Threats by Night Riders.

), Nashville, November 13.-As re-
suit of the operations of a gang OF
might riders in the Henrietta vicinity
of Cheatham county, this State, near
the Montgomery county line, num-
Der of negro families have left the
State.
Within the last two weeks, warn
ings have been sent out that this
section of the country would be rid
of negroes.
Ed. Williams was warned to leave
about a month ago and did so. Sew
eral nights ago a band visited the
former home of Williams and burned
his house and stables. Many shots
were fired about the place.
All the tenants on the farm of Ed.
Custom have moved away on account
of the threat. Henry Evans, colored,
is said to have been called upon by
a band of fifty men and to have lost
no time in getting away.

Perry, Ca, November Thames
H. Hall, a well known merchant and
farmer, brother of NJ. F. Hall, of At
lanta, was shot to death at his store
early this morning by unknown par
ties.
Mr.. Hall lived on his farm between
here and Marshallville. He was called
to his store or commissary, as it is
known, it being stated that some one
desired to make some purchases.
Mr.. Hall responded to the call
promptly and while lighting the lamp
in his store was fired upon. The shot
tore off the back of his head.
The shooting attracted attention
and several people ran to the store.
Mr.. Hall was found dead and his cash
drawer priced open and robbed.

Mrs. Stalvey Gets Money.

Aiken, November 10.-Informa-
ton has been received in Aiken of
the action of the presiding judge in
the Atlanta county court in granting
a decree giving the entire sum of
money deposited in an Atlanta bank
ing institution by Geo. NJ. Stalvey to
Mrs. Elizabeth Stalvey, his alleged
first wife. Mrs. Stalvey contended
that this sum Of money, about 800,
was earned while she and Stalvey
were living together as husband and
wife and that she earned a portion
of the money, which had beer de-
posted in his name, and she insti-
tuted proceedings to recover a por-
ton of the money as being hers and
also asked the court for alimony, and
this accounts for the fact that she re-
ceives the whole amount Notice was
given that the case would be appeal
ed.
1t will be recalled that Stalvey was
recently convicted in the Aiken court
of bigamy, having married Miss Eta
Lightfoot of Orangeburg, and Mrs
Elizabeth Stalvey alleging that she
was his rightful wife.

Fifteen Operations i'm a Year.

New York, Nov. 13.-Only thirty
eight years of age but with hair as
white as snow, with record of hav-
ing undergone fifteen operations
within a year and now awaiting an
other series, the case of William
Smith, at st Vincent's hospital, at
West New Brighton, on Staten Island,
has attracted the attention of physi-
clans.
He has been operated on for ap-
pendicitis, stomach trouble and an
intestinal complaint, suffered ampu-
tation of his right foot and then his
right leg, and now faces the prospect
of having his left leg taken off at the
knee in few days.
Smith is suffering with tuberculo-
sis of the bone. He is miserable and
in pain, of course, and remarked to
an interviewer: 81 can not even pray,
for when I kneel I fall over. hope
to die when they are taking off my
other leg, for if l live through that
will only have to prepare for more
cutting"
Smith was formerly homeless
wanderer. Physicians declare that
he has shown remarkable vitality in
view of his past life.

Jersey City.
New York, November 13.-An en-
ployment agency for ex-convicts is to
cording to J. F. Larkin, chief of the
cordidng oJ. F. Larkin, chief of the
Jersey City detective bureau.
Realizing that men and women
who are released from prison are
branded by the public at large and
find great difficulty in fighting life's
battles anew, it is Larkin's hope to
secure work for as many applicants
as possible and to this end he is seek
ing the cooperation Of public spirit
ed citizens.
1t is Larkin's plan to have each
man or woman whom he places in a
position report to him from time to
time of his or her progress. Their
employers will be communicated with
and in this way the deserving will
be helped along in their struggle to
regain lost respectablity.

Situation at Winthrop.

