A SIOUX RAID. RECALLED.
Death Of One Woman Who Escaped.
A Prediction Verified.

Mrs. Henry Rathburn, who died at
her home near Traver recently, was
the only woman who survived the
Sioux Indian raid in Decatur county
in 1876, says the Oberlin, Kan, cor
respondent Of the New York Sun.
He husband was a scout with Lieu
tenant Austin Henley, OF the 18th
United States Infantry.
In October, 1876, a band Of Sioux
Indians returning from the Indian
Territory to their former homes in
the Black Hills country, crossed
western Kansas under fire OF Federal
troops. In their flight through d.
catur county, and not far from the
Nebraska line, they stopped long
enough in the valley OF the Sappa
river to wreak vengeance on the
white people who had pushed their
settlements into that remote region.
Mrs. Rathburn heard the shots from
the Indian guns when mile away,
and by the aid Of fleet pony escaped
to safety five miles down the Sappa
river.
Soon after the raid the Sioux
pitched their camp in a semi-circle
valley beneath the bluffs which fringe
the Sappa river. Lieutenant Henley
attacked them there and in his re-
port Of the fight said: Nineteen
dead warriors were counted; eight
squaws and children were unavoid-
ably killed by shots intended for the
warriors. White men who visited
the scene two days later counted
forty bodies Of men, women and chill
dren lying promiscuously around the
burned remains of their camp.
But one Indian made his escape.
A young Indian without a family in
the camp, and another older one made
a dash for their lives up the long
Shopping hill to the north. When
mile or more away from the scene
of the battle, the Indian with a fam
lily said to the other: '"You are safe
now, go on. I am going back to die
with my family" He wheeled his
pony and rode back in the valley
to his death. The Cheyennes and
Sioux still continue to sing the praises
of the man who rode back to Idle
with his family"
in Arizona while on duty few
months later. In connection with
his death that incident is related.
Whe he arrived at Fort Lyon, near
the home of John Prower, the pion-
eer cattleman of the upper Arkansas,
he had among his effects some of
the ornaments and jewels captured
in the Sappa river fight. Some of
these had been worn by the medi-
cine men of the party and when Mrs.
Proven, who was a full blooded
Cheyenne, saw them she began
grooming and mourning that lasted
three days.
''The man who is responsible for
the death Of the medicine man will
die within year." she said, and
her prediction was verified.

To Honor DIR. Carlisle.

Spartanburg, Dec. 17.-Congress-
man JosepheI: Johnson has suggest
ed that figure of DR.. James H. Car
lisle, late president of Wofford col
lege, be- placed in Statuary Hall In.
the capitol at Washington with that
of John c. Calhoun, recently placed
there, as the two greatest men the
State has produced.
''South Carolina has never pro-
duced greater man not excepting
John c. Calhoun, or anyone else, than
DR.. Carlisle" said Mr.. Johnson. He
believes that it would be appropri-
ate for the State, as several others
have done, to select for this honor a
man who has not been in public life,
but who has had great influence in
moulding the destiny of the State.

w. Boyd Evans Goes to Washington
After District Attorneys Job.

: Washington; December 14.-The
first gun in what promises to be a
big political fight in South Carolina
was fired here to-day with the arrival
Of w. Boyd Evans, who will endeavor
to succeed District Attorney Ernest
L. Cochran, when the latter's term is
out, about February 1, 1910.
Mr.. Evans reached Washington
this morning, and when seen by The
News and Courier correspondent with
regard to his candidacy said that he
had come to Washington for this pur-
pose. 1t is understood that he is
backed with strong endorsements
from many lawyers in South Caro-
lima
1t is understood also that, in ad-
dition to Mr.. Evans, Mr.. P. H. Nell
son, of Columbia, will become can
didate.
John G. Capers, when asked about
the matter this afternoon, stated
that he had not recommended any,
one so far for the place, and that his
conference with Postmaster General
Hitchcock yesterday had no reference
to this matter, but referred to postal
business in South Carolina. ,..>..

BROOMs TO GO HIGHER.
Shortage in the Crop Of Corn This
Year Will Cause Raise in Price.

Evansville, Ind, Dec. 17.-Esti-
mates of the visible supply of broom
corn in the country, nearly all of
which is controlled by two factories
in this city, make it certain that the
price of brooms will go up rapidly.
Officers of the combination here say
they would not be surprised to see
housewives paying 81 piece for
brooms next year. g., .. .'..' ...
The shortage in the supply of corn
is so great that there is not enough
to make two brooms for each family
in the United States, it is figured.
Factories here are paying s240 ton
for corn, while the normal price is
less than $50.

AIKEN, FEDERAL. BUILDING.
Construction Work will Probably
Begin in the Spring.

Washington, D. c., Dec. 17-Work
on the new Federal building at
Aiken, for which Representative Pat
terson secured an appropriation of
$4,000 year or two ago is to be-
gin in April or May. J. Knox Taylor,
supervising architect of the treas
ury, to-day informed Mr.. Patterson
that because of the crowded condi-
ton Of work in his Office it had been
impossible to get to Aiken up to this
time, but that there need be no doubt
about the work beginning in the near
future. Bids will be called for in
the spring and in all probability the
contract will be at once awarded
which should insure the completion
of the building in about two years.

MUCH WHISKEY LEFT.
Dispensary Board Fails to Dispose Of
Its Stock.

The county dispensary will have
about $4,000 worth of stock to ad-
vertise again, the bids which were
opened on Wednesday not amount
ing to more than $4,000, and there
was nearly $1,000 stock on hand
to dispose of.
Many of the bidders did not COM
ply with the law, to put their bids
in triplicate, and, file one with the
County Auditor, one with the Clerk
of Court, and one with the Dispen-
sary Board. Bids not in compliance
with the law were rejected.
Some bids were lower than the
cost price, and some of these were
rejected. A few were higher even
than the old retail prices.
The Board will make official an
nouncement of anew advertisement
in a few days.

successful bidders will be published, >

JOHN CREEMER RELEASED.
Peculiar Development in Laurens
County Assault Case. .

Laurens, Dec. 17.-John Creemer,
the young white man who was ar
rested some days ago on the charge
of criminally assaulting an aged
white woman at Youngs township, has
been released from custody by the
authorities here. The warrant has
been withdrawn and the case will be
dropped.
However, a warrant has been is
sued against negro of that COM
munity. Will Johnson, the first ne
gro arrested, is still in Jail charged
with the same crime.
The officers here scarcely know
what to think of this complicated
case of arrest and release, charge and
additional charge. AS matter of
fact they, it seems to the correspon-
dent, rather doubt the whole affair.

FEW PASSED CENSUS TESTS.
Only Fifty-four South Carolinians
Successfully Stood Examination.

Washington, D. c., Dec. 17.-Di-
rector Durand, of the census bureau,
to-day Informed Representative Pat
terson that only "a of the applicants
in South Carolina who recently stood
examination for clerkship in the CEN
sus bureau here had been successful.
This covers the entire State. Mr..
Durand seemed to think that this in
ability to pass the examination sue
cessfully was no reflection on those
who attempted them, but was more
to be accounted for by reason of the
fact that the questions asked were
largely those dealing with manufac-
turing and kindred matters, about
which many persons have little
knowledge. It is not yet shown
whether another opportunity will be
given South Carolinians to try for
these places.
