NEGROES HELD FOR TRIAL.
Five Men Arrested in Springfield for
Beating Colored Detective.

Orangeburg, Sept. "a This morn
ing q preliminary hearing was held
before Magistrate G.. P. Brunson in
the case of the State vs.. Sam Fan
ming, Ernest Gordon, Henry Isaacs,
Antony Wise and Ollen Drummond,
all negroes of Springfield, this coun-
ty. The Indictment charges them
with riot, privily stealing from the
body and assault and battery OF a
high and aggravated nature on one
Benjamin Bryant, negro detective.
It seems that the Law and Order
league Of Springfield had employed
a detective to come to that town and
locate some people who were selling
whiskey and traficking in cottonseed
in violation of the law. The detec-
tive brought this negro Bryant with
him to go among the negroes and buy
the contraband stuff, but the local
negroes caught on to his scheme and
on the night of September 18th at
tackled Bryant.
The evidence brought out this
morning was sufficient for Mr.. Brun-
son to bind the defendants over for
the next session of the court of gen.
eral sessions to be convened in jan
uary next They were recommitted
to Jail in default of $500 bond each
fixed by Mr.. Brunson. Capt. James
H. Tanning, of Springfield, prose-
cuted the negroes for the Law and
Order league of Springfield. This
league is determined to put stop to
the lawlessness going on in it's vicini-

Night on Bald Mountain.

On a lonely night Alex. Benton of
Fort Edward, N. Y, climbed Bald
Mountain to the home of neighbor

This wonderful medicine soon re-

Collects Evidence.

Georgetown, Sept. 25.-Solicitor
Walter H. Wells, of this circuit has
been paying considerable attention to
getting up evidence in the Bigham
tragedy. He has succeeded so well
that he decided it was proper to raise
the original bond of Avant and Big
ham of $500 each to $4,000 each.
It appears now that the trial Of this
case will be of considerable interest.

ner in which the automobilists coop
crate with the management to make
the day a success. Minneapolis and
st. Paul fell down in holding up their
records. and on Friday night the at
tendance figures were $4,000 behind
the mark set by the first five days Of
the 1908 fair.
1t was up to the automobiles to
make up these figures and save the
record. Although the attendance on
Saturday was large, none of the fair
officials came within 5000 admissions
of reaching the total for the day. AS
late as midnight Saturday the superin-
tendent of gates gave the estimate for
the day as only $4,000, basing the fig
ures on the turnstile count at p. m.
This left the weeks attendance nearly
1000 below the record for 1908.
Superintendent Is Surprised.
When Leslie G. Fuller, auditor for
the superintendent of gates had
checked up all the automobiles who
had gone through the horse gates in
their cars the attendance for the day
was swelled to 48,015.
This made the total attendance for
the week 32S,67S, compared with 1885,
743, the total for the previous fair
an increase of about 1000. AS the
fair management had cut down the
free list from 1854 to about $4,000,
the record is entirely satisfactory to
the managers, as the number of paid
admissions increased about $4,000.
The grandstand admissions rose
from 152,245 in 1908 to 154,356 for this
year, thereby materially increasing the
receipts of the fair. The grandstand
last week paid net dividend of more
than 10 per cent on it's cost.
Surplus Gets $4,000.
1t will not be possible to obtain a
complete financial report for several
days, but the profits are approximately
estimated at 100000. The surplus
will not be as large as usual on &C.
count of the great expense in complet-
ing the grandstand, constructing the
farm implements buildings, and the
cost of the work on the lagoons and
various other improvements. The
managers expect to carry about $685.
900 over for next years fair.

sible.
Scherer was the nominal proprietor
of saloon which his wife really
owned and she announced her inten-
ton to evict him and secure di.
vorce. She stayed at the Fifth Aven-
ue hotel, away from her husband.
At $50 in the morning her hus-
band approached her in an effort to
induce her to live with him. A quar-
rel followed and he beat her terribly
about the face and body. He said he
was going to shoot her, but she leaped
from window onto the cement pave
ment. Thinking she was dead, Scher.
er took an ounce of acid. He went
down into the street and said:
Il have done it, but l can walk to
the police station before 1 die. Take
care of my wife,"
They were married nine years ago.

claimed attention was paid her by
others. They were formerly residents

were burned to death.
William, another son, years old,
was terribly burned about the head,
arms and chest in his heroic efforts
to save his little brothers and sisters,
six Of whom were sleeping in the Sc
cond story Of the cottage.
Sarah, another daughter, was badly
burned about the arms in her efforts
to help the imprisoned babies on the
second floor. Mr.. Walsh, the father,
was also badly burned He received
his injuries from the explosion of a
gasoline stove in the kitchen, which
exploded when he attempted to fill the
reservoir, supposing that none of the
burners were lighted. One, however,
had been left burning and when he
pourned the gasoline into the tank the
gas caught fire.
The fire Immediately spread thru
out the frame structure and it was a
roaring furnace in a few minutes.
Six children, including those dead,
were sleeping on the second floor and
were practically imprisoned by the
flames. The rest of the family of 10
children and the parents were down.

William, who is now in st. Joseph's
hospital, st. Paul, might have escaped
without injury had he not remained to
assist his less fortunate brothers and
sisters. He was finally compelled to
jump from a second-story window.
