Mr.. THOMAS IS GETTING WELL.
Young Man Who Hurt Himself Div.
ing in the River.
(Anderson Mail, Sept. 11.s


News from William G.. Thomas,
fireman on the Blue Ridge road be-
tween Anderson and Walhalla, who
was injured month ago by striking
his, head on the bottom in diving
into Rocky River, is to the effect that
the young mans condition is much
improved. He has been a patient in
the Columbia Hospital for the past
three weeks.
Several days ago the officials OF
the Blue Ridge road here received
word that Thomas condition had
shown SO much Improvement that he
would be able to return home within
a short time, and Thomas may ar
rive here within the next few days.
When Thomas was sent to the
Columbia Hospital, 1t had been decld-
ed that an operation was necessary,
but his employers here say they do
not know whether or not this was
performed. The exact nature, or
how much the young mans condi-
tion had improved, was not stated
in the communication received from
the attending physicians. 1t was
merely stated that he was much i'm
proved. H. y
1t will be remembered that on
Sunday morning, August 20, Thomas,
with party of friends, railroad men
and others, went to Rocky RIVER for
swim. The water was not more
than three feet deep and in diving
from the high bank, Thomas, who
weighs about 200 pounds, took the
water in perpendicular position.
His head struck the sandy bottom
with terrific force and the neck and
right side were partially paralyzed
by the shock.
Thomas Is about "a years old and
has wife and four children. He
has for a number of years been an
employee Of the Blue Ridge, and has
many friends among the railroad
people and othcrs, who hope that his
condition will soon be even greater
improved

THE CASE OF MAYME ELRoD.
Q. III. Donald Charged with Murder.
Evidence Tends to Accident.
(Anderson Mail, 1oth.)

AS result of the coroner's INQUEST
held to-day at noon to ascertain the
cause of the death of Mayme Elrod,
the white woman who died at the
hospital here Tuesday morning, C.
II. Donald, the nan who did the
shooting, was placed in Jail here this
morning, and will be held for trial
on the charge of murder.
The verdict of the jury was that
the woman came to her death from
a pistol shot wound inflicted at the
hand of G. H. Donald.
Coroner Pruitt went to the scene
of the tragedy in Oconee county yes
terday and summoned several wit
nesses, including the youth accused
of the crime, to appear before the
jury at the inquest to-day. Several
OF these were examined and the story
told was about the same. All of the
testimony tended to show that the
shooting had been accidental.
w. F. Donald, cousin Of the man
accused, was the chief witness at the
inquest. He said that he, with seve-
raj Others Of the section, had gone
to neighbor's house and had taken
the pistol with them. In returning
they passed G. H. Donald, Mayme Ell
rod and others at work in the field
and asked the woman to take the
pistol to the house. The woman, hay
Ing no pockets, turned the weapon
over to another.
G. III. Donald secured it later; and
while pranking with 1T the gun went
off, the ball entering the woman's alb
domen.
G. H. Donald says he was much
frightened when he saw what had
been done--the woman lying on the
ground groaning-and he fled, but
later came back. The woman was
carried to the house, and later sent
to the hospital here, being admitted
on card from DR.. Hunt, Of Town
Vile, who was called to attend her
shortly after the shooting occurred.
Under the statutes the case will
come up for trial in Anderson coun-
ty, the woman having died and the
inquest having been held here.

church, lectures, entertainments,
or ride on trains without suffer
