TRIED TO KILL
Ex-Judge Buchanan Shot and Pro
badly Fatally Wounded.

Augusta, Ga, March 16.-Ex-Judge
0. w. Buchanan, Of Winnsboro, S. c.,
whose wife is a niece of Senator B.. r.
Tfllman was mysteriously shot and
probably mortally wounded this after
noon while on his way from Columbia
to Augusta, where his niece Is serious
~ i'll.
Judge Buchanan was seated by a
window in the day coach of a Southern
railway train when the train pulled
out of Wards, S. c. The train had pro-
ceeded but a short distance when a
shot was fired through the windCw by
an unknown party, the bullet grazing
the window ledge and entering the
judges right side. He was taken to
a private sanitarium when the train
arrived here and an operation was per-
formed.
He was prominent in the defense of
James Fl. Tllman, when the latter
was held for trial for the killing Of
Editor N. G.. Gonzales Of the Columbia
State.
Mr.. Tillman is with the Judge to-
night. They believe the shot was fired
with murderous intent.
Columbia, S. c., March 16.-Captain
Henry A. Williams superintendent Of
the Columbia division of the Southern
railway said tonight that he had re-
ceived an official report Of the shoot
ing Of Judge Buchanan at Wards, S.
c., today and that names of witnesses
were given. These testify hat the
train had left the station of Wards
and they did not hear the report Of
n weapon
One version of the shooting is that
some children were playing with rifles
as the train was pulling out OF the
station at Wards and it is believed
that one of these fired the shot.

A REMARKABLE DEBATE
Durham Deaf-Mute Club Discusses
Public Library Question

The deaf and dumb debate last night
at the public library was unique in that
il was the first agitation looking for
ward to the city's ownership and sup
port Of the library. The proposition
for discussion was that the city should
own and support by taxation, this in
stitution not now nearly equal to the
city that Durham has at last become.
The Affirmative won.
The society was called to order by
President Edward Dale, with Grover
Durham as vice-president, Miss Til
linghast secretary and R c. Fortune
treasurer.
The roll call showed nearly all the
members present and the minutes OF

1000 STUDENTS IN A RIOT
Wreck Theatre, Fight Police and Fire
men, and Smash Windows-More
Than a Score Arrested

Ann Arbor, Mich, March 16.-Col-
lege feeling among the students of
the University of Michigan burst
forth into a riot tonight. More than
q score of students were locked up
in Jail and the Star Theater, a five
cent place of amusement, was literal
ly wrecked. Late in the evening the
mob of students, which numbered
fully 1000, directed a college rush"
against the front of the building
tearing away windows and doors and
plaster and rolling the theatre piano
out into the street where leaders of
the students mounted the instrument
and performed a dance to the &C
compartment of mad cheers and yells
from THE ~unmanageable crowd. The
trouble dates back to Saturday night,
when a student in the audience who
persisted in repeating the Ann Ar
Dor college yell too often to suit
the management, was elected and
Thoroughly dubbed by a special po-
liceman in the employ of the thea
ter.
Tonight's trouble started with a
small crowd of students throwing
eggs at the building. This diversion
SOOh saw way ~ "a

ed to quell the disorder the yells Of
derision sent UP by the young men
brought reinforcements from every
direction. AS the attacking party
grew wilder, its aim broadened pro-
portionattely and windows of the up

to crash. Finding the police unable
to subdue the rioters, Mayor Hender-
son summoned the fire department.
Several police officers had been fell

NETS had been stolen to decorate
some students den. The firemen had
no ooner laid their line of hose to
the scene to give the mob a drench-
ing than with a wild yell a detach-
ment of the boys captured a hundred
feet of the hose and ran yelling down
the street with it.
Mayor Henderson tried to secure
aid from the national guard but found
that the local company's rules for
bade it to respond. President Angel
of the University, Dean Hutchins,
Of the law department and Mayo
Henderson vainly pleaded all evening
for the students to dispense, but ap-
parently without result, as the dis
order increased steadily until the

It is obvious enough that Mr.. Bry-

est possible manner from his continued
domination of the democratic party

sequent appearance as preacher of one
imported doctrine after another sc
strange and antipodal to everything
democratic, not to say everything Anne
rican, that his blindest followers out
side the Populist party silently balk
at them. His magnetism, his transpa-
rent honesty, his great lung power
these are undeniable and render his
success before the pubic in ~

The more a rational onlooker consid-
ers his ever-increasing fads and the
colossal egotism with which he loads
them in his own person upon the back
