he had, he said, unintentionally run
into the man, who then hit him in the
face despite his apology. Recovering
himself, Neary dealt his antagonist a
terrific punch, which turned him over,
landing him in doorway, and, Neary
added, '.he took the count" Neary
begged the officers to look after the
other fellow. Several men hurried out
and found Neary's opponent prone in
a doorway. he was an immense wood

J. II. Hesse Hangs Himself.

WA1HALLA, May 29-The body OF j.
Henry Hesse was discovered swinging
from q limb of tree on his place, about
three miles from Walhalla, this morning.
he had been under the impression for a
day or two that the sheriff was hunting
him, and in frenzy of fear he took his
own life by hanging. He climbed into
the tree, tied a wire about his neck and to
the limb, and then dropped.
1t is supposed that Hesse committed the
deed about 10 o'clock on Monday night.
A neighbor accompanied him to his home,
but he insisted that his friend should 60
first to the house and find out if the
sheriff was there. During his friends ab-
sence he hanged himself. No trace of
him could be found until daylight, when
bis body was found cold in death, hanging
from a tree. His mind was thought by
many to be weakening as a result OF
heavy losses by fire last fall, and indica-
tions of late had been more marked.
Mr.. Hesse was well known in Charles
ton, his parents and other relatives having
been largely connected with business
interests there. he was about As years OF
age. He leaves a wife and five or six
children. He was among the most we'll
to.do German farmers of this section.

Lost ON q Sure Thing.

Drury Field of Richards is mule buyer
and an enthusiast on good roads. He
was in Kansas on a mule-buying trip,
when he stopped at small town west OF
Fort Scott. A veterinary was preparing
= hot application for horse with
sprained leg, when Feild approached the
livery stable. A kettle with the water
heating in it stood near and men were
gathered about discussing how hot the
water should be when applied to the
horses leg. They asked Drury Fields
opinion. Mr.. Field said it should be
boiling. "But," said the doctor, "the
horse never could stand having his foot
put in bucket of boiling water; it would
cook the flesh to the bone" "Not at all"
said Drury. II have held my foot in
boiling water for five minutes, many a
time and can DO it again" I'll bet you
$50 you can't do it," said the doctor, with
thoughts of easy money drifting through
his brain. "rll take the bet," said Drury,
with merry twinkle in his eye; "get 'er
to bilin'." The mule buyer has an arti.
fetal foot which he intended to put in
the hot water when it should be ready.
Meanwhile the subject of good roads
came up, and when the tub OF boiling
water was ready the mule buyer, excited
By his argument, absent mindedly put the
wrong foot in the liquid, according to the
statement of the Richards Progress, and
thereby lost what looked Ikea bet on

USED WATER CURE
ON BIG BLACK BEAR
Bruin Took Possession of Warm Engine
Cab and Refused to
"Skid0o."

A big black bear took possession OF
the cab Of Colorado and Southern To-
comotive near Como, Colo, and fought
fercely rather than abandon its warm
abode. It was finally routed out with
hot water and q hose from another To-
comotive.
A snowplow, with five locomotives,
had been engaged in clearing the
tracks Of snow, and during the night
the string Of engines was left on side
track with fires banked and only one
watchman. The next morning the bear
was found in one Of the cabs. None OF
the party was armed, and other means
to dislodge him having failed the hose
was used, and bruin took to the noun
tains.

The railroad meeting is to be held IN
the court house here next Monday at IL
O'Clock. There should be full attend
ance of representative business men from
all sections of the county. We need and
must have the railroad.
Nv
Every one will agree that Bamberg
needs another railroad, and it is certain
that we will never get it if we sit down
and wait for other people to build it tor
us. We can get plenty of help if we but
take the initiative and show the proper
spirit, but capitalists are not going toput
their money into community unless the
business men of that community show
some interest. Another road would be
of untold benefit to all sections OF the
county, and we hope to see full attend
ance at the meeting next Friday.

A queer state of affairs exists at pres
emit in the town of Kershaw. The town
is partly in Lancaster and partly in Ker-
shaw counties. The dispensary was voted
out of Lancaster county, and this re-
moved the dispensary from the town OF
Kershaw, as it was located in the Lancas-
ter side of the town. Now the dispensary
people want to establish dispensary in
the Kershaw part of the town. The anti
dispensary people are opposing it, and we
hope they will be successful. We have
never believed in forcing dispensary on
q town, but unfortunately this has been
the policy pursued by dispensary officials.

Their Catlike Curiosity Makes
Life Eventful Along the
Uganda Line.
SIMBA THEIR PET STATION
Agent There Wires That They Sleep on
His Platform aud Amuse Themselves
by Chasing Trackmen Up
Telegraph Poles.

The lions Of East Africa appear to be
watching the progress Of civilization
with deep interest, and nothing has
done more to arouse their curiosity
and wonder than the trains on the
Uganda railroad.
This railroad, from the Indian ocean
to Victoria Nyanza, is 5S4 miles long.
and, between the terminal points are
thirty-nine stations. The line IS man.
aged on the system Of the Indian rail-
roads, and most Of the men in the
track, train and station service are
East Indians.
The Indian station agent is known as
a babu, and he leads lonesome life.
Simba. for example, where the lions
have been making special study Of
the railroad system, has only station
building, a water tank for the engines
and q side track, this being one Of the
places where trains pass each other on
the single track road. =.
The traffic manager at Nairobi one
morning received this astonishing teie-
gram from the babu at Simba:
A lion has been bothering me for three
nights He comes up on the station plat
form and goes to sleep. Then he walks
up and down. scratches on the wall and
door and tries to get into the Office.
Please send cartridges for Snyder rife
by the first train for my protection. I
have blank cartridges, but they are Of
no use against lions.
This profound observation has the
earmarks Of sober truth. It is to be
believed that the cartridges were
promptly supplied, but, If so, they did
not make deep impression upon the
lions, for a month later another hair
raising telegram reached the traffic
manager, as follows:
Urgent. TO Traffic Manager:
A lion is on the platform. Please In
struct guard and driver (engineer) to pro-
ceed carefully and to make no signals IN
the yard. Tell the guard to advise pas
sengers not to get out here and to be very

Office.

safety of the guard or whether he

thought that the lion might take advan-
tage Of the open door. However this
may be, the distress signal from Simba
had the immediate result Of starting q
British sportsman in that direction.
he took the next train for Simba,
and under the water tank he and the
railroad men erected platform about
ten feet above the ground, where the
Nimrod spent several days waiting for
the visitors. His patience was at
length rewarded. he bagged two lions
and a lioness, though one lion bit him
so severely in the arm when he went
up to the apparently dead beast that
he spent three months in q coast hos
pital.
There was nothing doing for several
weeks after the great day when three
lions had been laid low within few
rods Of the station. Then came an
other nervous telegram:
Extra urgent! Track hand was sur
rounded by two lions while returning
from signal box. He climbed telegraph
pole near the water tank. He is up there
yet. Order train to stop there and take
him aboard.
The track man succeeded In reaching
the station before relief arrived For
several days the telegraph wire was
burdened only with routine dispatches.
Then another episode was proclaimed
in the following shape:
To Guard and Driver Of Down Train:
Carriage of secretary is on the siding,
where he shot lion just now, and others
are roaring on Makindu side. Driver
must proceed without signals and stop
engine opposite station. Guard must not
get out Of the brake van.
Later adyices have not yet come to
hand, but If any station master Is find-
ing life monotonous and longs to have
q dull routine peppered with incident
and adventure perhaps he may arrange
to swap Jobs with the babu at simba.