Columbia, Nov. 13.-Superinten-
dent Martin is back from Rock Hill,
where the board of trustees and State
board of health have been holdinge
meetings looking into the checking
of the spread of typhoid fever at Win
throp.
Mr.. Martin said that the situation
remains much the same as few days
ago.
About ninety girls have already lef:
Winthrop, and every day telegrams
come from parents requesting that
their daughters be given permission
to come home. However, the recent
dismissals from the infirmary have
had a quieting effect upon the stu
dent body, and the girls do not ap-
pear greatly agitated.
The board of health is exercising
persistent efforts to find the source
of infection, and is now attempting to
clear up the matter by means OF
elimination. The water supply has
been abandoned and city water is be-
ing used. The milk has been stopped.
Flies are being trapped and every
thing possible is being done to ascer-
tain the cause of the epidemic.
The period of incubation is from
ten to twenty-one days, and if nc
new cases develop within that num-
Der of days after the precautionary
measures above mentioned were ta-
ken, the situation will then be in
hand and the epidemic will have
ceased.

RECEIVERS HIS GOLD.
Montana Pioneer Finds Treasure
Buried Forty.Four Years Ago.

Of all the thrilling stories told by
visiting pioneers, one by George LIS
com of Miles City, has a golden set
ting which makes it especially inter
esting, says the Helena correspondent
of the New York Tribune. In 1856
Liscom was a member of party OF
fur hunters who operated in this Sec
ton of the state. Early in January
of that year they were camped over
near the gap" One day Liscom
rode several miles away from the
camp after some otter skins which
he believed could be obtained at a
small creek out from the gap.
When some distance from the camp
he met an Indian who manifested
great interest in the destination OF
the white man. He asked questions
which caused Liscom to grow suspi-
cious. He wanted to show his friend
illness by shaking hands with mis-
white brother.
Liscom reached out and shook
hands but as he brought his hand
back he pulled the Indians revolver
from the belt. A moment later the
Indian exclaimed "Indians!" and
pointed back of Liscom. The hunter
looked back, but at the same time he
OWNED the object of the redskin and
threw his hand up over his head. AS
he did 80 the wagon spoke with
which the aborigine intended to brain
his victim came down on the upraised
hand, and as a result Liscom has a
stiff finger. The fur hunter sent a
bullet into the Indian, who in top
pling of his horse caught one arm
in the surcingle on Liscom's horse.
Thinking he was not dead and was
: holding on, the white man put anoth-
er bullet through the Indians throat.
The weight of the redskins body
finally broke the surcingle and Lis
CONS horse ran away. Fortunately
the Indians horse did not rum away.
About that time sixteen Indians got
within firing distance and began to
shoot. The Indians horse was
wounded, and using the body of the
animal as breastwork, Liscom be-
gan 70 do a little execution. He laid
low an Indian with each Of his first
six shots. 1t finally became so warm
: for the Indians that the four or five
of them who were still alive rode
away.
, But the white man did not escape
without wounds. He made his way
back to camp "Old Man" Buchanan,
who still lives out near Kendall, at
tempted bit of surgery, using bull
let mold in his effort to get q bullet
which had been flattened against one
of the bones in Liscom's leg. Later
the camp in which Liscom was lying
was attacked by Indians and he bur-
: led $500 in gold dust. He supposed
that some member of the party had
dug it up until Buchanan a few
months ago told him that, so far as
he knew, the gold dust was where 1t
was buried. Accordingly in May OF
this year, forty-two years and four
months after it was buried, Liscom
went to the old camping place in the
gap and uncovered the gold dust.
The powder box and chamois bag in
which it was buried had dislnte-
grated, but all the gold dust was
there.
Liscom is now well known stock
man of Custer county. He carries
thirteen scars, made by arrows and
bullets, which speak eloqueptly OF
the vicissitudes through which the
trail blazers passed while wrestling
this state from the redskins.

The Law Needs Amending.

