ternoon and considerably shaken up.
Fortunately no bones were broken.
This morning he was reported to be
somewhat stiff and sore as the result
Of his accident but otherwise unin-
jured A gentleman in referring to
our structures on the recent cooking
main in York county stated that a SIM
liar performance was held somewhere
near this city on Christmas day. That
the local affair was not of the propor-
tfons Of that in our sister county, and
that 1t did not attract an equal amount
of comment should render 1t none the
less free from disapproval as a barba-
rous and disgusting practice that be-
longs to savages rather than to an
enlightened people. ..... Mr.. L. b. NC
Keown, with his wife and her chill
dren, left yesterday for Ada, Indian
Territory, where they are going TO
make their home. Misses Bessie and
Mamie, his two daughters Of the old
er family, will remain in this country.
The two older sons are already there.
Mr.. and Mrs. McKeown were both
raised and spent all their lives near
Blackstock and the community can Ill
afford to lose such good citizens. ....
A little child Of Walter Brown color
ed, who lives on Mrs. r. B. Mills place
near the old Strong grave yard In
Hazelwood township, was so severely
burned Friday that 1t died in a few
hours. It was in the house with an
older child when in some way It's
clothing caught fire. The older ore
gave the alarm, and its parents, who
were at the lot, ran to its rescue, but
were met in the yard by the child a
mass of flame. Wallace Thorne,
colored, we'll known In the Wylie's
Mill neighborhood as a thrifty and
respectable negro, committed suicide
early Friday afternoon by drowning.
It is said that the man had just re-
turned from Columbia, where he had
gone to procure his wife's release from
the hospital of the insane. He failed
in his object, and his failure Is thought
to have preyed on his mind to such
an extent that It led him to commit
the rash deed. On his return home he
was noticed to be slightly under the
influence Of liquor, but no one had any
intimation of his awful purpose. Max
ing his way to Fishing creek which Is
at no great distance from his DWELL
ing, Thorne stalked forth into the wa
ters and calmly lay down and waited
for that death for which he longed.
