Beth
ell, York county, where they went
Friday to visit relatives and at
tend family reunion at the home OF
the latter's grandmother, Mrs. Eliza
GLADDEN.. In our Tuesdays issue
1t was stated that Frazer Gist, the es-
Gaping convict, was shot by trusty,
who was keeping guard, and this Is
true as far as 1t goes, but Is liable to
give a wrong impression Of the situa-
ton, especially if any one is inclined
to find fault. The regular night guard
was at his post, and getting an inti-
nation that something was wrong, he
sent this trusty for the superintend-
ent thinking it better to have assist
ance before making investigation. Mr..
McKeown sent the trusty on back to
guard outside until he could get there,
and he and another guard followed al
most Immediately. Gist, hearing them
coming, knew then was his only
chance to get away, and so made a
bolt. The trusty, who is a cripple and
was unable to pursue, ordered him TO
stop, but he paid no heed and was
just on the edge Of a thicket when
fired upon. All the load struck below
vital parts, as was intended, except
two scattering shots which entered the
bowels. Three white guards, however,
had their guns leveled on Gist but did
not shoot, as he Immediately stopped.
So it will be seen that the trusty was
serving for the time as an additional
precaution, and not in the absence of
the regular guard.
