TIGER SPRINGS UPON MAN.
Driver Of Bullock Cart Has Narrow
Escape From Death.

A dispatch from Calcutta says a
correspondent at Chamarajankar
sends the following. A cart be-
longing to the forest range officer
was going along with some twenty
other carts, at a. M, at very lit
tle distance from Atigulipur, eight
miles from Chamarajanger
There were two persons in the
cart. Both were wide awake. There
was noticed some uneasiaess among
the bullocks that were drawing the
carts. The cartman saw this symp-
tom and became aware that there
was danger. The bullocks began to
run, as the road was sloping.
The tiger was perceived by some Of
the cartmen pursuing them, and the
cartmen began to beat the kerosene
oil tins and shout wildly to scare
away the tiger, But the tiger, not
daunted by this, sprang upon one
bullock that was to the left side of
the hindmost cart. The two persons,
though much frightened, yet took
courage and began to shout and howl
their loudest.
The tiger, enraged at this, sprang
on the man who was driving the
cart.} But the man managed to slip
back into the cart, and the tiger lost
its hold, and sat by the roadside.
After awhile the two persons, issued
from the cart and tried to lift the
bullock, but found it was dead. Then,
taking the other bullock, they pro-
ceeded to the town.

SHIPS COLLIDE.
TWenty-Eight Men Are Dead OF
Missing as Results.
CRUISER AND LINER

tom With Part of Her Crew.-The
Accident Was Unavoidable Is the
General Opinion Among Shipping
Men.
A dispatch from London says the
total number Of dead and missing o1
the Gladiator's crew as result OF
the collision between the American
liner st. Paul and the British cruiser
Off the Isle of Wright is 2S. Divers
Sunday searched the sunken cruiser
for bodies, but were not successful
in finding any.
The opinion among shipping men
and naval officers and officials appears
to be unanimous that the accident
was unavoidable, being one of the
chances of the sea which all seamen
must risk.
All witnesss of the disaster agree
practically that both crews behaved
as well as possible.
Coming so soon after the loss of
the torpedo boat destroyer Tiger,
which was sunk by the cruiser Ber-
wick off the Isle of Wright on April
3, last, Sc men being drowned, the
sinking of the Gladiator is a severe
blow to the British navy.
The damaged bow of the St. Paul
indicates that she forced her nose at
least 20 feet through the cruisers
side, but, fortunately the greatest
damage she received was above the
water line. The bow post was buckled,
while the plates on both the port and
starboard bows were crushed in and
gaping cracks extended along the
side.
Neither Capt Passow nor any of
his officers would discuss the acci-
dent, preferring to wait until they
can submit their reports to the proper
officials. 1t was learned, however,
that Capt. Passow is sorely grieved
at the disaster, this being his first
serious mishap.
Had the cruiser been painted any
other color than slate she might have
been seen earlier and the collision
avoided, but Great Britain has decid-
ed that her warships attract less at
tention when thus painted.

"What will be done now that the
supreme court has sustained the in
junction policy as applied to blind

itself to a great many people n the
last two dogs. Gov. Ansel himself
declines to talk, and Attorney General
Lyon is out of the CITY," says the
Columbia State.
"But it is reported that Mr. Mar
shall P. DeBruhl, assistant attorney
general, has been given batch OF
Of Injunction affidarits and has been
ordered by Governor Ansel to pro-
ceed against the places regarded as
blind tigers It is, said that among
these cases are five right here in
Columbia and that Capt. T E. Dixon
has been given orders to enjoin not
only the keepers of the places. but
the owners of the property from ever
again toleratng the Illicit sale Of Ii
quor on the premises, such sale con-
stituting nuisance under the Carey
Cothran act and subjecting the prop
erty to be handled in Injunction pro-
ceedings.
1t is believed that Gov. Ansel will
now push the injunctions against
bling tigers in Charleston-and in.
other cities where they may exist
and by this drastic measure drive
these people out of an unlawful bus
mess.
when Gov. Ansel was candidate
for governor he received nearly T5
per cent. of the otes in Charleston
county. Some time after he assumed
his official duties there was some
talk to the effect that Charleston
was getting more and more wide
open, depending upon Gov. AnsePs
political friendship. When This mat
ter was brought to Gov. Ansel's at
tention he inquired of the attorney
general if there were any way effect
ually to go after the, blind tigers.
"Mr. Lyon suggested the Injunction
method. This was approved by the,
Governor and the State disoensary
auditor, Mr.. w. B. West, was sent
to Charleston to work mp evidence
against suspects. The dispensary
constabulary was used and upon af-,
fidaits thus obtained the attorney
general issued injunctions closing a
number of liquor shops in Charles
ton.
CAP appeal was taken to the SUI
preme court and the court decided In
favor of the injunctions. Mr.. Lyon
had been advised by Gov. Ansel TO.
suspend the enjoining proceedings
until the court should act. Mr.. De
Bruhl, it is stated, has received IN
structions that as the court has sus-
tanned the injunctions the WORK
should be pushed.
II Is said that in Charleston when
a law breaker was enjoined from
selling liquor he would move his
place to the upper story of the same
building and conduct the business IN
his cherk's name. Mr.. Lyon will now
issue injunctions against properly
owners also These injunctions are
nerpetual, and the punishment IS
sure"
