Axe and Knife.

While in a At OF violent insanity
and thinking, as he said, that some
one was trying to kill him, Joseph w.
Hagood Saturday made a murderous
attack upon Mrs. Eugenia Smith
with an axe, fracturing her skull.
and with a long knife stabbed Mr..
John j. Riley in the back in Colum-
bia. Mrs. Smith and Mr.. Riley are
now under care at the Columbia hos
pital and some doubts are entertain
ed as to their recovery.
The State says Hagood has been on
parole from the insane asylum for
just 30 days and up to his tragic
deed Saturday has been conducting
himself commendable since his re-
lief But Saturday morning he was
seized with terrible malady and get
ting an axe he went to the house oc-
cupied by Mrs. Smith, MIR. Riley and
others. and battered down the door
or the room in which the helpless
was. With a blow he felled Mrs.
Smith across the bed, inflicting a SER
ious fracture of the skull, and then
L.
was in bed.
Mr.. Riley, a one-legged man, hear
ing the noise in the back part of the
house got out of the bed and started
to leave the house when he was seen
by Hagood. The maniac gave chase
to Mr.. Riley and soon overlook and
overpowered him, dealing him n blow
on the hip with the axe and then
stabbing him in the back with a knife
near the back bone.
About this time a general alarm
had been given by Mrs. A. Andrews
who was in the house at the time
and Mr.. j. III. Faulk and others over
powered the maniac and after sum-
moning the police patrol placed him
in the wagon, where he was carried
to the station and locked up.
DR.. c. F. Williams, the city physi-
clan. who is attending the injured
people, said he can not say just yet
what will be the outcome of their in
juries. Mrs. Smiths fracture is Of q
very serious nature and may prove
fatal. Mr.. Riley will probably get
well, unless the knife penetrated into
the lung. which the doctor fears.
Both parties were resting we'll late
Saturday night. Saturday afternoon

He was carried to the hospital In
the patrol wagon and was very order

seemed to worry him was that he
feared some one would at any time
do him harm, 1t seems. Hagood is a
huskster by trade and is married.
His wife saw a part of the sad affair
and tried to control her husband, but
could not. She seemed not to be
afraid of him, as she had seen him
undergo spells at other times.

CITY WIPED OUT

II ts Reported That Five Hundred
People Were Killed by the Terrible
Disaster.
A dispatch from Chilpaucfngo
Mexico. says that city has been com
pletely destroyed by one OF the most
serious earthquakes that has ever
visited that section. Up to Monday
evening the known dead number IL,
and the badly injured seven.
A panic prevails everywhere and
people are fleeing to the open coun-
try. The earth continues to rock al
half hour intervals, and many minor
shocks completed the work of de-
struction.
All telegraphic communication to
the outside world ceased shortly after
1850 O'Clock Monday night. when
the first shock was felt. The tele-
graph operators have installed tenn
porary quarters In an open square.
The town OF Chilapa. t2 kilomet-
ers to the northeastwaYd, has also
been destroyed. As yet no details
have been received as to the number
Of dead and wounded, but 1t is feared
that the number will be large.
Both the volcanoes Of Colima and
Jorullo are In this region and the
people fear that the recent eruption
OF the earth may cause these noun
tafns to become more active and to
destroy much property and many
lives.
A dispatch from the City of Mex
leo says the National Bank OF Mexico
has received q telegram saying that
500 lives were lost In the destruction
of Chilpancingo and Chilapa. The
telegram adds that both cities were
completely destroyed. In govern
mental circles the report Ia not cred
tied.
1t is admitted that both cities were
severely damaged. but 1t Is not
thought that the death list will even
approximate 500 owing to the fact
that the houses are massive affairs
built OF stone In order to resist earth
quake shocks.
Tho government Of the state OF
Guerrero has dispatched military en-
gineers and troops to the destroyed
district and the work OF rescue and
sanitation is being carried on in q
systematic way.
A dispatch from the City Of Mexi-
CO on Monday night says heavy earth
quake shocks continued ON the west
coast until o'clock Monday morn
ing. At that date news from the
area OF greatest destruction shows
that the devastation was greater than
at first supposed.
Besides the destruction of Chilpan-
icingo and Chilapa, it is now report
ed that Tixtla, between these two
cities. containing about the same pop
ulation as Chilpanicingo, was also
leveled.
Messengers from the coast who
have reached Chilpanicingo say that
the towns OF Ayutlo and Ometepec
have been destroyed and that the loss
Of life Is very heavy. 1t will be sew
eral days before full particulars will
be received.
