Takes Place in Edgefleld County
Monday.
KILLS WIFE AND SELF
George Bush Shoots His Wife Six
Times, Mortally Wounding Her
and Then Takes Refuge in u
Swamp, Where He Puts u Bullet
Through His Own Brain.
Through His Own Brain.

Several parties from the neigh
borhood where the awful tragedy
occurred, brought the news to Edge
field Monday that Mr.. George Bush
had soht and instantly killed his wife,
Alice, the weapon used being a pistol.
The homicide occurred at the home
of Mr.. P. P. Doolittle, an uncle oil
Mrs. Bush's, near Rehoboth Baptist
church.
Mr.. and Mrs. Bush have been sep
arated several years, their trouble
being due to the formers alleged
very dissipated habits. He has lived
in Augusta for some time, but re-
Gently returned to this county, OF
which he is native, and in the
neighborhood where his wife resided,
and has been using efforts to get her
to return to him. This she refused
to do. On Saturday last he avowed
his intention to take his wife's life
and then his own, and while little
credence was given to what he said,
as a precaution, Mrs. Bush was NOV
ed from the place where she was
staying when the threat was made,
to her uncle's home, and it was there
that Mr.. Bush appeared at l o'clock
Monday morning, and it seems. with
out warning or excuse shot her to
death.
The circumstances of the homicide
are not known. Bush, it is said, fled
as soon as he got in his bloody
work.
At IL o'clock Monday Sheriff QUITS
received a telegram from Modoc on
the Charleston and Western Carroll
ma railway to come there at once,
that Bush had killed his wife, and
the presumption at Edgefeld was
that he had been captured at that
place about three miles from where
the killing occurred.
Bush is well known. having car
ried the mail from Edgefield to
Parksville for several years. He was
a hard drnker, it was alleged, but
was thought to be harmless. Mrs.
Bush before marrying was Miss
Doolittle, and a most estimable wo-
man, her family being prominent in
the county

SIX CRENaATED
WHEN THEIR HOME IS DESTROY
ED BY FIRE.
An Old Confederate Veteran and
Five Childden Meet Horrible Death
at Danvi1lc.

A dispatch from Danville, Va,
says as the result of a mysterious
fire, which totally destroyed the home
of S. E. Hamlett at South Boston
early Monday morning, five of their
children and H. A. Strange, aged
"a, were burned to death, and anoth-
er child, aged four years, seriously
injured. Mr.. and Mrs. Hamlet es-
capped without injury. The victims
OF the frightful affair are: NJ. A.
Strange, Vernie Hamlet, aged Il
years; Beatrice Hamlet, age seven
years; Violet Hamlet, age six years;
Cecil Hamlet, three years; Henry
Hamlet, age Is months.
Mr.. Hamlet, who is employed with
a planning mill at South Boston, re-
sided in a two-story frame building
on the west side of the city, near
the Norfolk and Western Railway.
The fire was discovered at about )
o'clock Monday morning by neigh
bors. At this hour the occupants
of the house had not been aroused,
and the building was almost COM
pletely enveloped in flames. the fire
ranging the worst on the south side
of the structure. The residence was
threatening to fall in at almost any
minute, when Mr.. Hamlet and his
wife were aroused. They were on
the north side of the house, and
their four-year-old child was in the
same room. They crawled out of the
window on the front porch and drop
ped the child to the ground. Both
Of the child's arms were broken by
the fall. The baby was also slightly
burned and its face lacerated Mr.
and Mrs. Hamlet reached the ground
in safety.
All of the occupants of the build
ing were sleeping on the second
story, and those who met death were
on the south side Of the house. When
the fire was discovered it was i'm
possible to save any of the children
or Mr.. Strange, all of whom it is
thought had been burned to death
by this time. Mr.. Strange was a
Confederate Veteran of Halifax coun-
ty, and was in South Boston to at
tend the Fourth of July celebra-
ton.
The building collapsed and fell a
few minutes after Mr.. Hamlett and
his wife escaped. The six bodies
of the victims of the fire were burn
ed to a crisp, the remains an un-
recognizable mass of bones being
taken from the debris.

Mrs. Bush Still Alive.

Later information brought by a
party direct from the scene of the
tragedy is that, although Mrs. Bush
is shot six times, she is alive with
no hopes of recovery.
Her statement is that her husband
met her coming from the spring
and demanded that she come back
to him. She refused. He then said:
well, you are dead woman" and
commenced firing, shooting her twice
after she was on the ground. The
news spread like wildtire, and soon
hundreds Of citizens gathered and
are hunting Bush. AS yet he has
not been captured, but likely will
be, and the apprehension is that he
will be lynched.

SHOT THROUGH HEART
ITALIAN CIGAR MANUFACTURERS
SLAIN IN FOUL MANNER.
Wife Does Not Hear Report But Dis
covers Fatal Wound When Hus-
bands Cloth Are Removed.

A dispatch from New. York says
what was at first thought to have
been Fourth of July casualty, the
police now believe was successful
plot to murder. Joseph Pagano, q
cigar manufacturer, was shot through
the heart by rifle ball as he was
about to climb into his bed in a
rear room on the third floor Of his
home at 22S Chrystie street. His
wife did not hear the report of a
shot and it was not until his cloth
ing was removed that the bullet
wound was discovered. The first po-
lice on the scene attributed the death
to bullet fired by persons cele-
brating the holiday, as there was
much shooting Immediately after
midnight.
Later, however, Mrs. Pagano de-
clared that the life Of her husband
had been threatened because Of
troubles among certain Italian secret
societies. Then the police investigat-
ed further and found that Pagano
had been shot by a rifle and not by
a pistol.
A number Of detectives were plac-
ed on the case, and before daylight
four men were found on the roof of
a building across the street. They
were hiding behind light shaft, and
were arrested. In a room occupied
by two of the men on the fourth
floor of the building was found a Ri
fie which had been discharged re-
Gently.
The location of the wound on
Pagano's body and the course of
the bullet indicated that the shot
had been fired from this building
across the areaway.
At the police station the four
prisoners refused to make a state
ment. Accepting the theory that
Pagano was murdered, the police be-
lieve that his assassins planned to
kill him on the Fourth of July so
that their shot would have been
drowned in the noise of the general
celebration.