A few weeks ago a most dastardly
crime was committed near Spartan
burg, S. C. A highly esteemed young
lady was criminally assaulted by a
british negro. The brute escaped,
but was shortly caught and positive
ly identified. He was put in jail. A
number of indignant citizens, men
who had daughters and sisters, fear
full of a like fate for their loved ones
as we'll as burning for revenge upon
the fiend who had blighted the young
life of the daughter of another, gath
cred around the Jail. It was their
avowed purpose to .mete out his just
deserts to this criminal. They were
met with guns in the hands of the
sheriff and his deputies and several
of them were wounded. Then the
militia was called out The criminal
was carried to the penitentiary for
safe keeping and the people were
promised that he would be punished
as his crime deserved by the law.
He has now been tried. Guarded
by soldiers he was brought back from
Columbia to Spartanburg, and put
upon trial. He was defended by
counsel and given the benefit Of all
the safeguards provided by law to
avoid the conviction of an innocent
party. After a full and fair trial he
was convicted. The full penalty pro-
vided by the law was given him. And
what was that?
Thirty years Imprisonment.
Is that adequate punishment for
such a crime? What in the way OF
punishment is thirty years imprison-
ment to such criminal? He will be
well fed and clothed, better perhaps
than he would have been had he been
at liberty. He will suffer no hard
ships or inconvenience beyond being
deprived of his freedom, and the
worst punishment in that to him will
probably be the fact that it will pre-
vent the committing of other crimes.
Imprisonment is no punishment for
such a creature, and imposed as a
warning to others against the COM
hitting of like crimes it is absolutely
valueless.
There is but one punishment that
is adequate for such crime, or as a
salutary warning to criminals OF
this class. That punishment is death.
Nothing short of the life of such
a brute can atone for this crime, and
nothing short of inficting the death
penalty will be sufficient to serve as
an example.
The Judge in this case cannot be
blamed. He can only apply the law
as it is written upon the books. The
law itself is wrong. What is needed
in South Carolina, and what the leg
islature should do on the first day it
meets again, is to pass law making
criminal assault capital crime

Action Prevents kace Riot.
Okmulgee, Okla, November 10
Eight persons were killed and 10 9TH
ers were wounded to-day in a fight
between James Deckard, negro des-
perado, and officers.
The dead: Edgar Robinson, sherlff
of Okmulgee county; Henry Klaber,
assistant chief of police of Okmulgee;
two negroes named Chapman, broth
ers; J. Deckard, negro; three uni
Identified negroes.
The wounded: Steve Grayson, In
dian boy, probably fatally beaten;
Victor Fair, chief of Sioux, shot
through shoulder; deputy sheriff,
arm broken; seven others slightly
wounded.
The disturbance began at the St.
Louis & San Francisco railroad sta
ton, where Deckard engaged In a
fight with an Indian boy, Steve Gray
son, and beat him into insensibility
with a rock. Friends of Grayson call
ea the police. When Policeman Kla-
Der went to the station Deckard fled
to his house near by and barricaded
himself. When Klaber approached
the house Deckard shot and instantly
killed him.
Sheriff Robinson gathered deputies
in a few minutes and hurried to the
scene. This party contained several
negroes whom the sheriff commis-
stoned as deputies. AS the attacking
party approached the Deckard house,
Deckard opened fire with rifle, FIR
mig as rapidly as he could load his
weapon.
The sheriff fell first, instantly kill
ed. Then five negro deputies were
slain.
Deckard's house was soon sur
rounded by frenzied mob of armed
men. Fire was set to house just
north of ,Deckard's. Volleys Of bull
let's were poured into --Deckard's
house and he was shot down. He
was seen to roll over, strike match
and set fire to his own house, which
was soon a roaring furnace in which
his bodg was baked. Deckard evil
dently had a large quantity Of am
munition stored in his house for
many cartridges exploded.
Gov. Haskell at Guthrie was advis-
ed of the fight and of the bad feeling
between whites and negroes that had
grown out of it, threatening race
riot. The governor at once ordered
the militia company at Muskogee to
prepare to go to Okmulgee and a spe-
cial train was made ready to carry the
troops The governor remained at
his Office to keep in touch with the
situation
News Of the preparation to send
militia had a good effect on the dis
orderly element of both races and to-
night the crowd dispersed. Further
trouble is not expected. When it
became known that no other negro
had assisted Deckard against the Of
icers, the talk of race riot subsided.

A Prison BurIesque.

An adventure of a burlesque charac- ter has just happened to the prison authorities of St. Joseph's prison at Grenoble. There were two men named Gouret in the prison. One had been in jail for several months, and was due to be released th.s week, while the other had only recently begun to serve long term.
 The warden of the prison ordered the first Gouret released. but the keepers made a mistake and opened the prison doors to the second Gouret. who did not understand why this good fortune had come to him so unexpected. He said nothing. however. and lost no time in getting out of this district.
 The first Gouret was surprised. too. but his surprise was of the opposite kind. and he did say something, when two days had passed and he was not released.
 His protests at first availed him nothing; his name was Gouret, and there was a Gouret due to remain be- hind bars for a long time yet. At last the story reached the cars of the warden. who set him free, but the wrongly released prisoner is st.ll at large and has probably left the coun- try.
